Understanding Biblical Language: Why God Does Not Get Angry
The human language of the Bible is entirely inadequate to express truths about God. Many descriptive words cannot be understood literally, such as God becoming angry. We must accept this limitation to have correct concepts about God and a deeper understanding of the Bible.

Orthodoxy and Biblical Inspiration
Did God dictate the Bible word for word? That idea makes inspiration easy to understand, but is very problematic, not to mention simplistic and naive. The ancient Christian view of the Fathers was deep, sophisticated, and reflected the highest regard for the human person.

Why Don't I Understand the Bible?
What makes a religious book "Scripture"? Why is the Bible sometimes hard to understand? Why is it called the "New Testament"? Why did the Fathers of the Church encourage reading of the Bible? Did people follow their advice, or did they just make excuses like we do?

The Great Commission and Rebaptism

Why Didn't the Risen Christ Appear to His Enemies?
Christ appeared to many people after the Resurrection, but only to his followers. Why didn't he appear to those who crucified him - to Pilate, Caiaphas, and the Sanhedrin? Wouldn't that be logical? Non-Orthodox sometimes say "God raised Jesus," but Orthodox never do. Why not?

Is the Body an Empty Vessel?
What is the body, and why does it matter what we do to it or with it after someone dies? Will you or someone else control your final destiny? The Church does not give cremation as an option. Why not? Why does the choice made for you by others at the end of your life matter?

Your Body, Your Soul and Your Salvation
We give little thought to the contribution of our body toward our salvation, but we will be raised for judgment in the body, through which and by which we either lived a godly life or not. Then we will experience heaven or hell with the body. The Holy Fathers will explain.

Could the Resurrection Be A Myth?
Atheists and doubters accused Christians of inventing the Resurrection, copying ancient mythologies of dead heroes or gods. But the Resurrection of Jesus is a historical event so dramatically different that is cannot be compared to anything that came before or since.

Defending the Resurrection, Exposing False Messiahs
