Subject: Will you change your mind?

Bible Note: Radioman:
Seems you will have to determine for yourself which question is foolish and which one is legit. I hear Darcy saying you have to help them out. Foolish questions are to be avoided, and those who ignore answers only to repeat their question can be dealt with in wisdom. But we can assist those who simply do not express themselves clearly.

What do you say?

Q."Who do we know the bible is realy God's?"
A. How do we know the Bible is really God's word? Well, there are several ways ...

Q."? ? ?"
A. Is there something in the last post that amazed you? Is it when radioman said ...?

Q. "Russellville?"
A. Did someone say "Russellville"? I think he said, "A going in the tops of the mulberry trees". That was when ...

Q. "If we are to love our enemies than why are we taught to hate Satan?"
A. It is true that Satan is the enemy of our souls, but the command you mention has to do only with human enemies. We are to wrestle against spiritual enemies. See Ephesians 6.

Q. "Does God have free will?"
A. Yes and no. God is sovereign and can do whatever he wants. However he is also immutable and cannot act contrary to his nature. He is just and true and love and things like that, and he will never change.

Q."Was Abraham a Muslim?"
A. Muslims claim that Abraham belongs in their ancestry because he was the father of Ishmael. They even claim that it was Ishmael that Abraham offered as a sacrifice. The Bible says that Isaac was the one. The Jews are the descendants of Abraham after the flesh. More importantly, those who have faith in God are called the sons of Abraham. Abraham was not a Muslim, but Muslims can be converted and become the true children of Abraham. Just like you and me.

Q."Why does everything happen in thirds?"
A. It may seem that way, but God does not say that it has to be that way. Just take the Bible one passage at a time.

Q."If 'computer' stands for 666 than isn't wrong for us to use the computer?"
A. The Bible does talk about 666, but it has nothing to do with computers. please don't worry about using your PC to take part in this forum.

Q. "In the bible, where are Japanese?"
A. Are you Japanese? Rest assured the Bible talks about people from all nations. Read Rev 5:9 and 7:9. Only a few nationalities are talked about by name, mainly those in the Middle East aroung the state of Israel. There are no Grenadians, Mexicans, or Australians mentioned in the Bible. Maybe there are too many nations to mention by name. But Japanese will be in heaven because some of them also believe in Jesus. I hope you do.

Q. "Blue marbles roll faster than red ones(?)"
A. What do you say we ask questions about spiritual things.

Q."Are death and Hades destroyed or are they tormented forever?"
A. When you read of death and hell being cast into the lake of fire, it really refers to the people who had been held there.

Q."What if?"
A. Please tell us more.

Q."Where does the Bible say that the earth revolves?"
A. I do not think the Bible says that. It does say that God hangs the earth on nothing. When the Bible talks of scientific things it is accurate. But it is not a scientific textbook. There are some things it does not say.

Q."How do you know the earth spins on its axis?"
A. Are you the same person who asked about the earth revolving? It is good that you look to the Bible for answers, but the Bible really focuses on spiritual things such as how to get saved.

Q. "Why do we grow old?"
A. Some think it is because of sin, but it must be because we are in the realm of time. As time passes we accumulate years. Our bodies wear out with age and this may be because the earth has been cursed. In heaven, however, we will never grow old.

Q. "The Bible says that what is put to death is dead both in heaven and earth, so how did Jesus raise himself from the dead?"
A. Are you sure the Bible says that? Please provide chapter and verse so we can know what you are asking. The fact that Jesus died for our sins and rose again is very important. If you have questions about it please read 1 Corinthians 15.
