Q & A part 2

Here is Part 2 of Q & A

What does the bible say about people marrying right after high school?

Lol not much since the idea of primary, junior high and senior high education was created centuries after the Bible but this is a good and important question. It doesn’t say anything about marrying right after high school but does say something about who to marry and knowing it’s who God wants for you. No matter what, you shouldn’t marry someone with different beliefs/relationship with God than you according to 1 Corinthians 7. In fact I would suggest reading that whole chapter with the subject in mind. 1 Peter tells guys to love and honor their wives. Girls, that is the man you want. 1 Peter tells women to obey the Bible and follow what their husbands say so that the husband can see Jesus in you. Guys, there’s a woman you want. I will say that studies have shown that the part of the brain that makes decisions isn’t fully developed until your into your 20’s. If I married who I liked in high school or middle school I would be in trouble right now. Yet there’s others who married the same person they liked since 3rd grade and live happy lives growing old together. If you can take on financial responsibility, receive parental recognition or others in the family, and they desire to put God 1st as you do, start then to think about marriage after high school after you have talked to a counselor, mentor, or pastor.

Do people lie about when the dinosaurs were around?

It seems that people lie because there are different theories. Some say they lived billions of years or millions of years ago. Those that believe the earth is just 1,000’s of years old say they couldn’t fit on the ark or the fossils we find are put there by the devil. One interesting theory for younger earth creationists (those that say creation was done by God more recent than 14,000 years) say that with people whom lived 900 years or so before the flood live less and less until recently also animals like reptiles would live longer. Reptiles already live longer than us and when they live longer they keep growing or get bigger. After 1,000 years a lizard could look like a stegosaurus if this theory was true.

Those that say dinosaurs have been around before humans will say that there was no God but just chance and a circle of life event taking place. Evolutionists or theistic evolutionists (evolution took place but God started it) believe this but I find it takes away from the sovereignty or all powerful, all knowing and all present nature of God. I will just say that the evidence is clear that dinosaurs have lived and we don’t see them anymore and the only answer may come when God answers questions for us after we die when we are in heaven…although its fun to have theories…

Is there a reason that no girls wrote a book of the bible?

A better question is: no girls that do ministry. The bible is important but 3 women were the first to find out Jesus was alive after the cross and they were the first to see him alive again. Esther in the bible saved an entire race of people while a woman worshipped Jesus, worshipped God with everything she had by anointing his feet in Luke 7:36-50 and the other men in the room thought she was stupid and Jesus said only she had God on the top of the pyramid or list that day in that room. It brings a smile to my face to think of all the women in 2,000 years that have done amazing things for God. One thing you could do is write a book in the bible. The New Testament in the bible was written by those who saw Jesus. Some believe Hebrews was written by a disciple of Paul, Priscilla whom was a woman but other than that women did so many awesome things and still are but like Esther not Mordecai saved the Jewish people by talking to the king and standing up to Hamaan, God had men instead of women write the books of the bible. Possibly though not 100% one women did but I encourage each young lady to find their gift or talent and use it for God in worship or doing it for nobody else but God.

Can you still go to heaven if you murder someone but ask God for forgiveness?

I answered this question earlier for the most part. If you ask God for forgiveness he will have justice and do the right thing since God the son, Jesus died so we could live by worshipping Him. But if you do it again I would question your motives. Some people have problems and need help. Most of the time only God can change a heart in this matter but if you keep doing or committing the same sin I would say God doesn’t forgive you just so you can mess up again. He will take you back. The only thing the Bible does say is that there is a point that only God knows where you get so caught up in yourself that you no longer worship or listen to God and He can’t get through to you. God is loving and shows mercy and grace. Grace is just mercy and forgiveness you don’t deserve. God doesn’t tolerate repeated sin forever. If you have relationship and not religion or just doing stuff to get you to heaven you will not murder. The result of a relationship with God is to start acting like God. Romans 12:2 says daily you read your bible and pray and get closer with your relationship with God so he can change your thinking. God will not tell you to do something he told you not to do. Now Jesus added in Matthew 5 that even hating or being angry with someone is like murdering them. Ask for forgiveness and your relationship built from prayer, bible, and talking with a follower of Christ for years will keep you from murder.
