Living By Faith, Follow Up

Q. Thank you for answering all my questions. I know I have many but you’re are such a great teacher and I’m very grateful for your answers. To be honest there just isn’t this kind of teaching happening in the church these days.

Double Mindedness

Q. I read a christian’s comment on something in a blog. She said  “Don’t be double minded or the Bible says you won’t receive anything.” I know this bible verse and it always confuses me, mostly I find it very distressing. Does this mean that we have to maintain unfluctuating faith without any fearful thought, doubt or negative imagination? Most times these things attack very easily my mind. Am I in danger that the Lord will not help me or grant a promise if my faith is fluctuating? Do these above mentioned characteristics mean double mindedness? And does unwavering faith mean the lack of these characteristics?

Don’t Pray For America, Follow Up

Q. I want to thank you for this message. I have for awhile felt that this nation was set on a path and there was no turning back. I keep hearing preachers talking about a revival coming. I don’t see a revival coming before the rapture. but I do believe there will be the greatest revival of all times afterward,  though I wouldn’t want to be here for that revival.  I just wanted your opinion how bad it may get for the church here in the US before the rapture.

Three Temples Or Four?

Q. I’ve heard that the Millennial Temple will be different from the one during the tribulation.  I’m doing some study on this now, but the Millennial Temple seems to be quite the massive structure!

What Jesus Did In Hell

Q. There is a very controversial issue that Christ went to Hades and had an encounter with Satan. Some say that after the death on the cross, Christ went to Hades and suffered more trouble before He was risen. Others maintain that He went and kicked the devil.  Please share your views with scripture proofs.

Can Satan Read Minds?

Q. I’ve often heard it said that Satan cannot read minds.  The reason, people say, is that it is because he is a created being.   But that is no real answer.  Since Satan was created by God, seems to me that God could have given him whatever abilities He wanted to, even knowing thoughts.  Frankly, though, in most cases, Satan’s intelligence gathering demonic ‘network’ is very likely so efficient that he might seem to know thoughts. So, can Satan know our thoughts or not, and, if not, what is the biblical reason for that stance?

Israel’s Flight From The Anti-Christ

Q. As I understand scripture and your explanations, it seems that there will be two flights from Jerusalem. First is the immediate flight into the desert to Bosrah/Petra, taking not even a moment to grab a coat, at the news of the Abomination and the start of the Great Tribulation.  Then ther’ll will be a second flight at the fall of the City during Armageddon.  At least three and one-half years must elapse between the two flights to allow time for the Great Tribulation to take place.  Am I correct thus far?

Moving The Ark Of The Covenant

Q. As an archeology buff, the “Ark of the Covenant” is a fascinating subject and I really wish someone would find it.  The question I have is, since the presence of the Lord is no longer dwelling in the ark itself, would we be able to touch it today if it were found or would the “don’t touch” rule still apply?

What Happens To Aborted Babies?

Q. What happens to the souls of aborted babies?  If the answer is they go straight to heaven, does this not make infanticide the greatest form of evangelism ever discovered and Dr. George Tiller one of the greatest evangelists of all time?

Although the scriptures do not speak to this hypothesis, are these souls possibly born in the Millennial reign of Jesus?  Such an assertion would logically suggest the same for all children that die before the age of accountability and the mentally incapacitated.
