A
      Abortion
                         God says it's murder, which is a sin worthy of eternity in the Lake of Fire(Galations 5: 19-21.  God knew us                                       and formed us while we were still in our mother's womb(Isaiah 44: 2).  If a person believes that abortion is
                                good, then they ought to practice what they preach, and start by having themself aborted to prove what they
                                believe.
                            As for anti-abortionists who kill doctors that perform abortions; the means to their ends is ineffective.  First of
                                all, abortion is like illegal drugs.  If you take one drug dealer off the street, there's a hundred more that may
                                take their place.  The problem isn't the drug dealer as they're business people out to make a profit.  The real
                                problem is the drug user that creates the market.  Likewise, killing one doctor isn't going to stop the thousands
                                of pregnant woman who have decided to murder their child.  These women will simply go find another doctor.
                                Irregardless of the hundreds of clinics that stopped providing abortions due to the extremists, those women
                                found another clinic that will.
                                What is more effective is not waste time and energy on terrorizing those that are determined to kill children, but
                                influence mother's that would change their mind and keep their child.  One Christian group has created a
                                ministry of providing free ultrasounds to mothers contemplating abortion.  Once these mothers see their babys
                                picture on a screen, they see a human life and decide to keep their child. 
                                If the extremists would invest the same amount of energy in a constructive manner, they'd actually save lives
                                and families, rather than killing lives and destroying families.
                                Another great service is the adoption option!  If a woman is determined not to be a mother to her child, then
                                she can let a husband and wife who are unable to have children of their own, raise that child as their own.              Accountability
                                  Accountability is letting someone watch out for you.  They keep an eye on you and warn you when
                                           you're doing something wrong, and encourage you to do what's right.  As Christians, we have the
                                           Holy Spirit to keep an eye on us, and we have the scriptures to reference; but a three fold cord is not
                                           easily broken.  So having another believer to be accountable to, completes the ingredients to living the
                                           fulfilling life that Jesus wants for us.
      Advice
                     Advice is easy to give, but hard to take back.  Think twice before giving it.  If you don't know how to solve a
                           problem, you should seek advice from someone that has their life together and is wise.  Learn from others
                           mistakes, and you won't have to learn it yourself the hard way.  Do not ask for advice from someone whose life                                 is messed up, or you're life will end up worse than theirs.  It's like the blind leading the blind.
        Addictions
                          If you're addicted to drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, or whatever is controlling you, rather than you being
                                 in cotrol of yourself, Jesus can help you.  Most of the time we can free ourselves from our addictions by
                                reducing or eliminating our access to them.  We can stop hanging around those bad "friends", or get rid of the
                                source of the addiction.  Get away from the source, by moving to so and so's house and going "cold turkey".
                                But when nothing else works, Jesus can do a miracle for you and help you to cope with the addiction, or even
                                miraculously remove the addiction for you.        
     Antichrist
                          What is the anti-Christ?
                                                             The opposite and possibly the equivalent of what Jesus was to God.  The anti-
                                                                             Christ may in a sense be the son of Satan, and may or may not be a clone of
                                                                             someone which would make him a human without a soul and possessed by
                                                                             Satan.  For him to sit in the Jewish temple and proclaim himself to be God, it's
                                                                             assumable that it might be Satan possessing a body.
                          Who is the anti-Christ?
                                                            A European.  The small horn that rises up to rule the other nine(Daniel chapter 7).                                                                             So he may be directly or indirectly in the EU.
                          Where is the anti-Christ? 
                                                               According to the Catholic movie trilogy "The Omen", Damien was raised by a
                                                                               rich and successful man who owned a company whose slogan was something
                                                                               to the effect of "feeding the world".  Coincidentally, there's a company whose
                                                                               slogan is "supermarket to the world"-ADM.  Another business has the slogan
                                                                               "Quietly conquering the world of finance"- Barclay's.  Not necessarily that these
                                                                               two examples are directly or indirectly involved with the anti-Christ, but it
                                                                               would be this type of mentality that the aniti-Christ will rise up from.  When the
                                                                               UFO's attack(read UFO article below), they will proclaim that this great new
                                                                               leader has been doing all these great things behind the scenes all these years
                                                                               and has a proven track record and is now on the scene to bring "order from
                                                                               chaos".  There's a possibility that he may not know who he is going to be yet.
                                                                               So trying to locate him may be next to impossible.
B
      Backsliding
                            Backsliding is a biblical term used from the Old to the New Testament to describe when a person stops
                                    serving God.  If you are backslidden, Jesus is waiting for you to come back to him with his arms wide open
                                    (Luke 15: 11-32).  But you better hurry, because Jesus is coming back soon, and you'll get left behind to
                                    suffer God's wrath upon the world.
         Baptism
                       What is baptism?
                                                        Baptism is having another Christian immerse you in water(beach, river, lake, bath tub, etc.)
                                                        basically saying "I baptise you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost(
                                                        Matthew 28: 18-20), which symbolizes the fact that a new Christian has buried their sinful
                                                        life and has ressurected as a new person that will now serve God(Ephesians 4: 22-24). 
                             Does baptism save us? 
                                                                  NO!  Mark 16: 16 says "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
                                                                  believeth not shall be damned."  The emphasis is placed on "believeth" for salvation or
                                                                  damnation.  Baptism however, is left as a secondary issue.  Jesus even told one thief
                                                                   that hung on the cross next to him that today thou shalt be with me in paradise.  Just a
                                                                   few moments before his death, he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior without an
                                                                   opportunity to get baptized, but was promised salvation by Jesus himself.  More
                                                                  important than this one time symbolic aquatic gesture; is to be baptized "with the Holy
                                                                  Ghost and with fire."(Luke 3: 16).  Many people profess to be Christian(Titus 1: 16),
                                                                  but few are guided by the Holy Spirit and are zealous Jesus freaks.  Not being a Holy
                                                                  Spirit filled zealous Jesus freak will land you into the Lake of Fire for eternity(Revelation
                                                                  3: 15-16). 
          Begging
                       Should I give to beggars? 
                                                                    In general . . . NO!  2 Thessalonians 3: 10 says "For even when we were with you,
                                                                    This we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat."  The
                                                                     majority of beggars refuse to be told what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.
                                                                     They enjoy their freedom.  Others are simply too lazy to work.  Some are just so                                                                               emotionally disturbed that they need to be institutionalized. There is however a few                                                                            that just had a catastophe, and simply need a hand up to get back on their feet.
                                                                     Most responsible people who need help, are usually the ones putting in applications
                                                                     and taking any job they can get, and then work their way up again. So use wisdom
                                                                     before giving them anything, and interogate them to find out the truth.
           Bi-racial marriage in the Christian church?
                                                                                 This seems to be a taboo subject in the Christian church.  You
                                                                                                      will probably never hear a sermon on it, as few even want to
                                                                                                      even acknowledge the subject.  No one seems to want to make
                                                                                                      an issue of it for fear of controversy, or even worse, breaking
                                                                                                      their own conscious or subconscious racial beliefs.  God did not
                                                                                                      create races, he only created languages.  See "racism".  One
                                                                                                      attitude of many believers is that you'll have problems from
                                                                                                      being in a bi-racial marriage.  Surprise!  We're going to be
                                                                                                      persecuted anyway just for being a Christian . . . Hello!
                                                                                                      (Matthew 10: 22).
         Bibles
                    What is a bible?    A bible is a Christian's owners manual.  It's God instruction manual for his servants to follow.
                                                      The bible consists of an old manual contract and a new manual contract.  We live according to
                                                      the new contract, yet read the old testament to learn how God thinks, and what happens to
                                                      those who trust and obey God, and what happens to those who don't obey God and believe in
                                                      him.
                         Which bible version should I use? 
                                                                               The King James Version is the universal standard for the English speaking
                                                                               language.  According to G.A. Riplinger's video "NEW AGE BIBLE
                                                                               VERSIONS" it's "An exhaustive documentation exposing the message, men,
                                                                               and manuscripts moving mankind to the antichrist's one world religion".
                                                                               The video goes on to mention that the KJV bible is easier to understand.
                                                                               According to a Jack Chick(Chick Tracts) article, a study was done which
                                                                               concluded that believers who read the KJV bible tend to memorize much
                                                                               more scriptures than believers who read other bible versions.
                                                                               From personal experience, if you use versions other than KJV; Jehova's
                                                                               Witnesses will ask you which version you use, and if you use something else,
                                                                               they can have you read a scripture from the other version to confuse you as to
                                                                              the virgin birth of Jesus(The NIV says in Luke 2: 43 "and his father and mother"                                                                                  as a statement of fact from Luke, while the KJV says "Joseph").  Verse 48 is a                                                                                  just statement coming from a loving parent whose spouse adopted Jesus as his                                                                                   step son).
            Bigfoot
                       Is bigfoot real?   
                                                         Although there's no conclusive evidence that they exist, as far as having a live or dead
                                                         specimen on hand to remove all doubt; the probability is very high.  Bigfoot, is not another
                                                         species or the missing link as many believe.  Bigfoot is just another human.  In Mexico, there
                                                         are twin brothers who perform acrobatics in a traveling circus.  They are known as "the
                                                         wolf boys" because they are thoroughly covered with hair.  All you can see is their eyes and
                                                         mouth.  God intentionally designed us to have variations for adaptive survival.  Well, through-
                                                         out the history of man, and even biblical history( Jacob and Essau) there have been hairy
                                                         people.
                                                              There is "The story of feral children" which means wild children which usually grow up
                                                         being raised by wild animals. 
                                                              Since the native American indians have known about bigfoot before hoaxes began; bigfoot
                                                         may have been a different native tribe, perhaps arriving before the indians arrive on the
                                                         continent.  Perhaps, the parents died before they could teach their children their language; yet
                                                         they managed to survive.  It's also possible that they were descendents of the indians. 
                                                         However, being different has it's social price.  Being socially rejected, the parents may have
                                                         moved into the forest to protect their family from ridicule and rejection.  The parents may
                                                         have abandoned their hairy child altogether in the forest.  It's also possible that the hairy
                                                         young man went into self appointend isolation to avoid the pain of rejection.  America has
                                                         been full of "mountain men" who were hermits.  So it's no miracle for a hairy person to live
                                                         in the forest without the need of clothing.
                                                              Recently, there were television shows which did reports on a monkey girl also known as                                                              "spider woman"  This girls
                                                         parents were missionaries in a jungle that had monkeys.  With monkeys as her main source of
                                                         playmates, she did what any other child does, she began to play.  Through the years of
                                                         climbing trees with her monkey friends, her arms adapted to the daily workout.  Her arms
                                                         grew longer than other girls her age, her hands, arms and fingers became much stronger than
                                                         boys her age.  As a young lady, they showed her in a rock climbing competition where she
                                                         beat the best rock climbing men around.  She literally climbed that thing like a monkey.  This
                                                         is solid evidence how humans can adapt to their unique environments.  Bigfoot walks 1000's
                                                         of miles a year through all kinds of terrain in all kinds of extreme weather.  So why is it hard
                                                         to believe that he's got a fur coat, long strong arms, long strong legs with a wide stride, very
                                                         muscular over all, and a domed head?  Many species of animals give birth to fully functional
                                                         offspring that can walk, run or swim within seconds, minutes or hours after birth as it's a
                                                         requirement for survival.  Bigfoot had to be larger at birth to survive the elements.  This would
                                                         explain the domed head, as just before labor, babies turn and face head down in the uterus
                                                         to allow for a head first birth.  That extra added weight on a soft skull in a v-shaped exit tube
                                                         would give any human a cone head.
                                                              As far as procreation, when a hairy man gets amorous, he may have kidnapped a woman. 
                                                         It's also possible for it to have been a "beauty and the beast" scenario.  The original bigfoot
                                                         may have sweet talked his girl into leaving society with him. 
                                                              The logic behind all this being that the bigfoot population is too small to find them.  There
                                                         may never have even been a population of bigfoot; but maybe only one at a time on an
                                                         un-continuous basis.  
                                                        Yet, due to the "testimony affect"(C) 2006 QnA2Z.com, we can't help but to acknowledge so
                                                         many people witnessing sightings.  With sightings, foot prints, odors, etc., the evidence
                                                         points to a human.  Only a human is bipedal, smells so bad, is smart enough to elude other
                                                         humans, and has five toes, and has human facial expressions.
                                                              In one indian tribe, he is described as "hairy man", and not a hairy bear, or another animal,
                                                         but a MAN (that is also hairy and big).  Another tribe with pictographs on big rocks
                                                         paints a picture of a human family with a father, mother and child; but really big and very
                                                         hairy. 
                                                              As for the most famous footage of a bigfoot being digitally stabilized; you will notice that
                                                         bigfoot's buttocks is also stabilized while taking those long strides.  Which is a solid indicator
                                                         of it being an ape suit hoax.  It is obvious they used too much padding on the back.
                                                              Lastly, in the bible; Jesus came across a demon possessed man who lived in the wild, who
                                                         was rejected by society and chained up to protect himself from the demons inside of him; but
                                                         the demons would control him and break the chains off him.  There are also many tribes                                                                     around the world that practice witchcraft.  It is possible, that bigfoot may be a demon
                                                         possessed or demonically influenced man, family, or tribe.  Demons are territorial and use fear
                                                         to maintain dominance over their territory.  Bigfoot, definately is a picture of a nightmare.
           Bishops
                       Scripturally, there isn't much information provided to describe the status and responsibilities of a bishop.
                             Qualifications are mentioned in several scriptures, as far as being above reproach.  They are to be apt to teach
                             and to take care of the church.  When the bible translators chose a word that people of their time could relate to
                             they chose the catholic term of bishop.  It was the closest known role at the time.  So a bishop could be an
                             an assistant to an apostle until the apostle left temporarily or permanently and would continue handling watching
                             the many churches to make sure they were on the right track.  Another arrangement would have been for there
                             to be several bishops under one apostle and each bishop would oversee a region of churches under that one
                             apostle.  This provided a chain of command just like God had advised Moses to do when he became over
                             burdened managing all the Jews by himself.  So he chose leaders over tens, over 20's, over 50's, over 100's to
                             lighten his load.  So when a pastor ran into a matter that he could not handle; he'd go to his local bishop for
                             for assistance.  Why Christian churches do not utilize this title, would be an issue worth investigating.  The only                                  religions that use the title boldly are Baptists and Catholics.
          Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
                                                                    Some people say it's knowingly denying or defying God.  Yet, Jesus said
                                                                                       it's the only unforgivable sin.  The only sin that is unforgivable is to simply
                                                                                       reject Jesus.  Now, Lucifer obviously blasphemed the Holy Ghost by
                                                                                       basically saying that he was God.  But, even if a human were to claim to
                                                                                       be God, then later repent and become born-again, they'd definately go to
                                                                                       Heaven.  But if someone never claimed to be God, yet rejected Jesus,
                                                                                       they would not be forgiven and would be sent to Hell.
          Born-again
                              You better be!
                                                     John 3: 3 says we can't go to Heaven unless we are born-again.  Verses 4-6 explain
                                                                   that we are born into a physical body at birth and are selfish and concerned with the
                                                                   physical world.  However, we need to be born into the spirit and put God and our
                                                                   neighbor before ourselves, and to be focused on the spiritual realm.  Ephesians 4: 22-
                                                                   5: 5 goes into more detail about changing your life completely around from what it
                                                                   used to be.  Romans 10: 9-10 says that if we verbally call Jesus our master and the
                                                                   one who can save us from Hell because he died for our sins and rose from the dead,                                                                        then we will be saved through faith and our verbalizing it.
C
         Church
                      What is church?   According to Matthew 18: 20 and Hebrews 10: 25, it is any group of two or more                                                                          believers that assemble together in the name of Jesus.  Church is not a place or a building.

                            Where is church?  Luke 5: 19, Acts 2: 2, Acts 28: 30-31 all tell us that the New Testament model of where
                                                              church was held at was in the pastor or apostle's home.  Read the article "House Church"
           Christian
                              What is a Christian?  Disciples of Jesus Christ.

                              Why are we called Christians?  Acts 11: 26, Acts 26: 28, 1 Peter 4: 16 tells us that we as believers are                                                                                           called Christians.  Although the name was given by man, God endorsed                                                                                           its use by using it in the New Testament three times.
            Circumcission
                                It was only meant for the Jews before the death and resurrection of Jesus.  Doing that to your son
                                          today should be considered child abuse.  God provided that extra skin for a reason.  It provides
                                          necessary protection.  Just teach your son how to wash himself properly, and he won't have any
                                          problems.  1 Corinthians 7:19
            Condemnation
                                  If you're a born-again Christian and you've sinned; don't let Satan or yourself condemn you and make
                                           you feel unworthy to get back up, repent of that sin and keep serving God.  Yes, it was a terrible sin,
                                           but if you confess that sin to Jesus and stop, or at least try to stop commiting that sin, God will forgive
                                           you and even help you if you ask for help to stop if you are not strong enough to do it on your own(                                                  1 John 1: 9, John 16: 24).
         Covering
                         Should women wear a covering?
                                                                         It wasn't meant to be a hat or a cloth as some ignorant doctrines teach,
                                                                                            but it was meant to be as under the authority of . . . 
                                                                                            The context mentions that even men are to be under the authority of.
                         The covering of the church?
                                                                  Many institutional churches take this out of context and think that they can
                                                                                   replace the Comforter.  A believer can survive without the church, but
                                                                                   cannot survive without the Comforter.
         Crime
                    When our nation finally transistions to a cashless society, there will be a significant decrease in the crime rate.  Yet,
                         credit cards, debit cards, and drivers licenses will still permit much of the crime.  See "Mark of the Beast" below.
        Curses
                    A curse is a method of punishment, revenge, or prevention from a spiritual source such as from God, or from a
                         demon called upon by God or by another human.  Curses can be stopped by repenting from a sin, or by starting to
                         serve God.
D
        Dedication of children
                                              Many religions that thrive on the ignorance of their people practice baptism of infants.  The
                                                          teaches us that after people repent of their sins, they should get baptized.  Infants cannot
                                                          repent as they have no concept of right or wrong.  Which is why we dedicate our children to
                                                          the Lord.  In other words, we are telling Jesus that we will raise our child the way he wants us
                                                          to.  Judges 13: 12 says how to "order" the child.  The idea is to make a decision to raise your
                                                          child in the ways of the Lord.
        Demons
                      Demons are the dummies that were angels in Heaven and had it made, got greedy and got kicked out of Heaven.                               Now they follow the dumbest angel in trying to get everyone else to spend eternity in the Lake of fire with them.

                           How do demons travel?
                                                        Demons can walk on the Earth as we do, they can walk through walls and even
                                                                      through the Earth inside and out(Job 1: 7).  One time, God cast Satan and his
                                                                      demons down to Earth at the speed of light(Luke 10: 18).  Demons can possess
                                                                      animals and possibly insects in order to get around faster(Luke 5: 8-14).  Demons
                                                                      can also go to Heaven to meet with God(Job 1: 6); it's assumable that they would
                                                                      have to walk to Heaven as the word "came" was used.  The logistics of time and
                                                                     space would explain why they don't make the trip very often; but for special occasions
                                                                   If demons can walk, we can assume that they can also run as we do.  Unlike us, they
                                                                     can run without needing to stop for rest as they are spirits.  If a demon can travel in
                                                                     in a living organism, they can probably also hitch a ride in a car, bus , train, plane,
                                                                    satellite, asteroid, etc.
                           What does a demon look like?
                                                                  Forget all the cartoon pictures you've seen of a red man with horns, a long                                                                                         arrow tipped tail, and holding a pitch fork.  These are simply villanized
                                                                                   assumptions.  "Son of the morning" was Lucifer's nickname(Isaiah 14: 12);
                                                                                   To be associated with the morning, he'd have to be beautiful and bright.  If
                                                                                   Satan's original sin was pride from his beauty and talents; then chances are
                                                                                   his demons were probably also beautiful and talented to cause their heads
                                                                                   to swell with pride.
                                                                                        On Earth however, people have seen demons as shadows floating out of
                                                                                   their windows at night.  Others have seen nothing, yet experienced them,
                                                                                   which means they can remain invisible to the physical world as they are
                                                                                   spirits.  Still, others have visually seen Satan himself.  One man stated that
                                                                                   after waking up and seeing Satan at the foot of his bed, said "oh, it's just you
                                                                                   again" and went back to sleep.  This man obviously dealt with Satan before
                                                                                   directly and knew Satan's powers and knew God's powers and that Satan
                                                                                   could do nothing to him without God's permission.
                                                                                        Demons are most known for possession, so you may be talking to a
                                                                                   living human that was stupid enough to let a demon possess them.  So
