Q. In Matthew 7:13-14 it says that wide is the gate that leads to destruction, but it says that narrow is the way and some translations say hard is the path that leads to eternal life. Why is it hard if believing on the Lord’s death as payment for our sins is the only thing we have to do? What makes the narrow path hard?

Q. Lately on some of the radio broadcasts of sermons by popular Pastors I have noticed them referring to the land of Judea and Samaria as Palestine. One saying that Jesus was buried in a Palestinian tomb and another saying that God had made a Palestinian covenant with Joshua. I have searched out the word Palestine in several of the popular translations and it appears only once in the KJV Bible and none of the others. Am I missing something?

Q. I was watching a bible teacher I respect the other day and he said something I had never heard before. He said spirits can influence a child in the womb. He said in John the Baptist’s case it was the Holy Spirit influence when John leaped in the womb but he also said evil spirits can influence a child in the womb as well. What do you think?

Q I enjoyed your articles on “The End Times Empire. Rome, Or Islam, Or …?” I have also been intrigued by the increasing appearances of Mary and how she is so revered by all religions. But my understanding is that the Anti Christ is a male and that he is the one that will be worshiped. And the False Prophet will help that happen. It seems both are in the masculine in Scripture. So where does that leave us with Mary? How would she fit in with the Anti Christ and False Prophet?

Q. What is ‘The Anointing’? And to further quantify what is ‘The Anointing that breaks the yoke’? A pastor recently rebuked a teacher in his church for studying the history and events of The Bible so as to be able to teach / preach with clarity and accuracy. The pastor’s view is that there is no need to understand any of those factors. He said we should just minister out of our heart under ‘The Anointing’ and that our words will be right for the moment. The pastor’s view is that when you see people shouting and crying it is evidence of ‘The Anointing’ but if one teaches / preaches truth and what is factually correct but the people are not moved, it is evidence of the lack of ‘The Anointing’. Can you clarify this?

Q. I have a question about a popular TV preacher who’s always preaching, “God wants you to have lots of money, get the job, get the girl, etc”.
How many people have been extremely discouraged and feel like failures when this doesn’t happen for them? Maybe they even think God is punishing them by preventing them from attaining all that the prosperity teachers say they should have. What do you think of the prosperity gospel?

Q. What is your opinion on the art of yoga? I am saved and a Christian but I just started taking yoga and it’s been beneficial for stress-relief, toning etc. But it also involves something else other than exercise, I am told. I heard it involves the religion of Hinduism and I also notice during class there is an air of ” The Secret”, although it’s not mentioned. But they do mention having all power within us and things of that nature. My question is, Do you think I am able to practice and/or teach yoga for the beneficial aspects of it and not offend God?

Q. I’m sure you saw that Ahmadinejad told the United Nations that Al Mahdi was coming back soon in the company of Jesus Christ. Since his side and our side seem to be looking at the same guy and situation through polar opposite filters, doesn’t it seem more logical and effectual that the whole world would be united and deceived through a counterfeit Jesus Christ instead of some apparition of Mary?

Q. Did the early Catholic church create the Muslim faith? I ask this due to my own research which has not given me any solid evidence either way. From my understanding the Catholic church of that era created Islam to control the Jews and Christians for the Catholic church, but it got out of hand and Islam exploded into what we have today. Do you have any information about this?

Q. I have to say that I disagree with the advice you gave concerning the dream catcher. Dream catchers are not innocent souvenirs. There have been cases where parents hanged the ornament beside babies cribs, for the sake of bringing good dreams to their babies. The result was the opposite. The babies had nightmares instead.
