Planet Rahab

Published: September 18, 2008
Q

I have had several people recently ask me about the missing Planet Rahab once being the headquarters of Satan that God destroyed. I know there are several verses that could refer to this but have a hard time believing this. If you have time I would appreciate your opinion.


Why Just Us?

Q

I had a friend ask me why most of God’s nature related judgments hit the Bible Belt and not our cities that resemble Sodom and Gomorrah? Any thoughts?


Abolish OSAS?

Published: September 17, 2008
Q

I wish Pastors and teachers would abolish the phrase “once saved always saved” it going to send a lot of people to hell. They don’t teach that if you go back to that life style and stay there, you are not saved. They go right back to the sinful life style thinking that they are locked into salvation. I was in a bible study that taught that, it didn’t sit right with my spirit so I got out of it.

Can you point me to scripture(s) that explains whether war is good or bad and if there are instances where it is blessed by God? What determines this?

Q

Thank you so much for your thorough yet simplistic, easy to grasp teaching style. I am grateful for your God-given wisdom, and also for teaching me how to correctly divide the Word of Truth. You are the best.

Could you please explain why Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Jordan aren’t listed among the countries marching with Russia in the battle of Ezekiel 38-39?


Wine Or Juice?

Published: September 15, 2008
Q

I know you probably answered this millions of times, but… Did Jesus drink wine or grape juice? In other words, was there any alcohol in it?

Also, I read the latest article on (another website) where the pastor seems to believe that the rapture should occur at the sounding of the last trump during Rosh Hashanah. Do you agree?


Women In Politics

Published: September 15, 2008
Q

What is your biblical take on women in politics? I have heard Isaiah 3 quoted as a reason for not having women take political office. Then I’ve heard that this chapter of Isaiah took place in a theocracy and ours is a republic government which is much different and also a lot of talk on men not fulfilling their roles so women are moving in and taking them which will lead to that country being cursed by God. I’m just really confused over women being in politics. Any help in clearing this up would be appreciated.


Where Was God On 9/11?

Published: September 15, 2008
Q

I’ve been reading an article about 9/11 from (another web site) concerning Where was God on 9/11? I’d really like your opinion as I’ve always had trouble with a certain issue concerning basic Christian beliefs or the question is God really in control of things or isn’t He? It’s always seemed logical to me that God being God can do anything He wants. The question of why didn’t God stop 9/11 from happening has always bothered me. Thanks so much again for all your help.


The Timelessness Of God

Published: September 14, 2008
Q

I praise God for the wisdom that He gifted to you. Thank you for sharing it. I have a question about the timelessness of God. However, in Isaiah 43:10 He states: “…before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.” How can this be if He has no beginning or end? Can “eternal” have a “before” or “end”?

Q

Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful website!

I’m glad I discovered it and I am thoroughly mesmerized by the wealth of information and the delightful manner it’s presented.

My question:

Explain the difference between the Judgment Seat of Christ, where and when it takes place and what happens there, and the Great White Throne of Judgment.
