To answer your first question: Do God, Satan and angels have souls? Yes, they have souls as do all animals (Job. 12:10). The soul being the essence of what makes you, you—your memories, thoughts—like information on a disc, but in another sense, they are [...]
"I and My Father Are One." Jhn 10:30 KJV - I and [my] Father are one. Our Lord's own explanation and illustration of the manner in which he and the Father are one is very generally overlooked. He said in prayer to the [...]
A believer or a true Christian is one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God, and that he fulfilled the Scriptures and the requirements of God’s law when he came and died for mankind. John 20:31 “but these are written so that [...]
Jesus gave a clear explanation of what qualifies one to become a Christian in Matthew 16:24, "Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." What does this [...]
My first response to your question is that I would pray, asking God to make things clear to me regarding His will in the matter. And then, I would watch the surrounding circumstances to see how God is overruling. The apostle Paul gave instructions [...]
God does, indeed, know us, “He knows the secrets of the heart.” Psalm 44:21. God also says He declares “the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done…” Isaiah 46:10 Yet, we still have a free will. God’s living [...]
In Psalm 119:124 it says "deal with your servant according to your 'love'" but in previous verse it talks about "preserve my life according to your word" vs 37 "do good according to your word" vs 65. Also in verse 107. Why is it [...]
There are many difficulties in life. Sometimes people accumulate debt; sometimes people steal; sometimes people cannot manage to care for themselves. In Israel, a person could become an indentured slave for all of these reasons. The period of servitude could be for seven years [...]
God's glory is described in several places in the Bible, but this manifestation can appear like a cloud or fire. Exodus 24:15-18 reads, "And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. And the glory of the LORD abode upon [...]
The Bible doesn't state it is an evil tree. God said in Genesis 2:17,"But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it…" Its name indicates that eating its fruit would in some way open the eater's eyes [...]
Anxiety and depression have many causes. None of our bodies are perfectly healthy. Imbalances in our physiology can cause us to suffer emotional disturbances. Is poor emotional health due to the devil? Not necessarily. The Apostle Paul experienced anxiety and depression, "For we do not [...]
Respecting God, Psalm 90:2 declares, “from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” Hence, God has no beginning and no end. God is eternal and God is a spirit (John 4:24.) God’s angels are also spirits (Hebrews 1:7). We are assured in Genesis 16:13 that God [...]
Even though all kinds of sinful thoughts may pass through our brains, it is our Christian duty not to entertain them because sinful thoughts soon become sinful deeds. When you recognize a sinful thought against God, you must immediately ask for His forgiveness and [...]
We believe that one reason for the “disconnect” you spoke of may be the element of sacrifice that “works” involves. It is far easier to believe that faith alone is all that is needed in order to enter heaven. Although faith in Jesus’ incredible sacrifice [...]
Total submission to God requires sacrificing your self-will in every matter of life in order to do the will of God. When you surrender your will to God, you make a covenant of sacrifice. You sincerely endeavor to live a life that is pleasing to [...]
The idea that God initiated war in the Old Testament, especially with all its gore and sometimes even the slaughter of innocent women and children is a difficult concept for Christians to grasp. After all, Jesus taught us that God is love and that [...]
God created man in his “image” (Genesis 1:26-27), which means that man has the ability to reason and to make choices. God could have made man a robot to always do what is right, but then he would not be in God’s “image.” God could [...]
“By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because he rested from all the work of creating that [...]
God uses various instrumentalities for communicating His instructions. Thus the Lord Jesus Himself is called the Father's "Word"--the Message, the Logos (John 1:1; Revelation 19:13). St. Paul speaks of him saying, "God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in times past unto [...]
Some have thought this to be a scriptural expression, but it is not to be found in the Bible. It is believed to have originated in the heathen mythologies of the Hindoos in ancient India. Webster defines the term "triune" as three in one--"an [...]
