Q.  I have a  friend with a strange doctrine that bothers me. She believes that when Jesus died He paid for the sins of the world and all in it.  So far no problem with me.  Then she says that everyone is saved by that death without any actions, faith, or even knowledge of Jesus.  In her opinion people from other religions or no religion will go in the rapture and will go to heaven,  even without their prior knowledge or consent.  Frankly I’m flabbergasted and do not know what to say to her to convince her of her folly.

Q.   As a somewhat baby Christian there is something I do not understand.  I have read many examples of persons who have spent years in Bible study over a particular topic, and believe they have been led by the Holy Spirit to discern the meaning of the passage.  Yet, another person studies the same passage but their discernment has led them to the opposite conclusion!  How can this be?  How can we have this one magnificent book, yet no one can seem to agree on what it says ?  Is God a God of confusion ?  How can a young Christian have faith in their own ability to search out the scriptures and their meanings when there are so many different opinions as to what is being said?

Q.  I have been following you for such a long time; and finally decided to ask a question I’ve long wondered about.  You have become such an expert on answering scripture related questions; and I trust and respect your wisdom.  Would you share with me the technique (method) you find most helpful in studying the Word?  I’ve tried several methods and have lots of reference books, but still don’t seem to have a handle on the best way.  I, too, believe time is short; and I want to learn all I can while I’m still here.

Q.  I heard a speaker explain that the Gospel was mentioned in the Old Testament and that people need to know the whole Bible and not just the words of Jesus.  But lately my husband is just interested in the words of Jesus and in listening to and wanting to get a CD of all the words in red in the Bible.   I would appreciate your insight into this as I can’t seem to talk to him about any other part of the Bible as he is only interested in the ‘RED WORDS’.

Q. Thank you again for your ministry, you have helped us to rightly discern God’s truths. I have a relative who is a fairly new Christian, and who wants to understand Scripture NOW, right now, and when he doesn’t, he has a tendency to think that it’s because it’s too vague and doesn’t really apply anymore, or is not true.  He professes his faith in the LORD, but hasn’t yet done any in-depth Bible study. What do you recommend?

Q. Who is the Prophet mentioned in John 1:21? I always thought that the Prophet was Jesus Christ but why would they ask John that if he was the Christ and the Prophet as if they were two separate people? Can you show me some passages that show Jesus is also the Prophet?

Q. I hope this question is in line for what is considered acceptable. I have a 24 year old son who I love with all of my heart. He is not saved and when I try to speak to him about God being the only way he gets angry with me and starts referring to the Old Testament and how God ordered groups of people to be killed including woman and children; wanting to know how I can trust that kind of God? I don’t know how to answer this as I also have questions about things, but I trust that God had His reasons for what was commanded and one day I will understand, but for my son it’s not so easy.

Q. I am a believer of the Bible and I hear where people become a believer and instantly want to read the Bible everyday, but that did not happen to me.   I study it in a different way by reading different books on bible prophecy and going to different websites like yours and Hal Lindsey, Prophecy in the News, and  Prophecy Update.  Is that wrong or does it really matter where you get your information about the Bible?
