What is the scope of God's will? Gods made us gods, to decide courses of actions independently by his will .. when He teach us to say <<and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us>>, He gave us power to choose between forgiven sins and unforgiven sins |

How does the Bible differentiate between sickness and sin? @DJClayworth: Not because they couldn't be sure. Just because this doesn't match the truth, when a sinner judges another sinner. Remember John 8. |

How does the Bible differentiate between sickness and sin? @DJClayworth: because they guessing; even if guessing is according with reality or not, the conforters cannot say the truth; sins of Job is not their job; same archangel says: "in the holy heavens no human deeds are evaluated in and of themselves, but only in the light of the sort of motives and quality of the will with which these deeds are performed" (tzarlazar.tripod.com/lazar08.htm) |

How does the Bible differentiate between sickness and sin? @DJClayworth: The "blindness from birth" of Bartimaeus is not a disease, is just a lack. Disease is when "life" is replaced with "death". God doesn't do this replacement. About Job, don't be so sure. In Orthodox tradition is known (an archangel says): he entered into a debate with the Creator (tzarlazar.tripod.com/lazar05.htm) |

What does the Bible say in regards to technological development? technological development proves doesn't serve the purpose of life, i.e. salvation of the soul .. it tends to push humanity into self-idolatry and same madness of babel tower .. at most, it can solve the issues raised by same technologised life |

How do we apply Matthew 12:25 Your question has a simple answer if you change the definition of healing. By example, healing is when somebody finds own soul. |

Does God control “demons”? If God controls demons, the demons are not demons .. every thing which come from God's will is not an evil thing, is always good .. sometimes demons make the God's will because they don't see the consequences of their acts as free spirits .. "God's control" can be seen, at most, in that He limits of the free will of these evil spirits to not control the will of others |

Keep the law OR nail to the cross? "keeping the Law" and "nailing the Law to the cross" does not contradict .. when somebody "takes his own cross", as God taught us, "the keeping Law" becomes easy, as a consequence of wearing cross .. because the heart is modeled by love of God, and the heart is place where sins can born; the big difference (which you see as contradiction) stand on spirit of the "law keeper" vs spirit of the "God lover" |

Are natural disasters the result of evil being allowed into our world? the life is so fragile (Is 40:15), only care of God can sustain it .. but sometimes when God turn his face from the world, because of the human sin, disasters happen .. also, the world is like a garden with herbs and fruits and thistles .. and sometimes, the Gardener need to clean it to not lose fruits and good seeds |

Where does one draw the line between spritiual attack and spiritual defense? You are in conflict .. KEEP CALM, JESUS IS COMING - but you feel angered .. you want "to share love of Christ" but your best friend is atheist .. the line between spiritual attack and spiritual defense is in your heart and mind .. KEEP CALM |

Is there a biblical basis/justification for requiring a pastor be educated? @MarcGravell Behind attitude "I know ...", "I can ...", "I want ..." can be one different than one you may think. Instead "I know ..." can be 1 Thes5.21. Instead "I can ..." you can think that you cannot carry the spoon with food to your mouth without help of God. Instead "I want .." you can think "What is best to do? What God expects from me?" When you make something, first thought should be: Luke17:10. You see? It's a different view. I believe, a wise one. |

How much did Paul's travels cost? In Tradition ("The teaching of Twelve Apostles") is known that the apostles didn't stay more than 2 days within a same place, by their will. Staying more than 3 days within is a sign to be a false prophet. |
