    Assisted dying

    Thank you for your perspective. Can Christians still love their neighbors, even as they are physically helpless, in pain, and dying? What does God have to say to us? Blessings.

    What if Adam and Eve hadn’t disobeyed God . . . ?

    Overheard on Family Life Radio, a brief dialog: Questioner: What if Adam and Eve had not disobeyed God (so that all born after would be fallen)? Would we still need Jesus? Responder: Jesus came not only to redeem, but to establish his Kingdom, so yes, we would still need Jesus. Comments?

    Abortion up to birth bill passes in the UK

    Thank you for the post. Given the influential Muslim population in the UK, it is a surprising development. Their pro-life views are essentially the same as those of Christians. Perhaps, as with other laws there, Muslims will decide what they will obey: to them, UK laws are irrelevant. Blessings.

    Exactly

    Thanks for the reply. You are correct that God does not need protecting. If it sounds like Christians are protecting Him, that is an unfortunate anthropomorphism. Again, as I explained previously, when the Christian message is being slandered deliberately, Christians try their best to counter...

    Exactly

    Thank you for your reply, which clarifies the discussion. Christians will be offended if God is slandered or mocked. Is that so different from defending another person from slander, lies, etc.? Is that so different from defending one’s beliefs from lies, etc.? If you are fighting for...

    Exactly

    Thank you for your post and questions. It is clear from scripture that if you deliberately hurt another person, for your own selfish reasons, God will be offended. Or, if you are able to help the needy of your own volition, but choose to neither share nor care, God will be offended. (There...

    Christian nationalism

    Thank you for your post. The term “Christian Nationalism” has no consistent definition, but depends on the agenda of the group discussing it. Here is what it means to me: Christian nationalism focuses on promoting Christian values in all aspects of political, cultural, and social life...

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Thank you for the long analysis. Unfortunately, there remain questions for me (and possibly just me). The one person (A) strives his whole life to love his neighbor as described in the law and as clarified by Jesus. His flaw: He does not declare Jesus as savior. The second person (B)...

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Thank you all for the discussion. The question of an eternity of suffering in fire for the nonbeliever still needs clarification: truly an eternity, and not a finite time, with the positive aspects of the nonbeliever’s life taken into consideration? Consider two people: A: This person is a...

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Thank you for engaging. It would appear all of us agree that the clear teaching of Scripture is: without accepting Christ as Savior (and living as Christ said we should), then that person will spend eternity suffering after death. Well, suppose a person lives and exemplary life: loving God...

    How might I Console a Relative in Hospice Who Refuses Visitors

    Good friends: a close relative is in hospice, in some pain. I would like to be with him for even a short time, to pray with him and for him. His wife says he is refusing all visitors. What might be a reasonable approach? Blessings.

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Pardon: we are interrupting the dialog in progress for an aside—separate discussion of “What is Justice?” Corrective justice: basically, redressing wrongs, making amends for damages. Retributive justice: assigning the offender punitive damages proportional to the crime. As opposed to revenge...

    Hell as the default for humankind?

    Help me understand your point of view. The original post had 4 statements and a question, “What is wrong with this picture?” If you concur with the 4 statements, then the answer might could be, “There is nothing wrong!” perhaps followed by a statement concerning the infallibility of the God’s...

    Hello, im a newbie here

    Thank for responding. Yes, it is a tough question, but worth considering if we are to spread the gospel and perhaps advise the youth on the importance of staying close to God. Your proposal sounds right: let us hope you will have the opportunity! Blessings.

    Hello, im a newbie here

    What does the Bible say about hatred of Jews?

    Thank you both for your posts. What are the sources for the hatred? Examples— 1. Jewish people refusing to honor moral pronouncements from leaders (e.g., Pharaoh and modern communist states). 2. Easy target to blame for own failures. 3. ? Peace
