"The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself” (Ezekiel 18:18-20). Clearly, the sins of the fathers shall not be imputed to their sons.
(1) If a son “shall not bear the guilt of the father,” then no one can “…
QUESTION: Should abortion be outlawed? - May 26, 2019
ANSWER: The Bible answers to 1. When does life begin? 2. Is abortion ever justified?
1. When does life begin? The Bible answer surely begins with a) David's inspired description of God's working in a birth (Psalm 139:13-16) Since, at the same time, God "forms the spirit of man within him" (Zechariah 12:1), at what point…
QUESTION: What skin color did Jesus have? - 5/9/2021
ANSWER: He had the "universal" human color!
1. God's Human family is ONE. (Genesis 1:26-27) The only physical distinction drawn was between "male and female". (Genesis 3:20) Since all mankind has come from the same woman, it stands to reason that all skin colors (or aviations thereof) are blended together. ... Read More of this …
QUESTION: Isn't it comforting to know my dead Mother is watching my children growing up? - October 20, 2019
ANSWER: It is a myth to believe that a person, after death, stays in touch with life on Earth. This myth contradicts what God says in the Bible.
1. Jesus clearly described the afterworld in Luke 16:27-31. Jesus clearly indicated that: (a) The rich man knew only what spiritu…
Jesus said: "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies” (Matthew 15:19). Only the Word of God can change the human heart. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intent…

QUESTION: Is it wrong to be afraid? - 3/14/2021
ANSWER: The wisdom of Proverbs cannot be surpassed: Proverbs 10:24-25; Proverbs 28:1; Proverbs 29:25. Wicked people have more reason to live in fear because they do not honor God's wisdom in their lives; they naturally assume others also live as they do. Therefore they cannot assume anyone else lives honourably. A guilty conscience makes one…
