Questions

What are your thoughts on eloping? (2:20)

I recently went through the 10 Most Misunderstood Verses in the Bible study on RightNow Media. I love to share Scripture with people in cards and want to be careful not to misuse the verses I share. How can I be sure I am sharing Scripture accurately and not misrepresenting what certain verses actually mean? (6:20)

Referencing 1 Chronicles 21, was it a sin for Joab to conduct the census, knowing well that it was a sin for David to order one? Then as a follow up, how should we handle instances where an earthly authority demands something immoral or sinful? (13:40)

I was reading Isaiah 65 and I think verses 17-25 are about the new heavens and the new earth, which I think is a reference to heaven. If that is the case, I am confused by the second half of verse 20. In the NIV it says, “he who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth; he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.” I thought there would be no more death in heaven. And how would there be anyone accursed there? (19:25)

What kind of stone were the 10 commandments written on? I came across this article (and many others like it) and I am simply mind blown! Is there a lot of evidence to support they were written on something other than sapphire? (24:40)
