I hate to differ with you, but may I gently explain that Jesus did not speak of hell more than He spoke of heaven. This is a common, unexamined phrase that nearly every pastor and Bible teacher repeats, but it is wrong. According to Strong’s Concordance, there are 104 verses associated with...

Very sadly, yes. If you have not heard it said, it is absolutely true that Jesus talked more about Hell than Heaven. His word for Hell was Gehenna. That was a word for the permanently burning dump outside of Jerusalem where the garbage and the dead bodies of poor people were flung. Here is the...

I do not know of an instance where somebody was born demon possessed. But sometime during their life - even during their youth (Mark 9:21-24) they were possessed. The "how" is a good question. I believe it is by invitation (although typically ignorant of what is being invited). When people...

God has simply taken something that is common to men and used it as a pattern for a greater truth so we can understand him. I think that is wisdom. He surely isn't constrained by time but we are. So God uses the pattern in our realm to prefigure his work. So, here is an example of both a week...
