The Bible Line March 10, 2026

Natalie, Jonesboro, AR -  What is the best Biblical stance on birth control? How can we prove having more than one wife is wrong?

Jesse, Washington DC -  Among pro-life Christians, there seems to be a large divide over how the law should treat a mother who has had an abortion. Some view the mother as a victim and that she should not be held legally responsible if she obtains an abortion in a state where it is against the law, while others want equal legal protections for the unborn and believe that mothers should be held legally responsible for the part they play in the murder of their child. What does the Bible teach about this, and which approach should Christians support?

Vicki, Dover, PA -  What happens to believers who are still alive at the end of the millennium, and Why is the Tree of Life needed for the healing of the nations?

Christian, Beaufort, SC -  I was reading Jeremiah 1:11-19. In it, the LORD shows Jeremiah a vision of a rod of an almond tree after which the LORD tells Jeremiah, "You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it." Jeremiah then sees a vision of a boiling pot facing away from the north which the next few verses explain is representative of the nations of the north coming to fight against Judah. However, God will strengthen Judah should they trust in Him and He will not let them fall to the might of the nations and will use Judah to exact His judgement on the nations. My question is this: What is the significance of the almond rod to the statement the LORD makes saying, "You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it"?

Mark, Timmonsville, SC -  My oldest son has not talked to me in over a year now. He proclaims to be a Christian and I am a born again child of the one and only true God. I believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and have surrendered my life to Him. This stronghold needs to be broken in God's time and in His way. It hurts and not being able to see my grandchildren. I pray daily and ask the Holy Spirit to break this stronghold. My oldest son refuses to respond in any way, text, phone. I even went to see him and they would not open the door. What does God want me to do. I am willing to do the work because I know God will do the spiritual. My brother whom attends your church and we do a virtual bible study with our younger brother weekly. We are all praying. Any wisdom or insight you can help with would be much appreciated. God bless.

Melissa, Bluffton, SC -  I have a question concerning the Jews and Islam. A video was sent to me recently on social media purporting that the Jews were a driving force or instrumental in establishing the Islamic religion and helping it spread across Europe and Africa. The priest in the video claims they were doing this to oppose Christianity. Is there any historical evidence this is true? Or is this yet another antisemitic vehicle by which to paint the Jews in a negative light? Thank you in advance for answering.
