What is the meaning of this verse in Jn 3:5, regarding Jesus’ statement to Nicodemus about” being born of water”? I’ve read many different interpretations and was just wondering what yours might be? Thanks, Aaron

How did John get the letters he wrote to the seven churches?

What was the first light? The one that illuminated the first day of creation.  The sun, moon, an stars weren’t made until day four.  The word for Light differs from that of the light of the sun and moon.

When Jesus appears in the clouds and we are translated, will anyone on earth see Him? When we are changed “in the twinkling of an eye”, does that also mean that immediately we are in heaven, or are we still with him in the clouds at that moment and then taken to heaven? Do you believe then that anyone on earth will be witness to anything but our absence?

I have been reading your website for quite awhile now.  Most things I agree with, but I don’t understand  your comments concerning how it will be during the Great Tribulation.  If I understood correctly, you were saying that no one is going to know we are going through the Great Tribulation. They will continue to eat, drink and get married just like any other day.  Is this what you intended to say?  My understanding of the Great Tribulation is that it is going to be a time of distress in the world worse than at any other time.  Do you really believe people won’t take notice?

I am currently taking a course in self defense.  Unfortunately this has set up a conflict in my mind regarding the violence required in some situations (some to protect others) and what I understand to be the teachings of Christ.  Give me some guidance here regarding these matters.

I was watching a debate between a believer and an unbeliever about the young earth and old earth scenarios. At one stage they were debating whether plants died before Adam sinned.  The unbeliever argued that the Bible is wrong in saying that death only came into the world after Adam sinned.  His argument was that when Adam and Eve ate the plants, it killed them.   Would the dying of a plant be seen as death?

I believe in the pretrib rapture but I was wondering,  would it be possible that if the rapture is not pretrib, and fundamental believers are disappointed by being in the trib, that they will apostasize and that is the great falling away? I hope I am being just a worry wort and too sensitive to the bad things that are happening. Is this even a valid theory? has anyone else raised this question?

I’ve never observed 1 John 3:2 before in the context of the Rapture. “When He appears, we shall be like Him…” Sounds to me just like the translation of living believers in 1 Thess 4 and 1 Cor 15. Those who see Him at His 2nd Coming will certainly behold Him as He is–but, will not be translated into His likeness. Your thoughts ?

One more question, please ! Do you equate the ISIS buildup as prelude to the imminence of the Psalm 83 battle ?

What form did Jesus have before the world began and even before that…before God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) created Angels and possibly even Heaven?  Was Heaven created for the Angels and the Earth for man?
