		<description><![CDATA[Short Answer: I&#8217;ll show you what the apostles taught, and then you decide whether that&#8217;s still valid for today. Explanation: The apostles certainly taught that baptism was essential.  Today, however, there&#8217;s a great deal of controversy over the topic.  I&#8217;ll try to keep this particular post very streamlined, however, since it could easily turn into [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=betterbibleanswers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6669486&amp;post=154&amp;subd=betterbibleanswers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short Answer: Assuming that &#8220;the curse&#8221; you&#8217;re speaking of is the one from Eden, nobody is living under that. Explanation: I know that many people believe that all of mankind was &#8220;cursed&#8221; on account of Adam and Eve&#8217;s sin, but it&#8217;s very hard to show that from the actual accounts of what happened.  Consider the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=betterbibleanswers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6669486&amp;post=133&amp;subd=betterbibleanswers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short Answer: There is no direct answer for this to be found in the Bible.  One&#8217;s answer to this question, therefore, will depend on:  1) what time he thinks it is, and 2) what he thinks the Bible is. Explanation: This is a very complicated question.  Let me spell out some possibilities.

		<description><![CDATA[Short Answer: Neither these titles nor the divisions they represent is inspired.  Therefore, we should be very careful about their connotations. Explanation: First about the &#8220;Testament&#8221;, and then about the title, &#8220;Bible&#8221;. It is important to understand that the two title pages, &#8220;Old Testament&#8221; and &#8220;New Testament&#8221; are not the work of any of the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=betterbibleanswers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6669486&amp;post=120&amp;subd=betterbibleanswers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short Answer: There are several ways. Explanation: Your question is very broad, and would require an entire book to answer, so I&#8217;ll be very brief. The first challenge in approaching this question is to be sure that we&#8217;re actually dealing with facts instead of error.  There is no field of endeavor known to man that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=betterbibleanswers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6669486&amp;post=105&amp;subd=betterbibleanswers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short Answer: Many have undertaken to invent proofs of this, but I&#8217;ve never seen a solid one.  There are other problems to consider here, though. Explanation: The typical argument goes something like this:  &#8220;Since there&#8217;s no example of the use of instruments in the New Testament worship, then we ought not to presume that God [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=betterbibleanswers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6669486&amp;post=101&amp;subd=betterbibleanswers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Short Answer: Not only is it doubtful, it&#8217;s impossible. Explanation: Let&#8217;s begin by looking at the passage you cite: 1 Corinthians 12:12  For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. The argument you cite goes something [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=betterbibleanswers.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6669486&amp;post=97&amp;subd=betterbibleanswers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
