Matthew 5:3 says “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” This almost indicates those poor in spirit will go to Heaven while I have always believed to go to Heaven you must accept Christ as your savior which would indicate one must have spirit.

I have a significant problem concerning forgiveness. I forgave my brother for believing a lie that was told by my stepfather, who since passed away. Although this happened several years ago, my brother does not want any contact with me because he thinks I’m the one who lied. I have tried to reconcile on several occasions and he has refused all my attempts. I have had Christ in my heart for 30 plus years. I look forward to his coming soon. What happens if we can’t reconcile the situation? I want to be able to come home with the Lord. If I have been faithful and true will that still happen?

When I compared Luke 4:18-21 with Isaiah 61:1-2 I discovered it was incomplete. Why did the Lord stop reading before the end of the passage?

I have come across a point that was raised to me on a message board, and have looked all over the place for an answer, and have remained stumped. The group raising the point wants to know why the 4 living creatures are singing the song in Rev. 5:8-10 if the 24 elders are the church? In other words, why would the 4 living creatures sing this song, since they weren’t redeemed by the blood of Christ?? Their argument is that the 24 elders are angels. I see them as the church because of the excellent reasons you mentioned in your articles, but again I have remained stumped on why the 4 living creatures are signing as well?? Can you shed any light on this?? Thank you and God bless.

I have long believed (because of my previous denominational upbringing and family influence) that the events of Ezekiel 38 would happen before the Rapture, which of course wouldn’t happen until the preaching of the Gospel to the world was complete. This site has effectively changed my mind on the stance of the preaching of the Gospel issue. I really would like to believe that the Rapture is going to take place before Ezekiel 38’s events take place, but I need more just Romans 11:25 to go on. Can you provide more basis for this claim (either in a direct response or point me to where it currently exists on the site?) I would like to know how you came to this conclusion.

I know Genesis 3:15 is the first reference to a coming redeemer, but my question relates to the comment in that verse where I understand God is speaking to Satan and says “And I will put enmity…between your seed and her seed”. I know what “her seed” is, in reference to many generations to follow. But what does it mean when God says of “your seed” (Satan’s)?

Is there any specific scriptural reference to when angels were created? Can you provide any Biblical interpretation of the era when God created angelic beings in comparison to the creation of man, and when do you think the angelic rebellion took place?

In the end times, there’s supposed to be a great falling away. But I have no clue if it’s people of the Lord falling away, or just people in general not coming to the Lord. What do you think? What does scripture have to say? Thank you so much.

Are Satan and the anti-Christ the same person?

Also, If God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the same person why do we say and I will sit at the right hand of God the father? How can that be?

I have a question about man only dying once. There are many who have died and been brought back to life. Even Jesus brought people who where dead back to life, so wouldn’t they have to die again? Which would mean they died more than once, wouldn’t it? How does that square with Hebrews 9:27
