I was reading the article about Obadiah on (a well known author’s) website. He says the book is referring to current times. I went to my Spirit Filled Life Bible, a study bible, that says it refers to the Israeli defeat by the Babylonians in 586 BC. Which is correct? And, when studying, how do I discern which version to believe? Thanks.

You teach us that the Rapture is not a timed event but a numerical event. That God has a certain number of members in the Church in mind rather than a certain time for it to happen. I’m wondering then, could that number be the number of living spaces, or “mansions”, available in the New Jerusalem for the Church to live? If New Jerusalem has specific measurements, then it follows that there are a certain number of spaces available for our “mansions”.

I have been so blessed by gracethrufaith. My question is: Why were James and John given the name “Sons of Thunder” and what is it’s meaning?

My question is: Where will be the location of the fallout from the Ezk. 38-39 war? When the Jews flee to Petra to escape the anti-christ mid way through the tribulation, will they follow a route that takes them near the catastrophic radioactive damage created by the Ezk. 38-39 war?

We have been exploring Hebrew Roots and are all in agreement that following the Law does not save us but there are those who believe following the Law is part of the sanctification process. What are your thoughts on this?

I was speaking to a friend of mine about repentance. He said when you’ve truly repented you can’t do again what you’ve repented from. He said if you do it again anytime your life it means you didn’t repent in the first place. This confused me because there are things that I repented from them honestly but I find myself doing them again although I do not like to do them. Have I not truly repented?

I’ve been searching but haven’t come up with anything yet. Here’s my question, did the prophets of the Old Testament ‘miss it’ like so many of the self proclaimed prophets of today do?

I’m 22 and graduating college. I know that Lord’s return can be any day now. Is it wrong that I feel conflicted about it? I want Him to return soon, but I also desire to have my own family and kids. What can I do so that I can remain strong in wanting Him more than family?

Scripture tells us that “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends”. I believe it would require a greater love to lay down one’s life for someone who is not a friend … someone who is a stranger, or someone who is out to do you harm, or such. I think it would be much easier for someone to lay down their life for a friend then for one of these other types I mentioned. It has never made sense to me. Can you shed any light on this matter?

What happened to the people who came out of the grave when Jesus died? Some say it was a mistake in the bible. I believe that is wrong when you start going down that road. Also when will the OT Saints be resurrected?
