Q. Other than my wife, you have been my closest relative in the Lord.  My question is regarding the Virgin Birth of Jesus our savior.  My wife (a baby nurse practitioner) and I are trying to confirm that Jesus was placed in the womb of Mary.  We believe that the entire person of Jesus (egg and sperm; i.e. zygote) was placed in her womb by the Holy Spirit (God).  Luke 1:28-31 are the appropriate verses.

Q. I would like to know the following.I am aware that Jesus Christ died for my sins,once and for all(me and everybody)  So,all my sins are forgiven,wiped away,I am clean. I assume that He died for my past sins,and the future sins,and that all sins are forgiven.  When “my sinful nature sins again”if I can put it that way,do I still have to ask for forgiveness of sins, (I have allready been forgiven) or do I just repent of my sins before God and admit that I sin and that it is wrong,and then thank Him that He has forgiven me allready?

Q. A question, please, concerning divorce between 2 Christians.  My husband of 9 1/2 years has left me, would not give me a reason, and filed for divorce which should be final soon.   When I asked him if he had prayed about this, he said yes, he had prayed for guidance, and he knew God would forgive him.  While I agree that God will forgive our sin, would God really “guide” someone to divorce?  I also prayed throughout this interim period, but certainly did not get that answer to my prayers.

Q. First of all, thank you for your wonderful website.  I have a question in wondering if there is a deeper significance than I realize.  When Jesus was accused, he remained silent.  When he was crowned with the thorns, the same.  When he was enduring the agony of the cross, the same.  His first “complaint” is when he cries, and then with a loud voice, “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me.”

Q. I would like to know your thoughts on natural disasters.  If God is omnipotent and omni-benevolent, why would he allow  people, including children, to perish in natural disasters? I know we live in an imperfect world, but surely an all powerful God could stop these things from happening.

Q. The Bible say God hates Sin and even on the Cross, when his own Son  died, he could not look at Sin and turned his head.  In Job 2:1  it says “..and Satan came also among them to present himself before the Lord”  In Revelation 12:10 it talks about the accuser of our brethren cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.  Satan is the ultimate in sin itself, why/how can God tolerate Satan in his presence?

Q. Why do some Christians turn away from sinful behavior and clean up their act, or try to, while other Christians think it’s okay to continue sinning because they are already saved? I hope you can shed some light on this matter for me.

Q. What is the reason God allowed Satan to survive for thousands  of years after his rebellion?  Why didn’t He just destroy him and his followers immediately?  After all- we know they will all be destroyed (sent to Hell – the burning lake of fire) eventually (I think very soon).  Can you imagine what life would have been like without Satan’s influence.   Probably much like Heaven.  Also, will unsaved people go to “the lake of fire” or do you think most go to “outer darkness” and suffer mainly the absence of God forever?
