All In The Family

Q

I sort of have an ongoing debate with a co-worker regarding the wives of Seth and Cain (Adam and Eve’s sons). My co-worker asked me where did they come from as there is no clear explanation in Genesis and they just sort of appear. I say that they have to be descendants of Adam and Eve who are the mother and father of mankind. My co-worker feels that this would be incest and can’t be. Can you clarify this for us?

Q

Do you have a teaching on Matthew 16:28? What was Jesus talking about?


Laodicea And Me

Published: August 30, 2014
Q

I believe that because I am saved that there is nothing that can separate me from the Lord and He will never forsake me. I have read that our sins are cast as far as the east is from the west but does that mean they are forgiven, Past, Present and Future as some term it? If that’s so then why when the Lord speaks to the Church at Laodicea, does he warn them to not be lukewarm for He will spew them from His mouth? How can I begin to judge if I’m lukewarm?? If He spews me from His mouth, doesn’t that mean I can no longer be His? Can you explain this?


Will Arabs Inherit The Promised Land Too?

Q

I was reading a book from another prophecy teacher who said: “When Jesus finally establishes His Kingdom, He will remove the enmity from the hearts of both Arabs and Jews. Then He will reconcile the sons of Abraham, and they will live at peace in the Holy Land.” He bases this on Ezk 47:22-23.

The author continues: “Ezekiel reveals that the Promised Land will be allocated in east-west strips to each of the twelve tribes of the restored Israel. However, the Arabs (the “strangers” mentioned in v. 23) will also receive their inheritance of land within Israel.” This makes sense to me since God also promised to bless Ishmael through his descendants.

What is your opinion of this scripture from Ezekiel? Could this be a reason why the Promised Land is so expanded during the Kingdom Age? Thank you once again for your time and patience in giving us your inspired thoughts about the Scriptures.


Excited Or Threatened?

Published: August 30, 2014
Q

I have been reading a lot on the subjects of singularity and transhumanism. I believe that secular humanist scientists are bent on achieving the ancient lie of men becoming gods and are feverishly working on the last phase of man’s evolution behind the scenes by gene manipulation and integrating man with machine. But many of the movies I’ve watched on the the mark of the beast show people reluctantly receiving the mark so they can live and eat. Do you think it’s a possibility that people will be excited to receive the mark due to the possibility of becoming a god?


Two Different Men, Both Named Jesus

Published: August 29, 2014
Q

My daughter floored me yesterday. She is a born again Christian but read on facebook where an Islamic man claimed that after his research the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus spoken of in the Koran are one and the same. I told her this is not true and that Allah and God are not one and the same either. I don’t want her to go down the Chrislam road as many seem to be doing these days. What proof can I give her to help her see this? I don’t want to buy a copy of the Koran.


The Full Number

Published: August 29, 2014
Q

I have been studying the Book of Revelation lately and I believe it says somewhere in there I can’t find now about the full number coming in. It says when the full number of Gentiles are killed in Gods name is when the end will begin. Is this true? Are we waiting on a full number of people to die in Gods name for the rapture to happen?


Trumpets And Bowls The Same?

Published: August 28, 2014
Q

Is it possible that the trumpet judgements and the bowl judgments be defining the same events from a different perspective? It would seem that we are seeing God’s view and the unbelievers view of the same action for reinforcement.


Where Are they Now?

Published: August 28, 2014
Q

You recently said “At the end of the Millennium the unbelieving dead from all ages will be gathered for their final judgment. Anyone whose name is not found in the Book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire for eternal punishment.” Where are the spirits of these people now?? Are they in limbo, in eternal punishment or simply not existent at this time?


Where Did Denominations Come From?

Q

Did all denominations come from the Catholic faith? I have been asked this question and I did not have an answer.
