I have a friend who says salvation is based on “steps.” When I questioned her further, she said that means accepting Christ as her Savior, getting baptized, and being obedient. This is obviously against the Scriptures which clearly teaches trusting Christ as your Savior is the only way to Salvation. How can I best present this to her besides the usual John 3:16 or Ephesians 2:8,9 because she seems to know all the basic Scriptures, studies God’s Word daily, yet can’t see the light!

Could you explain what is meant in Deut. 30:4 by the phrase, outer most parts of heaven, would this be heaven but away from God?

I understand that in the Jewish alphabet, each letter has a number also. There are many in these last days, who think Javier Solana is the anti-christ in the making. Does his name add up to 666?

My husband was saying to me that The Revelation isn’t in chronological order. What are your thoughts on this?

A pastor I heard recently preached that after the rapture, those who had been given an opportunity to accept Jesus and had rejected Him and were thus left behind would not have an opportunity to accept Jesus post-rapture. I question the accuracy of his belief. Can you shed any light?

A discussion about the involvement of America in the End Times scenario came up and we were looking at Revelation 18. In this discussion, some felt that the U.S. fits the description given to Babylon. Do you believe the U.S. fits Babylon or do you have a better country in mind?

I have a question regarding Satan. If he indeed studies scripture to know what he knows about the future, then why didn’t he know about Jesus’ coming crucifixion and what it was going to accomplish? I have read that if he could look into the future, he would have never let it happen. Am I missing something?

Un Estudio Bíblico por Jack Kelley
El momento para los juicios de las copas de la ira está sobre nosotros. Toda la ira de Dios que empezó en el Capítulo 6, se avecina. Esta se ha acumulado en etapas para darles a todas las personas que lo desean, y eso es la oportunidad de buscar al Señor y encontrarlo, antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Pero ahora el clímax está a la puerta. Después de que se completen los juicios de las copas de la ira, los justos requisitos de Dios para el juicio sobre todas las personas que han rechazado Sus serios e incesantes llamados para que se reconcilien con Él, habrán sido satisfechos. Por fin el Planeta Tierra estará listo para recibir a Su Rey y disfrutar la paz que solamente Él puede brindar. Read Post »

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
With the conclusion of the bowl judgments we’ve seen the end of the Great Tribulation. Now we’ll back up a little and get the detail on Babylon’s Destruction. Remember the verse from Rev. 16:19? God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. Well, chapters 17-18 will give us the blow-by-blow. Almost since the beginning of time, the story of man on Earth has been the Tale of Two Cities. Babylon is the city of man, and Jerusalem the City of God. It’s no coincidence that the final days of the Age of Man are taken up with a battle involving these two cities. Read Post »

I lead a small group in our church. One of the couples seem to be very good at getting us off-track from the study. As a leader, I don’t know how far to let the discussion wander from the point. Do you have any insights into the issue of leading small group discussions?
