“Does God scourge me?” (Hebrews 12)
Why does James say Abraham was justified when he offered Isaac? Wasn’t Abraham a believer before that? I struggle so much with Hebrews 12 and the discipline of God. How can I see grace in this chapter? And what about the idea of Esau selling his birthright? That seems scary to me!
“God hated Esau?”
How do we make sense of Acts 19:6 where 12 people are speaking in tongues and prophesying? What is Romans 9 really about, with God loving Jacob and hating Esau? I’m in love with an unbeliever, and I wonder: What should I do?
“Did Jesus only die for some people?”
Why did Mary and Joseph question why Jesus was missing? Did they forget He was God? Why does it say Jesus was obedient to them? Wasn’t He always? What are your thoughts on Calvinism? Did God predestine some to Heaven and others to Hell? What is Romans 9 really all about? Why does it mention […]
“Can I give up my birthright?”

If believers choose to sin, will they be judged? Why does the author of Hebrews talk about Esau selling his birthright? Can we give up our salvation in the same way? If we are totally forgiven forever, then what is the meaning of 1 John 1:9?

What does it mean to consider the members of our body as dead to sin? Does James 2 mean we should examine our lifelong record of works to see if we are saved? Why does Romans 9 say, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated”? Does the Holy Spirit convict believers, unbelievers, or both?
