Who knows? But in any case, its seems clear that it won't be an event that goes unnoticed. "Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger" (Isaiah 13:13). So I suspect God doesn't need our...

Yes, I'm pretty sure it will be televised... "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him" (Revelation 1:7)

Imo, nothing wrong with having a beer, but if you drink to get loaded, that's a sin. The bible condemns drunkenness: "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess" (Ephesians 5:18). But we know Jesus drank wine, and Paul said; "Use a little wine for thy stomach's sake" (1 Timothy 5:23). The key...

Don't need to say anything, my ticket was paid for in advance of my arrival.

You've completely mischaracterize God to fit your own opinion, which draws conclusions that aren't true. God does not sow seeds of doubt, we manage that all on our own. God is righteous and merciful, but we still don't love him. And who wants a mindless existence? A mindless existence is no more...

Parables help illustrate the meaning of God's word, making us understand the intent of the law and the heart of God. People can better relate to a story which demonstrates a purpose, a parable is just an example of the practical application of what is being said. E.g; A repented sinner who's...

I guess the name change symbolized God's intent for a person. He called Jacob Israel, Simon Peter, Saul Paul, compared the Baptist to Elias, called Herod a fox, Satan a serpent.

The Lake of Fire is not eternal punishment or suffering, its the second death of the body soul and spirit. Its only eternal in the sense that its forever, there's no coming back from it, its forever because its permanent. The agony and suffering is in knowing your fate, not eternal torture...

When the Pharisees accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath, Jesus defended himself against their accusation. (Luke 6)

Genesis 2:17 says; "thou shalt surely die", but the better Hebrew translation reads; "dying thou dost die". So it doesn't imply that they would drop dead the moment they ate the fruit.. "Dying" is a process, and in the day they consumed the forbidden fruit, it would ultimately bring about their...

I don't recall where that's written? But; "The labourer is worthy of his reward" (1 Timothy 5:18) "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." (1 Timothy 5:8). "We command and exhort by our LORD Jesus...

God never promised to pay my grocery bill.. He provides the means, but we must do the work.

I have to work.... because I gotta eat. Define this concept? No work, no eat

Cryptocurrencies are just alternative digital currencies, they are based and backed by nothing. The best thing about bitcoin is that governments can't tax or regulate those who buy and sale using bitcoin instead of government backed currencies.

Imo, No........... The Holy Spirit does not dwell with nonbelievers.. That said, I do think that everyone receives an unction from the Spirit, a calling. "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the...

Evil is the result of sin, and sin is succumbing to temptation. If someone tempts you to do something unrighteous, then I'd imagine the intent is to bring about evil. So indirectly, evil is the result of surrendering to temptation, but over-coming temptation is victory over sin, and thereby...

I don't believe there's any such thing as "unconditional" love... or anything else for that matter

Yes, God allowed it.. God was testing Job's faith, just as when he asked Abraham to sacrifice Issac. The point of Job's story is that faith was not just the result of blessings, but also superseded affliction. Just as the apostles held fast to their faith through trials and tribulation, Job kept...

The adversary was certainly Satan.. God allowed the evil, but Satan dished it out.

I don't think masterbation is grounds for divorce, nor is counseling necessary. Its not unusual for a person to lose sexual interest with their spouse, especially after 15 years of marriage, however, I can see how his lying and drinking could be problematic for you. I'm guessing he lies because...
