Who Are The Sons Of The Kingdom?

Published: August 20, 2021
Q

I came across a verse that I don’t understand, I am hoping you can help me. In Matthew 8:12 it says, “But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness.” Who are the “sons of the kingdom?” Thank you for your help.

 


Messiah Or Christ?

Published: August 20, 2021
Q

Why do you persist in refusing to use “Messiah” as the correct definition of our Savior? Your constant use of the word ‘Christ’ simply continues to maintain your readers in ignorance rather than to enlighten them with the truth of His name which is, “YaH-SHua Ha-MaSHiaCH” or in English… Jesus the Messiah. When He lived and began His ministry never was the name ‘Christ’ used! Messiah, yes, but Christ? No!


OSAS, Really? Follow Up

Published: August 19, 2021
Q

After reading OSAS,Really? and many of your other responses concerning OSAS, I can’t help but wonder why some “Christians” still have a hard time understanding our eternal security. Its a simple concept and is backed by strong unrefuted verses. I have discussed this with some believers who don’t believe in OSAS and they never refute the verses that support OSAS outright but instead refer to other verses. Is it because they are really unbelievers who haven’t genuinely accepted Christ alluding to the possibility that they haven’t been born again, therefore spiritually dead, or is it simply a lack of understanding intellectually?


Does Sin Still Matter?

Published: August 18, 2021
Q

Why would Jesus give the command, “Go and sin no more,” in John 8:11, if future sin is pardoned and freely embraced? And is future sin not effectively sin until it becomes established and is thus past? Is one’s own future sin to be lamented when free will is still available? Does grace truly received let us go forward though it’s misunderstood by the world? Or does grace abolish sin, even the future kind?


The Coming Temple Revisited

Published: August 18, 2021
Q

If the Tribulation period is to be seven years long, and if there is to be a Temple that the Anti-Christ will use (and abuse), how can a Temple be built in such a short period of time? Didn’t Herod’s Temple take about 40 years to be built? You have also indicated that you think the Temple may be built in Shiloh. Can you elaborate on that?

I have a question about verse Luke 9:23. Is this verse talking about sanctification? or eternal salvation? And finally, what are we to deny ourselves? Thank you for your time.


Becoming Who We Are

Published: August 17, 2021
Q

While reading Philippians 2:14-16, this verse says we are to do everything without complaining. Other versions use arguing, disputing, and grumbling. My question about this verse is: Is Paul saying that we must do everything without complaining or arguing so that we can be blameless and children of light while living in a warped and crooked generation? How do you interpret this verse?


More On The Sabbath

Published: August 16, 2021
Q

Re: Why Do You Do What Is Unlawful On The Sabbath? I wonder what made you want to write about the seventh day? After all it’s one of the 10 commands we have as guide lines for our lives. Clearly the fourth command upsets many and many will one day wonder why they made such a feast of trying to ignore it. There’s no other command that seems to attract as much reasoning why not to keep it as this one. The Catholics have tried to change everything that may link to the Jewish upholding of feasts, days, and times etal. More the reason to agree with our Father.

To those who delete from His scriptures He will delete from their future and to those who add they will receive the plagues.


What’s The Difference?

Published: August 13, 2021
Q

What is the difference between seeking the kingdom (Matt. 6.33) , and seeking God (Psalm 34.10) and how do we know when we have achieved these things to God’s satisfaction? In other words we have fulfilled the conditions so that God can begin to bless.
