Q.  I have always thought the anti-Christ’s war against the saints in Daniel’s 70th Week would concern gentiles that come to know Christ after the rapture.   But could that scripture also apply to Jews that come to know Christ after the rapture? Will Jews also be called ‘saints’ if they accept Christ after the rapture or is this a term reserved for Gentile believers? Or reserved for the church only? If it’s reserved for the church only that means a pre-trib rapture is not possible as the A/C will be battling the church ‘saints’.

Q.  Re: Inspiration of Scripture.  We often hear people claiming this confidently but is there really a verse that really claims that the entire Bible is the word of God?   2 Tim. 3: 16 speaks along those lines but to me it refers more to Old Testament scriptures  rather than all other scriptures. What are your views on this?

Q.  My preparations to teach an adult Sunday school class at my church led me to the  mention of the “Iniquity of the Amorites is not yet  full” in Genesis 15:16 .  I expressed my conviction to the class that God’s destruction of every nation and people in history has always followed when His warnings against wickedness were ignored and that America’s descent into the abyss of evil in defiance of His warning means His judgement is sure to follow.  Some astute class members really agreed, but some others were offended by my analogy to America.  Somehow, apathy and outright apostasy seem to lurk in even churches where the Gospel is faithfully taught.  Have you also found this to be true?

Q.  In light of the recent discoveries of oil and gas reserves in Israel’s territorial waters, it struck me as odd that Israelis would be burning weapons left from the Gog/Magog Battle.  This can only mean one thing:  the Israeli survivors will be scavenging.

Q.  My Bible has a footnote on John 11:26, about which I have a question. The footnote claims that the phrase ‘shall never die’ refers to the second death of Revelation 2:11 and 20: 6. To me the phrase suggests the rapture. Your opinion, please.

Q.  Re:  How Important Is Asking?  Reading this made me ponder on my own circumstances when I got saved. Someone told me about Jesus one night years ago and I immediately became full of joy and excitement at the thought of asking the Lord to be my savior and to forgive my sins. I believed at that moment that Jesus was the only one who could save me. However, being a shy person I waited until I was alone (that same night) before I asked Jesus to save me and forgive my sins. So, my question is “was I saved in between the time I was first told and believed it until I officially asked for it less than an hour later?”

Q.  I have a friend who believes those who have gone to hell can still be saved at the great white throne judgement. What is this? I’ve never heard that people could repent of sins on earth after they have died.  Can you please give me some insight to this line of thought? Please provide Scripture to back it up or refute it.

Q.  How important is the asking for salvation, really? I mean, if you know you’re a sinner in need of a savior and believe that Jesus died for your sins, that would be enough, right? Do you still need to ask for salvation to be saved?  In John 3:16 it says that whosoever believes in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life, which would indicate that belief is all that’s needed and not necessarily the asking, is this a correct interpretation? What is your view on this?

Q.  I have a disabled son. He has a variety of problems. It seems new “conditions” keep getting added on. We have prayed for years for healing, but he just gets worse.  A family member told me; “God’s plan for your son is a short life full of pain but He has purpose in that pain”.  Does God function that way?
