Were the italicized words in the original Hebrew and Greek, and if not are they inspired?
I believe the Bible teaches we are to abstain from wine. However, I have been challenged with Deuteronomy 14:26. This passage deals with those whose journeys are far from the temple. Therefore, they are to take money and purchase what the soul "lusteth" after (?) which includes wine. What is going on? I know other clear statements in the Bible cannot be set aside to "make way" for the idea there are instances people can drink. However, I don't have much of an answer.
I am doing a study on who controls the weather. I would appreciate any help on this topic.
I have a question that I hope you can help me with. Last evening my 16 year old granddaughter spent the night with me. She brought a movie she wanted me to watch called Stigmata. I feel this is NOT from God. Do you have an opinion regarding Stigmata? Have you heard of it before?
Why is there such a recent surge in the popularity of movies and TV shows dealing with "messages from the dead?" Why is the practice of consulting with psychics, such as Sylvia Brown or John Edwards (who claim to talk to the dead and consult spirit guides) becoming spiritually acceptable to so many?
