OSAS And 1 Peter 4:18
Published: March 13, 2014Your website has been a true blessing to me. Your clear, concise, logical and Biblical based responses to questions have made me realize what an awesome God we serve, especially when it comes to His amazing grace when we believe on His precious Son who saved us. I fully subscribe to OSAS, but recently have been wondering about 1 Peter 4:18: “And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (KJV). This passage seems to suggest some degree of uncertainty about salvation. Surely we’re either saved or not saved, depending on whether we believe, or not? How can we be “scarcely saved” as if some only make it by the “skin of our teeth”, so to speak? Am I misunderstanding the language here?
Questions About Millennial Believers
Published: March 13, 2014What will happen to the resurrected martyrs from the Trib who live in the 1000 Yr Kingdom? Will they die again, Or just the “regular 1000 year humans”? Where do those humans come from, and how will they achieve 1000 year life spans?
Believe Or Obey?
Published: March 13, 2014Thank you for your website, I visit it often when I do not understand what I read in the scriptures. This morning I came across another one. Will you please help me understand? I searched this verse on your site but didn’t find anything that explains it. John 3:36 says, “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” . It appears to be a contradiction. How can one have eternal life and then not see life, but the wrath of God?

Taking Thoughts Captive
Published: March 11, 20142 Cor. 10:3-5 tells us to demolish the enemy’s arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and to take take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ.
My question is , How do we take our thoughts captive in Christ? Are there words that must be said? Do we invoke Jesus’ name? Do we just try to think of something else? Do we pray to have Satan bound in Jesus’ name so he cannot affect us? How do we know If the thoughts are from an evil entity or just our sin nature? What is the correct way to deal with thoughts that cross our mind and are not holy and serving of God
The Mystery Of 1 Cor. 15:51
Published: March 11, 2014I have a question concerning the rapture. In 1 Cor 15:51 Paul tells us a mystery that we shall be changed and the last trump will sound. Do you believe that last trump has nothing to do with feast, but is to Israel and the Law comes back into existence since the church will be leaving and the grace period will end? Also I read your blood moons study and you don’t see evidence that it has any part of the rapture can this also be part of the mystery?
Is God Cruel And Unjust?
Published: March 11, 2014Someone brought my attention to the following Scriptures as “evidence” that God is a cruel and unjust God. They claim Exodus 21: 7-10 says you can sell your daughter into slavery and allow her master to rape her, Exodus 22: 16-17 says you can rape a virgin but you must marry her and pay her father a dowry of virgins, and Leviticus 19: 20-22 says you can rape your female slave and be forgiven, but the slave must be punished. Can you help me with these verses?
Changing Set Times And Laws
Published: March 11, 2014I have a question regarding Daniel 7:25, where it speaks of the Antichrist seeking to ‘change times and laws’. I can understand the meaning of ‘changing the laws’, but what does the ‘changing of times’ mean? Could this be a reference to a Muslim Antichrist, since their religion imposes Islamic laws onto others?
Forgiving A Brother
