Forgiveness Vs. Consequences
Published: October 12, 2010God has forgiven every sin that I have done, as well as those I will still do. So the full price was paid for all my sins. When I regret what I have done, I repent before God and ask forgiveness, knowing He has already forgiven me. But my question is, what about the consequences of my sin?
More Questions About Matt. 24
Published: October 12, 2010I have a question about Mathew 24. How is it that the disciples asked questions about Jesus 2nd coming when they didn’t even fully understand that he would be crucified and be resurrected like he was trying to tell them? Another question I have is about Him saying the time before he comes again will be like the days of Noah, (vs36 -41) where people will be eating and drinking, but I thought the days would be violent from the all the natural disasters and judgments in Revelation? And also in the parable following this it says the master who finds his servants not watching and expecting his return would be cut to pieces, Isn’t all of Israel going to be saved at the 2nd coming?
The Wages Of Sin, Follow Up
Published: October 10, 2010Maybe I didn’t read it correctly but the person who wrote this article asked if the phrase “the wages of sin is death” was speaking of a physical death not a spiritual one. You responded, “The wages of sin is death comes from Romans 6:23 and relates to physical death.” How is wages of sin is death related to physical death? If that were truly the case, born again Christians wouldn’t be physically dying on this earth. I’ve been always told, wages of sin is spiritual death, which is separation from God.
Collective Salvation, Follow up
Published: October 10, 2010I read your answer to the question on collective salvation. What about household salvation? In the scriptures and I don’t have them now, but I have read “You and your household will be saved” What does this verse/verses similar to above mean?
How Do You Know This? Follow Up
Published: October 10, 2010In a recent post you said, “The believers who suffer during the Great Tribulation are those who come to faith after the Church is gone, and in fact the disappearance of the Church will convince many to become believers. We know they’re not part of the Church because their destiny in Eternity is different than the Church’s.” How do you know this? Please explain the difference.
Dinosaur Fossils And Creation
Published: October 9, 2010Your website is an invaluable resource and I am very grateful for it, you and your family’s ministry. I am trying to answer questions for a skeptical unsaved family member and praying for God’s grace to open his eyes. How can we reconcile the existence of dinosaur fossils with our biblical view of creation?
Made Sin Or A Sin Offering?
Published: October 9, 2010The leader of our Bible Study has been very firm in clarifying 2 Corinthians 5:21. She says that Jesus could not “become sin”, because He was sinless. She says that the verse should say He became the sin offering as we would say a perfect and spotless lamb became the sin offering. I would like to know your understanding of this very important Scripture.
Why Rachel?
Published: October 8, 2010I have learned more from your site than any Bible Study I have done. Thank You so much for your dedication to the Word. I was wondering why the Bible says Rachel grieves for her children. Why does the Lord specify Rachel instead of Sarah, Rebecca or any other mother in the Bible?
Will Gentiles Have To Offer Sacrifices?
Published: October 8, 2010Thank you so much for your site and wonderful teachings. I use them for my daily morning devotional and am blessed. In your article, “The Hidden Doctrine of the Rapture” you stated “When God does take the Church out of the world, there will be another abrupt change as the Age of Law returns for its last seven years. Once again the focus will be on Israel. There will be a Temple with sacrifices and all the other associated ceremonies. Except for all the missing people, it will be like the Church Age never happened.” I had always believed that after the church is raptured, many gentiles who had heard the Word, but were on the fence, would be saved. But if your statement, above, is true, wouldn’t they be required to make blood sacrifice just like the Jews?
Who Are Those Babies?
Published: October 8, 2010I have a question about Matthew 24:19, “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days.” I know this verse is instructions given to those living in Judea (the Jewish people) after they see ‘abomination of desolation’ which occurs at the mid-tribulation point or after the Rapture of the Church. So, does that mean that Jewish children will not be raptured? I thought all children under the age of accountability would be raptured. Thank you so much for your hard work.
