This series of articles examines this idea, and shows that, when properly considered and understood, the Bible contains no such contradictions.<\/p>\n Contradictions in Scripture Lesson 1: Introduction<\/a> The book of Ruth is a fascinating love story in the Old Testament. Ruth was an ancestor of our Lord Jesus Christ, and is an example both of Godly submission, and of the care God has for everyone, even one considered a stranger in His land. The book of Ruth also contains many lessons that teach us more about our God and allow us to know Him better.<\/p>\n Ruth Part 1: The Tragedy of Elimelech<\/a>

\nSome people have the idea that we will not remember this life or the things that happened in it in the life to come. Certain Biblical passages are brought forward to support this idea. Is this true? What is the Biblical reality of remembrance in the afterlife?<\/p>\n
\n
\nThe prophet Elisha removed death from a poisoned pot of food. But can God remove death from this world?<\/p>\n
\n
\nBalaam the son of Beor is a mysterious character in the book of Numbers. Was he a real prophet? What drove him to disobey the LORD as he did? How did he come to his ignominious end?<\/p>\n
\n
\nConsidering what a privilege it truly is to be able to speak the word of God.<\/p>\n
\n
\nJehu\u2019s Way 2.<\/a>
\nIn I Corinthians 9:24-27, Paul talks about running in such a way as to obtain the prize. As an example of this, we consider the story of King Jehu from II Kings 9. He started to run well the race God gave him to run, but how did he end his race?<\/p>\n
\n
\nConsidering the Hebrew words for alcohol in the Old Testament and their usage, positive and negative.<\/p>\n
\nConsidering the Greek words for alcohol in the New Testament and their usage, positive and negative.<\/p>\n
\nSince the Bible speaks of alcohol both positively and negatively in both testaments, what should we conclude from this? What should our attitude toward alcohol be in our society and in our culture today? What stand should we as believers take regarding alcohol?<\/p>\n
\n
\nSteps to a Godly Maturity Steps 2 and 3<\/a>
\nComing to a place of Godly maturity in our daily lives is something that every believer who loves the Lord should earnestly desire. Yet how is it that we actually achieve a state of maturity in our relationships with Him? What will aid us in coming to that place, if we have not yet reached it?<\/p>\n
\n
\nIt might seem like a contradiction to us, but there is such a thing as \u201cChristian meditation.\u201d What is it? What kinds of things should we be meditating on?<\/p>\n
