Questions
- As you know, the Greek word pharmakeia is found only a few places (Galatians 5:20; Revelation 9:21; 18:23) in the New Testament. Nevertheless, it refers to the use of drugs in the context of witchcraft, which is clearly conde...
- Thanks for your note and question. First, I'll give you the answer to your first question from the article on "Sacraments" in the New Bible Dictionary: SACRAMENTS. The word 'sacrament' (Lat. sacramentum) in its technical t...
- I take it that the perseverance of the saints relates first and foremost to continual faith in the Lord. Second, it relates to growth in grace. Now, that growth can have ups and downs, just like the stock market. And there ...

- This passage in I Cor. 11:26 has been variously discussed. Is it the Lord's presence, the coming to take away his followers by death, or his coming to judge the world that is here meant? The best expositors hold that the apos...
- I suppose that in a very technical sense, both of these terms 'vision' and 'mission' are more contemporary than they are biblical. That is, neither of these terms is used biblically in the same sense it is used today in Chr...

- Although some scholars would say that this is the case, 1 Corinthians 11 addresses the issue of head covering only explicitly in relation to praying or prophesying. Thus, it seems that Paul meant for the head covering to be u...
- Many Christians believe that 1 Corinthians 11 and 1 Timothy 2 are speaking about essentially the same thing. They argue that since 1 Corinthians 11 only regulates women teaching men, it is a faulty interpretation to say that ...
