Distinction Between the Son and Father in Prayer
I was wondering if I am praying to God in Jesus' name: I was under the impression that they are the same. So if they are the same, why differentiate between the two, (i.e.: Jesus / God created the heavens and the Earth)?
Dispensational Distinctions
What are some of the common characteristics and distinctions of salvation throughout the ages? Is there a connection between the new covenant and the new birth?
Did Jesus Have Long Hair?
I was taught Jesus had short hair, but someone in our church believes Jesus had long hair and that is his excuse to have long hair as well. Is this right?
Did Jesus Have a Sin Nature?
Was Jesus born with a sin nature? How can it be truly said of Him that He was tempted in every way that we are if He didn't inherit the sin nature from Mary? What makes it so remarkable that He didn't sin if He wasn't even born with the sin nature?
Did Christ Have an Eternal Body?
Some say God's essence is spirit and, therefore, that image is mind, will, and emotions (or similar variations) and cannot include anything physical like a body. Some put forth that the image is spirit, soul, and body. But even most of those admit that the body is looking forward to Jesus as God in the flesh. Why couldn't the Word have had a physical body before the incarnation and, thus, man being made in God's image would be body, soul, and spirit?
Degrees of Punishment in Hell
Person 'A' is a child/rapist/killer. Person 'B' is very kind and never intentionally hurt anyone. They both die without accepting Jesus as Saviour. Will there be any difference with regards to the degree of punishment they will receive after death?
Death Before Salvation
If someone is murdered before they had a chance to be saved (especially a young person), will they still obtain salvation? The person who committed the crime of the unsaved, if they are saved & confess/repent, will they still receive salvation even if the person they murdered doesn't?
Is a Deacon a Servant?
It is true that deacons are to be servants, but Jesus said that all who will minister for the Him are servants and that those who are to be chief must be servants.
The Day of the Lord
What is the Day of the Lord and what is the connection with the second coming of Christ?
