The ten commandments is straightforward. Many of Jesus' commands are too. But much of it is very convoluted, as evidenced by the debates here on interpretations. Why did God make it this way?

He says you have as much to do with your spiritual birth as you do with your physical birth - nothing. He says you cannot cause yourself to be "born again". He says that neither Jesus nor Paul nor the disciples commanded anyone to do anything in order to be "born again". Is MacArthur correct?

This verse confuses me. It seems contrary that people who are "poor" in spirit will receive the kingdom of Heaven. My inclination is to believe that Heaven is for those who are strong in spirit and who obey Jesus. Can any of you make sense of it or link me to someone who can? Thanks in...

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Fascism stems from the same leftist, ideological tree that sprouted socialism and communism. There is nothing "right-wing" about fascism. In fact, fascism is and has always been a far-left ideology. Before WW2, many western leftists admired Benito Mussolini and his fascist system of...

I know that we're supposed to welcome foreigners into our lands. Does that include immigrants that, not only reject Christianity, but who might like to turn America into, for example, an Islamic caliphate? How about regular Christian Mexican immigrants? Yes, I know we're supposed to welcome...

Or do you believe that they go to different places depending upon various factors?

Let's say you're in Heaven and your child dies and appears before Jesus. Your child has always believed in Jesus but also engaged in a sinful lifestyle right up to the moment that they died. If Jesus were to say to you "It is your decision as to whether your child spends eternity in Heaven or...

I don't believe that to be the case and Mathew 12:31 seemingly confirms that God does NOT see all sin as being "equal". Mathew 12:31 And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Or am I misunderstanding. Thanks in advance. 7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8 Son though he was, he learned obedience...

Years ago Pope John Paul II visited a mosque and was gifted with a Koran, which the Pope kissed. Was he wrong to do so? Would Jesus have kissed that book?

I support freedom and personal choice. I do not want to live under a theocracy. Therefore, religious doctrine should NOT be used to regulate another's behavior, such as same-sex relations or marriage. I DO support laws that protect being victimized by another. For example, murder, assault...

For years media and academia have been lying by stating that Spencer was "right-wing" when, in fact, he's a left-wing socialist. Twitter

It seems the latter for some here based on their tone.

Over the years I have engaged many atheists online and, to my knowledge, failed to convert any of them. Have you had any success?

Is it because God is unable to accommodate any more than that? How did he arrive at 144,000 rather than 144,827 or 143, 822? Exactly 144,000? Seems weird to me.

Mine is John MacArthur. I really enjoy listening to him and he helps me to understand.
