Staying Focused In Sharing The Gospel
Published: January 13, 2012I am a believer and spread the Word every chance I get and I try to tell my mother-in-law who says she is “spiritual’. All she responds with is, “So people in India who have never heard of Jesus are going to Hell?” I just would like to get some perspective because I’ve read Scripture that says God has revealed Himself in creation and that all are without excuse. But then there is only salvation through faith in Christ alone? Help me out if you can.
Disputing Moses’ Body
Published: January 12, 2012I read the bit regarding satan’s dispute with the ark angel for Mose’s body. I have always seen this as satan’s attempt to get the body of a prominent person to inhabit so he can become a physical entity and not just a spirit. He will succeed when he enters the anti-christ’s body who was wounded as if dead and rises to rule.
Tough Questions
Published: January 10, 2012There are many tough questions asked by non-believers and I try to answer as best as I can. One that bothers me a lot is when people say, “I believe that when we die, that is it. And you tell me I am going to hell for that?” I loathe the thought that some really wonderful people on this earth will be going to hell. They don’t lie, cheat or steal, they raise wonderful well-behaved children, they donate to charities and volunteer to help others, but because they think there is nothing after death, they will suffer for eternity. That is very hard for me to swallow so I can imagine the anger someone feels when they are told this. How do we deal with this tough question without offending the natural, human defense mechanisms we all have built within us? Some people are just more logically minded genetically and they can’t wrap their minds around the supernatural.
The Holy Spirit, Satan, And Prayer
Published: January 10, 2012One of my church leaders said that we need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit (or laying of hands) frequently to renew and rekindle the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit can also be diminished or leave us completely due to our sin or actions. He also said not all our prayers to God reach Him due to interference by satanic forces. To be frank I am doubtful about these statements. What does the Bible say?
A Canopy Of Water
Published: January 9, 2012Your have said that the earth would be restored to its original condition in the Millennium. That brings a question to my mind. When the earth was created was it not under a “canopy” of water? Would that mean that a canopy will be over the earth again?
Son Of God Or Son Of Man?
Published: January 9, 2012The Bible refers to Jesus as the Son of God and the Son of Man. Would you tell me why both terms are used, and is there a reason one term is used in a particular verse instead of the other?
Ephraim And Judah, Gog And Magog
Published: January 9, 2012I am having a debate with a Christian friend as to when the Ezekiel 38/39 war will take place. She says that Joseph and Judah coming together again like two broken sticks forming one stick(Ezekiel 37:19) is a symbol of salvation and can therefore only happen at the end of the Tribulation at the second coming of the Lord. She then goes on to say that if that is the case, then the Ezekiel 38/39 war must be postponed until the end of the millenium, which is confirmed (in her viewpoint) by the Revelation 20 prophecy that puts an end to Gog/Magog and indeed Satan himself.
Who Is The Remnant?
Published: January 8, 2012I am currently reading your book (7 things you have to know to understand end times prophecy) and on page 19 you quote Acts 15:13-18. My question is about the word “remnant” in that passage. Does this word refer to the Jewish people? And if it does here in this verse, does it always to the Jewish people? Is that word ever used for the Gentiles?
The Lord’s Final Words
Published: January 8, 2012I am ordering two copies of your your new book. I was wondering what you say the final words of Jesus were. I see varied answers.
Why Was Israel Hardened?
Published: January 7, 2012After reading the book of Romans, a question came to mind: is the hardening of Israel’s heart due to the fact that they rejected Jesus as the Messiah? And if so, once the Rapture occurs, will Israel’s heart be softened and the will recognize Jesus as Messiah?
