Questions

Do you have to believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God to be saved?
In a very general way, I think I can say that one could come to faith in Christ for salvation without believing in the inerrancy of the Word of God, but I am doubtful that one could stay that way for long. The disciples of ou...
Do dogs go to heaven when they die?

God's questions 40:15-41:34

Psalm 104

This psalm is quite similar to Psalm 103. Both begin and end with similar calls to bless God. However, God's dealing with people is the subject of praise in Psalm 103 whereas His creation and sustenance of the world are the t...
