Full Question: My name is Samuel and I’m taking an evangelism class. One of our assignments was to role-play a believer and unbeliever with someone. I was playing the believer, and the lady playing the unbeliever asked me, ‘What does it mean that Jesus is the Lord of your life?’ I didn’t know how to explain that without using ‘Christianese’ like ‘get saved’ How should I answer that, and what are some other questions from unbelievers that Christians might struggle with?

Full Question: Acts 15:5 says: “But some believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees rose up and said, ‘It is necessary to circumcise them and to order them to keep the law of Moses.” Since these ‘believers’ thought that salvation came by faith in Christ plus being circumcised and following the Law, were they really saved?

Full Question: I’ve started studying the temptation of Christ, focusing on the Scripture Jesus uses to rebuke Satan. The first verse, from Deuteronomy 8:3, was longer than I expected and includes more than just the reference to bread. However, I’m really stuck on the second verse Jesus quotes: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve’; (Luke 4:8). All my Bibles reference Deuteronomy 6:13, but that verse says, ‘You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him,’ not ‘worship’. Why would Jesus change the wording? Is it the same Hebrew word, and if so, why isn’t it translated the same way? I’m curious because I think understanding the correct terminology is important, especially since I’m studying Jesus’ response to apply it to my own struggles. I’d love to hear your thoughts—you know way more about this than I do!

Full Question: Deuteronomy 17 mentions not taking many wives so we are not led astray.  Where does it direct to have just one wife?  It seems in the Old Testament that men are allowed to have more than one wife but women must be monogamous.
