How was Jesus able to hear people’s thoughts? (Luke 5:21-23)

Answered by . October 19, 2012 - 1:37 am

There are numerous examples in the Bible of people doing wonderful things, including knowing things that they could not know by themselves. For example, Ahijah knew the king’s wife, even though she was disguised and he was blind (1 Kings 14:6). Daniel knew what Nebuchadnezzar had dreamed, even without being told (Dan 2:30). Peter knew […]

Why did miracles happen in the Bible but not now?

Answered by . June 20, 2010 - 8:19 pm 4

Relatively speaking, the Bible records only very small portions of history, sometimes interspersed by hundreds of unrecorded years, and even in those records God isn’t performing miracles all the time. You’d expect the Bible to record a fair number of miracles, though, because it […]

What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

Answered by . April 4, 2010 - 5:07 pm

Blasphemy is showing disrespect for God. Under the Law of Moses, anyone who blasphemed was to be executed by stoning (Leviticus 24:16). “Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” is only mentioned in the gospels: Matthew 12:31-32. “Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not […]
