At church, last night, . . . the pastor spoke on election. . . . how no one can come to God without being called/drawn by God. He had all sorts of verses for it, . . . but was man enough to bring up the fact that the bible is actually a bit conflicting on "salvatation", since "whoever calls on...

I'm looking for the verse that states that God "is not bound by time", or something along those lines. I've heard it said before, and am curious as to the verse where this thought comes from. As this is the science section, . . . please discuss the ramifications, if it is true. Is God...

It was asked of me, in the "did A & E exist" thread, what I wanted from God. I had expressed that I no longer was able to "be a christian" because any attempt to do so (knowing what I do) would be "deceiving myself". So, this is my response to that question, so the A & E thread wouldn't be...

This question was brought up in aother forum I go to, and I said that I would ask here. That was the question. I will add to it. If the wages of a person's sin is an eternal death and punishment in Hell, . . . why have a finite event, being the "killing of a physical body"?

Was Jesus being literal when he said, "if your eye offends you, cut it out"? If the premise is that "a person is better to enter heaven with one eye than burn for all eternity with both eyes", . . . is that a way to handle the situation? If figurative, then we can look at what was said with...

If the "first light" spoken of on "day one of creation" was God, and if God is supposed to be "omnipresent", then how was there a night? Why be a light for the earth for a few days, then delegate a physical nuclear reactor [our sun] to fill that role. If God is light, . . . why did "he turn...

Why does the Bible call for the death of a son who curses his parents? Why isn't it being done today? Is it because our current system of laws overrules Biblical principles?

I was listening to Bott Radio, and they have people call in with prayer requests. A lady called in with a prayer request that I could really relate to. Her husband and her were seperated, and she was wanting to reconsile with him, and asking that people pray that "God would change his heart"...

In the story of David and Goliath, David goes to a stream and picks out 5 smooth stones. However, he only uses one. Why did he pick out FIVE stones? Was his faith not as strong, and felt he needed backup, . . . . . . or is the Bible giving us a valuable message that "you should always have...

A comment of mine was in danger of side tracking another thread, so I am starting a new one. Here's the initial exchange: My question is, how is "doing what God commands" or as shad said "putting God first in your life" equal to "a personal relationship"? I can see how it would be something...

What does God do with all the spirits when they return? When are these spirits created? Which part of us, is the spirit? Do we control it? Is it who we are?

When did Moses or Abraham accept Jesus in order to go to Heaven, as is the only way one can?

Here is one bit of evidence that proves that the whole Bible is, in fact, NOT "all inspired of God". Here it is: Philemon :clap

I was listening to a sermon on the Holy Spirit, specifically the "initial evidence of the infilling of the Holy Spirit by speaking in tongues". The pastor was saying that every Christian should be asking for this "free gift" (that term is VERY important to my question) from the Holy Spirt. It...

Moses was up on Mt. Sinai getting the "10 commandments", . . . the poeple were building a "golden calf" out of all the gold they took from the egyptians, melting it down for the idol (I wonder how they built such a significant [large enough to cast the idol] furnace so quickly, but I digress)...

When the Bible tells us to "cast our cares upon Him", . . . how is that actually done, and does that mean that the person who DOES, no longer has anxiety/sadness over it? I've been going through some majorly horrible situations lately. When I ponder the verse that tells me to cast these...

According to James 1:13, if God cannot be tempted, nor tempt anyone, . . . .who is the Psalmist talking about when he says, "lead me not into temptation", . . . if all the words of the Bible are inspired?

"Without faith, it is impossible to please God." Why is that? I've questioned this for a long time now. What is so "holy" about "believing in that which is unseen, unheard"? Why would God have such an undenyable presence at ONE time in history [old and new testament], . . .then drastically...

For the past two years, God has punishes me a lot, it seems. I was involved in a good marriage. We always got along, never fought, had all sorts of things in common, did things together all the time, . . . yet she divorced me because she wanted something else. I had prayed and PRAYED that God...

The phrase, "God is all I need" is a very common one that is used in the Christian church, . . . but how true is it, . . . and can it really even be followed? I am not really sure it CAN be adhered to, firstly. How many sing or say the phrase, yet must keep up with many other things in thier...
