A Premature Conversion?

Published: September 6, 2021
Q

In your response titled “Born Again Before They Die?”, you stated: “They (young children) don’t need to be born again because they haven’t spiritually died, and they can’t be born again because they don’t understand what that means”.

My 7-year-old son accepted Christ as his Savior several months ago, after many hours of discussion, study, explanations, etc with him. Are you stating that this was a premature conversion, and he will need to “redo” this once “accountability” sets in (which I’m not sure I know the age of…)?


A Comment About Tithing

Published: September 6, 2021
Q

I read your Q&A on tithing but I have yet to find “tithing” in the New Testament. I’m not saying we shouldn’t give but I believe people should know the truth. Tithing is an Old Testament law that is not mentioned anywhere in the New Testament. Pastors refer to the Old Testament to guilt New Testament believers into giving more. Again, I’m not saying that we shouldn’t give as the Lord leads us, but where does the New Testament command us to tithe?


Born Again Before They Die?

Published: September 3, 2021
Q

A child when born is body, soul, and spirit. At some point because of the sin nature he becomes spiritually dead. Is the point of spiritual death simultaneous with the age of accountability? Can a child be reborn (saved) before he experiences spiritual death?


Did They See God Or Not?

Published: September 3, 2021
Q

I was doing a study of Exodus and came across Exodus 24: 9-11. Could you help me understand why was it that the Lord allowed all these men to see Him while stating many times throughout the Bible that no one has ever seen Him and that to see Him is death. Does the statement that they “went up and saw the God of Israel” imply only that they went up and interacted with him or does this mean they actually looked at Him?


A Famine Of The Lord’s Word

Q

It is my pleasure, once again, to seek your thoughts about matters pertaining to the end times. Throughout your commentaries, I believe you stated there will be a lack of Bibles during the end times. Why is this so?

 


Did The Women Know?

Published: September 2, 2021
Q

Thank you, as always, for your dedication to some of the deepest study of the Word that I have ever read. It has helped me understand so much that I couldn’t before I found your site and your answers always ring true in my soul so I know they are inspired by the Holy Spirit. I have searched through all the Nephilim questions and could not find the answer I’m looking for this time. Is there any evidence that the human women that bore the Nephilim knew that the beings they were having sexual relations with were fallen angels?


Dividing The Earth

Q

The Bible mentions Peleg, son of Eber, saying that in his days the earth was divided. Is this the ground or the people? Thank You for your very blessed website.


Isaiah 53, A Jewish Perspective

Published: September 2, 2021
Q

Do the Jews accept Isaiah 53 as a valid part of the Hebrew Scriptures since it is a prophecy of Jesus? Or do they believe it was included in error?


A Man On The Throne Of God?

Published: September 1, 2021
Q

I was just reading Luke 22:69 and wondering how Jesus could be sitting at the right hand of God when he is God. I believe in the trinity so I was thinking that much like a clover leaf that has three heads yet one stalk, if that is the case for the trinity then how is Jesus sitting at the right hand of God? Is this a symbolic thing?


Meal Time Prayer

Published: September 1, 2021
Q

The blessing at meal-time has become a source of derision in our family. The repetitive nature of it makes my skin crawl each time it is said. Also, it is my belief that the head of the household should say the evening meal prayer. But my husband disagrees. He feels everyone should take turns saying it. Now nobody wants to. I wish it was lovely and different each time and that we could include things that are happening in our family and ask for specific blessings, etc. But is that more like a regular prayer and not a meal-time blessing?
