Why did John the Baptist send his disciples to ask Jesus whether he was the one or for them to look for another? He is the same person who said “Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” So what is the Gospel of Matthew trying to tell us in this passage?

For the past couple of months I’ve been thinking about the question, how important are we (as born again Christians) to the earths progression and understanding of God? Can you you help me with this?

Thank you for this great site. My question is about the creation. The sun and the moon were created on the 4th day, and this then would establish a day as being 24 hours. How do we know the length of the first 3 days? Could this be a partial explanation of the debate over the age of the earth? I believe that, no matter what, God created the earth and sent Jesus to die for my sins but am curious about if there is some way to know how long a day was before there was a sun or moon. Any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated.

With all the debate about spiritual gifts going on in the church. I have a question. What is the definition of “the Perfect” in 1 Cor 13:10? Some say the canonized bible, others say the Holy Ghost and still others the Kingdom of heaven. What is your interpretation?

If Satan was created by God he is one of his children, even though fallen. If at a certain time, Satan sees he has lost and the power of God’s love prevails, could he not surrender and beg forgiveness and be saved?

In your commentary on the Parable of the 10 Virgins you said, “This parable teaches that His return signals the deadline after which even the request to be saved and receive the Holy Spirit will be denied. (The foolish virgins, as the parable calls them, were on their way to replenish their oil when the bridegroom arrived.) The door will be closed, and the Lord will deny ever knowing those who’ve come too late.”

I have a question about the above quote. Maybe I’m confused, but I was always taught that Jesus died once for all time. Would that not include everyone from the beginning of time until forever?

Re: The Watchman. What’s the difference between being a ‘watchman on the wall’ specifically appointed by God as Ezekiel was or a watchman in society watching the signs of the times? If we are all to watch and wait, seems like all God’s kids are appointed to be aware and share that awareness with others. I don’t see a big difference other than one is very specific and one is general.

In the “Wrong About the End Times” answer you said: “Also, the Islamic Mahdi is described in ways that make him appear remarkably similar to the anti-Christ. Both will initially appear as peace makers in a time of chaos, both will have 7 year reigns, a one world government and a one world religion, both will try to destroy the Jews, and on it goes.”

When you say ” both”‘ do you mean the Anti-Christ and the Mahdi? How do we know there is actually going to be a Mahdi since he is talked about in the Koran and not the Bible?

Do you have an article that justifies God ‘allowing’ Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, rather than Him stepping in and stopping them, thus preventing the fall. Another person is trying to use the fact that as ~’God didn’t prevent it, then He must not exist, because according to the way He describes Himself in the Bible, He would have stopped them.’ So the person in reference concludes God doesn’t exist, because he says God doesn’t act the way He says He would.

Lately I have heard a lot about a theory that Islam is the religion that will dominate in the last days and the Catholic Church is not the one world religion.

A book I read recently seems to offer proof that “the West has been wrong in our Western Views and the Bible is a Jerusalem-Centric book written about the Middle East”.

I was thinking if we’re wrong on the EU and the Catholic church then what else are we wrong on? Have your heard and looked into this theory on the last days?
