Ask Dr. E

Full Q: I've got a good one that came up in a small group tonight! In Proverbs (and probably many other places) why is wisdom a woman? It's obviously referring to Jesus in many ways. But regardless, why female?

Full Q: We are studying Romans. We were in chapter 2:1-16 today. The person leading today made an interesting comment. She said there are “degrees” of sin. Many tried to ask her to explain and a few tried to point out that the consequences are different but sin is sin in God’s eyes. She was using scripture but it was very confusing. What does God’s Word say about this and could you give me specific scriptures to study?

Full Q: I would love to know your thoughts about how we should take the series, The Chosen?  So many Christians, we know, are watching it and there have been over 400 million views worldwide.  We love the idea of Jesus and the Disciples going viral, but have a few problems with our kids seeing some of the creative additions, such as: Jesus appearing to practice, to get his words right, before having a sermon (he’s God right?) and Mary Magdalene being called Lilith. We’d like to support it, but also have reservations.

Full Q: I’ve heard a lot of people say “let Jesus take the wheel,” meaning Jesus takes control of your life and “steers” it where he wants. I have also heard someone compare it to Jesus being in the passenger seat. He tells you where to go, and you can either obey him or go your own way. I kind of feel like “Jesus take the wheel” isn’t realistic because you aren’t forced to obey him. What do you think? Which view is more realistic?

Full Q: I’m having a hard time with responding as to why I can’t attend a gay wedding… I have a friend that’s gay, she’s getting married and she’s invited me. I’ve declined, but she would like to know why I cannot attend… she’s not a believer. I stumble upon my words because I see from a worldly perspective how it can be interpreted as judgmental and non loving. I’m really struggling…she’s expressed to others that she’s hurt by the lack of support she’s receiving. I do not want to reflect anything other than Christ's love and I don’t feel peaceful with not addressing, any biblical guidance would greatly help! What are we called as Christian’s to do in these circumstances? How is her sin any different than the sins we commit daily?

Full Q: Are we able to see any of the stones of remembrance that the Bible talks about? I’ve always wondered if they have found piles of stones in the Holy Land that might be stones of remembrance.

Full Q: Is There a Possibility That God Created Life on Other Planets? And if so, would salvation look the same or would the life on that planet even receive salvation?

Question: "No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning".

"No one who continues to sin has either seen Him or known Him".

What does it mean when we repent from a sin (repeatedly) but just cannot seem to “shake it“, in light of these verses?

 I was conflicted recently hearing that "forgiveness is conditional"; that we are to forgive like God forgives, giving the scripture 1 John 1:9; that it would be unfair to Christ to forgive without the offending person repenting. Is forgiveness conditional?
