During the White House correspondents dinner, Trump directly stated he would be running for a “fourth” term. Due to this being unconstitutional via the 22nd amendment, and states running their own elections, could states simply not put his name on ballots come election day? We k…

When Jesus stood on the mountain of Transfiguration, glowing with radiant light, two men appeared beside Him: Moses and Elijah. Most of us were taught they just represent the Law and the Prophets, and this is part of it. But when you look closely at what these two men actually e…

I’m very new to reading the Bible. I read it as a teenager but didn’t retain much of it and I’ve just started again. Would the pharo have just let them go if God hadn’t hardened his heart? Thank you. Edit: Thank you so much for all the replies. They’ve all been so very helpful.

This is something I've been thinking about, in Revelation the new earth is going to be created and there will be **NO** sin in it which means that we are going to be changed by God if I'm not mistaken to not want to sin (this is according to what I've heard at church which is a…

Hi everyone, I’m looking for websites that focus on Christian apologetics and explaining doctrinal beliefs. I’m especially interested in articles that engage with Roman Catholicism by examining its doctrines, miracles, apparitions, and related claims. I’m already familiar with C…

I mean what kinda Dad does that - hey fellas, leave these 2 “malachs” alone. You can instead gangrape my 2 daughters. Would you do that? Would any human do that? Or perhaps was he trying to prevent something bigger coz Lot is in the know. The men mating with the celestial visito…

I am a virgin guy and a Christian, and I want to get married one day—but completely without sex. The entire thought of sex honestly disgusts and bores me. I just don't see the point of it, and I find anatomy like the vagina completely unappealing. However, I still want a romanti…

I got a new Bible I’m really excited about I have tabbed it up and highlighted some verses in the psalms that I like but I was looking at the margins and I really realized that I don’t know how to study the bible like at all, so how do I actually study the bible?

It's very clear that in a lot of ways, religious ethics from different traditions overlap with each other, but in what significant ways do the major world religions differ on that regard?

When I was growing up, we would do them in children's class (also called children's church at some churches). The teacher had everyone lift up their Bibles (if old enough to read and have one), then read off a reference. Then they'd say "ready.....go!!" All the kids would bring…

Who proved that Lot's wife actually looked back? The text says she looked back and became a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26), but who witnessed it? Lot and his daughters were fleeing for their lives. Did they see her turn around? Did God later reveal what happened? Was the narrato…

Why would I belive in prayer if seamingly the majority of prayers go unanswered? There's a child at least every minute that has prayed for healing, yet they die anyway. Multiple children that have prayed for God's mercy have died just while I've been writting this. Why would I w…
