Why Should We Care about the Definition of Marriage?

-
 "Now, I’m not at all talking about politicking, putting our hope in government, or going all chicken-little about the moral failure of our country. God is sovereign, and our hope is in Christ alone. But I am talking about speaking God’s Word into the situations He places you in. It’s likely that as you seek to be a good steward of the Truth of God that has been entrusted to you, and a witness of it amongst your unbelieving friends, you’ll enter into the discussion of why the issue even matters to Christians anyway. Why do we care? What’s all the fuss about? I mean, why can’t we grant the same rights to two consenting adults who want to make a commitment to each other for life?" -Mike Riccardi

Are There Any Errors in the Bible?

-
By Norman L. Geisler The Bible cannot err, since it is God's Word, and God cannot err. This does not mean there are no difficulties in the Bible. But the difficulties are not due to God's perfect revelation, but to our imperfect understanding of it. The history of Bible criticism reveals that the Bible has no errors, but the critics do. Most problems fall into one of the following categories.   Check the rest out at: http://www.4truth.net/fourtruthpbbible.aspx?pageid=8589952771

Does Hell Exist, if so Why?

Questions and Objections About Hell 1. "A God of love would never send anybody to Hell." I find it very interesting that so many people are confident that God is so loving. Where does mankind get the idea that God loves the whole world, including sinners? –The Buddhist scriptures, the Tripitaka ? No. It's not taught there. –The Hindu Vedas ? No. No loving God there. –The Qur'an ? Nope. Allah loves everyone except sinners. The idea that God is a loving, merciful, forgiving God comes from the Bible. It is the Bible alone, amongst these books, that presents God as gracious, loving, merciful and forgiving of sinners. People get their idea that God is loving from the very same book that teaches us about Hell! The problem though is that people want to treat the Bible like a salad bar. “Oh yeah, I’ll have a little bit of that, a scoop of that. Oh, I don’t like that.

A Friend Who Turned His Back On God

 ❓ Question: I have a friend who turned his back on God after his third year in a conservative evangelical seminary. He was taught that God has already decided who will be saved and who will spend eternity in hell; who will have good things happen to him in life, and who will have bad. Can you help me to help him? ✅Answer: There is no doubt that God is sovereign and could have predestined some to heaven and some to hell. Or He could send us all to hell because that is what we deserve. The question is not God’s sovereignty, however, but His love. And that God wants all mankind to be saved and to be in heaven is clear: "For God so loved the world…that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:16-17). "The father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world (1 John 4:14). "The Lord is…not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). "Who will have all men to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth" (...
