| I FREQUENT YOUR SITE AND IT IS VERY ENLIGHTENING, THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION: PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THE PHRASE: "IF GOD BE WITH YOU, WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU" I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE. THANKS AGAIN. |
When I was a kid, I remember watching a show with my earthly father where three brothers were taken from their home, placed in foster care, and basically badly mistreated. Dad was never one to show a whole lot of emotion, but after watching one particularly bad scene dad said, "If someone ever did that to you, they'd have to put me in jail, because I'd kill them." On the surface, that may sound awful for my father to say, but as a kid, it made me feel safe. Basically, dad was telling me, "I'd do anything to protect you." That's what the verse means to me. God loves us so much, that he'd "kill" his only Son to protect us from death. Not even satan can come against us without God stepping in and saying, "Step away! He/She is under my protection." God isn't saying life won't have peaks and valleys, but when all is said and done, we'll be safe in his hands. Hope this helps. |

Edmond asked: Do you accept article contributions for your site? If you do, please let me know the criteria and how I should submit my Christian articles for your review? Thank you. |
Hi Edmond, I certainly do accept submissions for articles. I have a monthly newsletter which I publish, and I'm always looking for great content for the website itself. If you're looking to submit a devotional, I'd try to keep it under 200 words. Other than that, I just look at the submissions, offer the odd suggestion as to wording/content, and then fit it where I think it fits best. Submissions are normally sent to this to this email address (mentioned above), but you could also submit through the contact us page. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Juan asked: May LORD GOD bless Mr. CEBG and your team in helping others to understand more about the stories from the Holy Bible.They are really interesting with the simplified versions esp. for the youth fellowship service. I wish to know where can I find the Verse in the Holy Bible said about 'Dinosaur ' as mentioned in your ' Bible Story Of Creation'(Paragraph 17 Line 5).TQ. Juan MALAYSIA. |
Hi Juan, The verse can be found in Job 40:15-24. My Bible says it is a hippo, elephant, or alligator. However, none of those animals have a tail that sways like a cedar. A brontosaurus does though...as do several other "long-neck" dinosaurs we know existed. Job 41 also talks about a leviathan. There is evidence/theory that some dinosaurs have chambers near their nasal passages which could have stored chemicals that, when combined, would produce fire - an actual dragon. Ancient pottery has been discovered with dinosaurs (large animals with scales) drawn on them. Dinosaur skin imprints have been uncovered which matches those drawings. Ladies and gentlemen, I think it's time we look at the Bible a little more literally. Many people try to separate science and "religion". The Bible is not religion. The Bible is a communication from God, which contains much more than how to live our lives for God. The problem is, man makes it a "religion". Great question, Juan! Keep'em coming.
Cheers, |

Edmond said: Feedback on your article ... 'Relatively Stupid' There is another side of Einstein you may wish to know: Did God Create Evil? Not sure whether the theories mentioned in your article is of Einstein's earlier days in life or later. He may not be an atheist or agnostic after all. |
Thanks for this Edmond, it's always good to be sharpened once in a while.
In this day and age, you almost have to see to believe. There are so many hoaxes out there, that it's hard to decipher just who is telling the truth. Here are a couple of links that I found regarding the story: I'm not going to judge who's telling the truth, and who isn't because I have no idea. The point I'm making here is, double-checking the source before accepting any facts presented is always a good idea. I wish I had a nickel for everytime I accepted facts as presented without checking the source. I'd be a rich man right now! One thing's for sure - we can trust the Bible, because the source is pretty reliable. |

MARIA asked: I THROUGHLY ENJOY THIS WEBSITE AND KEEP IT IN MY FAVORITES FOR QUICK ACCESS. THANK YOU. I HAVE SUBMITTED A QUESTION BEFORE AND WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWER SO HERE I GO AGAIN. THE SCRIPTURE "FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE" IS BAFFLING TO ME. GOD DID NOT GIVE US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR SO.....CAN YOU PLEASE SIMPLY EXPLAIN WHAT THIS SCRIPTURE MEANS, AND ALSO, WHERE IS IT? THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. |
Hi Maria, Thanks for the kudos! I enjoy this work immensely because I love to write - so I hope it shows in the end product. Psalm 139:14 is the verse you mention here. If you read it in context, David talks about the wonders of creation and the vastness of God. He mentions that he praises God because he is "fearfully and wonderfully made". In this case, David is not talking about fear as in "go hide". What he refers to is something like a healthy fear of your earthly parents when you were a child (ie. "I better not do that, or mom and dad will be angry..."). David probably also refers to "fearfully" as "awe". However, it wouldn't sound very good if the text read, "because I am awefully and wonderfully made...". That would be just awful! (Booo, hiss...take him off!) The point is, our bodies are amazing. Even the most simple things we take for granted are amazing. While I was mowing the lawn a couple of days ago, I came across a piece of metal in the lawn that my sons had so carefully placed (ahem). I bent down, picked it up and tossed it into a small box, not much bigger than the piece of metal, about six feet away. As I mowed on, I realized what an amazing thing just occurred. I didn't sit and analyze speed, distance, gravitational pull, and wind resistance in order to toss it in the box. I just...tossed it and it went in. The very fact that my brain could calculate the above variables in the blink of an eye, and send a message to my arm to use just the right force to throw, is an amazing feat of engineering. We are, indeed, wonderfully made. If you think about your body's abilities, a little healthy fear of God is understandable, and warranted. Does that help? |
