Why is Wisdom a Woman in Proverbs?
Q: I’ve got a good one that came up in a small group tonight! In Proverbs (and probably many other places) why is wisdom a woman? It’s obviously referring to Jesus in many ways. But regardless, why female?
Q: Why did God create people who would reject Him?
“If we say that God created man to destroy him, we make God capricious and malevolent. If we say man has complete free will, we brush up against the doctrine of election/predestination. We can’t take a sovereign God’s view of man and say, “why did He send him to hell/why did He send him to heaven?”
God is not capricious or malevolent. We’re all headed to hell. Christ comes along and offers salvation, and some respond by faith. Those who respond by faith are the elect. Nowhere in the Bible does it tell us how to identify the elect. It tells us to make disciples of all ethnos.”
Mentioned:
Romans 9:17-24, Genesis 1:27

Q: My Bible study leader told us that there are degrees of sin in God’s eyes? Is this true? Are there different levels of sin?
Q: I would love to know your thoughts about how we should take the series, The Chosen? We love the idea of Jesus and the Disciples going viral, but have a few problems with our kids seeing some of the creative additions.
