Am I Worthy?
Published: May 30, 2016I never feel worthy, although I would die rather than deny Christ. I know my sins are forgiven, there are just so many good people, better Christians than I am, how can I live up to all this?
And what about the commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy? I don’t understand exactly what that means. I am no fool, its a huge requirement without understanding.
Woe To The Rich
Published: May 30, 2016Hello. Love your website. I know that James Chapter 5 describes a bad economic turn in the last days. (Weep and howl, ye rich men .) Do you think this chapter applies to the tribulation period? There have been depressions (and world wars, too) before the rapture, and there could be again, I suppose. But isn’t this ultimate economic shock in James 5 for the tribulation? Thanks for what you do!
Is There Evidence That Jesus Lived?
Published: May 30, 2016I wonder how it feels to be as stupid as you are. There is not one shred of evidence that Jesus ever lived. Besides the doctored Gospels of the Bible that the Romans put together based off older religions. Get some real information and stop depending on some man that never lived.
Who Are The 24 Elders?
Published: May 30, 2016Do you have anything on who the 24 Elders are? I am studying a booklet by a former pastor of a church I grew up in and he holds they are some form of pre-creation angels who rule the affairs of earth. This seem to me to smell of new age thinking and does not sit easily so I am researching at present so as to try and bring him some truth.
I’m A Missionary … Follow Up
Published: May 30, 2016In response to ‘I’m a missionary in my own church‘ – if believers are to concentrate on the three areas you mention within their own church, how do you suggest we reach the lost?
It troubles me that you can feel a stranger at times in your own church and there needs to be fellowship and friendships built for ‘..we are not to be yoked to unbelievers..’, but Jesus commanded that we spread the good news and make disciples. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. God Bless.
I’m A Missionary In My Own Church
Published: May 30, 2016I have come to see that the Church (all believers – past and present) has the responsibility foremost to glorify God and represent Him to this world in which we live. The church (the local assembly of believers) is for believers to encourage and build-up each other, not necessarily an evangelistic tool. The church of which I am a member seems to weigh heavily on the church “reaching the neighborhood” but weak on building up the saints. I feel such resistance to this push and am thus conflicted by not supporting the “push.” Do you have any insight on the roles (or are there even 2 different roles)? My husband and I have considered leaving, but feel like this is our “mission field.”
Can Mankind Avoid Sinning?
Published: May 30, 2016I was not raised a Christian and have only recently began seeking God’s truth. I believe in God and am trying to understand Christianity. It is my understanding that Jesus’ death washed away original sin introduced by Adam and Eve. With this in mind, could someone be immortal if they lived a truly sinless life? My idea comes from the quote “for the wages of sin is death.” Does this mean that death can be avoided by a truly sinless individual? I understand that this seems impossible, but is interesting from a theoretical perspective. Does it also follow that Jesus could have been immortal had he not taken our sins for us?
Can We Lose Our Salvation?
Published: May 30, 2016Can you give me a little history about the Doctrine of losing salvation? When did it first appear in the church and who brought it out into the open? Thanks.
Old Covenant Or New?
Published: May 30, 2016After the rapture and the Ezekiel battle when Israel sees the Messiah and rebuilds the Temple, I understand that they will resume sacrifices. My question is, why do they resume sacrifices? Or don’t they yet know that Jesus is their Messiah and that His sacrifice was perfect?
Is Head Shaving A Sign Of Mourning?
Published: May 30, 2016I was reading in Jer. 16:6 this morning and wanted to know more about the significance of shaving the head in mourning. Was that just to show an outward sign of mourning, or was that God’s way of showing people that they should be in mourning until their hair and beard grew back? I would appreciate any insight you might have on this.
