Meditating on Scripture Q: How does someone meditate on a verse? I'm lost on what that means and what to do. Pls Explain how this looks exactly? Thx 😊 A: Great question!  So when meditating on God's Word, I will read the verse over and over again. While paying more attention to that certain verse, the context also matters. Read those verses, and Think about it. Look up the words and the meanings; do word mapping. Go into what the words in the verse [and surrounding verses for context] mean. Including the Greek or Hebrew words. Memorizing it. I'll write it on a sticky note to help &/or I'll write it in my journal. Its kind of like going deeper than just reading over it and on to the next one. Sometimes I'll take it into prayer as well. For instance, "be still and know that I am God." I went into prayer on that verse alone and just sat there with that on my mind. And just talking with the Lord. It was probably the most peaceful prayer time with God tha...

If you recall from the main faq page the Koran states you are to believe the Bible. So what it says is to be believed over and above what Islam teaches, which came 600 years after the Holy Scriptures; The Bible. God's Word. Keeping in mind that God's Word is good.  It is vital to have a true and clear understanding of who God is, and it prevents you from embracing any idolatrous beliefs about God. If you didnt know some or all of these truths about God, it allows you to correct your thinking, and get to know God more deeply than you did before.  Before we start, I want to point out a few truths about God directly from Scripture, so you can remember this, because it will connect some dots for you and show you the teachings in your religion have a major flaw. It will begin to put a crack in it [those beliefs taught to you], so you can peer through [to truth] and see the light, and help shatter the disillusion you held to before. If it's true it's true and should be follow...

Q I really need to get answers to these perplexing issues about life and about Christianity and my belief or understanding on it so far. Can you help clarify these for me? If God does exist why did he make us in the first place? He knows the future so why did he make us if he knew we were going to suffer and sin anyways? To me religion always seemed like something to make you feel better about yourself and the after life since we don’t actually know what’s going to happen. If God knew people were going to end up killing, sinning, and all this bad stuff why make them? It doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve been forced into church since I was a kid and always saw adults thinking they see Jesus, angels, or hearing voices. Kids never see them though and always just follow along with the adults because they can’t understand, or they were raised to think they were meant to see or hear things. It sounds like they’re just manifesting hallucinations and voices, like they want to believe that they ca...

Q: What is the most solid proof that Roman Catholicism is NOT the "original church or faith", history to show that Catholicism came along later, after the Christian faith?       A: For an online listening source to get acclimated may I suggest  Church History by Dr. James White . 69 free lessons about an hour each.  Part of it is also comparing what the early church believed versus what the modern Roman Catholic Church believes and they are not the same at all. If anything you could argue that the Bible IS the proof of what the true church believed.  Remember Catholics have to to prove to you that their oral tradition goes back all the way to the apostles themselves. The Bible does prove what the Apostles taught. Literally with manuscript evidence.  He has also written extensively on the Roman Catholic Church, so thats another resource. And John MacArthur also dives into the Roman Catholicism religion, his series is good to go through also. We sh...

Q: I am new to Bible studying, started a few months ago and I take it seriously. I started with NIV but always cross reference to KJV and have found some things that weren’t the same or missing. The NIV is going to get a lot of people in trouble.  Last night I read Scripture and it was completely different when compared! I am so disturbed right now.  A: Missing as in verses? This can clarify that. And this explains & clarifies too... Examining Marks Ending   Confidence in God's Word Scribes added to make a story flow at the end or had added a handed down story close to manuscript writing timeframe, but earlier manuscripts show those were not in there and so reputable Bible translators today removed those... as they don't belong there. Those Scribes wrongly added to Scripture. God preserves His Word and will keep it pure.  As to NIV it has gender alterations after 1984 and is advised to stay away from that translation and it's related versions. There are diff ver...

Q: I've been seeing a lot of people in Christian groups or forums online recently telling people that Christians need to abide by the Mosaic Law, particularly regarding the Sabbath and dietary rules. (I'm not sure why those are their main concerns, seeing as there was so much more to the law, including clothing, stoning and sacrificing, etc.). I suspect they are in cults or have been taught wrong by flawed church teachers & preachers who are weak in the knowledge of Scripture.  A:  I've also seen a lot of others concerned by these things with Christians asking if we need to follow the Old Testament laws, since those trouble makers and decieved ones are causing anxiety in new and weak believers. Let's address this here... I recommend that everyone read through Galatians, especially chapters 2–5. It's a short book, and you can even listen to the whole thing in about 20 minutes using a free Bible app. And discuss with your Sunday School teacher & Pastor if you ...
