What Is Purgatory?

Q. I thank the Lord for you, your staff and for this website.

In regards to your articles on Jesus preaching to the spirits in prison, is this the same place what the Roman Catholics believe as PURGATORY? If not, where did they get the concept from?

Catholic Christians?

Q. Your answers to questions have cleared up many areas of Bible prophecy in which I was confused or just did not understand.  You are a blessing to all of us who desire to understand God’s prophetic word.  May God continue to bless your ministry!

I recently read on your site, that you believe that many Roman Catholics will be raptured, leaving the church in a state of chaos. Would you please share your belief of this, my heart has been heavily burdened for Roman Catholics, and any encouragement you could provide would be a true ministry to me.

Can The Elect Be Deceived?

Q. Matt. 24:24 says false prophets/messiahs will deceive the very elect “if it were possible.”

Does that mean what I think it implies, that the “very elect,” the born again, cannot be deceived by false prophets/messiahs?  That it is not possible for us to be deceived?

How far does God’s hedge extend for our protection?  Does it protect against deception by false prophets and false messiahs only, or does it go so far as to protect the Church from being deceived by phoney doctrine?  Are we safe from being deceived?

Are God And Allah The Same?

Q. While subbing in a Sunday School class a member declared that Allah and The God of the Bible were the same. He said that Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship the same God by other names. I know that Allah arises out of the pagan gods of Babylon but I need back-up proof when I challenge that statement. Can you help me once more?

Is Holy Laughter Holy?

Q. I appreciate your answer to my question “Open to Misinterpretation”. I received  an email from a friend. It is full of scripture references that she says support the practice of holy laughter. To me it’s a great example of manipulating scripture to suit your own purpose.  What do you think?

Captives Or Participants

Q. Are the wicked people of this world “captives” of the devil and sin (unfortunate victims of the devil) that only need to be set free ….. or sons of the devil who actively and willingly “want to carry out [their] father’s desire” (willing participants rather than victims) who “belong to their father the devil” and therefore as sons/daughters have a place in his (devil’s) family?

The Zeitgeist

Q. I am a Christian mom in my mid fifties and my daughter is 19.  She asked me to watch a video called “Zeitgeist” (spirit of the times) and it compared the Zodiac signs and symbols with the Christian religion.  (The narrator) showed how other civilizations had myths that were similar in their story line to the story of Jesus.  He implied that we copied the story of Jesus and his death and resurrection from the pagan myths that came before Him.  Your website has encouraged me over the past 5 months.  You have helped me see things in a realistic view and now the End Times scriptures have come alive for me. Please  help.

The Fate Of False Teachers

Q. What do you interpret the bible as saying the fate will be for those pastors/ministers, etc. who knowingly,enthusiastically teach false doctrine and who are leading their sheep astray into the world church movement, especially those who say the bible/christianity needs to be re-written? Is this not sin against the holy sprit? Read Post »

Signs And Wonders

Q. There is a movie circulating around the charismatic community that primarily highlights the workings of  charismatic faith healers throughout the world.

I have read about the risks of the signs and wonders movement bringing the church toward a dangerous new age philosophy. However, thousands are being brought to Christ in Asia and Africa through transforming miracles. Read Post »

Reading The Apocryphal Books

Q. I am interested in reading the books of the apocrypha. Am I correct in the basic understanding that they are NOT divinely inspired, but interesting historical records? I’m confused about what (if any of them) are a good read. For instance, I’ve heard that the Gospel of Judas (while not typically associated with the other apocrypha books) is sacreligious. Are all of them? What about ones quoted in the Scriptures (the Book of Enoch)? What would you recommend? Read Post »
