Yes. I believe that it is possible that a Christian can commit suicide and still go to heaven. I believe this because there is only one unpardonable sin, and suicide is not it. Just because I’m a Christian do not mean that I’m not going to commit a sin. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God-Romans 3:23, Christians and unbelievers alike. Jesus came and died for our sins, those we have committed and those we will commit. Suicide is a sin. A tragic sin, but a sin nevertheless. According to John 10:28, Jesus said, “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand” Would you say that ment that I could not pluck myself out of the hands of Jesus by committing suicide?? See my point?? Hope this helps. The CurtMan |

2 | whats bad about Benny Hinn? | Bible general Archive 2 | TheCurtMan | 117282 | ||
The things that he believes in. Hank Hannagraff wrote a book called 'Christianity in Crisis', in this book he gives an insight on some of the doctrinal believe's of Hinn; Copeland; and a couple of others who preach the same doctrine. Hannagraff also has a website: www.equip.org. It's called the Christian Research Institute. They can really supply you with the info. that you're looking for. One of my favorite parts in Christianity in Crisis is how they believed that Adam was a superman. God gave Adam dominion over creation-Gen.1:26. By their beliefs, a man can not have dominion over anything unless he can do what they do. So Adam could swim like a fish, and fly like a bird. LITERALLY fly like a bird. They even went as far to say that Adam flew all over the universe. How's that for doctrinal beliefs?? The CurtMan |

3 | HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 87243 | ||
Luke's Genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3 is believed to be from Mary's side of the family. Both Joseph and Mary are decendants of David. The CurtMan |

4 | Does anyone have a good way to explain t | Bible general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 87594 | ||
Three in One. That's one possible explanation. You have the Father; the Son; and the Holy Ghost; three separate and distinct individuals within one God-Head. Something like the Smith family. You have Mr. Smith; Mrs. Smith and Jr. Smith. How many individuals are we talking about here?? How many families are there?? Three individuals and one family. The Oneness of God is a principle that is stipulated time and time again throughout the scriptures. Take the body as another example. We have many members to our body; fingers, toes, arms, legs, so forth and so on, but how many bodies do we have?? I Cor. 12:12, "For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, SO ALSO IS CHRIST." One of the most important things to know about the trinty, is that even though there is an order, even though the Son submitts to the will of the Father, please do not take this to imply that the Son is inferior to the Father. They are equal in nature and power. There are many who believes that just because Jesus submitts to the Father, He is inferior to the Father. Jesus is no more inferior to the Father, than a wife is inferior to the husband. What Jesus submitts to is the position of the Father, the same way the wife submitts to the poistion of the husband. Hope this helps. TheCurtMan |

5 | WHy four gospels not one? | NT general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 95410 | ||
Why four gospels?? "...Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses". II Cor. 13:1. "For there are three that testify: v.8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement" I John 5:7-8 The fact that confirmation of a thing normally needs to come through more than just one witness is a biblically principle that goes all the way back to the Old Testiment. Deut. 17:6 The CurtMan |

6 | How did Christ survive his beating? | NT general Archive 1 | TheCurtMan | 116310 | ||
If it was God's Will that any other mortal man was to take such a beating, and survive it for such a time. It would happen. I believe that God supplies us with what we need to accomplish His will. He supplied Samson with strength, Solomon with Wisdom and David with courage. If it was His will that you or I should suffer such a beating, somehow, we would survive it until God decided to bring us home. The CurtMan |

7 | What are a few characteristics of of God | Genesis | TheCurtMan | 98016 | ||
What are a few characteristics of of God in Genesis?? I like your question. Unfortunately I’m short on time so I’ll do the best that I can in the time allowed. The characteristics of God in Genesis. God is a Triune God. Gen. 1:26 He is a Provider. He provided for the physical needs of Adam. “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat”. Gen. 2:16. He provided a way of escape for Noah. Gen 6:13-22. He is a Protector. He protected Adam and Eve from the pain and suffering of living forever in Gen 3:22-24. This verse can also be used to show that God is a God of Mercy. Can you imagine how Adam and Eve would feel if they were still living today?? God is a Righteous Judge who condems sin. Gen.3:13-19 and Gen.6:13 Last but not least, God is a God of Love, which is why He is a Provider; a Protector; Merciful; and a Righteous Judge. I can actually go on with this one all day, but my time has expiried. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the purpose of this question?? The CurtMan |

8 | question # 1 | Gen 1:2 | TheCurtMan | 91697 | ||
Suppose I wanted to be difficult, and took the story of creation, Gen. 1:2 the words Void, and Darkness and said the color was black. Or v.6 the word Water, the color was blue, would you accept any of these answers?? I wouldn't, but I figured I'd try you anyway. The CurtMan |

9 | in GEN.1:26 who is GOD talking to? | Gen 1:26 | TheCurtMan | 97973 | ||
Who was God talking to?? Himself. The Godhead is made up of three separate but distinct individuals. God the Father: God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit. Go back to Genesis 1:1 and do a study on the word God. Then compare it to John 1:1 and Gen. 1:2, you’ll get the impression that there was more than a single individual present at creation. Gen. 1:26 is one of those verses that Christians use to show that the Godhead is triune. God in Three Persons. The CurtMan |

10 | Why did Eve orginally leave the garden? | Gen 3:1 | TheCurtMan | 93858 | ||
According to Genesis 2:9, there where two trees in the midst of the garden. The Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. The conversation that Eve had with the serpent most likely took place in the midst of the garden. In verse 6 of chp. 3 Eve took of the fruit and ate it. The reason that I believe that they were kicked out of the garden is because they started a sinful chain reaction that can be seen in today’s society. Had they remained in the garden, V.22 says that they might have also stretched out their hands and eaten from the Tree of Life. Which means that they might still be living today to see the magnitude of the damage they’ve caused. Being kicked out of the garden was a blessing to them rather they knew it or not. So what do you think?? The CurtMan |

11 | Is Satan Jesus' brother? Gen 3:15 | Gen 3:15 | TheCurtMan | 114438 | ||
Hello Tara 1, Please forgive me for butting into this, but I just happen to be skipping through when I noticed your questions. I'd like to take a stab at them if I may. Satan is not Jesus' brother. Gen. 3:15 is a reference between Jesus and satan, but nothing within this verse is relating them two as brothers. Elohim, which is one of God's many names, is also used for Idols-Exodus 34:17-"You shall make no molden gods for yourselves."(NKJV) It is used of Men-Psalms 82:6-I said, "You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High". It is also used of Angels-Psalms 8:5- For You have made him a little lower than the angels. (FYI: The word angels in this verse was translated from the Heb. word Elohim) Is Satan an Angel?? Yes, he started out as one of God's Mightest Angels high on the Chain-of-Command. He became fat headded, egotistical, prideful. Lost his position, I guess you could say he was 'terminated'. Took a third of the angels of heaven with him. Check out Isa. 12:9-15 and Rev. 12:7-17. And as far as Lucifer's orgin, check out Col. 1:15-18. Hope this helps TheCurtMan |

12 | Why was Cain's offering unacceptable? | Gen 4:3 | TheCurtMan | 93862 | ||
I’m under the impression that most fruits are grown in trees and not on the ground. When I read this, I get the impression that Cain picked up a piece of fruit off the ground and gave it to God. No consideration in his gift what so ever. Rather Cain picked up the fruit off the ground or not, I still believe that he wasn’t to considerate of his gift to God, I do not believe that his attitude was right. Where is the sacrifice in a piece of fruit?? Able on the other hand gave the firstfruit of his flock with the right attitude. Now THERE is a sacrifice that meets Godly Standards. I really do not think that the bible stipulates why God rejected Cains gift. Fact of the matter is He did. And the writer of Hebrews, how does he know?? “All scripture is given by inspiration of God…” II Tim. 3:16 The CurtMan |

13 | What is Mark of Cain? Where in the Bilbe | Gen 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 90449 | ||
The bible, to my knowledge does not specifically states what the mark of Cain is. However, there are some who believe that the Mark of Cain is the darkening of the skin, the widening of the nose and lips. None of this is verified through scripture. Mind if I ask how this question came about?? The CurtMan |

14 | Is piercing and tatooing the body wrong. | Lev 19:28 | TheCurtMan | 97964 | ||
Actually, I’m thinking of two verses. One: Leviticus 19:28 (KJV) Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord Two: I Corinthians 6:18 (KJV) What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? Now why would anyone want to mark up the Temple of the Holy Ghost unless they were unbelievers?? The CurtMan |

15 | Did Uzzah has given chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 93427 | ||
According to verse 8 of II Sam. 6, David felt the same way you did. Uzzah’s intentions may have been good, but his actions were bad. Actually it was a sin, an ungodly action. According Numbers 4:5-15, God had specific instruction about the moving of the Ark. It was suppose to have been done by the Levites, who were to carry it using the carrying poles. They were NEVER to touch the ark itself. To touch it was a capital offense under the Hebrew law, punishable by death. “When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp is to set out, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them, so that they will not TOUCH THE HOLY OBJECTS AND DIE…” Numbers 4:15 NASB. Now rather Uzzah was a Levite or not I’m not 100 percent sure, but personally I doubt it. According to verses 9-11 in II Sam. 6, Divid left the ark at the house of Obed-edom. But look at what David said when he went back to get the ark in II Chronicles 15:2, “No one is to carry the ark of God but the Levites…” Uzzah’s intentions may have been good, but the law was already in place before his mistake, and a costly mistake it was, but David learned a very valuable lesson from it; Do it God’s way or suffer the consequences. Hope this answer your question. Any others?? The CurtMan |

16 | Given the chance to repent | Num 4:15 | TheCurtMan | 93593 | ||
You're right, I did miss the question. Sorry. Was Uzzah given the chance to repent? No. It is obvious from the text that after his mistake, and before his death, there was no time for repentance. And like Aixen7z4, I also believe that there is no repentance after death. As far as your question regarding 1 John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness", not all sins bring forth immediate consequences-Jonah chp. 3 for example. |

17 | Comfort Zone? | Num 28:11 | TheCurtMan | 98839 | ||
What is a Comfort Zone?? In my book a Comfort Zone is a place where Christians get where they are comfortable with the way that things are. Where they worship; How they worship; Who they associate with. Getting them away from this can be difficult at best.. They are just use to the way that things are. For example: A church sister of mine has a fifteen year old son. They were going to be evicted. They were making plans of going into a shelter. There are many Brothers and Sisters in our congregation with big house and large basements. Those who had the room to spare didn’t offer to put the Sister up because it was too much of an inconvience to them. They like living by themselves, and didn’t want to deal with the inconvience of having someone else living there with them, and with a teenager too? Funny thing is; it was the people who really didn’t have the room to spare who offered shelter. So for them it was REALLY an inconvience. And by the way, if you’re being ridiculed, belittled, battered and raped because of your convictions, be thankful, maybe you are flexing your spiritual muscles, and exercising. Some Christians have gotten to the point where it is too much of a effort to be ridiculed, belittled, battered and raped for their convictions. They are nolonger fighting the good fight with all their might. The CurtMan |

18 | Can this be applied to todays war? | Deut 20:1 | TheCurtMan | 99682 | ||
Yeah, I believe it could be. Granted that this verse was for the Israelites, and they had certain rules of engagement that they were expected to follow when going to war. However, I believe that the concept of this is that we should always keep our focus on God no matter what the circumstances. Hebrews 13:5-6 (NKJV) ".....I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6. So we may boldly say: The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Because of this promise, Christians can be content in EVERY situation. Even if we are severely out numbered by our enemies. As a street brawler, my enemies' number was of great concern; But as a Christian, I no longer have that concern. Everyday I'm surrounded by non-believers who want to make an example out of me because of my position in Christ, this is my war and I no longer worry about it. Because of this promise I know that God is with the individual, and they have nothing to fear. However; rather God is with the entire army depends on where that entire army is with God. So can Deuteronomy 20:1 be applied to todays war?? In my opinion, ABSOLUTELY! The CurtMan |

19 | Can this be applied to todays war? | Deut 20:1 | TheCurtMan | 100169 | ||
Ras, It appears that I need to ask your forgiveness on a matter in reference to a question you posted on Deuteronomy 20:1. I still hold my viewpoint on the matter. My argument was never that the promise was not for the Israelites, my focus was more on what I believed was the reasoning of the promise; NEVER TAKE OUR FOCUS OFF OF GOD NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES, for He is ALWAYS with us. However; it appears that many disagree with me. The possibility exists that I could be wrong and might have misled you. For this, I ask your forgiveness. Misleading someone intentually or unintentually is nerver a good thing. It is better to resolve this with you now, than with God later. Just for the record, the overall viewpoint on the matter is as Seacher56 said. The CurtMan |

20 | What family planning method is good? | Ps 127:3 | TheCurtMan | 97857 | ||
Greetings Mobisa, Actually, I would say that none of the options that you presented are good. Psalms 127:3-5 (KJV) Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. 4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalms 139:13-14 (KJV) For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. I'm under the impression that abortion is an antibiblical, selfish solution to a situation that mothers today do not want to be bothered with for whatever reason. The CurtMan |
