QUESTION: Eastern religions (e.g., Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism) predate the Holy Bible, right? - May 23, 2021
ANSWER: WRONG. The Holy Bible predates all religions, even though the writing of that story took place over much longer time.
1. Nothing predates the Creation, except God. (Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:15-16; Romans 1:25) All idolatry in all religions have been attempts to…

QUESTION: Scriptures are too old to be relevant in today's world, with modern problems, right? - May 30, 2021
ANSWER: WRONG. If you need to ask, you haven't read Scripture, OR years of my articles in particular.
1. The Cycle of Life proves that what God said is not outdated! Ecclesiastes 1:4, 9-11 reflects God's wisdom. What happens hasn't changed, only the speed and method. Mankind…

QUESTION: Why is the church of Christ so judgmental, condemning everyone but themselves? - June 9, 2019
ANSWER: How can you see through the fog & smog of judgmental sinners and think condemnation is only coming from Christians?
1. It is NOT wrong to teach what is right. Moses taught Israelites that loving God means keeping His commandments and judgments. (Deuteronom…
QUESTION: If the Bible is the word of God, why are there so many atheists? - 7/28/2019
ANSWER: There are two kinds of atheists: practical and doctrinal.
1. Practical atheism is described in Titus 1:15-16. Many people practice atheism, that is, they live their lives as though there is no God. They think they exist because of godless evolution; or they are totally in charge of their lives…

QUESTION: What does the Bible say about Jesus' birth? - December, 2018
ANSWER: There is a vast difference in what the Bible actually says, and what people have added as misrepresentations and human traditions! ... 1. God's son was born to a woman who did not believe in abortion. (Luke 1:35) ... 2. When Jesus' birth was first announced to shepherds (Luke 2:13-14) ... it did not mean there woul…
Reason for the Season PART 3:
On December 21, the Jupiter and Saturn regular 20-year conjunction will occur to observers, this time appearing closer than usual. The closest observable conjunction before that was in medieval 1226! The miraculous “Star of Bethlehem” led wise men, but had nothing to do with a “regular conjunction,” because Matthew 2 says:
(1) it moved to guide wise me…
Reason for the Season PART 2:
"Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us" (Luke 1:1)..."it seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilus, that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructe…

Reason for the Season PART 1:
"For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty" (2 Peter 1:16). Peter, James, and John had seen what took place on that Mount of Transfiguration that is recorded in Matthew 17:1-9; Mark 9:2-9; and Luke 9:28-36. It is important that we know:
…“And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, ‘Who do the crowds say that I am?’ So they answered and said, ‘John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again’ (Luke 9:18-19).” The opinion on the street was: (1) speculative; (2) divided; (3) wrong! Did Jesus say, “Each one has their …
After “the most important election in history,” what have the results really changed?
Not God: "For I am the LORD, I do not change” (Malachi 3:6). Not Jesus Christ: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).
Not The Holy Spirit’s Bible: “contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).
Not th…
QUESTION: How can we tell when God is speaking to us? - January 26, 2020
ANSWER: God only speaks today through His written Word, the Bible. (Hebrews 1:1-2; John 5:46-47) Just as Moses' words were written to be read, so Jesus' words have been written to be read. So Paul preached (Acts 13:26-27). The Bible is not called "the Word of God" for nothing! ... Read More of this and other QA on …
