Q

The risen Christ had flesh and bones. Did He also have blood, or not?


Why Did She Say That?

Published: March 21, 2015
Q

Recently I met a woman. The third time we went out she advised me that she prayed in tongues and did not believe in dispensation theology. She knew my son in law graduated from Dallas Seminary. Her comment came out of the blue, as we were talking about something else at the time. When I asked why she brought it up she said she didn’t know. How do you deal with someone like that ?


Round Up Time?

Published: March 21, 2015
Q

I have come across a growing concern by many, that martial law is on the horizon. Apparently, FEMA has drawn up an extensive list of resistors and dissidents. It is said the resistors are gun owners, and the dissidents are Christians. If that is possible, then what’s to become of us? I thought we weren’t appointed unto God’s wrath. Your thoughts, please?


Thrones

Published: March 20, 2015
Q

I am in 2 Bible Studies at Church – one in Matthew and the another in Revelations. We ran across this verse in Matthew 19:28, and I do not know what the 12 thrones refer to. In Rev.4, I found 24 Thrones for the 24 Elders. Are the 12 Thrones in Matthew part of the 24 in Revelations 4 – or are they different ? We also discussed by 12, if there was only 11 Disciples left, after Judas. I appreciate your Biblical expertise on this question.


Looking For Jesus

Q

My question is in regard to Matthew 24:28: “For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles [vultures] will be gathered together.” Is the carcass Jerusalem during the Great Tribulation and the vultures all the nations that come against her?


Promises To Israel

Published: March 19, 2015
Q

My question involves Jeremiah 31:35-36 In this passage God is speaking to Israel saying that He has given the sun, moon, and the sea as an ordinance…(etc) and that if these ordinances should depart from Him, Israel shall also depart from being a nation before Him. Here He is apparently affirming that Israel will remain His chosen nation. And yet that seems to conflict with the fact that during the millennial reign, the sun, moon, and sea will no longer exist, or be visibly functioning. Can you explain this?


More On The 144,000 Of Rev. 7 And Rev. 14

Published: March 18, 2015
Q

Concerning The 144,000 of Rev. 7 and Rev 14. You have said Rev. 7 is referring to the Jewish servants of God and Rev. 14 is the church. If that’s the case, why are the numbers of both 144,000? Thanks for all your help, I have learned more from your website than all my teachings in church.


Post 2nd Coming Rapture?

Published: March 18, 2015
Q

How can the “rapture” be “imminent”? Acts 3:21 says that Jesus “must” stay in heaven (He is now there with the Father) “until the times of restitution of all things” which includes, says Scofield, “the restoration of the theocracy under David’s Son” which obviously can’t begin before or during Antichrist’s reign. Since Jesus must personally participate in the rapture, and since He can’t even leave heaven before the tribulation ends, the rapture therefore cannot take place before the end of the tribulation.


A Murderer From The Beginning?

Published: March 17, 2015
Q

Can you please clarify two passages in the Bible ? One is in John 8:44 which stated “He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him”. The other verse is in Ezekiel 28:15 which states “Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee”. These scriptures are both describing Lucifer are they not? If he was a murderer from the beginning, then how could he have been perfect in all his ways? How can they both be correct?


Who Are The Chosen?

Published: March 17, 2015
Q

I have a question about the “Chosen”. The scriptures teach us that all who believe are saved. To me that means anyone has the opportunity to be saved. Christ said when He was lifted up all men would be drawn to Him. To me that means he calls all men to repentance. I know not all respond positively to this call. Some accept and others reject. But what I’m trying to figure out is; Believing in free will opportunity for all, who are the Chosen?
