This one came into tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com at just the right time. I have been doing a reading marathon and just finished six books on quantum physics in the last three weeks with two more to go. I love science, the Bible, and the Lord so this question tends to come up in private discussions from time [...]
Here’s one that came in from a friend recently. I expect my answer to thoroughly annoy or anger some folk. Oh well… I was getting too comfortable anyway. There is a lot of talk right now about the end of times, and a lot of our friends are premillenialists. Could you give a brief overview [...]
I am down to the last ten questions at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com and will switch gears for a time if more don’t come in soon. But don’t think you have to makeup new ones… or bizarre ones… to keep me busy! Here is one that we haven’t addressed before: Is there a difference between ‘soul’ and ‘spirit’? [...]
In the same vein as the last blog, this question comes from the same individual, a chaplain in the US Army. I knew the Captain when he was a very young man and was thrilled when I heard he had gone on to get higher education and then volunteered to serve as a source of [...]
I am starting to get some marriage and family questions coming in at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com along with the usual theological ones. If it is all right with the readers of this blog, I will answer some of them. In the meantime, another question came in about demons that has a couple of angles we didn’t address [...]
This one came in last week at teentpegsquestion@yahoo.com and really got my attention. I think it will intrigue you, too. A very good friend of mine announced a year or so back that — after having grown up in the Churches of Christ, attending ACU, being active in a church singles group as an adult, [...]
This one came into tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com and while it is a long question, it is an important one. I invite comments, as always, and ask that discussion of this be free, irenic (that means kind, peaceable, and loving, by the way), and pithy (that means “brief”). Hi Mr. Mead, I’ve been keeping up with your Tentpegs [...]
This came into tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com and reminds me that even when I think I’ve covered something… maybe there is more to be said. In the gospel of John, Jesus promises that whatever believers ask in his name will be done. Yet, we don’t see this happening. I’m not talking about asking for wealth or fame or [...]
[a person left a long, personal letter in the comment section yesterday. She intended it to only be seen by me. Usually, the software does not allow first comments to be posted until I approve them but this one slipped through. She alerted me and I removed it immediately. If you read her comments, please [...]
The pool at tentpegsquestion@yahoo.com is getting pretty shallow. That is fine. If it dries up, Tentpegs will go on to other things or fade away and let my other blog carry the weight. If it fills us again, we can (try to) answer the questions as they come in. Several have come in recently that [...]
