Q: What’s your opinion of the “Oneness Doctrine”? I have recently met someone who believes this teaching. Dave
A: Weird aren’t they? They carry the sheen common to many cults; it reminds me of processed cheese.

Q: Can a Christian be a teacher in a Public School? John
A: First we need to clarify the term public school, which in the UK where I grew up, refers to a private fee-paying school where parents have to be very well-heeled to send their children.

Q: I feel as though I’m in a spiritual rut; just going through the routines of prayer, and church activities, but without really advancing in God. Any ideas to help?
A: It is a common situation; due to a surfeit of church-iness: Not enough Jesus.
Here’s the solution, if you mean business with God.

Q: Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? What does this mean to you? Frank
A: You refer to SoS 8:5 KJV;
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved?
The Hebrew scripture indicates that this rhetorical question is posed by observers, denoted as “Friends” in some English translations.

Q: I’m a teenager who attends a “Church of Christ” with my family. I like everything about it, but the Youth Minister is immature, and isn’t a good teacher. I know it’s just one person, but the majority of my opportunities to serve involve him, and he isn’t doing all he can. I know of better alternative churches, and if he doesn’t change, would it be appropriate to leave? Sam
A: Thank you for a lovely question, that many of us have asked ourselves over the years, so we understand your situation Sam.
The answer is simple.

Q: In Luke 2:34-35, Simeon prophesied over Mary that her soul would be pierced, also so that the hearts of many would be revealed. Is this where praying to Mary comes from? Hoby
A: No, nowhere in the Holy Bible is anybody instructed to pray to Mary.
It is sin, an occult trap devised by Satan and propagated by Roman Catholics to lead sinners away from Christ: The only Saviour. 1 Tim. 2:5-6.

Q: Is witnessing boasting?
A: To boast means to have great pride, self-satisfaction, and smugness in what a person; has, does, or says.
Such boasting is regarded in the world as uncouth, crass, and by the LORD as grievous sin.

Q: I recently heard that Genesis 4:26 has been translated improperly, and that men were not calling on the Name of the LORD in a good way, but in a negative way. Is there any truth to this? Chuck
A: You refer to the passage: Gen. 4:25-26 KJV;
And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

Q: In your article on the KJV PCE, you mention that the punctuation and spelling were standardised at the turn of the 19th. century, but what about the spelling mistake of throughly in Second Timothy 3:17?
A: Have a silver-star and a lollipop for being keen-eyed and thoughtful, but it is definitely not a spelling mistake.

Q: What do you think about the possibility of pre-Adamite man?
A: It’s impossible. An heretical myth invented by people who refuse to believe the Holy Bible. Typically those who try to rationalise secular atheistic scientist’s crazy theories with Creation. 1 Co. 15:45 KJV;
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
God’s word plainly tells us that Adam was the first man.

Q: When we repent and admit our sins to God, and know that The Lord Jesus died for our sins to be absolved; does God remove our guilt of those sins, or do we become a guilty born again Christian? Warren
A: Thank you for a lovely question that demonstrates the Lord is drawing you to Christ. Ask Him to show you what His Redemption includes.

Q: What should Christians say when somebody asks them which came first; Chicken or egg? Does the Bible give any clues about this difficult question?
A: The phrase, “it’s a chicken and egg situation” is commonly used in English to denote a cyclical conundrum without end or beginning. The implication of the idiom is that you cannot have one without the other, ergo the question is unsolvable.
