"Love thy neighbor," the Bible tells us, but drug-dealing neighbors are a threat to the health and safety of everyone.

Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts Does "truth" exist?: 4 of 33

Truth does exist. Ultimate truths are beliefs which are universally true for everyone. Relativity means that what is true for you or your circumstance is not true for others. It is important to know that there are universal truth statements, for example, in science and math. When it comes to religious belief, however, truth ...
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should religious organizations be prevented from participating in politics?: 2 of 16

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's," (Matthew 22:21). Religious organizations are groups, not individuals, and should NOT be participating in politics for the simple reason that political interests involve governmental regulations, executive laws, special financial interes...
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Is the Bible outdated and irrelevant?: 12 of 86

The Holy Bible is more relevant now than ever before due to the end-time warnings contained in the Book of Revelation as well as the astounding accuracy of prophetic truth actually coming to pass in a modern age.
