By email: BibleQA@3abn.org By text: (618) 228-3975 QUESTIONS COVERED: 1. Why does God have to make a new heaven if all is perfect there already? Why not just a new earth? Why does God create a New Heaven? 2. Why do people celebrate December 25th as the day Christ was born? 3. We all know that the feet of iron and clay in Daniel's vision represent the Roman Empire, as explained to Nebuchadnezzar. But does the iron appearing on the legs of the statue also suggest that the Roman Empire was already slightly divided within, before the ten-kingdom division? Can you please explain the meaning of the iron and clay in Daniel 2? 4. Can you please explain what the meaning of Matthew 24:13 is? I believe this refers to our salvation. 5. If as the psalmist declares in Psalm 139:14-16 that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, why do we seek to adopt completely new looks by changing the natural looks which God has seen fit to give us? Should true Christians be engaging in this behavior? Should we alter our natural looks? 6. I'm trying to explain to a friend that animals don't have a conscience and humans do, he doesn't believe that. He believes that everything that's living has a soul. Animals are the subject, where in the Bible can I help him with this? Do animals have a conscience? 7. Romans 13:1-2 says we are to obey state authorities because they don't exist without God's permission and they are His servants. Is it wrong to peacefully protest against the government when it is doing wrong? And if it is wrong, since we know Jesus did not come for a political uprising, what would be the right scriptural response? 8. Can you please explain 1 Timothy 4:3-4, forbidding to marry? What about Paul who did not marry, did he sin against God? Did Paul sin against God? 9. How do I know if I am truly walking with God and building a relationship with Him? I’m relatively active at church and do what I can to set aside time to study & read the Bible most days. I try to always listen to sermons, gospel songs, and biblical conversations but I can't help but feel like I'm going through the motions and not actually walking with God. Am I being too hard on myself or is there something else I need to consider to invest in a relationship that these acts are just not providing? How do we know if we are truly walking with God? 10. Can you explain Luke 7:33-34? Why would people call Jesus a drunkard? Did He actually drink grape juice? 11. Is the biblical definition of marriage only valid in the sense of a man and woman signing papers in front of a pastor and witnesses in a church in order to obtain a marriage certificate? I've often been told that it is just a modern-day societal construct and not necessarily a biblical requirement. So if a man and woman for instance enter into a cohabitation relationship and make a commitment of unconditional love towards each other without signing papers (i.e. having a common law marriage), is that wrong or sinful in the eyes of God? If so, can you please provide scriptural evidence and justification for marriage being valid in the eyes of God only under the conditions that a certificate of marriage is legally obtained? What is considered a valid marriage in the eyes of God? 12. In Matthew 12:1-8, Jesus seems to use a bad example to justify why the disciples picked heads of grain and ate on the Sabbath. He says that David did what was unlawful to do. It almost sounds like He agrees with the Pharisees. What is He trying to say? Can you please explain Matthew 12:1-8? ➡️SUBSCRIBE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Subscribe 💗DONATE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Donate 📗FREE MONTHLY MAGAZINE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Magazine 🔗FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/3abn.org/ 🔗INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/3abn_official/ 🔗TWITTER https://twitter.com/3abn 🔗WEBSITE https://3abn.org/ TDYQA240043 #Bibletopics #BibleQ&A
