Having Rejected The Gospel, Can They Be Saved?

Published: January 9, 2015
Q

I thoroughly enjoy your website. It is a blessing to me. My question is if people hear the gospel and reject it before the rapture, will they be able to change their mind and accept Christ after the rapture? I have read commentaries that say it will be too late for them, and only those who have never heard the gospel will be able to get saved. What scriptures do you have to back up your belief?

Q

How can you say that Satan has not been thrown out of heaven yet. If you read Genesis thru Revelation we are taught that he has already been cast down. What you are talking about? Please help me understand.

What does history say about John the Beloved’s family? From what town was he born? And since he was there when Andrew met Jesus, do you suppose he came from the same location as Andrew?


What To Do About Church

Published: January 9, 2015
Q

My wife and I have been lifelong members of a denominational church that has recently embraced the homosexual lifestyle and is proclaiming that Christ is not the only way to eternal life. This has caused us to stop attending. We just don’t know what to do. All we want to do is love and worship our Lord. Scripture is clear, homosexuality is a sin, and Jesus is the only way to the Father. Do you have any suggestions on how a believer can sort this all out and make the right decision?


Our Next Life

Q

The Bible says that in the Millennium the old things will not be remembered. What, exactly, constitutes the ‘old things.? I’d like to see, up close and personal, the great events of history; the life of Jesus, the Flood, the Creation, etc. Will all of that be forgotten? And yes, there are some earthly things that I really enjoy, sports, trains, Mexican food, etc. Will those things be forgotten as well? What about relationships? Will we have best friends, lovers, romance, dancing, etc? David said in Psalms that he desires nothing except God. Really? So, does that mean we’ll remember nothing of our life here and know only God?


Is This The Rapture Or The Second Coming?

Published: January 8, 2015
Q

I am confused about some of the teachings you’ve been sharing with us regarding the men in the field and the women at the mill in Mt. 24:40-41. Is this regarding the rapture or the 2nd coming? Can you explain it again?


Our Ultimate Purpose

Published: January 8, 2015
Q

Thanks for your great illustration regarding “the fullness of the Gentiles” from Romans 11:25 in which you wrote, “According to my research the phrase “full number” is a nautical term that describes the number of soldiers and sailors necessary to operate a ship under sail. The ship couldn’t sail until they had the full number of crewmen. Once the full number was reached, off they went…” Obviously, God is waiting for that specific number to be reached before He calls us home. My question is what will the purpose of the church be once that number has been reached?


Two Groups Of Tribulation Believers, Or One?

Published: January 7, 2015
Q

In various answers you’ve spoken of tribulation saints of Rev. 7:9-17 and Rev. 20:4-6. Are you saying the tribulation martyrs (Rev. 20;4-6) are different then those believers who come out of the great tribulation (Rev. 7:9-17)? Would I be assuming correctly that Rev 7 tribulation people are those who survived through the tribulation and Rev 20 are those who died during the tribulation? If they are the same, then why do you say that the tribulation believers of Revelation 7:9-17 are never called priests? Are they not called “priests” in Revelation 20:6>

Q

To whom is Ps 34.10 reffering? The context makes no sense to me. I realize the term lions means different things in bible depending on context but here…? I have researched this but cannot find satisfactory answer.


What If I Can’t Answer?

Published: January 7, 2015
Q

One thing that has always made me wonder / sort of worry is when are facing Jesus Christ in Judgment ( like if we were to die) and he asks us ” why should I let you into the the kingdom of heaven”? I’m wondering what if I’m so tongue tied, and freeze up and cannot answer him and stutter? I’m afraid I won’t know what to say even though I know my answer would be ” because I accepted your payment on the cross for my sins, and put my trust in you alone”. I’m just afraid I will be so caught up in the glorious feeling, I wont know how to answer the Lord.
