The Bible does not clearly spell out that procrastination is a sin. However, James 4: If your conscience convicts you, then it is a sin. In any case, it is not wise to procrastinate, Proverbs 12: When it comes to accepting Jesus, it is a really bad idea to delay the decision, James 4:

The "age of accountability" concept is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible. Some think that there is a precise age at which a person becomes morally responsible before God. Is the age of accountability a set age? No, there isn't a precise age number for everyone. Is it based on the...

The young Daniel was exiled to Babylon. He was chosen to be trained to work in the court. Daniel 1: What's wrong with the king's food and drink? The Babylonian food could contain unclean meats like pork. The animals were not properly killed according to Levitical law (Leviticus 17:14, 15)...

Jesus prepared fish and bread for the disciples in John 21: Do you love me more than these fish that you have just eaten? Simon Peter did not think that Jesus was talking about the fish. That would have been an insulting question to Peter. Do you love me more than these other disciples who...

In this OP, I assume John was inspired to write in Greek. G25-agape-love was often used as the noble and high kind of love, particularly in the NT. G5368-phileo was, more specifically, a brotherly kind of love. After the resurrection, Jesus prepared a breakfast of fish on a shore for his...

2 Kings 5 Elisha allowed Naaman to bow before the idol Rimmon. On the other hand, Zephaniah 1 How do we reconcile 2 Kings 5:19 and Zephaniah 1:5? Elisha was gracious and merciful to Naaman, a Gentile. He could have thrown the book at him and quoted the 2nd commandment, Exodus 20: Was God...

Loosely speaking, yes. Some people think the KJV is the word of God, but God did not speak to Abraham in English. Technically, I consider the Bible a translation of a recording of the word of God. One problem is that there is no universal definition of the Bible. The Protestant Bible has 66...

How? Let's see the context. Jesus starts the sermon on the mount in Matthew 5 and ends it with: The context is universal love. The Father bestows his universal love on the unrighteous. perfect Strong's 5046: From telos; complete; neuter completeness. Be complete in your love. Love those who...

Forty men vowed to kill Paul in Acts 23: Gill explained: These are the questions of interest. There were learned Jews who were empowered to release them of their vow and they could do so in different ways. No problem. Sorry, I didn't know at the time that my vow would extend into the...

2 Samuel 21: 1 Chronicles 11: What was so intimidating about a spear like a weaver's beam? Let's check a parallel account in (Brenton Septuagint Translation) 2 Samuel 23: It was thick. More details at David vs Goliath in 1 Samuel 17: It was threatening indeed.

Initially, Saul was a hero. He was humble. God chose him to be the first king of God's people, 1 Samuel 10: Saul was cool. Not many can contain such huge news from God. He was decisive and courageous in his first military engagement (1 Samuel 11). He showed incredible leadership, fit to be the...

NASB 1977, Psalm 69: How did Jesus fulfill the above? It is a bit puzzling/tricky. At the beginning of the crucifixion, Mark 15: Matthew offered a bit more detail, 27: It was a mixed or drugged wine to numb the senses. Jesus detected the gall/myrrh and refused it so that he could keep...
