The Paralysis of Analysis

Whom did God give over in Romans 1? Why? Is water baptism necessary to be saved? How do we know whether we are operating by the Spirit or by human effort?

Does home church or online church not “count”?

Why does Paul mention defilement of flesh and spirit if we cannot be spiritually defiled as believers? Is the Roman Catholic church the one true church? My brother is a minister, and he is sleeping with multiple women and involved in substance abuse. What should I do? Some say that home church or online church […]

“Are we two parts (soul, body) or three?”

How should we approach unbelievers in our circle? Do we have two parts or three parts? Does our spirit sin? Does Hebrews 9 say that God plans our time of death? What happens to those who reject the gospel? What are some key verses that remind us of our identity in Christ?

What is the soul? Is it the real me? Is it important to believe we have three parts (spirit, soul, and body) instead of just two? I’ve asked God for forgiveness over and over, but I still don’t feel forgiven. What can I do? Doesn’t the Lord’s Prayer say we’re supposed to ask Him to […]

Still under “the moral Law”?

What does it mean to grieve the Spirit? Why does James say we all stumble when Peter says there’s a way not to stumble? Why do so many church people judge others? Does the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ? Where does Catholicism get things wrong when it comes to forgiveness? […]

“Am I being unfaithful to my church?”

How can we best evangelize without being pushy? I’m having problems with a family member. What should I do? Does God still love those who are ultimately not saved? Why does Paul take a vow in Acts 21? Can you be a leader in church if you’ve been divorced? Am I being unfaithful if I […]

“Should you really ‘give in secret’ as Jesus said?”

I know that our spirit goes to Heaven, but what happens to our soul? Should we really try to “give in secret” as Jesus said in Matthew 6? My Bible study leader says we need to the Holy Spirit to help us keep the Law. What can I do to help him understand the truth?

When I questioned some of the practices of a deliverance ministry, they said I was committing an unpardonable sin. Could this be true? Is Jesus the Son of God, or God Himself, or both? What does 2 Corinthians 7 mean by “defilement of flesh and spirit”? What are the roots of Calvinism and its view […]

Why did Jesus answer Pilate’s questions but not Herod’s? If we were spiritually dead, then what part of us died at salvation? If it died, then how are we alive now? Do we have a human spirit that is distinct from God’s Spirit? My pastor said tongues is not for today because of 1 Corinthians […]

Can you be cast away and burned if you don’t abide in Christ enough? What does it mean to worship God “in spirit and in truth”? How do you “stay right” with God? How can you be loving but also stand up for the truth of the Gospel? How does God’s grace factor into my […]

Does living by the Spirit mean keeping the Ten Commandments? How do we recognize the Holy Spirit? What is meaning of the Parable of the Talents? Is it possible that I have been severed from Christ? Should my wife be baptized again? Are there membership requirements to take communion?

Is the heart the same as the spirit? I hear voices that make some blasphemous statements against the Spirit. Then I wonder: Have I committed the unforgivable sin? What if I don’t see enough evidence of the fruit of the Spirit in my life?
