1 Timothy 5:8 says, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” I have always been surprised by this verse. How can not providing for oneself or family be worse than being without faith as an unbeliever? I am aware that 2 Thessalonians 3:10 applies to those that were becoming lazy and quit working while they were waiting for the rapture but I don’t know about the context of 1 Timothy 5:8.

Hebrews 12:17 and Hebrews 10:26 sounds like if you sin after accepting Christ as your savior that God won’t forgive you, even though you seek forgiveness with many tears. I sometimes ask for forgiveness over and over again for a particular sin. I just can’t get over this sin. Will Jesus forgive me?

I have a question about Abraham, Sarah and Hagar and God’s “role” in Hagar’s pregnancy. If he can see the future, and have control over it, like we see He did to let Jesus be born, why not just let Hagar NOT become pregnant? How much “control” does he really have – because look at all the troubles we have today with Islam?
