Immorality In The Fellowship
Posted May 10th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. It Looks like the Church at Corinth had about as many problems as we do today. What exactly does it mean to deliver someone to Satan for destruction of the flesh that the spirit might be saved? Is this the same guy in 2 Corinthians Paul is telling them to forgive?
Does It Matter Whether I Sin Or Not?
Posted May 10th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I have accepted Christ as my Savior but am having trouble with the view that I can continue to commit adultery, to steal, murder or whatever and be in heaven with him. Was his death a licence for me to be able to do all these things and be saved or can his spirit live his life through me and I stop doing these sinful things? Or either way I go I am saved?
The Origin Of Our Sin Nature
Posted May 9th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. The Bible says in Genesis 1:27: “So God created man is his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” (RSV) If we are created in God’s image where does the sin nature each of us has come from?
Did He Repent Or Not?
Posted April 25th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I notice that in commentaries on 2 Cor 2, regarding the shunned incestuous believer, the commentators always insist the man ‘must’ have repented. But to me it seems that Scripture is silent on this point, and that in verses 7-9 it is the shunning believers that are instructed, as a test, to do the repenting, or turning. Is there a verse I am unaware of that indicates the believer repented? Or does God leave this unspoken so that even sinning believers will not be forever cast away from the fellowship of the saints?
What If We Sin In Heaven?
Posted April 22nd, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. Since the raptured Church will still have Jesus as our Savior in Heaven, if we happen to sin in heaven, will He still render to us the protections there as He did here on earth, interceding on our behalf before God the Father? After all, He promised to lose not even one of us from His hand.
Fulfilling the Jubilee Year
Posted April 20th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I wonder what you might think about the Jubilee. Since the Jubilee year starts on a Day of Atonement and since the Day of Atonement is a fall feast that Jesus will fulfill, it seems logical that Jesus will fulfill the year of Jubilee, too.
A Temple In Heaven?
Posted April 16th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. Could you give me some scripture for Christ sprinking his blood upon an actual “Mercy Seat” in heaven. My pastor says he can’t find any scripture for a “heavenly mercy seat” piece of furnishing where Christ sprinkled his blood after his resurrection. I was taught that the earthly tabernacle and all it’s furnishings were a picture of what was coming in Christ and his sacrifice on our behalf. I didn’t realize there is an actual temple with furnishings in Heaven.
Can We Sin After The Rapture?
Posted April 12th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. Thank you so much for sharing all your amazing wisdom! As I was going to sleep last night I suddenly wondered, can I sin in heaven after the rapture? If we can’t, does that mean our sin nature is tied to our mortal bodies? I just can’t stand the thought of going to heaven and then blowing it.
Seeing Ourselves As Hell Deserving
Posted March 28th, 2013 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. Looking at different articles on the internet, they say that we have to see ourselves as hell deserving before we can get saved. What is your view on this? I’m not denying that sin leads to death or anything, just wondering whether something like this would be an obstacle for salvation?
