Chi È Più Grande di Giovanni Battista? Egli è colui del quale è scritto: “Ecco, Io mando il Mio messaggero davanti alla Tua faccia, il quale preparerà la Tua strada davanti a Te”. Perché io vi dico che fra i nati di donna, non vi è alcun profeta più grande di Giovanni Battista; tuttavia il…
Was Mary, The Mother Of Jesus, A Virgin For Her Whole Life? Believers in the Orthodox communion and Roman Catholic Christians believe that Mary was a virgin even after she gave birth to Jesus. I would say that the Bible, in its most natural reading, tells us that this is not correct. The Bible makes…
What Does It Mean To Love Your Enemies? One of the most important meanings of loving someone else is to desire the best for them. Desiring the best for somebody isn’t always to desire that everything be comfortable and easy in their life, because sometimes we need challenges. Especially if a person is far from…
Do Holy Places Still Matter? I’ve always wanted to visit Israel, but I wonder – does walking where Jesus walked actually strengthen our faith, or should we be cautious about attaching too much spiritual meaning to physical places? How should believers think about “holy sites” or pilgrimages today? Thanks for your question! It comes at…
Should Christians Use Preferred Pronouns? If someone at work or school demands that I use their “preferred pronouns,” am I showing Christ’s love by doing so, or am I participating in a lie? How does a Christian balance grace and truth in this situation? The word that strikes me in your question is demands. I’m…
This is he of whom it is written: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.” For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. (Luke…
Serviço Direcionado Quando acabou de falar, disse a Simão: Faze-te ao largo, e lançai as vossas redes para pescar. Respondeu-lhe Simão: Mestre, havendo trabalhado toda a noite, nada apanhamos, mas sob a tua palavra lançarei as redes. (Lucas 5:4-5) Simão Pedro e vários outros discípulos pescaram a noite toda sem sucesso. Pela manhã, Jesus quis…
Servizio Diretto E, quando ebbe finito di parlare, disse a Simone: “Prendi il largo, e calate le vostre reti per pescare”. E Simone, rispondendo, gli disse: “Maestro, ci siamo affaticati tutta la notte e non abbiamo preso nulla; però, alla tua parola, calerò la rete”. (Luca 5:4-5) Simon Pietro e molti altri discepoli avevano pescato…
O sermão não valorizado Todos os que estavam na sinagoga ficaram furiosos quando ouviram isso. Levantaram-se, expulsaram-no da cidade e o levaram até ao topo da colina sobre a qual fora construída a cidade, a fim de atirá-lo precipício abaixo. Mas Jesus passou por entre eles e retirou-se. (Lucas 4:28-30) Ao longo dos anos, preguei…
When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” (Luke 5:4-5) Simon Peter and several of the…
Il Sermone non Apprezzato Nel udire queste cose, tutti nella sinagoga furono presi dall’ira. E, levatisi, lo cacciarono dalla città e lo condussero fino al ciglio della sommità del monte, su cui la loro città era edificata, per precipitarlo giù. Ma Egli, passando in mezzo a loro, se ne andò. (Luca 4:28-30) Nel corso degli anni,…
How Can I Tell Whether Biblical Commands Are Contextual or Universal? How do we know which rules are only valid in the context of a specific situation, and which are “universal”? For example, that most Christians believe that wives should submit to their husbands (Ephesians 5:22), but hardly anyone thinks that women should cover their…
