In the O.T. God commands his people to go to war with other peoples at various times. I know there is at least one time that they were to bash the young childrens heads with rocks to kill them. I am sure the people he wanted killed were evil, but why kill the innocent children so inhumanely...

Can someone tell me where in the Bible it tells of how Satan can use the Bible to make his own points? Also where it tells how it takes a believer to understand the Bible?

This is something I thought I knew about but Satan seems to be trying to confuse me. I'm trying to help another christian lead others to Jesus. He asked me "what if someone is only kind of sure they believe Jesus died for thier sins, are they saved?". I told him faith is not really a 100% sure...

Let me say right off I do not believe in reincarnation, but I have not found a good answer for the following verses. I am trying to convince someone that reincarnation is just not true but he keeps showing me these:Matthew 17:10-13:10The disciples asked him, "Why then do the teachers of the law...

I’m in need of help. My son just turned 17. He has been obsessed with dragons for about two years now. My wife and I have talked to him about it several times. We have let it go this long because we haven’t been sure that there is anything wrong with it. He told his mom a couple of days ago that...

Can the ones dead (in Jesus, in Heaven) see what is going on here on earth and can they communicate with thier loved ones? I don't think so but I also don't think it says anywhere in the Bible for sure. I wouldn't think God would allow them to see all the sin that goes on.

I know from the rich man / Lazarus story that those in hell can not communicate with the earthly living. What about the saints in Heaven? I would think probably not but I would like to know where in the Bible it says they can't.

Is it not a sin to say "oh my god!"? This little phrase seems to be used a lot but seems to me like using God's name in vain.

I have heard that christians should not sue one another but work it out between one another. I have also heard that it is alright to sue non-christians. I'm sure I have read about it in the Bible but I'm not sure where. Can someone help me with this?

I have heard new wine is basically grape juice, and other wines have alcohol. I'm not really sure about that but what kind of wine is Paul recommending for Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:23?

I am a firm believer in Jesus but I do not go to a church now. I have went off and on all my life but it wasn't until I quit going that I became much closer to the Lord. I am not saying people should not go to church. It just doesn't seem to be for me. I think the churches I went to were not...

If the Gospel is explained to a 4 year old and he doesnt understand, is he not saved and going to hell? I always thought children (and babies) were saved until they could understand. Am I wrong?

I was just wondering, why didn't Jesus personally write some of the Bible? Or did he write some of his teachings and the apostles later use them in thier books of the NT?

When will the saved receive a new glorified body? Is it at the beginning of tribulation or beginning of the millenium reign of Jesus?

I am a little confused as to how long the six days of creation actually lasted. I have thought they were not exactly 24 hours as the sun and moon were not created on the first "day". Some are telling me they were actually 24 hour days. If that is correct, mankind must have been around much more...

Since it so difficult to not sin, how hard should a Christian try to not sin? Very hard? For example, not go even one mile over the speed limit? Should I research local laws to make sure I'm not breaking one? Also, what exactly is a sin? There are many things in the OT about things to do and not...

In the OT did most people (that believed in God) expect to have life after this earth in Heaven? Also, was God's law not only given to Israel? Did people from other countries have any chance to not go to hell?

I have heard once saved we will be rewarded for our good works. I understand what that might be on earth but what kind of rewards would that mean in Heaven? Would those rewards be reduced by sins commited after being saved? Would we be rewarded for anything good done before being saved? I have...
