Explain step by step the argument Paul presents in Romans in defense of his missionary practice of including the Gentiles without requiring them to observe the Law of Moses.

What exactly is the spirit of God? What is the difference between the spirit of God and the spirit of man?

How to be baptized?

Why are the 'poor in spirit' blessed?

For a long time I was hung up on the idea that the whole human race came from Adam and Eve.

What evil spirit do you think is newly coming about across America?

I don't believe in God, but I am a Christian.

When is it inappropriate to take the Lord's Supper?

"Where does it say in the Bible that Jesus is God?"-asked a Jehovah's Witnesses friend of mine.

Recently you gave an explanation of "poor in spirit" to mean that one is "empty of self righteousness." I read all you said and I still don't understand how you came to that conclusion.

Painting 7: Please do another more accurate creation story with a more accurate picture PLEASE especially the picture.

Why do I always hear the preachers in church say that Jesus experienced everything we will ever experience, or was tempted in every way we can be?

Isaiah 53:5 says that by His stripes we are healed. I've heard many pastors state this is the biblical basis for God's physical healing to us, while others say that this particular passages is referring to spiritual healing.

Is the office of Apostle still in existence in today's world? If not, why is there a movement to reestablish it?

I am confused and I was hoping you could please clairify. The Bible states that when one truely repents to the Lord and asks for forgiveness, your sins are then "cast into the sea of forgetfullness."

Comment: Please stop demonizing spiritualists; they don't demonize your faith and beliefs, so please stop doing it to them. It's judging others, lies and ignorance about others that causes conflict in the world, Christ knew that. Thanks xxxx

I will go almost all the way with you (on the Statement of Faith) but you lose me at #17. Salvation comes with baptism and not until then. Can you cite any examples that show otherwise?

Faith

What is God telling us (in the following verses), beyond the obvious? Both cities where these events took place were totally destroyed. Did God provide the detailed description of these people's sinful behavior so that we could conclude that EVERY city state in Canaan was guilty of this identical crime and MUST be totally destroyed?

What is the origin of the different races?

What changes have to happen in Israel before the Lord returns? Has this been made clear in the Scriptures, and if yes, is it happening?

I would like to know, what is a Bible Christian? My Great, Great, Great Grandparents were Bible Christians and I have no idea what you do. Thank you for your time.

Why did the New Testament have to come into existence…or what's the purpose of the New Testament? Did Jesus close heaven for 400 years between Malachi and Matthew?

How did the different languages come about?

Where does the Christian go at death?

What happens to your spouse and you after you die, are you still united in a marriage bond? I know when you confess your vows before Christ you state till death do us part.

What does I AM mean, and who is I AM?

The battle for Moses' dead body: "Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you!'" (Jude 9)

I was reading in Corinthians and now I am confused. Were there two disciples named Judas? They say he bought a field named blood field. I thought he hung himself and the money was at his feet? Please help me.

Is it wrong to say the Rosary?

How was Jesus in the tomb for three days, and how was the Sabbath drawing nigh at Jesus' burial?

I have heard that when we become believers in Christ that we are considered a Jew by our rebirth. I may not be saying this correctly, and I most certainly am not trying to be disrespectful, [but] is it a sin to be anti-Semitic?

Do just some people see demons and other people don't?

Why do Roman Catholics believe the Eucharist actually becomes the body and blood of Christ, and what should be our attitude towards the bread and grape juice used in Communion?

Who comes first, Jesus or Antichrist?

Is it true [that] in order to have the Holy Spirit in you, [you] have to speak in tongues?

I am a new Christian and I have been reading my Bible and anything I can get my hands on that is of [a] biblical nature. But, I am confused about the Sabbath. I am attending church now on Sunday, but my gut says the Sabbath is Saturday and that is the day that I should hold “Holy” and not Sunday.

According to Jesus who would teach His followers all they needed to know?

You should rethink your theory of a Satan, and demons running around, not to mention the notion that there is a hell !!! How can a God be all loving, all forgiving, all knowing, and create me full well knowing I will reject his beliefs, and then damn me to a fiery hell forever[?]

Was tithing instituted by the Mosaic Law?

My mother and I have been away from the church and God for 5 years now. A good friend says we should get baptized again. Is this necessary? And what exactly does baptism represent?

Why did God allow stoning to death or killing in the Old Testament?

Television pastors are claiming that Jesus after His death on the cross went to hell and had to fight Satan so that our sins would be forgiven. After that He was reborn. How do I use scripture to prove that this is not biblical? Also the name it, [and] claim it. I am having a hard time finding scriptures to show if there is truth in this teaching.

Thank you for this [article on Hell]. I've been trying to explain to a Jehovah's Witness guy at my school why there is a hell and this will really help. Thanks and God Bless!!

Is saying the same prayers everyday correct by the Roman Catholics? In Matthews 6:7 it says not to do that.

Who is God, not what did He do or is doing, but who is He?

I am trying to convince my cousin that Roman Catholics are wrong…he is asking where in [the] Bible is it written in the New Testament [that] we must not pray with a photo or idol of Jesus Christ.

Some people, [to] show their love towards Jesus, physically [hurt] themselves. Is [this] correct…or should we…only fast?

Who will be the Anti-Christ?

Can you find in the Bible where it states one should attend church? I have a friend that thinks you don't have to go to church to worship God; he feels that it is the house of hypocrites.

Is there a verse where it says that God threw the devil out of heaven and 1/3 of the angels with him?

In answer to who will be the Antichrist you responded, “The papacy, the anarchistic socialism [communism] and rationalism [humanism] some day will join and be headed by one man whom the Devil shall especially gift and in whom he shall dwell, and that man will be the Antichrist."

My question has to do with prayer. I believe that God knows all and that He knows what our lives will be like before we live them. If this is the case, where does prayer come in? Does it really change God's mind when we pray or is it just to bring us closer to Him? Also, when I give Him something in prayer (such as the salvation of a loved one) sometimes I feel like I don't trust God enough if I pray for it again and again. I know we are to pray without ceasing, but what about when we're told to give our troubles to Him and then not take them back? Is repetitive prayer against His will?

Do you have some literature for me to do some in home studying and some classes on-line?

Where does the Bible talk about the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

Is there any scriptures that support the idea of a Purgatory or any other place of similar function?

I believe Saturday is the Sabbath. I was told that Jesus is Lord over the Sabbath, and we don't as Christians take Saturday as the Jews do. Is this correct?

I have also had problems with another spiritual gift. The gift of prophecy. I have heard that since Christ's prophecy is further revealing of the current Word of God as in preaching. That there is no new future prophecy.

What is the meaning of life?

Why should Christians sing?

I would like clarification about when children die where they go, considering they have original sin. Also, how does God handle children dying when His word teaches that there are requirements and if you could provide scripture with it. I know it's a loaded question and its complex but please give it a shot, I'm struggling to figure it out. Thanks, -------
