Q: How should a Christian handle bullying when people lash out at them on the internet and slander them?
The Internet seems to make cowardly people more prone to say things they wouldn't say to a person's face.
The twist in it is, on the Internet it's also often preserved for the viewing and commentary of others.
How does the Christian deal with people who slander and bully them?
- consider your answer - maybe don't answer.
-Consider your answer - maybe don't answer.

- "railing" or "reviling" (other translations) - this is slander.
Don't respond in a like manner.
Don't do anything that appears to slander them in front of everyone else.
Take the high road.

Q: What kind of heresies were there in the early church?
Several - many of which even appear in forms today.
What is heresy?
HERESY
A deliberate departure from Christian orthodoxy,* together with the acceptance of error (2 Pet.
2:1).
The basic meaning of the Greek word hairesis is “choice,” giving the meaning of heresy as a self-willed opinion in opposition to biblical truth.
Such opinions frequently give rise to sects or parties (Acts 5:17; 15:5; 24:5, 14; 26:5; 28:22; 1 Cor.
11:19; Gal.
5:20).
A heretic, therefore, is a sectarian.
Thus he is to be cut off from church fellowship (Titus 3:10)

Q: If someone asks me where does God come from what would I say, and where would I go in the Bible to explain?
It's easy to overthink the answer to this question... and at first, to some people, it may seem unanswerable.
Those who ask often want to make it seem as though Christians are creating some sort of error of logic.
"Oh, I'm going to stump that poor Christian!
He hasn't thought about this one!"
Their intent is to cause someone to stumble through words, and create a sort of "nesting dolls" problem (you know, those little doll figurines that come in a set which all fit inside of each other).
If God created us, who created God?
And who created who created God... and so on... and on...
In other words, the question is nonsense.
It's a bad question.
It can't really be answered.
It's based on faulty assumptions.
Q: When someone dies, will they know relatives and friends in Heaven?
The reality is that the question, "Where did God come from?" is really only showing the ignorance of the asker.
And if this person is a militant skeptic, it's showing their shallowness and lack of true intellectual thought on the subject.
So instead of an answer, I'll give you a response: No one created God.
He is an eternal being.
He has always existed.
He has no cause.
To be eternal means to last or exist forever, without beginning or end.
The Bible speaks of God being eternal:
The Eternal God, ()
Pre-existed everything, , ,
Will exist after time,
The law of cause and effect is a product of nature.
God is supernatural, which means he exists outside nature and time—which ultimately means he needs no cause.
Consider that for the universe to exist (since it is an effect), it needed a cause greater than itself—it needed God to be uncaused... so saying God had no cause is actually... logical!
Q: How do we know if we are led by the Spirit?
It is possible to know - not some "better felt than told, God laid it on my heart" thing.
- "led by the Spirit are the sons of God" - , ,
, , 25Jn.
16:12-15 - Spirit sent as a guide (who we will want to follow) to truth.
- Truth is synonymous with God's Word (the Bible).The Bible is "Spirit inspired" - ; -6We know we are led by the spirit when we allow the spirit to guide us through what HE inspired and delivered - the Bible!

Q: When someone dies, will they know relatives and friends in Heaven?
YES!
This question is really asking if personality is retained in the hereafter.
There are lots of passages where the belief that people will be recognizeable is expressed.
But let's just look at a few from the New Testament which demonstrate it:
Sitting down in the kingdom of heaven with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob——if they can't be identified, there is no valid promise here at all!
The Transfiguration——Not only were Moses and Elijah recognizeable, but they were recognized by Peter, who was still alive!
Rich Man and Lazarus——The rich man, Lazarus, and Abraham all retained their identities; The rich man also remembered his relations who were still alive!
But won't I be unhappy if someone I love isn't in heaven with me?
This is the most common objection.
But I hope that you see using this argument as a means of saying we won't recognize people in Heaven isn't an argument from scripture, but from emotion.
