Who is Satan? Why is he allowed to exist? What do we know about him?
Please help me out here. We are studying the qualifications for a Pastor. If he is divorced can he still be ordained? Does it matter who is at fault? What about the passage in 1Corinthians 7 "not bound". Someone in our church is divorced and wants to become a pastor, it is causing a lot of strife in church and families.
My wife is Methodist. They take confirmation classes when they are 15,she says this to see if the person is ready to accept Jesus or not, she believes in Jesus she says, but she says she was "confirmed", which she says is the same as being saved. Please explain this kind of belief and if its wrong.
Do Christians require anointing oil, i.e. olive oil, to heal the sick, as instructed in James?
I was always taught that Angels could do nothing on their own. They were created to do God's will and had no free will of their own. Then I hear Satan rebelled against God and 1/3 of the Angels followed him. How can this be if they have no free will?
A friend of mine on the KJV Baptist group on Yahoo is working with a Jehovah Witness who is telling him that Jesus and Michael the Archangel are one and the same and that Michael is the only Archangel. He is looking for Biblical refutations of this patently absurd position! As the Lord leads and you have the time would you help us?
