The following appeared in a post about young earth vs old earth debate. Since God finished all of creation in 6 days, that must have included all of the infectious diseases which only affect and are only transmitted by humans (e.g., small pox, measles, some STDs). That would imply Adam or Eve...

Thank you for your post. Matthew 5:22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. Matthew 5:29 If your right eye causes you...

Thanks for the provocative posting. Perhaps the logical conclusions are (a) nothing wrong at all, and (b) good Christians should be preaching the gospel whenever an opportunity presents itself, in order to save as many souls as possible from Hell. Blessings.

Thank you for the question. In Matthew 18: 15-17—Jesus says that if someone in a (Christian) community is causing harm, we have a responsibility to draw it to his/her attention and persuade the person to change. Do you see this happening? If so, remember to engage with love! Blessings.

Thank you for the novel exchange. Consider the following: if life finds its fullest meaning in service to others, how might that continue in the eternal? Does it make any sense that people in heaven need assistance and that others there can render it? Perhaps blessed alternatives will be...

Thank you for exploring this topic. Is your conclusion “all CAN be saved”? If someone refuses to atone, if someone rejects God, scriptures surely say salvation will not be there. As to the eternal outcome, we have had this discussion before. Blessings.

Thank you for the perspective and questions. Whether we accept the fact or not, all the major religions (not just Christianity) have “denominations” or “sects.” Since that must be a feature of God’s design for humans, we should find a way to work with it, and not rail against it. One...

Thanks for posting. You are in our prayers. May the Holy Spirit help you turn the perpetrators away from violence. May God be with you. Amen.

As we use our God-given brains to discover the amazing details of His creation, sometimes incredible new tools emerge. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a diagnostic tool that relies on positrons (positively charged electrons) for high-resolution of the bodies organs in order to detect...

The following was originally posted on the “Victory Girls” website: John Adams ”The Second Day of July 1776 will be the most memorable Epoch in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be...

How frustrating. May God comfort you, strengthen you, and sustain you.

I watched a typical video on the “young” Grand Canyon. There were two spurious assumptions: (1) Noah’s flood occurred so the layer at the bottom must be from the flood. (2) The layer at the bottom is sandstone that easily fractures, so it must be “young.” Not terribly good science. Go in...

Thank you for answering. The Bible was never intended as a science textbook. It is a book about God (although Pastor Begg says it is really a book about Jesus). God reveals His character, expectations, promises, warnings, . . . . Are there any references to technology changes from Abraham...

Please provide a link to the “new science” about the layers in the Grand Canyon.

Thank you for responding. When sediment is layered after a flood, the heaviest items settle first, etc., with the lightest on top. That is not what is observed. Peace.

Thank you for the comment. Science confirms that various historical events described in the Bible took place. The disagreements are about when they took place. Peace.

Thank you for the questions. At archeological sites one finds layers of sediment as well as debris from years of habitation. How can we date these layers? The thickness and composition of each layer provides information about how and when it was deposited, but absolute dating requires other...

Thank you for all of your comments on this contentious topic. Unfortunately, the above questions are enigmatic. How is what so? What does “this” refer to? What “people“ make what “assumptions”? Blessings.

Thank you for the discussion. Curious: if the Earth is only ~6,000 years old, how will you date the layers found in Middle East archeological digs? Top: earliest iron tools ~3,200 years ago Next down: earliest bronze tools ~5,500 years ago Next: earliest pottery ?years ago Next: earliest...

Thank you for sharing. You are clearly taking sound Christian approach. The end result of the “headaches” will (we hope) be character building. God give you patience and wisdom.
