The framing of questions like this one can be very telling. "Should a Christian GET INVOLVED..."? That right there puts a negative spin on the whole notion...
The Bible clearly opposes rape and sexual violence. Even though the laws and customs of ancient times were different from today, Scripture consistently...

Mark, I don't think it's incorrect to say that 'God WILL FORGIVE sin.' The scriptures you list say, in one way or another, that God HATH FORGIVEN sin. The...

Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith itself is proof of that which is unseen. Those things...

Excellent answer, Danny!

The abomination standing in the holy place is a sign that the time is near. There are others. Sorry, I disagree.

The Scriptures teach that Jesus was tempted in every way, just as we are (Heb 2:18; 4:15). This implies that He could have sinned. If sin were impossible for...

Phillip, how can you say there will be no signs? Jesus told the disciples numerous signs that would show that the end is near. He just said we would not know...
Could Jesus have sinned? Jack's answer that Jesus could NOT sin provoked some thoughts and led me to add my answer. The fact that Jesus could NOT sin...

Amen! Every one comes in or doesn't individually!
