Clayifying Hebrews 9

Q. What a wonderful blessing your site it. It provides such great resources…we use your input weekly in Sunday School.

The author refers to the first covenant in Hebrews 9:1. I assume this covenant refers to the law and how to worship that was passed down to Moses from God. This confuses me as there existed covenants prior to this one, for instance the covenant between God and Abram, where God along with Christ walked through the blood path.  Why do you think the author stated “first covenant” in this chapter?

What Can I Do Besides Pray?

Q. I have a specific issue.  It’s obvious that, especially considering the times we live in, our most important priority is to pray for those around us to be saved, since prayer is the most we can do and otherwise, we can volunteer, attend our churches, etc.  But what can I do besides pray?  I know that prayer will lead me far, but is there anything else I can do in the meantime?

More 2012 Follow Up

Q. You have become one of my favorite people to read.  Your article on 8/29-2012…The End Of The World was both exciting and scary. I thought you tempered it well, as you always do, so I am not going to sit on the roof in 2012, but I had a thought this morning that raised a question.

Is Holy Laughter Holy?

Q. I appreciate your answer to my question “Open to Misinterpretation”. I received  an email from a friend. It is full of scripture references that she says support the practice of holy laughter. To me it’s a great example of manipulating scripture to suit your own purpose.  What do you think?

Giving Our First Fruits

Q. I just came across your section on tithing and it brought up a question I have had for a long time.  Since taxes get taken out of our gross pay before we even see the check, how can we give the first fruits?   Is there a way that you know of to pay our taxes differently so that we can truly give our first fruits to Him?   And it says the first fruits of our increase, does this mean non financial things also?  Someone had donated a car to us and I’m not sure how to deal with that.  And what about time?  Every day we are given 24 more hours, can you imagine what our world would be like if we all tithed 10 percent of our time to Him?

What About The Untold?

Q. Do you have any thoughts on the eternal fate of the “untold”, those who have lived their lives, died and never once heard the gospel.  Would they suffer the same punishment as someone who has heard the gospel and rejected it? Read Post »

An Alternate Location For Ezekiel 38?

Q. Is there a possibility that the Gog Magog War may not take place in the
Middle East but in the “Appointed Place” or “Wilderness” that was given
to Ephraim and Manasseh?

The above question is from the last paragraph of an article I read recently.  This is the first time I have ever heard of this.  Is there any validity to his argument? Read Post »
