When or how do you become a guardian angel?

Answered by . 2

Angels are mentioned many times in both the Old and New Testaments (296 times according to my computer search). They are an important way that God achieves his purposes.

If the law of Moses is truth, the way, life, the light, the path, perfect and liberty why is it considered bondage, fulfilled, old, a yoke, impossible to keep and irrelevant for today?

Answered by . 2

It is true that the law of Moses is truth because it was a law given for a time from God – Psalm 86:11: Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. It was also the way the people of Israel (pre-Christ) were […]

Answered by . 1

The Bible doesn’t say that a child was conceived. The account in 2 Samuel 13 doesn’t seem to miss any details of this terrible incident, so it probably would have also mentioned if Tamar had become pregnant. However, it’s silent about it, which probably means that a child wasn’t conceived.

How can I use Leviticus18:24-25 to show why God allowed warfare?

Answered by .

Leviticus 18:24-25 can’t really be used to explain why God allowed warfare. Leviticus was written while the Children of Israel were in the wilderness, after coming out of Egypt — i.e., they hadn’t got to the Promised Land, the land of Canaan, yet and so they hadn’t fought any wars there yet. And Leviticus 18:24-25 […]
