  • “How Does This Angel Thing Work?”

    You mentioned two angels, Raphael and Uriel in this book of Epochs or something like that—why wasn’t it included in the Holy Bible? They were not included in the King James version nor the Roman Catholic kind? Could you pray to St. Michael to protect you or do you have to pray to Jesus Christ…

  • “What Makes You Better Than Others to Critique ‘Embraced by the Light’?”

    What makes Russ Wise or Probe Ministries greater than anybody else to say this is heresy or false teachings of God in his analysis of Embraced by the Light? What makes you better than anybody else? If you are really intelligent then you can analyze everything down to the “perfection of God.” There is no…

  • “Am I a Prude for Refusing to Endorse the Movie “Ratatouille”?”

    WARNING — this email contains a movie “spoiler”… My husband and I saw the G-rated Pixar movie Ratatouille. As a conservative Christian, I was troubled and saddened that an important element of the movie reveals that the garbage boy Linguini is the illegitimate son of the recently deceased chef Gusteau, who doesn’t even know he…

  • “How Can Dementia Turn a Mature Christian So Ugly?”

    I am worried by the behaviour of Christians I know who suffer from dementia. I have frequently seen them displaying racism, sexually suggestive behaviour, and generally rude and difficult behaviour unthinkable to their pre-dementia selves. How does this tie up with the idea of a Christian being transformed within? I am bothered by the thought…

  • “Is My Husband’s Cybersex Grounds For Divorce?”

    My husband has been having cyber sex. Sometimes there was a camera on the other end. Is this biblical grounds for divorce? Dear ________, I am so sorry. What a horrible betrayal you are feeling! I don’t know God’s definitive answer on this, but I do think that cyber sex and webcams are high-tech ways…

  • “Please Help Me – I’m Lost”

    Please help me, I’m lost. I’m in my 50s now and the question of life after death is on my mind a lot. I’ve been brought up a Methodist but stopped going to church when I was big enough to make my own decisions. . . . Being young, I lived for the moment and…

  • “How Do I Deal with the Guilt and Anxiety of Killing in War?”

      How do I deal with the guilt and anxiety of war? I helped kill and witnessed death first hand. I flew combat missions in Afghanistan and was shot at and shot up. I placed soldiers on the ground, many of whom were killed. I agreed to this path. I suffer from a great case…

  • “Do Animals Have Souls?”

    My name is C_____ and I am 13 years old in the 8th grade. A classmate told me she was a Christian but she didn’t believe some of what the Bible says. I asked her for an example and she told me that the Bible said that animals don’t have souls and how she believed…

  • “Why Didn’t God Just Throw Satan into Hell When He Rebelled?”

    Why did God allow Satan to deceive mankind for a certain time period? Why did He not just throw Satan into hell first after he rebelled? You’re right, we don’t know many things in the mind of God, but some wise people have pointed out that God has Satan on a leash (see the opening…

  • “t’s Not Fair to Punish People with Hell for Believing What They Were Taught to Believe”

    If all people are following the teachings of what have been taught to believe, how can any be punished? By punishment, I mean that some religions (Christianity) claim that if you don’t believe what they believe, you will go to hell. Good question! Two aspects to my answer: first, this question is coming from a…
