I believe in the word of God as written in the Bible. However, there are situations I found myself that when I pray in accordance with the scripture, I do not receive an answer. In Malachi 3:10, the prophet speaking the mind of God wrote that the windows of heaven will open and blessing poured out I have been tithing and I am yet to receive an increase. Kindly advise me on what could be wrong

You have said that believers are admonished to obey God’s commands both as evidence of their faith (you cite James) and in a show of gratitude for what we’ve been given. Are there any other verses besides the one in Romans 12 where Paul begs believers to, in light of God’s mercy, present our bodies as a living sacrifice/respond to the Lord out of gratitude?

I know someone who is a very nice person and very generous, but he sleeps around and seemingly has no qualms about it. I mentioned being “born again,” and he said that he received the Lord at a young age and that he knows God will take him up in the rapture. How does this compute in God’s eyes?

I think you mentioned in one of your articles that there is evidence that Adam could read and write and that possibly he even wrote books that Moses read and used to write the first five books of the Bible. I would love to know the evidences for this. What do we have that shows both Adam’s ability to read and to write, and what evidences are there also for his writings influencing Moses? Thanks as usual for your wisdom and heart. I read your emails daily.

It is appointed unto man once to die and then face judgment. Now my question is with the recorded deaths in the bible (Lazarus, Jairus’ daughter, etc), if someone died who was not a believer but was brought back from death and got saved in their “second life”, would it count or are they still damned to hell because they did not believe before they died the first time.

In Revelation 14 : 9-10 says, ” if anyone worships the beast and his image …… he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, “. Most of us Christian Worship on Sunday, and not on Sabbath ( Saturday ). Is Sunday an image of the beast ? Are we worshiping the image of the beast which is Sunday ? Will we all go to hell because of this ?

In my recent study of false prophets in 2 Peter 2:10 and Jude 8 the term glorious ones (ESV) or celestial beings (NIV) was used to describe that which the false prophets blaspheme but angels dare not. Who are these glorious ones? The Greek word for glorious ones and how it’s used in other verses it puzzling.

We value your opinion and it seems when we discuss a matter, it’s not long before you answer…..isn’t that great? Our question: Is it wrong to display a cross? Are we doing something wrong “according to the Bible” by putting one up on our property? Thanks for your reply.

Was the NT written in Hebrew or Greek? Being Jewish I heard about the Jewish NT and was thinking about buying it and want to make sure it is the same as the NT.

John 19:23 speaks about the soldiers casting lots for Jesus garments. The passage speaks specifically about Jesus coat that was woven without seam from top to bottom. Is there any relevance to that particular passage concerning the importance of no seam?
