A: [Now] that is indeed a good question! Jesus extended the message of, “Except your righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom,” over into the area of judging. The meaning of the verse is, “Judge not, and you shall not be judged.” People judge others for all sorts […]
A: As many sinful acts that there are, in the world, King Solomon (the writer of Proverbs) could have given us many other sins the Lord hates, but those seven give us enough of a complete picture of how God view evil. ‘Feet that are swift in running to mischief,’ is the fifth thing the […]
A: [Now] that’s a very good question! Jesus, through Old Testament scriptures and examples, revealed that God never intended man to take personal vengeance/matters into his own hands. He started His teaching of “the law and retaliation” by saying, “Ye have heard that it has been said,” again implying that the teaching of the Pharisees […]
A: The text that you are quoting, is taken from Jesus’ ‘Sermon On The Mount’ dissertation. At that juncture of His teaching, He was introducing His disciples to a new realm of thinking. He taught them not to get caught up in the everyday cares of this world, but to seek God and His wisdom, […]
A: Out of our desire to win souls to Christ, we’re hearing the Gospel ‘watered-down” to make Christ more appealing to the culture: we tell the lost, “Come to Christ, and He will solve ‘ALL’ your problems!” This statement isn’t found anywhere in sacred Scripture.

A: Without being lengthy in my explanation, what I am consistently making reference to, is the number of Christian messages saints are hearing weekly from some televangelists, on the various Church Networks, who are getting crowds of church people fired-up for a “move of God,” and in the midst, they are selling their wares – […]
Q: Last year, you showed us how to systematically study the Bible; what does it mean for Christian to correctly handle Bible verses? A: It has been said that, “Correctly handling Bible verses is the ‘building Block’ of understanding Scripture: we memorize verses, but we need to keep them in the content of the chapter.” […]
Q: Your statement, “Some Christians only want enough of God, to say, they’re saved,” received good reviews; can you explain it and biblical illiteracy? A: America was once a nation that was immersed in sacred Scripture. As a matter of fact – Christians were known as “People of one book”. Today, noted scholars in various […]
A:I can only give my opinion based on what I’ve observed from the local church viewpoint, as well as the ‘drama’ that played out on national TV, in the name of Christianity. Like most noted theologians and scholars, I too believe we have a biblical literacy problem in Christendom. Current statistics bear the facts out: […]
