The Old Testament is the whole first part of the Bible that includes the time before Jesus came to earth, beginning with God creating the world. The New Testament is the rest of the Bible that includes Jesus’ time on earth, his life and death, and the beginning of Christianity – how it grew in […]
“Sometimes I hear Christians refer to God as “Father”, other times they talk about God as Jesus, and then who or what is the Holy Spirit? And which one do you pray TO?” This one used to stump me big time. Here’s the scoop: Christians believe in something called the Trinity – “Tri” = 3. […]
But you’ll go somewhere when you die, and if you don’t believe that, then what a depressing thought, you really think this is IT? Do you really think that is possible? What if you’re wrong? Eternity is a long time. I’ll repeat what I said in another post: Don’t miss this… What IF? What if […]
In the Old Testament (see previous question) a huge part of the whole story of God and His people has to do with how they “atoned” (made up for) their sins by coming once a year to the temple to offer a perfect sacrifice to God. This means they brought the very best of what they […]
…especially compared to most, only the really rotten people have to worry about where they’re going when they die, right?” Here’s the thing though — we all “sin” (mess up), and yes, some may sin in smaller ways than others, but compared to who? The guy in prison? The person next door? Or compared to […]
Pray for the gift of faith! Faith is “believing what we can’t see”, and if you keep reading your Bible and other books about Christianity, go to church so you can learn more, find friends who are also trying to live their faith and who you can “chew on” these things with, and if you […]
“I was raised in a Christian church and have always tried to live right, I go to church on Sundays and I’ve even tried to pick up my Bible before, but I just don’t get it. I see other Christians who seem so “on fire” in their faith, and for me, “it” just isn’t there, […]
This question makes me think of what it must be like for babies before they are born. They probably can’t “imagine” another world beyond where they are inside their mother. Yet they have to “die” to that world to be born into a new even bigger world. We are the same way, where we are […]
You don’t. You need to find all of this out for yourself, PRAY and ask God for help. Because even if everything I’m telling you that I believe to be the Truth with all my heart and soul someday ends up being wrong, there is still only ONE Truth. If I’m right I stand to […]
God doesn’t change depending on what we think is right or wrong. Even if we all “see” Him differently, it doesn’t mean He is different or that we can all live how we want. Instead it means we need to change ourselves to live how He asks. As far as the Truth, even if you […]
