I have, when teachers would bring into question the authors of the bible books, how ancient people beliefs could have been included in the bible’s writings, how some saw Jesus and the accuracy of the bible transmission. But as I have grown in the scriptures, I have understood that misunderstanding doesn’t mean wrong or unreliable.

I think only when facing a few hardships, when no answer came to my rescue in time frame. but once i sat down and considered my thinking, I realized that it was my desperate need talking not my believe based on His word and knowledge.

to believe allah is God, muhammed is his prophet and the quran is the god’s word given to muhammed.

that salvation is the way to free from a life cycle that repeats.

they teach that salvation is to be free from an ongoing pattern of life repeating itself, so salvation is to break the cycle and cease to exist.

that it’s a miracle book, passed down through their prophet Muhammed, who is the last prophet sent by god

its important to know other religions, for one to share our faith, to know our differences in beliefs, and also to know whether if it can have a positive or negative impact or influence in our communities.

well sometimes not enough influences, others actually wanting more control of our way of lives

they are important because they open a door for sharing of our faith

a religious faith is a set of beliefs and practices based on a God

the benefits of studying other religions are to know the differences and similarities about their beliefs apart from the Christian faith. it helps with evangelism and also understand why they believe what they believe.

A coworker, who practices a different religion asked Me a question in regard to Jesus being God, while He was on earth. I explained based on verses depicting Jesus as God in Old Testament prophesy, based on miracles and other things Jesus did and said, and until now it has been a regular discussion about my faith and the differences with…

He became a fallen angel by rebelling against God, wanting to be a god himself and receive worship. His activity in the world reflects his nature of a fallen being, deceiving, sowing confusing, making people question God’s word and ultimately wants to destroy the people of God.

It reminds me that, we are protected by our God through His angels, and it brings me peace that we are not alone.

its important to get involved in the local church for many reasons, for support, for learning of scriptures, for maturing as a believer and for growing into the person God has called you to be in the body of the Christ.

The universal church is all the believers united by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit around the world.

The local church is the smaller body of believers gathered in a particular location, and united by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

the true of Faith, which means complete trust in Jesus and His work on the cross for our salvation.

That is God’s very own words breathed to human writers, by His Holy Spirit. because it’s inspired by God, it’s inerrant, is to be taken seriously and its relevant for all times.

when a person truly surrenders their will to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, they can accomplish much for the kingdom of God. The book of acts is a testimony of this and it’s amazing that He still has not stopped working in the lives of believers to empower them to continue the work that started with the early church.

The doctrine of Christ gave me a deeper love for my savior, by making me realize that God came down for our salvation and suffered a death we deserved and because of love he was willing to endure it in our behalf.

I read the bible as a whole book at first and then focus in each individual book, to get the teachings for each individual audience and situation and then try to apply that to our current generation.

to be aware of Him being there and also listening but not just for the purpose of making request, but to fellowship.

He needed to continue praying, cause God had promised but Elijah didn’t know when it will happen. so perseverance in prayer is key to receiving God’s promises. If Eijah had stopped praying, it would show his lack of faith in God’s promises.

because its more about getting to know God. To grow in our relationship and dependence of Him. Jesus taught that we need to pray because we depend on God, for strength, answers and understanding.

That one becomes more sensitive to the Holy Spirit when fasting.

i have seen the unity it creates among those praying.

The way I respond to wrong teaching, I refuse the false doctrine and try to speak what the word of God actually teaches. I see a lot of refuting needing to be done lately and its sad to see how people believe these false teachings without researching themselves what the truth is. The same thing happening in the days of the apostles are…

Yes I have and What has helped Me is the reminder of His unfailing love towards us. When I was in a trial and had no other way, it led me back to Jesus. I love what Peter said to Jesus when other were leaving, because of His teachings. Jesus asks the disciples do you want to go away also? And Peter answers

John 6:68 “Lord to whom shall we go?…

correct doctrine is important because, otherwise it will lead many people astray and be condemned.

it would be hard to live it out, if there is no knowledge about how to live as a Christian. A lot of confusion and questions unanswered that would cause many to be misled, and more false teachers would develop without correct instruction.

Paul was zealous for the law and knew it very well. when he has the encounter with Jesus, He learns about the Gospel and as he starts preaching, he presents Jesus prophesied about in the Old Testament and in the New Testament fulfilling those prophesies. His background made it easier to explain Jesus, taking out of the Old and the New Testaments.

the Gospel is meant for the whole world to listen to it. Jesus came to the jew first, but the Gospel was always going to be for those outside of the jews as well. Acts 1:8 says to the ends of the earth, this Gospel will be preached.

Miracles: the calming of the sea when on the boat with the disciples.

Parables: the parable of the Sower.

God was visiting His people in a humble bodily form and was willing to die for the ransom of many, but His people did not receive Him.

they have different accounts at times, because they are from different perspectives. Some were eyewitnesses, others investigated the events that took place in the time of Jesus from trusted sources. non the less their differences help to uncover different views of the same events that occurred.

I have read the New Testament a few times, but I still find in it, new things about Jesus and His purpose for His coming and how everything is tied together with the Old Testament.

The repeated sacrifices were required because, the offerings did not take away the sin eternally and it did not make the people perfect (sinless or make people right before God), so year after year they needed to make a sacrifice for payment for the sins committed

It would have been harder to believe His claim of deity. Well its hard to say, His ministry was dependent on the Holy Spirit, If the spirit was not in Jesus, many of the supernatural works would’ve had a lot more limitations by Him being a human being. He was God on earth, but His humanity needed the Holy spirit to perform supernatural works.

He demonstrated authority over creation, he performed miracles that broke the laws of nature, the wine, walking on water, calming the wind and the sea. He performed miracles that only God could have done, raise the dead or give life, heal the sick, cast out demons, forgive sins. what He performed testified about His claim of deity.

No God does not contradict Himself. I believe God will use anyone to carry out His plan. We see God used pharaoh to carry out His plan for the children of Israel to leave Egypt. The hardness of Pharaohs heart permitted God to perform all those supernatural feats. Now the Magi had a practice that was forbidden by God, but God’s grace allowed…

God loves all people no matter what status or rank or race we belong to. Jesus purchased people from all nations of the world for our God, he makes no exemption of people, all are welcomed.

we were unclean like the shepherds and unable to come to near to God’s presence with our sinful nature.

Just like the shepherds we were unclean sinful people in need of a savior. God has not stopped proclaiming the message of salvation through His messengers, back then it was angels, today God uses people who have had the encounter of salvation through our lord Jesus Christ.

I will be honest if experts in their field couldn’t come up with a definitive answer, I feel that I would definitely will not be the appropriate person to answer. But I will say this, for the star to move and to end on top of where Jesus was borne, is a SUPERNATURAL event since nothing like this has ever happened, I think. It’s reassuring…

it’s a departure from what we know of human biology, because it’s impossible to be accomplished. God went against the laws of nature once again to accomplish His divine purpose.

I believe that with God it has to be supernatural, because He is supernatural. Not to mention there had to be no question that Jesus was not a normal human being, because for Him to die for the sinner He had to be a perfect man. It’s awesome to think that no other human being has been born without the necessary components that make a birth possible.

that’s a hard question since it was planned out even before the foundation of the earth and our creation.

wouldn’t know.

Joshua’s success comes from obedience to God’s commands. He told Joshua, the book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your ways prosperous and then you will have success. Success comes from…

I believe God created us to have a relationship with us and to display His attributes of Love, Compassion, Mercy and to have Fellowship.

Its significant to us today because, even though in the Old Testament God spoke to Israel, now we are all God’s people and when we fail it’s good to know that our God is a forgiving, loving and always ready to extend another opportunity for us to return to Him. A lot of us have played the prodigal son role or some will play that role, but when…

The four different Eras, explain exactly what happened to Israel throughout history. It helps to understand the flow of the story, why events happened, when it happened, and because of who they happened. But in the midst of all that tragedy, God shows that He still cares for His people. He disciplines like a father disciplines His child, for…
