    Is a woman required to cover her head today?

    Wiki: If you feel like those early Christians, then go ahead and cover your head. I am not against that. However, generally speaking, I don't think every Christian woman is required to cover her hair today. To me, this rule today seems to focus on superficiality. Paul had his legitimate reason...

    What happens to your soul when you die?

    The Hebrew word "nephesh" (soul) and the Greek words "phyches" (soul) and "pneumatos" (spirit) and the English word 'soul" are polysemantic. For the sake of disambiguity and argumentation, here, I define soul more precisely as the faculties of conscience, volition, intellect, emotion, memory...

    Is faith, by definition, blind?

    John 20: Hebrews 11: 2 Corinthians 5: All 3 verses indicate that faith is not-seen. Is faith by definition not-seen? If God says it, that is sufficient reason for me to believe it. God does not lie. I don't need any more evidence to believe. I don't mind having blind faith in God's word...

    Can Satan Inject Thoughts Into Your Mind?

    Humans can use technology. The point of the question is NOT whether Satan uses human technologies. Satan uses whatever is available. The point of the question is whether Satan can supernaturally inject thoughts into your mind. Please note this distinction.

    Is Yoga a sin?

    Yes, if you believe their worldview. No, if you believe in Paul's worldview. The same can be said about tai chi, karate, etc. Make sure you hold on to 1 Corinthians 8: If your spiritual conscience is weak or insecure, I advise against practicing Yoga. Try some neutral fitness exercises...

    Tithing 10%?

    Jesus said in Matthew 23: 10% is a good rule of thumb. Paul did the 10% when he was a Pharisee. After his conversion, he was less legalistic and more flexible, 2 Corinthians 9: Generally, Jesus said in Matthew 6: Take good financial care of your family. Pay down your debts. Give to your local...

    Is The Last Temptation of Christ worth watching?

    As a musical, I enjoyed some of the songs. As a drama, not so much. As a theology, not at all. Still, I wouldn't mind watching it again with some friends but I don't think I will watch it again by myself.
