    Solomon and Sheba: Harmless fiction?

    I did something yesterday which I seldom do: I watched a movie “based” on the Bible. ”The fabulous story of a wise king and the beautiful queen who tried to conquer his young nation!” The story, as depicted in the movie, is virtually entirely false. The movie is entertaining but truth in...

    Waiting for the call

    “Even when a man discovers the task for which God has sent him into the world, he has still another problem to solve, the problem of when to begin it. If he begins too soon, he will begin without the necessary preparation and equipment for the task. If he waits until too late, he may never begin...

    Are Ouija boards (also called “spirit boards”) harmless?

    “The devil and the demons aren’t real.” There’s a lot of that talk going on around the forum these days. With that in mind … “Question: A friend of mine has used a Ouija board on several occasions. I have advised him against using it, but he insists it is used just for fun and that it is...

    The lying spirit sent by Yahweh

    “Micaiah said, ‘Therefore hear Yahweh’s word, I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left. Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing, and another said another. A...

    Does God love the angels and does God want the angels to love him?

    I think most people who believe God exists would say without hesitation that God loves human beings and God wants human beings to love him. God doesn’t force us to love him. The question I would like to ask in this thread is: Does God love the angels and does God want the angels to love him...

    Three strategies of Satan to take the word away

    “How does he try to take it from those who hear? When Jesus interprets the parable of the soils in Mark 4:14-20, he only refers to Satan once. He says in verse 14 that the sower is sowing the Word, and then in verse 15 he says, ‘These are the ones along the path, where the word is sown; when...

    Does everyone begin with their name written in the Book of Life?

    “When are our names written in the Book of Life ... and can they be removed? When we are conceived! Anyone who has ever ‘received the breath of life’ (Genesis 2:7) - including those who are living now - has their name written in the Book of Life. However, it is possible to have your name...

    Porphyry wants to know

    “If Christ declares himself to be the way of salvation, the grace and truth, and affirms that in him alone, and only to souls believing in him, is the way of return to God, what has become of the men who lived in the many centuries before Christ came?” What do you say to this ancient (3rd...

    No one? No, not so much as one

    “As it is written, ‘There is no one righteous; no, not one. There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.’” (Romans 3:10-12, WEB)

    Origin stories which don’t exist for people, places and things mentioned in the Bible

    Does anyone have a convenient list of origin stories which don’t exist for people, places and things mentioned in the Bible? Starting at the top: God. Add from there, if you would like to contribute to this thread. Do you believe in them?

    Christadelphians, the Devil and Satan

    @Hiddenthings (a self-acknowledged Christadelphian - in other words, something which he hasn’t kept hidden from his readers) hasn’t done it so I’ll do it for him - a thread on the Christadelphian belief and teaching about the devil and Satan, using a Christadelphian source. If he wants to amend...

    “Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch. They and many others taught the word of the Lord there. After some time Paul said to Barnabas, ‘Let’s go back and visit each city where we previously preached the word of the Lord, to see how the new believers are doing.’” (Acts 15:35-36, NLT)

    Believing Jewish monotheist to unbelieving Jewish monotheists and Gentiles

    “Men of Israel, and you Gentiles who fear God, listen. The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and made the people great during their stay as foreigners in the country of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the...
