Guns In The Bible

Published: December 6, 2015 (Originally published: December 7, 2015)
Q

In light of the recent shootings, is there anything in the Bible that speaks to a Christian protecting themselves with guns or other weapon? I got a concealed weapon permit and sometimes carry a gun because I am a female and I frequently walk alone in the woods. My initial justification is to protect myself against mountain lions, coyotes, etc., but I would probably use it to stop an aggressive human, too. There’s even been talk about bringing concealed guns into church services in our town. What does the Bible say?

Are Jesus And Yeshua The Same?

Published: November 29, 2015 (Originally published: December 5, 2015)
Q

I have a friend who came to know Jesus several years ago. Now after getting some information off the internet he will only call Jesus “Yeshua”. He tells me that “Jesus” is a false name with pagan origins and therefore Jesus and Yeshua are two different people. He claims that people who worship “Jesus” are worshiping a false Messiah and are deceived. While those worshiping Yashua worship the true Messiah of the Bible. What are the origins of “Jesus” so I can explain to him that Jesus is His name and Yeshua is the Jewish way to say it.

I have a question about a saved parent being the covering for the child as Paul said in 1 Cor. 7:14. Does this mean children who have at least one saved parent are saved?

Abraham’s Three Visitors

Published: November 29, 2015 (Originally published: December 6, 2015)
Q

I have question about Genesis 18 and the three angels that visited Abraham at Sodom and Gomorrah. One of them was the LORD (God). How is it that Abraham was able to look upon the face of God? My understanding is that no one can look upon the glory of God.

Were Jesus And John Cousins?

Published: November 29, 2015 (Originally published: December 6, 2015)
Q

While re-reading Luke a question popped up regarding the relationship between John the Baptist and Jesus. How could they be cousins if one was from Levi and the other Judah? Had marriage between tribes become a more normal occurrence? Or just an accepted practice in Judah after the split from Israel.

Faith To Be Saved

Published: December 6, 2015 (Originally published: December 9, 2015)
Q

I can’t seem to have faith that I am truly saved. Whenever something happens that I think I might die ( illness, near misses, etc.) I panic and become unsure if I’m really saved. I start asking myself if I did everything right in order to be saved because it is grace through faith and I seem to lack faith. Does this frequent doubting of my faith mean I’m not saved?

Am I Being Called?

Published: December 6, 2015 (Originally published: December 8, 2015)
Q

How do you know if you’re “being called” ? I understand that we are all called to be a light in the world and let the Holy Spirit shine through us as we go about our daily lives. However, there are those (like you for instance) who somehow come to a place in their lives where it’s obvious that the Lord wants them to minister to others in a more “official” capacity.

I have been struggling with this more and more lately, which makes me think, “Is the fact that I’m struggling, a sign that I’m being called”? I have not received a clear and undeniable “word from the Lord” that I am aware of… it’s more of a thought that just seems to hang around but never really leaves.
