Isaiah 44:24 says God, alone, made everything. Please explain.
“Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, ‘I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself And spreading out the earth all alone,’” Isaiah 44:24 (NASB) When studying the Bible it is important to harmonize all the scriptures relating to a [...]
Do believers have a higher position than the angels in the kingdom of God?
It sounds as if you are asking, “will Christians have a higher position in heaven than angels?” The answer is - yes and we don’t know. There are two classes of Christians during the present period. They are represented as wise virgins and foolish virgins in that same parable (Matthew 25:1-13). The wise virgins are [...]
In 1 Samuel 16:14, why did the Lord send an evil spirit to trouble Saul? If God is good, why is there evil in Him?
There is no evil in God. 1 John 1:5, “God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” Additionally, “God is love,” and “God…cannot lie” (1 John 4:16, Titus 1:2).1 Samuel 16:14 reads, “But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.”The word [...]

Why is the Bible the holy, inspired word of God? Why not others books? 2 Timothy 3:16 says all scripture is inspired by God. What does it mean by "all"? Why include Revelation when it was written after 2 Timothy? Who decided to name certain books as the Old Testament and the New Testaments?
In 2 Timothy 3:16, “all scripture is inspired by God,” the verb “is” does not appear in the text but is understood (as is common in the case of the verb “to be” in classical languages). Hence this scripture should properly be read as “all scripture inspired by God is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, [...]
Does God have a physical form, or is it unseen divine energy filled with intelligence which created all?
We do not know what the body of any spirit or heavenly being is like. Jesus taught that spirit beings were like the wind. He said to Nicodemus, “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so [...]
