I can understand this answer. It seems the most correct to me. :)

Where is the Ark of the Covenant today? I would think it's where God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwells. So the bride of Christ, the Church, being sealed with the Spirit of God, is indwelt by God, so the Ark of the Covenant is in the true Church. I'm not sure on this but it makes sense...

What do you think the definition of the heart of man is? Aside from the fact that it is utterly sinful, exactly what is it?

In Lamentations 3, the writer goes thru times where God shuts out his prayer, but then toward the end of the chapter God hears the prayer, and I can't understand what he is doing any differently. Maybe you have some insight. Verse 8 Even when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my...

I see repentance as something that is on going in a Christian's life. Regardless of the severity of the sin - malicious or not. For the nonbeliever, the Greek grammar used in 1 John 3:6 is No one who abides in Him practices, makes a living at, sin; no one who practices, makes a living at sin...

The prodigal son was in the family, part of the bloodline of the father. He seemed to have malice toward his father when he took off with his part of the inheritance. He insulted his father with malice before he committed the sins of the flesh. But regardless of what he did, the father waited...

Thanks for praying for me. Got thru another day without giving up hope.

For 17 years I've been a sexually immoral person. Looking at inappropriate magazines for that long has turned me into an addict. I don't know when I became a Christian, but I dragged my baggage into my relationship with Christ so He could heal me. He meets us as we are, and that's what...

I've been getting good Christian counseling for a while now. We've finally nailed the problem down to trust. I'm afraid to trust God. I've been abused physically, spiritually, and emotionally in the past, and now it's hard to trust. I get defensive - I put walls up so I don't get hurt again...

It's a sin, but so is everything else we do when we're alive. We are all sinners, 24/7. Our unrighteousness is sin, even our righteousness is as filthy rags, a sin. But if we have Christ's righteousness covering us by faith, neither death nor life shall separate us from the love of God which...

I need sincere brotherly help with this. Only encouragers please. Back in high school I played chess with a guy named Dale. Dale often blurted out the Lord's name in vain. I went to a strict church where the doctrine was not always right, now that I look back. The Sunday School teacher told...

It isn't a sin for a Christian to be depressed. Depression occurs when chemicals in the brain are out of balance. A depressed Christian actually has joy in the inner man, but is dealing with the back part of the brain that produces feelings. I know, because although I am on medicine for...

I don't think it's wise for me, at this point when my heart isn't convinced either way, to choose whether I believe in the rapture or not. It doesn't matter to me. I need Christ's protection every day, and He will be with me until the end regardless. What I am interested in knowing is "what...

I don't sense in my heart of hearts I'm trying to use God as a vending machine. Besides, 1 Peter 5:7 says to cast all our anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. And another place says to bear one anothers' burdens. I've accepted my illness, anyway. I'm talking about when it's hard to see...

I'm reminded of the man wih legions of demons having been cast out by Jesus. When the countryside of Gerasenes saw the pigs drown, they told Jesus to go. The man who was sitting clothed in his right mind wanted to follow Jesus, and Jesus told him to go back to his house and tell them how the...

I'll agree with that, cause it's a good point, something I didn't put in my responses, but is very true. Me gossiping is no better than a homosexual having sex with another same sex person. Romans emphasizes we are all guilty. Immorality is immorality, too. Any one messing around? In...

People may be born this way. But it's their cross they must bear. I've got mental illness. It's my cross. I don't commit sin because of it, though. That's the way to look at homosexuality. It's a cross, you don't have to sin with it. If you do, then you're going down the wrong road. We...

Because God said so. There are reasons like the earth's population would decrease to nothing, children that are born wouldn't have a mother and dad. But if these answers don't suit anyone, "because God said so."

In Matthew 16:13-17 it's written Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." He said to...

You are new to the faith, right? You are a babe, and the Father loves the babies of his adoption. They can do not much more than burp, eat, sleep, poop, and cry. But the Father loves you. And you're very honest. We are helpless until we've grasped some of who Christ is. Remember sufficient...
