Who was the first individual killed by God for being wicked? Who was he/she or what scripture can this be found in?

I have a question about apparitions. There was another person who wrote to you about these that I had seen in your “Ask a Bible Teacher”. I believe absent from the body present with the Lord, too, and also the passage from Deut. 18:10-11 that tells us that God permits no communication or interaction between the living and the dead. But what about the mount of transfiguration when Moses and Elijah were present with Jesus and Peter, James and John saw them?

My dad died when I was 4 and my brother was 3 years old. following the death, my brother was in bed and could see someone he said was our dad sitting at the edge of the bed talking to him.

Other people who have lost loved ones tell similar stories. can you help us out?

I think you said somewhere that Turkey has to change sides in the future and I can’t remember if you mentioned a future election that might sway things…Anyway, if you did, I just read that Turkey is having an Election Sunday. I assume the Government is presently secular and they fear that it could become Islamic, if I’m getting that right? Would the result have any bearing on Prophecy?

I tend to regard the phrase “this generation” as referring to the people who were alive at the time when Jesus was teaching for this reason. As you know, chapter divisions were not in the original writings and in Luke 20-21, Jesus was teaching publicly at the temple when asked about the signs of the end of the age. In Luke 21:12, Jesus said “but before all these things” (KJV) and then spoke about the persecution and destruction that was to happen in 70

Thank you for your insights. I’ve been reading about the inerrancy of the Bible, or rather, of the original writings. I’ve been systematically looking up the various verses that have discrepancies and reading about the reasons for that discrepancy. In reading the answers (which are all due to copyist errors), I wonder why, if the original writings were without error, don’t the bible translators/editors go back and correct those copyist errors … why leave them in? And, if the original writings are not available, how do you know they were without error?

I was wondering if you could give me a chronological time or sequence of the action in Isaiah 63 when Jesus comes from Bozrah, with His garments stained crimson.? Can you shed any light for me, as to when this takes place. I know it has not taken place already, so has to be future. I have heard that He does not set down on Mt. Olivet first, He goes to Bozrah first.

Also does your study on the Temple tell, where and how you arrive at the location of where the Temple will be built? Is that the Millennial temple? I presume it will be the one the a.c. desecrates but then Jesus comes and cleanses it? I so appreciate your wisdom.

First, I really want to say, Praise God for this website! God has used you’re writings to really help me grow in faith with Him.

My question is. What advice would you give someone that is called to youth ministry?

Thank you very much for your time and God Bless!

Please explain to me how you come to the conclusion that the “parable of the talents” and the parable of the “sheep and goats” have to do with people only in the Tribulation. I’ve read these parables many times before and I have never gotten that message.

A follow-up question to the kosher question I recently posted: regarding the Council of Jerusalem and the four edicts sent to the Gentiles and it’s applicability today, how what does it mean to avoid eating blood and things strangled and how can we avoid that today?

I understand that in keeping kosher, to avoid blood would require either broiling or soaking in saltwater to remove any residual blood, but are we expected to do that today? Inevitably, there seems to be trace amount of blood in precooked meat. Also, I understand that the prohibition from things strangled may pertain to avoiding eating meat from animals that have been inhumanely slaughtered. How can we be sure in today’s world? If the blood and inhumane slaughter avoidance is to be taken to the nth degree today, how does that apply to buying meat from the market or even eating out?

I was interested in the topic of your message on the Feast of the First Fruits. But to open with an Europeanized image of The Messiah is so disrespectful, it is offensive. It is time the world gets to know The real Messiah and stop spreading false images. God warns against making false images. Wake-up Brethren.
