A Time When You Think Not

Published: June 29, 2017
Q

Considering all the Signs that Jesus gave us regarding His return, what is your take on His comment when He said that He would come at such a time as you think not. I’ve have been challenged by this statement when I have been teaching on the Signs of the Times. Is the Lord addressing His remarks to believers or was it meant for a wider audience i.e. non-believers? I would be grateful for your opinion.


The Basis For Our Belief

Published: June 28, 2017
Q

God revealed himself to people in OT times by super natural things (fire, cloud, burning bushes, etc). In NT times until present it seems that God does not reveal himself supernaturally anymore. I have heard it said that God revealed himself in three parts as the holy trinity. The first was God the father as the super natural, the second was God the Son Jesus as a literal human, and finally God the Spirit as in the day of Pentecost until now. Maybe its where I live or the times (or maybe something else) but it seems harder and harder to see or hear God. Could you share your ideas about this?


Evening And Morning

Q

In Genesis 1 my Bible says, “And the evening and the morning were the first day,” and so forth for all the days of creation. Is there a reason that evening comes first? I thought maybe it’s because the day actually starts at 12 midnight. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Could it be possible that when God speaks of Israel He means all of God’s people that believe in him and try to follow in His foot steps?


Who Did Jesus Pray To?

Q

Can you help me answer this question for the Jehovah Witnesses? I know Jesus is the Son of God, and I also know and believe with all my heart that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament. Jehovah God. Jehovah Witnesses have sometimes asked me the following: “If Jesus is God – then who did He pray to?” Can you please help me with a simple answer?


Old Testament Vs. New Testament

Published: June 27, 2017
Q

A friend of mine told me that I could ask you biblical questions and get a good answer. my question is this: There is a lot of violence in the old testament like the slaughter of baal’s prophets that God said was ok but in the new testament He tells us that violence is never ok and that we should love our enemy. It just seems like there was a huge change between the new and old testaments.


Our Heart’s Desire

Published: June 26, 2017
Q

I received teachings from bible passage in Hebrews 8 & 10 that God will put His laws in our minds and hearts so that we would follow them. So can believers today depend on our hearts’ desires to help us make decisions in life (since the Bible says he has written His laws in our heart), is this interpretation Biblically correct?

Q

Recently there was an article on another website having to do with tribulation saints losing their salvation. The author disagreed with your position and gave an unfavorable critique of one of your articles in doing so. Would you care to comment?


Tired Of Waiting

Published: June 26, 2017
Q

I’ve been telling people about the Rapture and the “end times” ever since I first read Hal Lindsey’s book “The Late Great Planet Earth” 38 years ago. I’m tired of the Christians among my family and friends who have heard me for all these years and now laugh whenever I say something about current events and Bible prophecy. These are all good Christians who believe in Jesus but just aren’t interested in Bible prophecy. It’s not just that they don’t believe it, they think it’s all centuries away. I’ve lost the excitement of waiting for His return. I really thought the Rapture would have come before now.
