fectoab The Bible is actually really clear in that matter. In the Gospels Jesus himself refers to God as his Father(read this in John 3:16 and John 10:36)there are others too, thus pointing to the fact that Jesus is God's son and not God himself. After Jesus was...

Do you still read the Bible?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 16 Mar 09

Do you still read it? or is it just staying there in the altar accumulating dust? I do read scriptures, because a friend gave me a bible diary and I like how it's formatted. There's a good explanation and teaching after every...

fectoab I try to read the Bible everyday because I believe it's the best possible information for us. I also make research on the portions I don't understand and try to apply whatever I can in my daily life. God created us, he knows what we need like a parent...

Do you believe that the end of time is fast approaching?

yhano76 @yhano76 (50) • United States 31 Mar 09

Nobody knows right? I think this is a big issue everybody really dunno the answer! But what do you think?

6 responses

fectoab Well, I found through my Bible studies and readings that although no one knows the day that God will bring peace on earth, he did give us signs so that we may know of the period of time in which to look out for. For instance, when Jesus was on earth, he gave,...

One World Government

cristine3276 @cristine3276 (893) • Philippines 19 Nov 08

The major economies of the world has alipped into recession. Do you think the world is on a brink of global financial meltdown? Will this pave the way for the coming of the one world government of the AntiChrist?

fectoab Everything I've learned through my Bible study is that God will act soon and bring about true peace and security yearned by so many in the world. God does promise that His government with Jesus in charge, will rule over the entire earth and bring everlasting...

Why this pain in our life?

ajithlal @ajithlal (14716) • India 13 Dec 08

Why does we get hurt in our life? What cann't be everything perfect in our life? Why do we meet bad people in our life?

fectoab It is a sad reality of this world but so many, like yourself, suffer for one thing or another. I feel for you. The worse thing is having no one to talk to about our pain and suffering. The Gospels give much detail about Jesus'kindness and his compassion...

fectoab Interesting the verses you quote! I believe the Bible is meant to be understood, otherwise, why would God have gone through all that trouble to preserve it to our day. Something I always do to better understand a Bible verse is read the context and...

Have you ever read the Bible seriously?

Masmasika @Masmasika (1921) • Philippines 12 Nov 08

I haven't read the Bible seriously in my life. I only read the Bible when my students have assignments about religion. Although I am a Catholic and I go to church and pray the rosary, I still don't read the Bible to really...

fectoab It is too bad that you don't read the Bible because you're really missing out on what God has to say. It could be likened to your students attending your class but never opening their text books to learn from them.

does Sodom and Gomorra exist today?

geonelynn @geonelynn (369) • Philippines 3 Dec 08

do you think there is a place today that levels up to Sodom and Gomora in biblical times today? let me know what you think..

5 responses •

2 people

fectoab To be honest, it seems like Sodom and Gomorrah has crept into our every day lives rather we like it or not. The attitudes and morals of those cities are all around us on television, the internet, books, mags, etc... I've noticed a radical change in people's...

Can you explain the book of Revelation?

heyurock @heyurock (85) • United States 4 Dec 08

I know this is a risky topic, but I have read Revelations myself, have studied with 2 different religions and researched others but still have a lot of trouble trying to figure out what God is telling us about our near...

fectoab I agree with you. The book of Revelation can be difficult to understand because of its symbolism, but God meant it to be understood, otherwise why would he had inspired it in the first place. It is difficult to explain everything in the book of revelation in...

The Bible is fit for worship?

taurus54 @taurus54 (317) • Philippines 23 Sep 08

Dear Believer: I do not accept the Bible as God’s word because it contains thousand of errancies and contradictions that can not be solved, only rationalized.I refuse to accept Jesus as my personal savior,for his behavior and...

fectoab Everyone has the right to choose to believe the Bible or not; it's our God-given liberty to do so. I've never, in my experience, seen any descrepancies in the Bible that weren't explained clearly by the Bible itself, in the context, or with a little outside...

Please Explain What Is This????? LOL

anotherbirthday @anotherbirthday (810) • Malaysia 7 Apr 08

According to these verses, God takes part in a wrestling match, but He wins by injuring Jacob's hip! Read this; Genesis 32:24-30 (King James Version) 24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with...

2 responses

fectoab While the text could easily be understood as though it's the Almighty God that was wrestling with Jacob, one must always keep in mind the rest of the Bible and its content before understanding one particular verse. For example, in other parts of the Bible it's...

What is the truth?

Chadanne @Chadanne (253) • Philippines 21 May 08

Have you asked this question to yourself? What is the REAL truth? What I mean is, does God really exist? I'm not against God but sometimes it makes me wonder if all the things I believe in is really true. We are nothing but a...

fectoab You bring up some great questions. What is the real truth is such an important question and one on many people's minds. Jesus said to his father in John 17:17: "Your word is truth." In other words, God's word, the Bible, contains this "real truth." This only...

What does the Bible say about Christmas?

xd14keilrisker @xd14keilrisker (281) • Philippines 23 Dec 07

Anybody know about what the Bible says about celebrating Christmas? Should Christians celebrate Christmas? I need your opinion?

fectoab It's funny how most people blindly follow the crowd in celebrating certain holidays such as Christmas without even thinking or researching what it is that they're really celebrating. I think it's good to reassess stuff like this because if it isn't in the...

Do you think Satan Exists?

desertdarlene @desertdarlene (8910) • United States 24 Mar 07

Do you think Satan exists, or do you think he's a myth.

16 responses •

fectoab I believe Satan exists. He is God's rival. It isn't hard to be convinced that he's out there. Look at what's going on in the world. There has to be some kind of evil force out there.

The 144,000.... Are they the only ones that will go to heaven?

rabanesd @rabanesd (284) • United States 15 May 07

Some believe that on the second coming of Christ he will only receive 144,000 people and leave the rest behind. Well the bible says in Rev. 7 that John a great multitude that no man can number, standing before the throne dressed...

4 responses

fectoab I've read and studied the book of revelation for many years and I've come to the understanding that, yes, that the Bible only speaks of 144,000 humans having the privilege of going to heaven. This does not mean that the rest of the humans are doomed, but this...

Everythings is predestined? Is it?

David_B @David_B (89) 16 Apr 07

Do you think God or someone knows the future. Me personally I don't think God or anyone knows everything that's gonna happen. But what do you think? Is it everything predestined, your future, coming partner, name of your kids,...

fectoab If everything was predestined, why do we bother caring for our health or avoiding dangerous situations? Wouldn't you be much more vulnerable in a battlefield than in your house? Doesn't a non-smoker get sick and might die with cancer as opposed to the person...

Hell - Why was it made?

moneycradle @moneycradle (115) • India 18 Apr 07

Do you believe that Hell and Heaven exist? Why was hell made? Is it Gods plan that people who don't accept HIM be tormented in Hell for eternity? Does God give a second chance? Where will you be spending your eternity?

fectoab I've read the Bible in whole and I've never read about the existence of a tormenting hell where people are sent to suffer forever and ever. What kind of God would even think of something like that? The Bible talks about God as a God of love. Do you think that...
