Q. One night around a bonfire our friends were talking about God. One man said he didn’t believe in God.  My husband told him to jump in the fire and see what hell felt like because without God that was where he was going.  But what about my husband ? All the while he was telling this man about hell my husband was steadily drinking his beer. He is from South Louisiana and all his people are cajun party people.  They believe you should live life and enjoy it. That means drinking, dancing and having lots of fun.  That is how he was raised and what he knows. Is he going in the rapture?

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. 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. First I would like to say I love your website and the truths of God’s word that are revealed through your teaching. I look at your sight weekly.  Now for my questions.   Was it really the prophet Samuel that supposedly came back to life in1 Samuel 28?  If not, who was it then? And did Saul go to heaven when he was killed?  This subject is a tough one our Sunday School class is currently tackling and we would appreciate your scriptural insight and teaching from Gods word. Thank you.

Q. Why didn’t Moses get to go into the promised land? I heard a minister say God told him that he would go with Moses into the promised land and Moses declined to go without the children of Israel.

I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise. I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.

Q. I so appreciate your taking the time to answer all questions offered to you.  I love your site!!!  Last night I felt the need to check a reference in the Bible, Acts 8:37 to be exact.  I was reading the NIV and low and behold it wasn’t there.  It skips from 8:36-8:38.  The RSV is the same.  It is however in the KJV.  It turns out to be important because if the translation is correct, Phillip tells the eunuch that since he believes Jesus is the Messiah he, the eunuch, can be baptized.  Why has this verse been deleated from the other versions?

Q. My Bible study on Sunday night the question came up about King Saul’s salvation. One lady thought there was a verse in the Psalms that said he was saved. The leader of the study thought he was not saved. I could not find the verse. Can you shed any light on this?

Q. I really enjoy your website and appreciate your teaching and insight.  In the letter to the church in Sardis in Rev. 3, I understand these letters are to the believing church.  In verse 2 “I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God”, and then in verse 5 talking about erasing your name from the book of life leaves me with a question as to these believes losing their salvation.  Although I understand that Jesus has taken our sin away and we can not work or have “deeds” to receive that salvation, can you explain the deeds part and the fact that their names could be removed from the Book of Life.

Q.The Bible identifies two possible roads, one broad that is followed by many and leads to death and the other a narrow road followed by few and leads to life.  Seeing that the Lord does not want any to be lost does this not mean some sort of advantage to Satan if he ends up with the most souls or is quality more important than quantity in this case.  Thank you for your invaluable guidance in these times that we live in,may the Lord bless and keep you.
