Ask A Question

Expertise

I can answer questions regarding acceptable worship, organization of the church, or any apsect of the Christian life. I am the son of a preacher and have studied the Bible from cover to cover since I was 12 years old. I am strong in my research skills and do not follow teachings of men. Many will label me as conservative and some might label me as liberal, but I just seek to be biblical. I understand proper exegesis and hermeneutics and apply them. My desire is to share my knowledge of God's Word with others. Please always keep in mind that none of us who are listed as experts here are divinely inspired and therefore it is possible to get incorrect answers from any one of us. Study the Scriptures and decide for yourself if what is taught is true.

2009-10-17 musical instruments:

Members of the Lord's church are able to listen to any sort of music they enjoy so long as the lyrics are clean. There is no restriction to be found in the New Testament for Christians regarding music

2009-10-05 Demons:

Hi Eliud, I do not believe demon possession still happens today and so a Christian cannot be possessed by demons either. I believe all super-natural things ended in the first 100 years after the church
