Q:

I was in the military for four and a half years. I deployed to the
mediterranean for six months in which i did not attend church. I was in
Italy and Greece and I had a problem finding one. When the
deployment was over i felt like i had lost interest but tried going back
anyway. I did miss service often. When i was discharged i came back
home and i havent been since. I felt discouraged before and now
having fallen back into a lifestyle that i should not be in im even more
discouraged. I started reading the bible again and doing research
trying to find out what i should do. My faith wasnt very strong before
and i see myself as being a hypocrite. I know that if i do not repent my
punishment will be harsh. I know that i need to go back to church and
change my lifestyle. What else should i do to be right with God again?

Q:

I notice you are very scrupulous about sticking exclusively to New
Testament practices. Where do you find your New Testament
guideline for use of the radio and Internet?

Q: [Note: this question was directed to Bro. Ronny Wade from one of
his tracts which appears on this website. View Ronny's tract]

Dear Mr. Wade,
One of my questions is on your comments re: women teaching. What
are your thoughts about the women who traveled with Paul teaching,
and the women (the 3 daughters) who were prophets, whom Paul also
knew. My other question is in regard to "The Good News". This is the
ministry of Christ. This is what the apostles taught and what the
disciples taught. Gods amazing grace, Gods mercy, Gods love for you
and I. What I see on your web site is what not to do, what to do, and
how wrong everyone else is. This gives the impression of legal lifestyle
which Christ freed us from. Getting so caught up in getting it all right is
quite a heavy burden which is why we were freed from that. Thanks for
your time. ~Shannon from Albuquerque, NM

Q:

I went with a friend to a Church of Christ some 20 years ago. I asked a
question to someone about the lack of musical instramentation. I didn't
get an answer similar to what I have found here. The answer had
something to do with some person in the old testament who played
some instrament and the sound annoyed or disturbed God in some
way or another. I would like to find that scripture again but have no
idea what it was. Can you help me with the chapter and verse(s)?

Q:

Brethren;
I appreciate your courage and love of the truth.
I am a member of a multi-cup congregation. I have always wondered
why you make such a distinction concerning the number of cups. Is it
not the content, not the container, that the Lord commanded to "drink
ye all of it"? Also, I have never heard of anyone being quite so careful
with the bread as you are of the cup - but does not the scripture
indicate that the loaf was singular by the word "it"?
(Mt.26:26)(Mk.14:22)(Lk.22:19)and (I Cor.12:24) I would hope that you
would be as concerned for the number of loaf(ves) used as you are for
the number of cups. I would appreciate your reply.

As always, in search of TRUTH,

Q:

In matthew 19:9 where Jesus speaks of fornication, It seems to me that
the church of Christ translates that into adultery. How can a married
person commit fornication? Was he not speaking of people who have
sex before they are married therefore a man may think he's getting a
virgin when he's not? Thank you for your answer.

Q:

I noticed in your video clip titled "good congregational singing" that
there was a song leader, song books, and that someone started with a
short do,me,so,do solo before the congregation sang, also during the
singing there were times when women only sang and there were times
when men sang only.. how is this "congregional" when not all are
singing all the time??... then I noticed at the conclusion of your video
clip there was a quartet singing while other members of the
congregation were visiting/listening/being entertained etc. Just curious
where the Bible instructs these items take place?? Please do not post
my name or e-mail address just respond back to me with specific book
chapter and verse instructions authorizing the above.
