I am unequally yoked–I am married to a very non-religious Jewish man, whom I love tremendously, but who does not share my Christian views for obvious reasons. I am in a difficult situation vis a vis the unequal yoking. The Lord has laid a burden of care on me for the lost of Asia, in particular the people of India. I want to sponsor the work of Gospel for Asia, but my husband does not. I am in need of your insight and advice. I have made arrangements to do volunteer work for GFA (which costs nothing and, hence, is not much of a bone of contention.) But besides volunteering, I don’t see that I have any other options.

Would you comment on Matthew 7:5-7, “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”

Sometimes when I talk to a nonbeliever about the Bible and they totally reject the gospel this verse comes to my mind. Am I taking it out of context? Would you share your thoughts about this verse?

My question is about the so-called “Infancy Scriptures.” I saw a TV special on them and was surprised at how the Lord was depicted, supposedly as an angry and unruly child. The special said that Jesus had to learn how to master His emotions as any child would and that later He became a great leader. Do you buy any of this? What exactly are these “Infancy Scriptures”? They seem disrespectful to me!

I’ve just read your article on The Rich Man and Lazarus and found it to be a blessing. However, a question popped up in my mind that I just can’t seem to answer. Although Lazarus could not see the rich man, apparently Abraham could. Perhaps I’m wrong, but once a believer died and went to paradise, he or she should no longer have experienced any negative emotion (worry, sorrow etc.). How could Abraham have been in such a state when he could see those in torment?

(Luke 16: 19.31).. Is the “story” about Lazarus and the rich man a parable or not? Can we assume from that’s what happens to believers and unbelievers after death or not? Some people make this passage out to be “just another parable”. What is your opinion?

I have a question about pride. In our Bible study last night, someone said that he didn’t agree that pride is all that bad. His example was that he takes pride in his job, not so much in the job title, but that he takes pride in doing a good job at what he does.

Other members of the group brought up the issue of motives and that we do all for the glory and honor of God. And that sin is compared to leaven in the OT in that leaven puffs up and that is what pride does, it puffs us up.

My question is, are we straining at mere use of words, or should we take “pride” in making sure we do a good job, or is all pride (in whatever form) sin?

In the Bible, especially the OT, God gave warnings not to consult with witches and soothsayers. He also warns against seeing one that interprets omens or dreams or consult with sorcerers. So, knowing this, it begs the question–Can these people, aided by Satan, foretell the immediate future? For example, if Satan wanted to know what someone was going to do tomorrow, could he find that out and pass it along to a soothsayer, who could then tell someone their immediate future?

I ask in light of Acts 16: 16-19 which seems to support the idea.

Thanks for your message. Please, keep up the good work! I just want to make a note about the question “Is there a second chance for salvation”. I don’t think that there is a “second chance” per say but I think that based on the scripture, individuals that have never heard the word of god during their lifetime will be judged by Jesus. (In effect given a second chance.) I am referring to the words of Jesus in John 5:24 through John 5:29.

I am wondering about the unequally yoked issue. I don’t understand the principle of an unrighteous person being made righteous because they happen to be married to a believer when they themselves are not a believer. Does the unrighteous one being made righteous mean that the believer may somehow “cover” their non believing spouse? What if there are children involved and what is the right thing according to God when the unbelieving spouse begins to teach their views against God to the children?

I have a question that I am pretty sure is not covered in the Bible, but I was just curious about your thoughts on the matter.

I am six months pregnant. I was thinking about what would happen if I was taken in the Rapture today. Would I still be pregnant in Heaven? I believe that if I did give birth, it would not be painful at all. But if time does not exist in Heaven, then people could not age. So would my unborn child always be a child?

I know that Heaven is a concept my mind will never be able to grasp while on Earth, but these are things I think about.
