1 | Is the bible literal? | Not Specified | journey_me | 92842 | ||
Is the bible literal? What does that mean? Do we really believe that the words used from the past or completely transcended of time? | ||||||
2 | Literal or Not? | Not Specified | journey_me | 92862 | ||
Is the bible literal in regards to history and creation? Timothy 3:16 depicts the bible as being a source for living or a guide. It doesn't directly or indirectly apply that the bible is literal. With that being said, how do we distibguish metaphors, parables, and symbols? None of these ideas take away from Timothy 3:16. When discusiing creation you are lead to believe that the bible is literal? Where is the proof that the Genesis creation story should be read as such? |

3 | The Gift of Tongues | Not Specified | journey_me | 92885 | ||
Can every Christian or any Christian speak tongues? I went to church with a friend and the preacher asked everyone to speak in tongues and the majority of the people broke out in "tongue"? I was taught that the gift of tongues was a spiritual gift and that not all people possess all gifts. |

4 | Homesexuality? Wrong? | Not Specified | journey_me | 92980 | ||
Here I go again. Where can I find specifics dealing with homosexuality? Does the bible explicitly say homosexuality is wrong or does it implicitly say so? How can the episcopalian church elect an openly gay person as bishop, especially if he is actively gay? Or is simply not prcticing homosexuality? Is homesexuality not apart of the doctorine they teach? Please help. I am an advocate and I love to debate. Sometimes I get stuk because I can't find certain things. I need some textual evidence for this one. I remember reading something in Romans, but I can't find it. |

6 | Women Preachers? Yes or No? | Not Specified | journey_me | 93504 | ||
The other day a lady wrote a question regarding the role of women in church. On tv the news compared the election of an openly-gay bishop to a similar scandal involving the appointment of the first female bishop. I was wondering why would a woamn bishop bring about a threat of separation between the episcopalan and anglican church. Then I cam accross 1 Cor 14:34-35 [34]Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law [35] And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. Saith what law? Is this strictly for those who are under the law? Are women under Grace permitted to speak in church? Can somone explain this to me? Are women allowed to be leaders in church or not? The scriptures clearly say no. Why are women required to be silent and seek knowledge from their husbands? I am not trying to be sexist, I am trying to understand how we can justify having women preachers, bishops, and etc if it is against the scriptures. |

10 | Are our values cultural or biblical? | Not Specified | journey_me | 141834 | ||
If people look for evil they can find evil. Why are there people attacking Harry Potter and reading evil into its words? Isn't the fantastical and fiction simply that? I know I am sparking a debate, but I need intellectual and biblical analysis of reading fiction that contains elements of idolatry, witchcraft, murder, theft, and any other sin. Why is it okay for us to teach children to believe in Santa Claus? Or better yet why do we consider Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Cinderella, and The Wizard of Oz, acceptable for Christian children? Are values based on what is culturally acceptable.? | ||||||
11 | Premarital Sex: Social Ethics or Sin? | Not Specified | journey_me | 146641 | ||
I have always been told that premarital sex is a sin. I have also been taught that fornication is a sin as well. I know the bible speaks of sexual imorality and list the various ones, but I never got a sense that they were talking about premarital sex, it seems to me that they were talking about lasciviousness, or multiple sex partners. I know Paul calls for us to abstain from sex and if we choose to engage in sex, that we should marry, but where does it say that premarital sex is wrong (Corinthians 7)? I also know that the bible speaks highly of virginity, is the opposite of virginity whoredom? Is there not an in between. Is sex before marriage something that derived from social ethics, or am I just not looking in the right place for my answer. | ||||||
12 | Is sex marriage? Premarital Sex: Sin? | Not Specified | journey_me | 146653 | ||
I have to re-post this question because it was not answered, I thank you for the scriptures you provided, however, you provided scripture that sparked my question in the first place. Sexual Immorality is a braod term. Where in the bible does it make reference to premarital sex as immoral or loss of virginity as immoral? Is sexual immorality something we define according to social ethics or is the bible clear on premarital sex. Please no quick fix answer, I'm looking for more than just the surface. I am trying to pinpoint where the idea of no sex before marriage came from. I also think the answer may be that sex is marriage, and multiple partners is adulterous. I need some scriptires and some biblical philosophy on this point. If you do not feel like going into detail on your stance, please leave question posted for someone else to answer:) Thanks Here is the original question: I have always been told that premarital sex is a sin. I have also been taught that fornication is a sin as well. I know the bible speaks of sexual imorality and list the various ones, but I never got a sense that they were talking about premarital sex, it seems to me that they were talking about lasciviousness, or multiple sex partners. I know Paul calls for us to abstain from sex and if we choose to engage in sex, that we should marry, but where does it say that premarital sex is wrong (Corinthians 7)?

13 | Law v Faith. Are Jews Condemened? | Not Specified | journey_me | 146657 | ||
BradK help me to create a question. What covenant did God have with Abraham and was that covenant fulfilled through Jesus? Does that mean that those Jews who died before Christ will not be resurrected, or will not enter the kingdom of heaven? Or are those Jews saved because of God's Covenant? Does that mean that those Jews who still practice the law after Christ is condemned? | ||||||
14 | Galatians 3, Why did God create the law? | Not Specified | journey_me | 146735 | ||
I don't understand why God created the Law, if it was a curse? Galatians 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” Does that mean God set people up to fail? Galatains 3;21-22 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. If Jesus was the only person who entered heaven through the law, why was the law created? How then could anyone be righteous? I do not understand this chapter and it doesn't seem to make since. I keep going in circles. Please do not right the answer is clear. Positive people only. |

15 | Is santanism real? Spiritual World? | Not Specified | journey_me | 153256 | ||
My mother-n-law says that we have to be careful in not knowing about the spiritual world. She says withcraft and santanism is out there, whether or not we give power to it. Raising of the dead, and calling the spirits are all mention in the bible. I always believed that God is the only power and that if you believe those things exist that you were giving power to them. She says if you are not aware of them, you could be opening your house to those bad spirits. Where in the bible does it talk about these spirits. I have read the new testaments, and I know Jesus talk to the legion of demons, but are they really spirits. When the bibe talks about demons and devils, I always thought they were talking about people and sins, not some spirit. Just because someone practice witchcraft doesn't make it real, right? Any book suggestions. Where in the bible is Lucifer cast out of heaven? Are the link of angels? What does that mean? |

17 | Dr. Rebecca Brown? | Not Specified | journey_me | 153294 | ||
Anyone here heard of Dr. Rebecca Brown, she has written a series of books on santanism and the Christian believer. Do you think this book is trash or important. My mother-in-law wants me to read it because she thinks satnism is real and we must know what's out there so that we can be equipped to battle. Any thoughts? | ||||||
18 | Pregnant Belly Immoral? | Not Specified | journey_me | 176417 | ||
My mother-n-law says that taking pics of your pregnant belly is wrong. She askd me, "What would God say, if he saw my belly." Is there any biblical references to the way a pregnant woman should dress. Or any moral opinion? | ||||||
19 | Homosexual are picked on in the church? | Not Specified | journey_me | 177298 | ||
I was researching homosexuality on this website, and everyone seems to point to 1 Cor 6:9, as proof that homosexuality is wrong. The problem that I have is that this verse names every sin, and every human being falls under one of those categories, so why do people ignore the rest of the verse, and pick on homosexuals. Every human being is either an idolater, adulterer, covetous, swindler, immoral, or a fornicator in some way are another. Why are all these people allowed to be Christians, but homosexuals are not. Every human being is a sinner and being a homosexual is no different from being a fornicator, God said sexual immorality is wrong. Why are ministers allowed to hold positions in the church when they are not married, we know they having sex. Why are pregnant women who are not married allowed right and benefits when we know they are fornicators. Can someone please show me or advised me, where the bible singles out homosexuality as the only damning sin. For the record I am not gay, I'm married with 2 children, but I was reading some of the comments and I was outraged. My brother-in-law is gay and his brother won't talk to him because the bible says it's wrong, however he is not married and lost his virginity at 14. |

20 | Rape or Homosexuality? | Not Specified | journey_me | 177326 | ||
While also doing research on this website, I came across the word asenokoites. Which is the greek word for abusers of themselves with mankind, loosely translated as homosexuality by some. There is difference between homosexuality and rape. I believe people often point to Sodom and Gemorrah as examples, of God's disapproval of homosexuality, but in the case of Sodom, the men were literally raping other men. Paul is very specific in Romans about unatural sex (homosexuality), but in Sodom and Gemorrah aren't we talking about something very different. |
