1	fact or literary device?	Gen 18:21	Piper	88069
	How could an all-knowing God say something like: "I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether [as vilely and wickedly] as is the cry of it which has come to Me; and if not, I will know. Is this fact. or some sort of literary device?
2	Why was Moses denied the promise land?	Num 20:1	Piper	99313
	Someone told me that after all his sufering and sacrifice for forty years, Moses was denied the promise land simply because, many years before, he stuck a rock to produce water rather than spoke to it as God commanded? Was that it?
3	Should my kids read Psalms?	Ps 41:10	Piper	75087
	Psalm 41:"But You, O Lord, be merciful and gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them". I'm fairly new to the Bible. I try to read a Psalm each day and would like my kids to read them because they model a relatioship and communication with God . But I really find it very frustrating when David CONSTANTLY goes on and on from Psalm to Psalm about all his enemies. What's going on here? Are ALL these people really that evil or is David including at least some of his personal/ political feelings in the Psalms. David had some major humans flaws...are those flaws wiped away in the words in Psalms. I'm really getting frustrated with my favorite book of the OT so Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
4	Joyfully accepting Jesus but not saved?	Matt 13:20	Piper	72968
	“The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;yet he has no firm root in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls away.” It certainly sounds like at a point in time they joyfully accepted Jesus? Have they lost their salvation or are they just unfruitful?
5	God's Mercy in China circa 70A,D.	Rom 1:20	Piper	73267
	Does Romans 1:20 mean that a China women (say in 70A.D.) who believed there was "a God" and was humble and loving because of that belief went to heaven or did she go to hell because she didn't know the name Jesus. (Or did she go someplace in-between?)
6	C harles Stanley abusing the Bible?	1 Tim 3:2	Piper	75790
	I think the President is making the tough decisions on Irag and I think Charles Stanley is one of the better TV evangelist. But in last Sunday's sermon Charles Stanley was using Bible verses to justify HIS opinions...ie... that war protesters are sinning against God and his commandments (Paul's honoring goverment etc). Is it right to use the Bible on such a sujective/political topic? Again, I personally think the President is doing the right thing but it is a very tough call and I wouldn't think of using the Bible against people who disagreed with me on such a topic.
