Why did God respect Abel’s offering and not Cain’s?
The Bible says God had respect to Abel’s offering of the firstling of his flock, but had not respect to the offering of Cain when he offered the fruit of the ground. Why would God make such a distinction? It might appear as if God is not just, and arbitrarily chooses to have respect or …
Does God reward our good behavior, and punish our bad behavior?
I still find myself, at times, stumbling over that stumbling stone, the grace of Jesus. Why would a Christian say such a thing? A Christian can backslide by abandoning his or her morals, and getting caught up in the world, and the lust of the flesh. A Christian can also backslide by abandoning the righteousness …
Can we feel younger as we grow older?
Is it possible to grow older, and yet feel younger? Man has been in search for the fountain of youth since time began. Science now believes that with the proper diet, nutrient supplements and replacement surgery, a man or woman could possibly live for centuries. I do not believe God wants us to live for …
Coexist
We have all seen the bumper sticker or logo that features all the religions of the world, and spells out the word, coexist. This sounds like a wonderful, utopian idea. If only all the religions of the world could emphasize their similarities, and stop focusing on their differences, perhaps we could have peace and security. …
Can faith alone save us? Yes!
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Do we need to mix our faith with works to be saved? Is this what James was saying in this passage? Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the …
An argument against, pre-tribulation rapture.
Much research can be done about the genesis of the pre-tribulation rapture doctrine. Most studies lead to it not being widely recognized in the church before the 1800’s. This can be debated, but the Bible itself has much to say about the end times. Dan.7:24-25 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten …
What is the will of God?
The Lord’s prayer has included in it the verse, “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” But how can we be certain what God’s will is? When Jesus prayed that the Father’s will be done on earth as in heaven, he was proclaiming the kingdom of God. In God’s kingdom his …
Can we recognize the true Gospel of God from a counterfeit?
You think it would be easy to know a true teacher of the Word of God, from a false one. Or that it would be simple to recognize the genuine Gospel of Christ, from a counterfeit. It is, if we know what to look for. Satan however is cleaver, and out to deceive both those …
Can being good get us into heaven?
Oprah Denies Jesus Christ – YouTube. Is it possible to enter heaven by being good? Over and over I come across this idea. God would certainly welcome a person who does good, and helps other, into heaven. How could God be just, and keep a good person out of heaven? It would make no sense, …
Do all religious paths lead to God?
I have heard in the past, that all paths of a religious nature lead to God. We may be on different paths, according to our own understanding of God, or our particular upbringing or circumstances. One person likened it to a mountain, with God at the peak. There are many paths to the top of …
