You also comment: If Lev. 27:30-33 & Deut. 14:22-29 describes the Biblical tithe being of livestock, grain, & produce why is the church taught that the tithe is money even though money was used in those days but wasn’t something tithed on …. Is there scriptural reference to tithing money in the Old or New […]
What is the difference between working for God versus serving God?
I don’t think there is any difference. 2 Cor 5:20-2 Cor 6:2 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (21) For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might […]
Are you accountable for your church’s doctrine?
You also ask: Is it true that if you’re in a church that doesn’t follow Christ’s doctrine correctly or step by step, the whole church & congregation is accountable? What’s the difference between the Church of Christ and all the other named churches? Baptist Church, Methodist Church, Seven Day Adventist Church, Christian Centers and Non-denominational […]
Can you reach a point where forgiveness is impossible?
When we have died repentance is no longer possible. Some people may reach that stage even before they have physically died. Judas Iscariot could not be forgiven, not because his was a more outrageous crime than anyone else’s, but because Judas believed that God could not forgive him, or even worse, did not want God […]
Why in Romans 5:12 does it say sin entered into the world through one man, when Eve was the first to sin?
In the account in Gen 2-3 both Adam and Eve sin by disobeying God and eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, Eve is not mentioned in Romans 5 (though Paul does mention her elsewhere, e.g. 1 Tim 2:14). This is presumably because Paul is drawing the contrast between Adam […]
Why should I become Christian? Can I not just believe in the things I believe in?
God has given us freewill. We can choose to obey him or choose to disobey. You can believe the things you wish to believe in – yes. This is your choice. There are however, very good reasons to believe in Jesus and do what he commands us. Some of these good reasons are: Living forever […]
Is everyone born for a purpose in God’s plan?
I don’t think everyone is born for a purpose in God’s plan. Many people do have a purpose in God’s plan and there are different purposes. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Proverbs 16:4 The LORD has […]
What are the names of the 200 angels that fell?
This is a reference to the a writing known as the book of Enoch. Its poor content, as reading it easily shows, is evidence against it being any sort of authority. The reference to it in the New Testament book of Jude is best understood as critical, not supportive. It is one of the Jewish […]
Why have there been no human fossils found amongst dinosaur fossils?
Dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, long before any humans existed. The reason why scientists who study dinosaurs reached this conclusion is radiometric dating of the rocks in which dinosaurs fossils are found. Geologists by the early 19th century had worked out that fossils appear in the geological record in a specific sequence; […]
Was there death in the world before Adam and Eve sinned?
There are millions of years of fossils showing that death was around long before Adam and Eve. In any case, it is impossible to have life without death. Anything eating plants would be causing the death of tiny animals necessary for plant life, not to mention the death of plants themselves. Then there are the […]
