We held our Spiritual Q & A last night. While many across Iowa were questioning who to caucus for, we were asking questions about life, the Bible, spiritual matters, and more. I must say there were some GREAT questions asked, and I wish we could have gotten to all of them.Below are the questions we DID get to. The other questions we didn't have time for will be posted in separate posts with comments open.
------
- What is the "year of Jubilee"?
- My friend proclaims Christ, but is considering moving with her boyfriend. She says the Bible has nothing to say about this issue. What does the Bible say about this issue?
- If a person is in a relationship with a non-Christian, should that person continue the relationship or break it off and have a "hole" in their heart? Also, would Jesus be upset if that person wants to stay in the relationship?
- What are some good verses or passages that can encourage others in their faith?
- What is faith, and is it blind?
- My parents are new believers and are unfamiliar with the Bible. Where would you recomend they start reading in the Bible?
- How can we be joyful, knowing that some people will not be with God in eternity?
- When studying the historical books of the Old Testament, how do we "put ourselves in the Israelite's Place" - reconciling the ethics of a nation at that time - military conquest, plunder, putting the conquered "to the sword" vs. our ethics since the time of Christ - "love your neighbor", "peace", etc.?
- Many Muslims believe Allah is the same as the Christian God - how does the Christian church view the relationship between Yahweh and Allah?
