Playing Cards
Some people make comments about ‘playing cards’ as something that’s ‘not Christian’. What does the Bible say about this?

Dreadful Stories
“I believe by faith that all of the Bible is God-breathed; but I wonder why some of the accounts were important enough to God that He would ensure them to be recorded for all history. For example, tonight I read Judges 19:1-30, which is the account of the Levite and his concubine. It was such a wicked, horrid and vulgar story. Why do you think that these kinds of accounts are important for us to read and know?”
Too Young for Communion?
How could a child who has not reached the age of accountability, and cannot discern good and evil, make the proclamation of Christ’s death and it’s meaning?
Sins of the fathers?
During a recent Bible study group session, we were reading 2 Chronicles 25:4; where it forbids that “the children be put to death for their fathers”. All of us recalled reading Exodus 34:7; where it says that God visits the iniquities of the fathers on the children. We’re questioning the contradiction between these two books and verses; and would be very interested in your explaining this to us.”
Difference between Pharisees and Sadducees?
In Luke. 18:13 I read about the Pharisee praying his prayer, thanking God that he is not like the other men. Then the tax collector prayed his prayer of humility. Somehow I always thought that the other man was a Sadducee; and I was surprised when I read it again and found it was the tax collector and not the Sadducee. Where did I get the idea that the Sadducee was ‘sad you see’, and that therefore that was how you distinguish one from the other? What is the difference between the Pharisee and the Sadducee? Is there any other place that uses the Pharisee and the Sadducee in a situation that would have made me think that the Sadducee was a humble man?
Baptized for the dead?
I have a question about 1 Corinthians 15:29. In the New International Version, this verse reads, “Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are to raised at all, why are people baptized for them?” I have been confused in the past by Mormon teaching on this verse; and I still get twisted around by it. It sounds as if this verse is saying that, if people are going to be raised from the dead, then it’s okay to be baptized for the dead. What does this verse really mean?
Revelations Questions
I am always told that the first three and a half years of Tribulation will be peaceful. I know that in Daniel the Bible says that the Antichrist will break his covenant with Israel in the middle of the 7 years, does this necessarily mean that it will be peaceful in the first half…
Reconciling Habakkuk with Job
In Habakkuk 1:13, the prophet says that God is “of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness,” and yet, in Job 1 and 2 Satan not only enters into the presence of God, but carries on a conversation with Him. How do we reconcile Hab. 1:13 and Job 1 and 2?
Revealing Revelations
I would very much like to know the meaning behind one third in the book of Revelations in regards to the Trumpets and destruction. Please help me with this…. (Also), I am having great difficulty in understanding chapters 6,7,8,9 of Revelations. Can you help me out?
Nathan Who?
“In 2 Samuel 7, we read about Nathan the prophet. Could this be David’s son, the same Nathan we read about in Chapter 5?”
