First Corinthians 3:10-15 is a difficult portion of scripture. Calvinists contend that the passage teaches that though a child of God may suffer temporally for sins, he can never so sin as to be lost eternally. But what does this context really teach? Study this matter with us.

God determines who is to be identified as a Christian; he has not assigned that responsibility to us.

The incident in 2 Kings 2:23-24 of Elisha, the bears, and the mocking lads has been cited by atheists in an attempt to involve the Bible in moral difficulty.

Why are all those lists of names in the Bible?

May the guilty person in a divorce because of fornication remarry?

It is sometimes claimed that the Bible is inconsistent in its theology in that it claims infallibility for the apostles’ teaching, yet acknowledges they made mistakes in their personal lives. How does one address this alleged difficulty?

Why do some want the Ten Commandments posted in public places, when the New Testament teaches that the law was a ministration of death?
