Q.  I am wondering if you might help me to understand what’s going on in 1 Cor.14:22 where Paul writes, “Tongues then, are a sign, not for believers, but for unbelievers; prophecy however, is for believers, not for unbelievers”.  Then, in the next verse he says, “So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind?”  Now in v.22 he said  tongues were a sign for unbelievers, whereas in v.23 he said  if everyone in the church speaks in tongues, unbelievers who hear it will think everybody is crazy.  This seems to be a contradiction.

Q.  When my oldest son was younger he believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Since coming back from war in Iraq, seeing what he saw and doing what he had to do, he now says that all religions are the same.  Control and killing each other, all man made.  I know that once we are sealed, nothing can separate us from God.  But can a person ask the Lord to forgive them, believe in Him, and then turn away from him?

Q.  I was in Church on Palm Sunday sitting next to my brother. I heard the Pastor make a statement that John the Baptist was resurrected.  My brother and I looked at each other and both of us said, “I didn’t know that.”  Is there any scriptural evidence to back this up?  I left this particular church awhile back because of many doctrinal statements this pastor has made that I was in disagreement with.  I’m wondering if this is yet another one.

Q.  I’ve been watching “The Bible” series and have a question.  I don’t believe Jesus had any female followers traveling with him and the 12 disciples.  Is this correct?

Q.  Was the Last Supper a Passover Seder?  The gospels are somewhat confusing to me concerning this.  Matthew , Mark , and Luke seem to indicate that it was. But the gospel of John indicates that Christ was betrayed and crucified before the Passover Seder. Is there a conflict between the Gospel accounts?

Q.  Our study group has been going through your “The Last 8 Days” articles and have a question regarding the following statement:  “The disciples knew the 483 year mark had been reached a few days earlier and that the Messiah was among them.”  The person with the question said that is not said anywhere in the gospels.  Would you please let me know how the disciples knew that, so I can give them an answer?

Q.  I have been witnessing to a friend who is a lesbian. She feels that since she believes in Jesus she is saved, but I have a problem with that  because Satan and demons believe but we know they aren’t saved. Every time Jesus healed someone we know they believed in Him because they had faith He would heal them, yet Jesus told them to go sin no more. Repentance is a big part of Salvation and yet some people don’t believe you have to repent to go to heaven.  They say John 3:16 says plainly that he that believes in him shall have eternal life. What about repenting?

Q.  I have a question about the inhabitants who will live in New Jerusalem during the millennium and beyond.  People say the church, Bride Of Christ, will be those who dwell there. I agree, but a question always tugs away at the back of my mind about the city Abraham was looking forward to as recorded in Hebrews 11:10. “For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God”.  There is only one city that I can recall in scripture whose builder and maker would be God, and that’s the New Jerusalem.  So, if  Church age believers are going to be the only occupants of New Jerusalem, what city is Hebrews 11:10 all about?
