Hierarchy In Heaven?

Published: October 17, 2022
Q

It seems to me that not every saint will be on equal footing with each other after the rapture. Some will have stored more treasure in heaven, some will have crowns/prizes and some will not. Some will be in as though through fire etc. and yet we will all be priests and kings to our God. Will there be a hierarchy in the Bride of Christ after the rapture?


The Hebrew Calendar Year

Published: October 17, 2022
Q

Is it true that every 3 years the Jews would add a 13th month to their calendar? So,in a 7 year cycle of time 60 days would be added somehow. I’m not coming against the 2520 days written Biblically. I know those are literal and mean what they say. In other words,in a 7 year period,will a 13th month be added twice in that span of time?


Judging Satan

Published: October 17, 2022
Q

Based on your writing I understand that it’s your belief that Satan originally had his throne on Earth and was judged before the creation. I have read other commentary believing that it happened after. Can you elaborate on why you think that Satan was judged before the creation?


Did God Really Create Evil?

Published: October 14, 2022
Q

In Isaiah 45:7 God claims that He makes peace and creates Evil. I’m only interested on the “Evil” part. So God is responsible for the evil around the entire universe now that he created it? I ask that because if a scientist created some form of dangerous phenomenon among human species then he is held responsible for whatever damage that phenomenon will do.


Was Paul Called By God?

Published: October 14, 2022
Q

There are Bible teachers today that disregard the Apostle Paul’s letters, especially the book of Romans, and say that they should not have been placed in the Bible in the first place. They say Paul made himself an apostle, was never chosen by God and was at the end excommunicated. Could you please give your insight on this matter?


Three Essential Questions

Q

What is doing God’s Will? How do we obey the Gospel? And how do we “Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven”?


Where Should He Tithe?

Published: October 13, 2022
Q

A member of a local church has been given an opportunity to work abroad. In order to maintain his spiritual life, he attends services and gets involved in the activities of the current church (abroad). The member is somewhat confused because both churches (the local and the current church) state that they are in need of his tithes to support the ministry. Where should he tithe? To the present church (abroad) that he attends or to his previous church (local)?


Staying In Fellowship

Published: October 13, 2022
Q

I know I must sin a thousand times a day. Even the best I do is like filthy rags, so it seems that my very being, the fact that I live and breathe on this earth, is an offense to God. Even the best I do is a sin. When I confess, what happens if I forget the sins I do all day long? I’m sure I have a closet full of sins I’ve never confessed because there are so many I can’t even remember them. So, with so many unconfessed sins, how can I get and maintain fellowship with God?


What Does Repent Really Mean?

Published: October 13, 2022
Q

Can you give us a great understanding of the Hebrew and Greek words for our English word called Repentance? I know you think its translated from Hebrew and Greek to English as a change of heart but can you actually show us in words the translation from Hebrew/Greek to English?


The Father’s Will

Published: October 12, 2022
Q

I’ve recently listened to a sermon from a well-known pastor, and his call on biblical repentance, and holy living. One of his key statements, if you will, is that it isn’t if you know Christ, for even Satan knows him, but if Christ knows YOU, that determines if you are really saved.

This bothers me quite a bit, although he uses Matt 7:21 to justify his sermon, about those that say Lord, Lord, etc. We have verses, like Rom 10:13, that say everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.

So, I guess to finally get to my question: how do we compare these two things? If Jesus said those that are mine do the will of the Father, and yet it would appear that very few are doing the will of the Father, are they in fact truly saved?
