There are many ideas about the Holy Spirit and His work that are widely believed but not taught in the scriptures. We want to look at some of the most common of these ideas, examine the scriptures that are used to support them, and see why those verses are taken out of context.

The holiness of God demands punishment for sin but also provides for our salvation. Let’s study about how God can be just while justifying sinners.

What does it mean that there is only one God? Who are included in God and what is Their work? In this article, we look at this idea.

Why did God create us? What is the purpose of life? Ecclesiastes has much to say on this subject. Towards the beginning of the book, Solomon writes this: What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us.

In the book of Genesis, we find that we were created in the image of God. Part of what this means is that God has given us some of the same nature that He has — God expects us to imitate Him. There is a common statement that I have heard: “To err is human, to forgive is divine.” The truth is that God gave us the wonderful ability to forgive just like He has and God expects us to forgive just like he does.

There are people throughout time who have looked at the suffering of good people and the “fulfilling” lives of evil people as evidence against the justice and mercy of God. For an example, look at conditions in Zimbabwe. President Mugabe is one of the richest men on earth but his people are starving and are tortured just to keep him in power.

Why isn’t He doing anything?”

Job's friends were arguing that Job must have done something sinful and that was why God was punishing him. Job maintained that he had not sinned and that God was not treating him fairly. Then Elihu begins speaking.
