QA: Did Eastern Religions Predate the Bible?

QUESTION: Eastern religions (e.g., Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism) predate the Holy Bible, right? - May 23, 2021

ANSWER: WRONG. The Holy Bible predates all religions, even though the writing of that story took place over much longer time. 

1. Nothing predates the Creation, except God. (Genesis 1:1;     Colossians 1:15-16; Romans 1:25) All idolatry in all religions have been attempts to make a visible Creator.

2. Bible events are passed along and changed to form traditions from misunderstood Scriptures, until God inspired men to write the exact details of those events. (Genesis 3-9)... From ... Eve ... came Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days and the concept of Pandora's Box. ... The Epic of Gilgamesh... was based on traditional ... rendering of the actual Flood.

QA: Can Scriptures Address Modern Problems?

QUESTION: Scriptures are too old to be relevant in today's world, with modern problems, right? - May 30, 2021   

ANSWER: WRONG. If you need to ask, you haven't read Scripture, OR years of my articles in particular.

1. The Cycle of Life proves that what God said is not outdated! Ecclesiastes 1:4, 9-11 reflects God's wisdom. What happens hasn't changed, only the speed and method. Mankind still has the same fleshly aspirations, but with accumulated knowledge of God's World to achieve them. 

2. Please read hundreds of articles I have written over the years to show Scripture after Scripture that apply to everyday events. ... Read More of this and other QA in Questions Answered.

QA: Why Is the Church So Judgmental?

QUESTION: Why is the church of Christ so judgmental, condemning everyone but themselves? - June 9, 2019   

ANSWER: How can you see through the fog & smog of judgmental sinners and think condemnation is only coming from Christians? 

1. It is NOT wrong to teach what is right. Moses taught Israelites that loving God means keeping His commandments and judgments.           (Deuteronomy 7:11-12Deuteronomy 11:1) In the Bible God has given His judgments about human behaviour. It is not judging to preach God's judgments, for we are not making that judgment ourselves (1 Corinthians 11:31-32). ...

2. Judging is wrong when we are harsher on others than we are on ourselves. (Luke 6:37Romans 2:1-2)...

QA: If the Bible is God's Word, Why Are There Atheists?

QUESTION: If the Bible is the word of God, why are there so many atheists? - 7/28/2019   

ANSWER: There are two kinds of atheists: practical and doctrinal.

1. Practical atheism is described in Titus 1:15-16. Many people practice atheism, that is, they live their lives as though there is no God. They think they exist because of godless evolution; or they are totally in charge of their lives because of humanism, which is human pride elevated over anyone else; or they think their lives are completely hidden in darkness from God's view! They are "without excuse," "futile in their thoughts," and have "foolish hearts"  (Romans 1:20-23), and thus live in sin (Romans 1:24-25). ... Read More of this in The Bible and Evolution.

QA: What Does the Bible Say About Jesus' Birth?

QUESTION: What does the Bible say about Jesus' birth? - December, 2018

ANSWER: There is a vast difference in what the Bible actually says, and what people have added as misrepresentations and human traditions! ... 1. God's son was born to a woman who did not believe in abortion. (Luke 1:35) ... 2. When Jesus' birth was first announced to shepherds (Luke 2:13-14) ... it did not mean there would be peace all over the earth. ... Read More of these and other QAs on my Questions Answered page.
