The following is a brief article on the topic of hell. I wrote it for a person who doesn’t have English as his first language. Question: Is there any place in the Bible that says that demons are guardians in hell? Answer: I know of none. Let us see what the Bible says […] I came across this the other day and needed a place to store and remember it. It’s a list of changes from the 1611 KJV to the (more popular) 1769 KJV. I don’t know if it’s exhaustive, but I did look up a few of them. KJVOs crack me up. ..except when they go overboard, […] I’m genuinely surprised at the number of Christians who do not know that the Bible is pretty restrictive about how to go about helping “widows and orphans”. Recently I’ve been told that as Christians, we’re to give without considering whom we give to or how we give – just give to anyone that asks you, […] The dominant end-times view of the Church in the West is that the rapture will take place at the beginning of the 7-year Great Tribulation. This view hasn’t always been the case. In fact, as Church history goes, it’s a pretty recent view, coming into prominence only in the mid 1800s. This view teaches that […] Every now and then I see someone read about the fruits of the Spirit in Gal 5:23-25 and pause at the singular use of the word “fruit”. Invariably, someone will say that the fruit of the Spirit is love, and that love expresses itself in all the other traits listed in Galatians. I think that’s […] 
Archeologist of all stripes – Biblical, secular and otherwise – affirm that the ancient city of Jericho has walls that did indeed come a-tumbling down. They even affirm that the walls tumbled outwards instead of inwards – not at all what you’d expect for a city under siege. You can see the 9-acre archaeological site […] Understanding God is paramount. Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who […] Is it ever right to do wrong to do right? Generally, the answer is no. But is it ever right to lie? Interestingly enough, the Bible shows us that the answer can be ‘yes’. Here’s a brief list of people in the Bible that lied or deceived other people and (apparently) received blessings from God […] Pro-gay people will frequently claim that Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. His silence, they insist, is supposed to mean that a) He has no problem with it, and b) everyone else should be silent about it. If you’re a self-interested speed-reader, you’ll find precious little in the Gospels about homosexuality. But so what? Jesus […] Some random thoughts on polygamy: I think Mark Twain said it best: “Of course the Bible is against polygamy – no man can serve two masters”. Personally, I don’t know why someone would want two mothers-in-law, but if we want to look specifically at what Scripture says, I think the issue is not quite as […] |
