In Phil. 2:17, Paul speaks of being poured out like a drink offering. What was the purpose of the drink offering? I have tried to understand the meanings of the different offerings, but this one eludes me.

I happened to notice a Catholic commentary on the Scriptures, and I looked up John 3:16 to see what it had to say. What struck me was the book’s claim that the words for “eternal life” stresses the quality of life rather than the duration of life. Can you help us with what the Greek means, and how to respond to this interpretation?

Is the Ark of the Covenant needed in order for the Jews to use the Temple in the 70th week of Daniel?

My question involves the gentiles that make it through the end times judgments. We know that they can’t buy or sell without the mark. We know that many are beheaded. So what will the ones that become saved and make it to the Millennium do? Hide themselves? Stay on lands or farms where they can grow their own food? How will they escape the anti-Christ system?

In regards to the “cloud of witnesses” (Heb 12:1), and your oft-repeated assertions (to which I also hold) that in eternity, we will be able to visit the history of the world to watch events unfold before us, do you think that there are in fact saints around each of us today, from the “future”, watching our lives as we live? Could not I, in eternity, go back to visit myself as I type this, and then in fact as I type, my future “self” would be here with me?

What 6 tasks did God assign Israel to do in preparation for the coming Kingdom? This was posted in an article 09/04/10.

It never occurred to me that when the AC declares himself to be God in the Jewish temple, the Muslims would consider that blasphemy because they thought he was claiming to be Allah. I thought he would actually unite the Muslims because they thought he was the Imam. Whose armies will defeat the king of the north and the king of the south? I thought that would be Jesus returning with His saints.

If the new man and the old man in the believer still exist in a sinful body how can the HS continue to reside there, and why the difference between the old and new testament saints? When the rapture occurs will God divide the old man from the new man and leave the old man and the sin stained body to die and take the new creation with a new body with HIM to heaven? Where does it say in the bible that the rapture is going to be a visible disappearance?

I’ve really enjoyed your website over the years and have told many friends about it. I have been trying to financially support your website, as well, so many more can be reached. My question has to do with one of my 11 yr old twin boys. He is not convinced that God is real. How can I direct him to see that it’s true?

Does God forgive us only on the condition that we forgive others ?
