1 | Why was Moses denied the promise land? | Num 20:1 | Piper | 99324 | ||
Objevtively speaking, isn't God being a tad harsh (on a technicality?) with Moses, considering Moses faithfulness for 40 years. How do I reconcile this act of God with a loving/merciful( or even a Just) GOD to someone exploring Christianity who is looking for reasonable answers that make sense (i.e. not doctrine alone). |

2 | Why was Moses denied the promise land? | Not Specified | Piper | 99302 | ||
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? |

4 | 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? |

5 | Active Homosexuals: Truly Christian? | Rom 1:21 | Piper | 87114 | ||
I guess the Homosexual has the same odds as a Rich man... that of a camel going thru...(isn't that inthe scripture some place?) Mr. Hank, If you own a computer...are you not rich man indeed. Gotta a feeling if God has enough grace for all us RICH Christians...he might let a few crumbs fall of the the table for our loving Gay Brothers ....but for the grace of God |

6 | dictatorship superior to democracy? | Dan 2:37 | Piper | 82516 | ||
Oh, I'll make a note of it. I thought faith in Jesus's perfect sacrifice was first, then walking in the sprit, then repenting, then baptism. Thank God for erasers Am I missing anything? |
||||||
7 | dictatorship superior to democracy? | Dan 2:37 | Piper | 82515 | ||
Ed I thinking you're taking the Gospel of prosperity and applying it to countries. Doesn't the world system belong to the devil? So, those who succeed by the standards of the the "world", whether it be a person, a country or a football team, are not necessarily Godly. Right? |
||||||
8 | dictatorship superior to democracy? | Dan 2:37 | Piper | 82513 | ||
Pastor GLenn It's odd you're quoting all O.T. verses. Is repentence the 3rd or 4th thing you have to do to be saved. Does it come before or after baptism? I want to make sure I get it perfect. That's what counts. |

9 | dictatorship superior to democracy? | Dan 2:37 | Piper | 82470 | ||
""""""However most Democracies give into dictatorships when social morals drop so low that crime and anarchy reign"""""" Ed B and Pastor Glenn What are some examples? Wasn't Greecebecause of constant warring city states...no unity. Romans actually had stong character when Augustus Ceasar ended anything resembling democracy. Even consider modern goverments: Germany was because of Versailles treaty resentments ? Were you thinking of some South American countries? They do have a lot of coups |

10 | dictatorship superior to democracy? | Dan 2:37 | Piper | 82377 | ||
Hank: Sounds like a return to the "good old days": the 1950's Bible belt where segregation, exclusion, censorsorship, regimented prayer...and most of all...hypocrisy, was king. Sure, there's less "law" now, perhaps more sinners... but that's the price of freedom:freewill. Go to Iran, not many overt sinners there, and all the public prayer you can swallow. Frankly, I'll take 2003 sinners over 1953's Pharisees any day. My sense is Jesus would too. PS: can't recall, but wasn't Christianity the required state religion during the last centuries of the Roman Empire? |

11 | Are habitual sinners still Christians? | Rom 1:26 | Piper | 82115 | ||
I agreed with your answer God will prevail he is faithful. We certainly aren't...thus,grace Common sense observation of life and veteran Christians indicates that many times, it takes years and years before habitual sins are conquered...if we die in the meantime are we doomed? It will probably take me a few more years before I can truly forgive an abusive parent? AM I doomed in the interim? Just like my unforgiveness it can take a homosexual years to curb his actions. I don't see any diffence in my habitual sin vs. the homosexuals. In fact, I think there's more than one verse indicating unforgiveness actually being a graver sin. |
||||||
12 | Are habitual sinners still Christians? | Rom 1:26 | Piper | 81981 | ||
What's it take to break habiual sin, say a sin of alcohlism or a habitual sin of pride, or sins of unforgiveness. How many years ??? 2, 5, 10 years? Most times,God works slowly: very very slowly...somehow, I think you're a Christian in the meantime.... even when you still have all those sin habits. Why would it be different for homosexuals???? Are they suppose to be instantly sanctified (it's a miracle!) from their habitual sin. No verses: just common sense | ||||||
13 | C harles Stanley abusing the Bible? | Not Specified | Piper | 75778 | ||
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. |

15 | Should my kids read Psalms? | Ps 41:10 | Piper | 75094 | ||
Thanks Searcher, but your answer REALLY does not address my question. | ||||||
16 | 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. |

17 | To whom do we belong? | Bible general Archive 1 | Piper | 73751 | ||
Is it lonely when the Holy Sprit reveals to you alone and all others are decieved? It must be your humbleness |

18 | 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?) | ||||||
19 | Joyfully accepting Jesus but not saved? | Matt 13:20 | Piper | 73188 | ||
What if that person arrested was Peter. Arrested on the night Jesus was to died for him. Peter whose faith buckled when he was intimidated by a "girl" . Peter the Rock. Would he have been convicted? | ||||||
20 | Joyfully accepting Jesus but not saved? | Matt 13:20 | Piper | 73135 | ||
I don't understand (at all). I thought the whole point was to have people to make a desision to accept Christ as their savoir. To accept Christ in their lives. If I have heard a thousand sermons....that was the central point of 990 of them...without qualifiers. Did all these preachers misinterpet the bible? Would the Holy Sprit fail to lead that many men of God . Or did I just hear what I wanted to hear??? | ||||||
