Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Should Christians have to work on Sunday?: 4 of 13
Christians have been commanded by God that they should not bear a burden "nor do any work"(a) on the Sabbath in order to honor that day of rest by keeping it holy. God "blessed" the seventh day because, on that day, He "rested" from the work of creation. He also "sanctified" it(b), or set it apart as holy - a sacred day. Chr... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Does the US Patriot Act undermine Americans' freedoms?: 7 of 22
The Patriot Act is a direct assault on American freedoms and values that once made this country great, but today such greatness has eluded this nation. Also, there are similarities between the Enabling Act of 1933 Germany and the Patriot Act of 2001 America. Such similarities provide key background information for us to cons... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture What is the greater challenge in accepting Christianity: Intellectual or moral?: 6 of 17
In accepting Christianity, the greater burden is moral, rather than intellectual. Reading the Bible all of the way through is not required for salvation - repentance and faith are; the two Jesus commands in Mark 1:15. A Christian acknowledges the error of his ways, avoids immorality, and by faith is saved through grace, whic... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Was Jesus' mother Mary divine or just human?: 17 of 48
Mary was just a woman who was "highly favored"(a) by God, but the immaculate conception, and subsequent birth of the "Son of the Most High"(b), were divine. Mary was merely a "virgin pledged to be married"(c); a "vessel for honor"(d) chosen by God for his divine purpose. Who also puts His light into fragile pots of clay to p... More..
Politics, News & Issues > International News Is the modern world filled with more fear than in time's past?: 12 of 32
An increase of fear within a modern population is accomplished through effective methods of "fear mongering" by governments worldwide. With leaps of technology, information related to a specific threat arrives nearly instantly. As populations learn more and more about threats, they discover more reasons to be afraid. William...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Do you believe in miracles?: 20 of 50
According to C.S. Lewis, if we first believe that miracles are not impossible in the natural world, then the "existing evidence will be sufficient to convince us that quite a number of miracles have occurred."(a) Based on the Biblical accounts alone, there are those of faith who believe that miracles have occurred - and will...

Politics, News & Issues > US Military (Other) Should the US close the military prison on Guantanamo Bay?: 10 of 25
The U.S. government needs to close the Guantnamo Bay Detention Camp because of the damage its existence has caused to foreign policy, which outweighs any benefits. The world is well aware of the fact that the U.S. is dead serious about the "war on terror". Granted, the camp may prolong related public argument, riding on the ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Are there angels among us?: 14 of 34
Angels have always been among men. Along with the heavens and the earth, God created angels.(Genesis 2:1) In heaven, countless angels were seen around the throne singing.(Revelation 5:11) In fact, these heavenly beings "shouted for joy" while the earth was being formed.(Job 38:6,7) In 2 Kings 6, the king of Aram sent a "stro...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Is there room in Christianity for other beliefs?: 23 of 52
The heart of a true servant must be "completely devoted" to God.(1 Kings 11:4) By following other beliefs - which are false beliefs, false gods and false religions - that servant will anger the "true God" - who is the "living God, the eternal King."(Jeremiah 10:10) There is "one God and Father of all, who is over all and thr...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Is it against Christian principles to judge others?: 27 of 61
In response to a pharisaic scruple intended to invalidate His testimony, Jesus said, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going."(a) This truth indicates why it is impossible for one man to judge another ...
