Is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of the Father or the Spirit of the Son

Is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of the Father or the Spirit of the Son

Artisanal Bible Study

Who is the Holy Spirit? Is He the Spirit of the Father? Or maybe the Spirit of the Son? Does it matter? And is it “who” or “what”? So many questions! And it’s tempting to just ignore them. Or assume they don’t really matter. Just call it/him the Spirit of God and be done with it. And yet, the Holy Spirit is one of the three “persons” of God. And so, it is important to know what we can about Him.

Was casting lots really used to determine God's will?

Was casting lots really used to determine God’s will?

Artisanal Bible Study

Was casting lots really used to determine God’s will? Yes, it was really done. Before we assume this is like playing the dice in Vegas, we need to put ourselves back in time. Back to Biblical times. When God interacted more directly with His people. And dare I say, when God’s people interacted more directly with Him. So before we cast dispersions on the practice of casting lots, let’s look back.

Christians - what are you wearing?

Christians – What are you wearing? Your Sunday best?

Questions to ask ourselves, The Bible and "Real Life"

Christians – What are you wearing?  Your Sunday best?  Uh Oh.  Is this going to be about wearing clothes that are “appropriate” for Christians?  Like long dresses for women?  Suits and ties for men?  If that’s what you’re concerned about, don’t worry.  I’m talking about something else entirely. Well, sort of.  Something that really matters.  Something that makes a difference.

On this rock Part 2 - Justice and Love to the Ancient Ones

On this rock Part 2 – Justice and Love to the Ancient Ones

On this rock

It’s time to look at Justice and Love to the Ancient Ones. Remember, the ancient ones created our species. We had a lot to learn. Justice was important to the ancient ones, so they wanted us to share the same feeling about it. But justice, by itself, can be just as brutal as a world with no justice. And so, the ancient ones also taught us about love. But, it was a slow process.

What does God think of us? Do we care?

Questions to ask ourselves, The Bible and "Real Life"

What does God think of us? Do we want to know? For that matter, do we care? Like many writers, I use software to evaluate what I write, including the title. According to that software, the title of this one is positive. I can’t help but wonder, how many of us think it’s positive? How many of us, if we had the opportunity, would really want to hear what God thinks of us?

Does God always give us what we want?

Does God always give us what we want? That depends.

Questions to ask ourselves, The Bible and "Real Life"

Does God always give us what we want? The first version of this had a slightly shorter title. Someone asked, after reading it, whether the answer was yes or no. This time, I’ll give the answer away right upfront. It’s right there in the title. It depends. This means, therefore, the answer is no! Without even getting into the condition(s) upon which “it depends”, the answer must be no, since there is, in fact, at least one condition. Let’s find out about that condition.

Was Judas saved? Did God love him enough to forgive him?

Circumstances around Judas' death

Judas made the deal with the Jewish leaders that led to Jesus being arrested, and eventually dying on the cross. But, was Judas saved? Did God love Judas enough to forgive him? Those are questions that seem to come up quite a bit when talking about Judas. Of course, we won’t know for sure until the next life. After all, God can do anything, can’t He?
