Space:

May. 2006 Doesn't it say somewhere about do not look or even think about anything else in far space like other planets? You know, I’ve never heard that before. I don’t know of any verses that say that. That doesn’t mean it’s not there, I just don’t know of any. Maybe if there is someone out there reading these Comments, if you know of a verse, email me and let me know.

  Shell Fish:

May. 2006 Hi, my name is Ricky and I am very impressed with your easy way to read the bible in certain areas, your hard work paid off with just me looking through all of its links etc....... so thank you for that again! I do have one question, I think it may be in Leviticus.........do you know if and / or where it says that eating shell fish is an abomination or a sin? I seem to have seen the 2 analogies of them both being an abomination or a sin, on a TV show recently. Please IF you have time, could you please reply to my e-mail. Its not urgent, please only IF you have the time I would appreciate that! Thanks again and May God bless you!!!!!!!! Ricky Dear Ricky; Thank you for your words of encouragement. I‘m glad you find the website useful. I believe the passage you are looking for is, in fact, in Leviticus. Here it is: Lev 11:9-12 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. I feel it’s important to point out that the Levitical dietary laws were resended by God when he told Peter that all things were now clean for him to eat. Have a look at the following passage: Act 10:9-16 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. \This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. Now, someone could make the argument that God is not talking about food here, but He is talking about the inclusion of the Gentiles into the Christian faith. And that would be true. (see Act 10:26-28) But I believe that Jesus gave us the final answer on that controversy: Mark 7:14-23 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. OK, I hope these scriptures help answer your question. God Bless.

  God Created Satan:

May. 2006 1Tim.4.1 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;" Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: False doctrines of devils! can you really trust a God who creates something like satan? of course you couldn't! it isn't logical to try and worship a God who on the one hand says, "I am just" and on the other, "I make evil." These are just the unfortunate conclusions when reading what the Bible says without understanding what it means! It is staggering, you seem to be trying to promote the things of God yet you accuse Him of the worst possible crime. This must be a masterclass of deception! John Dear John; You accuse me of teaching false doctrine and deception. But the truth is that I'm just telling people what the Bible says. God has given us his Word and gone to the trouble to preserve it for thousands of years. He is quite capable of saying exactly what he means. He has told us in his Word that He created ALL things. Prov 16:4 The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Prov 26:10 The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. Isa 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things ; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Col 1:16-17 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. You say that I have drawn " unfortunate conclusions when reading what the Bible says without understanding what it means! " But when God says that He has created ALL things, I believe Him. In the following verse God is very clear about who created Satan: Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. If God didn't create Satan, who do you suppose did? I can trust God because He is all powerful, all knowing, and He will put all things under His feet. Are you suggesting that somehow Satan was created without God's knowledge or consent? That makes your god somewhat weak and feeble. The God I serve is all powerful, and all knowing. I'm sorry but I won't apologize for what the Word says.

  Divorce/Remarriage:

Apr. 2006 I have searched and finally found a web site that has explained lots of things to me. I have some questions now. I have been living with my boyfriend for 9 months now. We hit it off when we met in June. We stayed up for two days cramming everything we wanted to know about each other. He divorced in Oct.05 and myself I divorced in April2000. Now he was raised in a Christian family and he has told me he knows the bible says it is wrong to remarry. Until someone can show him and him have enough trust to believe it is okay he will not marry. I understand that the Bible says it isn't okay but I really love him and want to spend the rest of our lives together. We also have four children, My two are 4 and 2 his are 11 and 9. We don't want them to think it is okay to do what we are doing neither. We have told the kids we are married but we really don't think they believe us. I know lying to them is worse but I don't know what to do. I don't want my mate to feel rushed or pushed into anything. I want to know how can I still honor him and knowing he will never marry me but we will continue to live with each other, sleep in the same bed, and raise our children together. We have a big family together and I would like to keep it that way but one day I would like to marry him. What do I do? Where do I show him it is or isn't okay to marry me. Please help me and guide me the right direction. I have studied over and over the Bible and it is wrong to remarry but I want to know if it is possible and God will accept us and our forgiveness? Thank you very much for creating this web site. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks for your email. It seems you are in a difficult situation. You say that the Bible says it’s wrong to remarry and your boyfriend doesn’t want to do something against the Bible. I’m having a hard time believing that. It is true that the Bible says that if you divorce for any reason other than adultery, then you are in sin. But, to use that as a reason to live in fornication and to lie to your children is a horrible excuse. It seems that you want to live your life the way you want, but are trying to find a Biblical justification so that you can say “look, it’s OK:” If you are really concerned about what will honor God, you need to stop having sex with your boyfriend and ultimately, one of you needs to move out. Sex outside of marriage is called fornication and the Bible is full of verses that tell us that fornication is a sin (What Does the Bible Say About Sex). Additionally, you need to stop lying to your children. God says that lying is a sin Prov 19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish. So, from your email it’s clear that your life is full of sin. You have the sin of divorce, you have the sin of fornication, and you have the sin of lying. Worrying about whether or not it’s a sin to remarry seems sort of silly at this point. You need to be worrying about what God thinks of this sin in your life. You are not alone. The Bible says that everyone has sinned…..EVERYONE. Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Sin separates us from God, but the good news is that God knew that we would sin and he sent Jesus to pay the price of sin: Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us If we accept Jesus’ free gift of forgiveness, then we will be forgiven of our sins and we will be saved from the penalty of sin and have a restored relationship with God Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Once we come to understand the price that Jesus paid because of our sin, we no longer want to do things that are not pleasing to God. When we accept the free gift of salvation through Jesus, we change, we become new creatures, we are born again. Jesus said: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God John 3:3 When we are born again Christians, we should be focusing on what pleases God, not what pleases us. Right now it pleases you to live with a man as if you are man and wife but you are actually living in sin and that does not please God. I think you have to make a choice. Once you have dealt with the sin in your life and truly turned away from sin, then you and God can deal with the issue of whether or not it is right for you to marry this man. It could be that it is in the will of God for the two of you to be married, it could be that God has someone even better in store for you. But you will never know as long as you choose sin over God.

  Unhappy Marriage:

Apr. 2006 Hi. I have a question. I have been married for 5 years to my husband. My husband spends a lot of time at work and treats the youth that he has to be involved with better then his family. He treats me like dirt. He has never been physically abusive, but he somewhat verbal abusive. I love my husband, but I am tired of being treated bad. He has to deal with both teenage females and males and I feel in last place. I have told him this, but he of course blames everything on me. What is the Christian thing to do? We have 2 children ages 5 & 3 and I want a better life for them. Thanks for your help. Hello; Thanks for your question. I think that there are lots of ladies out there that feel the same way you do. Men don’t seem to understand the emotional needs that women have. It could be that your husband loves you very much but has just gotten lazy and forgotten how to show you that. As for your children, please understand that unless your husband is beating them, divorce will NOT lead to a better life for them. In fact just the opposite is true. Life will be much rougher for your children if you divorce. Additionally, you have no Biblical reason for a divorce. You don’t come right out and say it in your email but I get the impression that you and your husband are both Christians. That being the case, it is extremely important that you understand that it’s not your job to change your husband, no matter how desperately he needs changing. It’s not a question of whether or not he needs to change his behavior, it’s a question of what do YOU need to change. Since you can’t change him, the only alternative is to change YOU. I know that you are thinking that YOU are not the problem. And you are probably right, but that doesn’t help the situation. What I have found is that if you make changes, he will respond to that and the marriage will begin to change as a result. There are three major steps you need to take to bring about a change in yourself, your husband, and your marriage. Step #1 is pray. Step #2 is PRAY. Step #3 is PRAY. And step #4 is “repeat steps #1-3.” You can’t change your husband, but his Creator can. God knows your needs and the needs of your children. Take it before God and allow him to work in your husband’s life. As you pray for your husband, YOU will begin to change. It is very hard to hang onto the hurt and resentment you feel toward someone if you are earnestly praying for them. Phil 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Finally, I’d like to recommend a couple really good books that deal with this sort of thing. I’ve included links to Amazon. But you can order them through your local library if you can’t afford to buy them. The first one that I’d love for you to read is “Created to be His Help Meet” but Debi Pearl. It will really open your eyes if you think that being divorced from your husband will lead to a better life for your children. The second book is “The Power of a Praying Wife.” It’s important to understand that wives are not left powerless in a marriage. There is incredible power in the role of a wife, power to influence her husband and her children and her world.         All three of these books talk about the exact situation you find yourself in and they offer EXCELLENT Bilblical advice. I know that there is no quick fix to your situation and you probably often feel like quitting. Please remember to take your troubles to Jesus and allow him to give you comfort. I’ll pray for you and your marriage. Please pray for mine.

  Spiritual Leader in the Home:

Apr. 2006 Who does the Bible say should be the spiritual leader in a house hold, or does it say any thing on this? A friend of mine and I are having a discussion I think that the Man should take the role of the spiritual leader and he feels that it doesn't matter as long as some one is leading spiritually. Can you help? Hello and thanks for viewing the web site. I think the Bible is pretty clear that the husband is to be the spiritual leader of the home. Eph 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. I know that in the age of women’s liberation, that these are not very popular concepts. However, God is the author of creation and He is the author of marriage and He knows how a marriage works best. Therefore, I think we should following the instructions He’s given us in His Word, whether it’s the popular thing to do or not. I hope that helps to answer your questions.

  Woman Following Man:

Apr. 2006 Hi, Good Morning I am trying to find a scripture in the Bible that refers to the woman following the man. I’ve searched in Marriage; duty of a wife; duty of a husband and cant find such scripture. Could you point me in the direction? Thank you Jessica Dear Jessica; Thanks for your question. If you mean that the woman should follow the man literally, as in walking four steps behind him, there is no such scripture. But if you mean that the woman is to follow the husbands lead, then there are plenty. God has told us that the husband is to be the leader in the home and the woman is to submit to his leadership. Here are some verses that make that clear: Col 3:18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Eph 5:22-24 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 1 Pet 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; If you are submitting to your husband, you are definitely following his leadership. I hope that helps to answer your questions.

  Divorce & Remarriage:

Apr. 2006 Hi, I have a question. My wife had left me for another and I divorced her. Now I’ve fond another woman that has divorced her husband for the same reasons. Is it wrong for us to get married? This woman has also wanted to have sex with me, I keep telling her no. This gets her unset and she dose not talk to me for a wile. What dose the Bible say to do I can't seem to find it? Thanks Keith Dear Keith; Thanks for your question. I can’t find any biblical reason the two of you shouldn’t be married. Jesus said that divorce is forbidden except in the case where the husband or the wife has been unfaithful. Since both of you were in that situation, it seems that divorce would not be a sin and to remarry would not be a sin. Mat 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Mat 19:7-9 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. But you are right, it would be a sin for you to have sex before the two of you are married. 1 Cor 7:2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. I hope that helps to answer your questions.
