Q. I have a question regarding Revelation 3:5 and the Book of Life. My pastor recently preached this verse to say that all the names of every human being who ever lived has their name written in the Book of Life, then if they die without faith in Christ, their name is blotted out. However, when I look at this verse it speaks of not blotting out names. I have always understood that the Book of Life has only ever contained the names of the elect, and that this verse assures us that we cannot lose our salvation: if we have repented of our sin and accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, then we can never lose the promise of our eternity with Christ, we can never be blotted out of the Book. Can you please clarify this for me?

Q. In one of your questions the person makes a statement about people going to heaven when they die.   Your reply does not seem to answer this point fully, to my mind.  My question is, where do they get their info from?  Where in the Word does it say that anyone goes to heaven when they die?

Q. My question has to do with 1 Timothy 2:8-15 and in particular verse 15. As I was reading this morning, I read my wife this passage and she looked a me in amazement and with a resounding “what do you mean saved through childbearing?”.  Now I know we are all saved by first believing in Jesus by grace through faith and nothing else.  So does this verse have another meaning to being saved?

Q. I have not asked a question in a while, but I am a regular visitor to your site. I wanted to ask how a soul can be saved if they believe JESUS is in any way less than GOD himself?

Q. My son asked me a question about what happened (eternally) to those who lived at the time of the old testament, but maybe were not able to hear about God-will they go to Heaven?  I think I remember something in the Bible that they should know there is a God because of the world around them—-  Is that partially right?  What  did happen to those people who did not hear of the one, true God?

Q. I have been an avid reader of your website for a few years now & your wisdom and insight into prophecy is truly a God-given gift.  In reading your answer to understanding the Bible, you stated that all believers have been given this ability, and faith is the key that unlocks it. I agree 100%.  But what about non-believers?  In 1 Corinthians 2:14 we read,  “The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.”  Isn’t this a type of Catch-22 situation?

Q. I still have a question regarding Satan.  If he was in heaven he must have believed in God.  He was a guard of God’s throne.  He must have at one time loved God.  He let the sin of pride creep into him.  Isn’t this an early and  prime example of how one could lose his or her salvation by turning against God and letting sin take over in one’s life.  If you follow the OSAS theology you would have to say that Satan was not really saved or believed in God to begin with.  The bible is very clear that Satan will be thrown into the lake of fire.

Q.  Could it be that this person has become a Messianic believer?  The Messianic movement is both Jewish and Christian believers that celebrate together as “One New Man” in Messiah.  They fully believe in Yesuha, Jesus, and still follow the law of Moses.  Jewish believers in Jesus, have not given up their faith, they have found their Messiah.  But because our Father in heaven has given them special laws to follow, they have not abandoned them, they still follow the ways of old, but add joy to their holy days in Messiah Yesuha .

Q. I am confused about the Jewish people and salvation. How do God’s chosen people become saved? Is it only by faith in the life and work of our Savior Jesus Christ? Thanks for your work too!
