Is infant baptism biblical?
The Bible does not contain an explicit command or a direct example of an infant baptism. However, the ethical and theological justification for the practice, primarily held by Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, and Anglican traditions, is based on biblical principles of covenant and inclusion. Proponents argue that infant baptism (Paedobaptism) is the New Covenant counterpart to Old Testament circumcision (Colossians 2:11-12), symbolizing the child’s inclusion in the covenant community of God’s people. Opponents argue that baptism requires a prior, conscious profession of faith and repentance (Acts 2:38), which infants cannot provide, thus necessitating believer's baptism (Credobaptism). The difference is ultimately a matter of interpretation regarding the nature of the New Covenant.
What is the Prosperity Gospel, and should Christians listen to its prominent preachers?
The Prosperity Gospel (also known as the "Word of Faith" movement or "Health and Wealth Gospel") is a theological framework that teaches that God’s primary will for Christians is financial wealth and physical health. It asserts that believers can unlock these blessings through positive confession, visualization, and—critically—financial "seed-faith" giving. This message is problematic because it fundamentally distorts the true Gospel of Christ, replacing the biblical call to suffering and self-denial (Matthew 16:24) with a focus on earthly comfort and material gain. Christians should approach its prominent preachers with extreme caution, rigorously testing their teachings against the whole of Scripture.
What is the Holy Grail and is it a Christian relic?
The Holy Grail is a legendary artifact most widely identified in Christian tradition as the cup or chalice used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper (Luke 22:20) and later used by Joseph of Arimathea to collect Christ's blood at the Crucifixion. While the object is central to medieval Arthurian romance and is a famous cultural symbol, the concept of a single, powerful, miracle-working "Grail" is primarily a literary legend that emerged in the 12th and 13th centuries, not a doctrine established by the Bible or the early Church.
Should a Christian Always Support Israel?
The question of supporting Israel requires distinguishing between the Jewish people (God's chosen nation with irrevocable covenants) and the modern State of Israel (a political entity). While Christians are biblically mandated to bless and love the people (Romans 11:29; Genesis 12:3), our ultimate loyalty is to the Kingdom of God, which demands we pursue justice, kindness, and peace for all people (Micah 6:8; Matthew 5:9). Therefore, Christian support should be principled—affirming God's promises while challenging all parties toward righteousness.
What is the Biblical Role of Women in Church Leadership?
The biblical role of women in church leadership is debated between two views. Complementarianism affirms that women are restricted from the governing office of Elder/Pastor (1 Timothy 2:12; 3:2), but must serve in all other ministries. Egalitarianism argues that equality in Christ (Galatians 3:28) removes all restrictions, pointing to women like Phoebe (Romans 16:1-2). All traditions agree that women are indispensable ministers called to teach and exercise all spiritual gifts.
Can We Interpret the Bible to Fit in with Modern Society?
No, Christians should not interpret the Bible to fit modern society. To do so is to replace God's unchanging authority with human opinion. The Bible is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16) and its words will never pass away (Matthew 24:35). We are warned against distorting Scripture (2 Peter 3:16) or listening to what our itching ears want to hear. The Christian mandate is to find the original, fixed meaning of the text and conform our lives to its truth.
Should Church and State Be Separate?
A Christian affirms the separation of church and state as institutions to protect the Church's freedom and spiritual mission, based on Christ’s command to render to Caesar and to God (Matthew 22:21). The State has its distinct role of maintaining order (Romans 13:4). However, Christians must reject the separation of faith from public life, as they are commanded to be salt and light and advocate for biblical justice and morality in civil society (Matthew 5:13, 16).
Should a Christian Agree with Critical Race Theory?
A Christian must approach Critical Race Theory (CRT) with discernment. While CRT’s focus on systemic injustice aligns with the prophets who condemned institutional sin (Isaiah 3:14), its philosophical roots conflict with core doctrine. Specifically, the Bible teaches identity in Christ transcends race (Colossians 3:11), and sin is a universal heart condition (Romans 3:23), not just a structural power problem. The Christian mandate is to seek reconciliation through the Gospel (2 Corinthians 5:18).
Should a Christian Have Objective Morality?
A Christian must affirm objective morality, meaning certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of opinion. This standard is rooted not in cultural views but in the unchanging character of a holy God (Psalm 145:17). Subjective morality fails to account for the universal human conscience (Romans 2:14–15) and undermines universal human rights. The Christian's call is to pursue holiness by conforming their lives to this fixed, objective truth (1 Peter 1:15–16).
Why should anyone believe a fairy tale about a man in the sky?
The core of Christian belief is not a "man in the sky" myth, but a commitment based on three pillars: Historical evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:3–8), Philosophical Arguments (Cosmological and Moral) that reason toward a necessary Creator, and the Existential Fulfillment of human need for purpose, forgiveness, and hope.
