Q. I’ve been bothered as of late, with a kind of curiosity that has beset me that wants to know what is the deal with magic. I know the scriptures say that the dark arts are a bad thing. I know that dealing with anything that summons demons is a bad thing of course. My interest has brought me upon a book titled “The Book of Abramelin”  This book is said to be a originally written by a Jewish Talmudist and contains information on how to achieve “knowledge and conversation” with the “Holy Guardian Angel”  What are your opinions on magic and the Kabbalah, and if somebody like me who has the holy spirit within me, am I protected against the evils of magic? Or is magic an area I should avoid all together?

Q. I like reading your Q&A during lunch and noticed the posting yesterday concerning King’s Saul’s salvation that brought to my mind a question I have had concerning King Solomon’s salvation. That led me to so a search of “Solomon” on your site wondering if anyone had asked you about King Solomon’s salvation. We know God gave him wisdom beyond any other man and Solomon also acquired great wealth, but Based on 1 Kings 11:33 I wonder the same about King Solomon.

Q. This doesn’t mean that the people are sinning during the millennium when Satan is bound for that time does it, but that after his release he is able to convince man to sin again, as he did Eve in the garden?  And he will be released for a time, which could be quite a period of time, as in the days of Adam to Noah, it didn’t take long for the whole earth to become evil.

Q. I am very concerned that getting angry at God, telling Him off, and tearing the Bible means God will never forgive me.  I have since seen the error of my way and even when I thought I had been doing God’s will before this incident, I was wrong.  I had been baptized before all this happened.  Will God forgive me now?

Q. I was recently watching Passion of the Christ and in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was praying for God to “save him, deliver him” and almost begging.  Yet in one of your articles I recently read (sorry, not sure which one) you mentioned that Jesus had scores of angels at his “beck and call” and all he had to do was call on them and the whole thing would come to an end.  In other words, he didn’t have to do this, but he chose to.  Yet, in the Passion it seems like God forced him to and he was begging to be delivered.  Was that prayer something Mel Gibson made up? Or do we know specifically what Jesus was praying at the Garden?

Q. I have years and years worth of questions written in my prayer journal that I want to ask someone, as soon as I get to heaven!  So, will I have to ask or will we be instantly infused with all knowledge upon arrival? I have a million of them! Will I even care once I get to heaven?

Q. Thanks so very much for your thoughtful help with scripture. I guess my question has something to do with the rapture. In 1 Thessalonians 3: 13 Paul is asking the LORD to increase the Thessalonian believers love so that HE may establish their hearts blameless in holiness before the FATHER at the coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST with all HIS saints.  It sounds to me as though Paul wants them to be ready for the comming of JESUS with all  HIS saints rather being one of the arriving saints.

Q. While visiting a local church, we were introduced to the idea of “a 2nd work of grace”. We were told that you can obtain perfection through sanctification while still on earth, at which point you no longer sin. Instead, you only make mistakes. In addition, you can lose your salvation before you are perfect but, you can also be saved again. This goes against everything we have ever studied and we just don’t buy it. We would appreciate your comments.

Q. I was wondering where in the Bible you came to the conclusion of this statement you made on your article “Flesh And Blood And The Kingdom Of God” “Old Testament Jews who are resurrected at the end of the Great Tribulation will live with Jewish believers who survive the Great Tribulation in Israel.”  I had never heard this before in all the Bible teaching or reading I have had.
