Trying To Reconnect
Published: November 30, 2014Some years ago, I had an affair with someone. We discussed divorcing our spouses but didn’t want to hurt anyone. We are not involved romantically any more, but we call each other or have coffee once in a while and there’s still some mutual attraction there. I have tried to reconnect with my spouse but the feeling is gone. I am in a very difficult situation emotionally and don’t know what to do. Can you give me some advice and direction?
Understanding James 2:19
Published: November 29, 2014Could you explain James 2:19 in relation to salvation and works? I’ve heard many use this verse to say “see, just believing isn’t enough for salvation because the demons believe and aren’t saved”. They say your fruit is indicated by your “works”. Can you put this into proper perspective?
A Question On Sin And Forgiveness
Published: November 29, 2014Just a question on sin from some one in my Sunday school class . If we should sin after saved [which is impossible not to] and die before we ask for forgiveness, are we still covered by the blood of Christ?
What Is The Time Frame Of God’s Wrath?
Published: November 29, 2014I would appreciate your view concerning the time-frame of the word ‘Wrath’ in I Thess.1:10 where ‘Jesus delivers us from the wrath to come’ and I Thess. 5:9 where ‘God has not appointed us to wrath’. Are these verses speaking of the Great Tribulation (3 1/2 years) or do they refer to the entire 7 years of the 70th Week of Daniel? If this wrath includes the entire 7 years where is it explained in Scripture? I personally support the Pre-Trib. view and believe the entire 7 years will be about God’s judgment, but I would like to give a more complete explanation to friends of mine who believe in the Pre-Wrath view.
Faith Without Works
Published: November 29, 2014Jesus, by being neither a sinner by nature nor behavior, went to the cross and perfectly satisfied God’s demand for justice and His desire to love us, making His sacrifice on our behalf acceptable to God. I believe that I am saved on that basis. But if Church Age believers don’t have to give evidence of their faith like pre-church and post-Church believers do, then why does James 2:17 tell us that a faith without works is a dead faith? Isn’t James saying that unless we give evidence of our faith, then it is a dead faith? Does dead faith mean unsaved?
Can a Divorced Couple Re-Marry?
Published: November 29, 2014A divorced couple has entertained the idea of re-marrying. The man stayed unmarried but the woman is going through a divorce with her current husband of 3 years. The reasons for the divorce is his addiction to pornography, which she feels is adultery against her. I have been under the assumption that a man should not remarry a wife who has been polluted through adultery (She had committed adultery – the reason for the divorce previously mentioned.) What do the scriptures have to say about such a situation? Would it be biblical for the two to marry again?
The Holy Spirit
Published: November 28, 2014How come the Holy Spirit is not worshiped in the Book of Revelation? He has no throne in heaven like the Son and the Father? I believe He is deity, the third person in the trinity, with all personal qualities mentioned in the bible, but the fact that He has no throne in heaven comes as a challenge to me. What are your thoughts?
Was Jesus A Nazarite?
Published: November 28, 2014I’ve never seen anyone address this question: I know that Jesus was a Nazarene, but because He was specially sanctified for the task He came to perform, was He a Nazarite as well?
Where Will The Tribulation Martyrs Live?
Published: November 28, 2014If during the millennium the Church dwells in the heavenly Jerusalem, and tribulation survivors live in natural bodies on the restored earth, where do the martyred tribulation saints belong? Will their resurrected bodies be like those of the Church? Do they belong with Israel, or with the Church or some other group? In other words. how will they fit into the millennium, what is their purpose in God’s plan?
Distinguishing The Holy From The Common
Published: November 28, 2014I would like to get your comment on 1 Samuel 6:19-20, why did the Lord smite all those people for looking into the Ark? And what lesson can we garner from these verses, like is there a type of grace or the forthcoming of grace (I hope I am making sense)?
