Head Covering

Published: March 16, 2023
Q

In 1st Corinthians 11, it says that a man dishonors his head when he covers his head while praying but a woman should be covered. I know it’s talking about submission to authority and headship, but I was thinking of the Jewish people. When the Jewish men pray, they have a yamakah (sp?) on their head, or perhaps even a tallit, but the women don’t. What was Paul meaning when he wrote this passage – specifically, should women be wearing some covering when they pray?


Blessing The Boys

Q

My dearest friend and I were discussing Genesis 48:13-22 last night. What is the significance of Israel giving Ephraim the blessing instead of Manasseh? We know it displeased Joseph, but we wonder if it had anything to do with Jacob himself because of his deception with Isaac and Esau. We would like to know what you can glean from these scriptures.

I know we can’t add to God’s word, but sometimes what is left unsaid leaves us wanting more info. Maybe that’s God’s purpose?

Thank you again for this site. I have been so blessed from your gift.

Thanks again for your wonderful insight. You have helped many with their understanding of God’s Word. My question is: who are the human writers of the Bible and what books did they write?


Who Are The Overcomers?

Published: March 14, 2023
Q

I was wondering what the words “he who overcomes” mean when Jesus was addressing the churches in Revelation. What does it mean in the original language? Some say it is one who is born again. Or, does it mean whoever overcomes the problem Jesus is addressing to that particular church?

Who of us is an overcomer? I am really trying to listen to the Holy Spirit as He nudges me but most of all I hold tight to the righteousness given to me by the Lord by accepting Christ’s gift of salvation.


Words That Save

Published: March 14, 2023
Q

Is it right to ask Jesus to come into my heart or do I just confess Jesus as Lord and what He did on the cross? I was told it is wrong to ask Jesus to come into my heart, as a prayer of salvation and that it is not Biblical. Thank you


Pastors Under Attack

Published: March 14, 2023
Q

Where in the Bible can I find answers to why so many ministers today are going through so many trials and roadblocks as they try to preach the Gospel and lead their churches? Isn’t there a verse that talks about the trials and testing we go through the closer our walk is with Christ?


What Is Paradise?

Q

I have a question about the word “paradise.” I have read that it really means something different from “heaven.” Most people use the words interchangeably, so I’m wondering about the correct meaning. Also, is heaven then in three spheres? I have also read that but need some help comprehending it.

I have a friend who believes we have to follow the Torah to be saved. He says our Bibles are mistranslated and Christianity is a pagan religion. He says we are to follow the and observe the Law the way Christ did. Is he wrong or should I be following the Torah?
