I paraphrased this, but now can't find the source. Can anyone help? God says are there other gods? No, none that I know of before or after me. I'm sorry if I butchered the original reference.

In my travels, I was told by a non-Christian that Jesus said he wasn't going to a fair or festival, and then went anyway, making him a liar. This doesn't ring a bell at all (I also don't know where it is) and I know there's an explanation. Did he deliberately misinterpret the text?

Someone asked me a question that I didn't have an answer to and couldn't find in my Bible dictionary. Was the savior foretold as being of Nazareth in the OT? If so, where? Thanks in advance.

Gotta problem. I'm debating a Mormon online and he brought up some things I can't answer (the first time that's ever happened). --Did God break his promise to Abraham about the land of Canaan?--What about the events with Jonah and Nineveh? False prophesies?--And when Jesus said (Matthew...

My wife wants a divorce. It's not just her doing because I set some of the events in motion to get us to this point, but I've been begging God to heal my marriage and make me the husband, father, and man I ought to be without an answer.Doesn't he want to sanctify and protect marriages? I'm at a...

Gotta problem. How do I respond to someone that points out 2 Samuel 12 v. 7:8 as support for God permitting polygamy? In context, it seems like he's right, but the Biblical ideal is monogamy. My Bible dictionary (Illustrated Dictionary of the Bible by Herbert Lockyer, Sr.) doesn't help me...

This is going to seem heretical, but I have to ask it, in two-pronged form. I grew up Catholic and now consider myself a recovered Catholic (insert laugh track here). It took me some 30 years to discover that Catholicsm and Christianity aren't the same, and that tore down many walls for me...

I had a friend in Brisbane, Australia named Steve who's had a hard time of things over the last two years. He lost his job right after his son was born for fighting with a coworker.Steve and I would talk for hours via IM about cars and the difference/similarities between Americans and...

I guess I'm a little embarassed that I don't know this already, but what's the difference/definition between/of the terms apologetic/evangelical/charismatic?

I purchased several books through a book club several years ago and want to know if anyone else has read them. The books are The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of its Sacred Texts by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman and Rabbi Jesus: An...

As I take baby steps towards God, I've found one person whose faith, unshakeable as it was, has given me some strength. He wasn't any of the standards that people would name as inspirational, like Billy Graham or someone similar, but one who was as equally faithful as he was flawed. I...
