Proving Eden

Published: February 2, 2016
Q

I am 17 yrs old, studying Religious Studies in school. My RS teacher challenged me by saying, if everything the bible says is true then what evidence is there that suggest that Eden exists? Can you please help me answer this question?

Also it was also pointed out in the Bible that Cain left his family and found himself a wife. I was just wondering did God create other people besides Adam and Eve and isn’t every man supposed to come from Adam and Eve?


Can We Lose Our Righteousness?

Q

Ezekiel 18:24, says when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, all the righteousness he has done will not be remembered. So, if a born-again believer commits adultery and divorces their spouse, will all the righteousness done during the marriage (ie. tithes, helping the widows and orphans, charitable donations) be forgotten, and all the heavenly rewards built up to the point of these major iniquities be wiped out? If the person repents from these life-damaging iniquities, could the heavenly rewards be restored?


Has Satan Tricked Me?

Q

Is it possible to want so much to believe that you can be deceived into believing that Christ died for you? I have been struggling with this issue. The Bible strongly warns that there is an adversary prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he can devour. Can he deceive you to think that you believe in your heart when you only have mental knowledge, no matter how hard you pray?

Q

Why is Satan called the dragon and beast. Is it his appearance? Did his appearance naturally change after he rebelled? Also how did fallen angels and demons change in appearance?


Standing Up Under Temptation

Q

My question is whether there is a scripture about God taking us home earlier, snatching us from this world if we believe in Him but continue to live in sin? For instance would God shorten the life of a believer who couldn’t seem to escape from a lifestyle he or she knows is wrong?

I read an article that states archaeologists have found and verified parts of Nehemiah’s wall in the area of the Temple Mount. Does this fulfill any end times prophecy?? Thanks for your insight.


Healing The Boy With An Evil Spirit

Published: January 21, 2016
Q

I’m struggling to understand something in Matt. 17:17. The sick boy’s father told Jesus that he brought his son to His disciples earlier but they couldn’t help him. In verse 17 I’m not sure whether Jesus is talking to the crowd or to His disciples with that sharp tone of voice. I can’t imagine Jesus talking like that to his disciples in the midst of the crowd hence my doubt that he is talking to them. Do you think Jesus was talking to the crowd or to the disciples here? And if He was talking to the disciples then was He referring to the 9 or to the 3 he took to the mountain earlier?


Logos And Rhema

Q

God bless you and keep you for answering our questions daily. Please tell me the significance of the Greek words “Logos” and “Rhema” which, I was told in our Church meeting, are both translated as the Word of God. What do these 2 words mean in the New Testament when each is used and, is understanding their meaning useful and important to our Christian walk?


Was Jesus Hinting At The Rapture?

Published: January 21, 2016
Q

I have been doing a study in the Gospel of John and when I came across John 11:21-26 my curiosity was piqued. Are Jesus’ words to Martha in verses 25-26 hinting at the Rapture?

“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.”
