Immanuel
Friday, July 05, 2013Are Jesus and God the same person? If so, where does it say that in the Bible?Sincerely,
Asking For I.D.
Dear Asking For I.D.,
Yes, Jesus is one of the Godhead. Jhn 1:1-2 states that the ‘Word’ is God, and Jhn 1:14 makes it clear that Jesus is the ‘Word’. There are three members of the Godhead – Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit (Matt 3:16-17). Jesus makes it clear that He is eternal (Jhn 8:58) and the Creator of all things (Col 1:15-16).

Hang Up The Phone
Thursday, July 04, 2013I have been talking to this guy for about seven months now. We live in different cities. I have fallen in love with him, and he has with me, too. Here is the problem: he is married, but the two have never lived in the same house, shared debts, supported each other, and her family has him followed and is always putting him down. Yes, they have had relations, and he wants a divorce but doesn't believe he has biblical grounds to do so. Does he have grounds to divorce her and marry me (which is what he wants to do in his heart, but he is afraid that if we do, then we are committing adultery, but he already has done that in his heart and isn't sorry that he has fallen in love with me)? I need help fast.Sincerely,
Not His Wife
Dear Not His Wife,
He has absolutely no grounds to divorce her, and any level of romantic relationship that you two share is sinful and dangerous. Regardless of the state of his marriage… he is married. The fact that he has been rationalizing an extramarital affair for the last seven months hasn’t made it right. It is important to realize that following your heart isn’t the same as doing the right thing (Pr 12:15). In fact, doing the right thing is often a matter of doing the exact opposite of what we want to do (Matt 16:24).
If you choose to willfully sin, your soul is in eternal peril (Heb 10:26). The best thing you can do for yourself and for him is to cut this relationship off. There are many wonderful men in this world that you may pursue that won’t send you to hell.
