Eternal Sonship Of Jesus?

Published: April 5, 2014
Q

Would you please help me with the understanding of Ps 2:7. There are those that teach that there is no eternal sonship and then this verse is quoted. I believe that our Lord Jesus was the Word and that the Word was with God and the word was God. This Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. That all things were created by Him and for Him. The Bible also teaches that He was before all things and by Him all things consist. Does this verse refer to a time when the Father defined the role of the Son or is there another meaning?


Dealing With Difficult People

Published: April 5, 2014
Q

Do you think God puts difficult people in our lives for a purpose? Do you think God wants us to spend more time with difficult people and let friendly people out of our lives? Do you think He puts them there to shape us, to mold us, to change our hearts, and to helps us grow to become more Christ-like (i.e conforming to the image of His Son-which is spiritual growth)?


A Powerful Delusion

Published: April 5, 2014
Q

I was wondering if you believe people are under a supernatural delusion as described in 2 Thessalonians 2:11 today or will this powerful delusion not be sent until some time during the Tribulation? It seems to me that people are walking around today unable to discern truth from lies. They seem to be oblivious to the rise of evilness and corruptness not only in other countries but also right here in the U.S. When do you think the Lord will send this strong delusion to the people who have not learned the truth of his existence?


Infant Baptism

Q

My mother and brother both attend churches that believe in baptizing babies. I was wondering where it says in the bible that babies always see the face of the Father, or something else that I could show them that would allow them to see the truth. Thank you so much.


The First Hebrew

Q

Why does Genesis 14 call Abram “Abram the Hebrew”? Wasn’t he the first Hebrew? Why was he identified with the “Hebrews” when there wasn’t really a Hebrew people yet, he was the only one?


The Way It Was Meant To Be. Follow Up

Q

Re: The Way It Was Meant To Be. Why is it necessary to “lump” into a general category, “prosperity teachers” and then accuse that “group” of being greedy and spending all their money on themselves? I find this distasteful and not very gracious. My husband follows you and thinks that when I listen to some whom he lumps in with your description, they are “false”. Yet I read your article, and it agrees completely with the lessons that my “prosperity” teachers have taught me!!

The Blood Moons And the Peace Treaty

Published: April 3, 2014
Q

I just read your article The Coming Blood Moons. I agree with your thoughts, although there’s a high probability that something of prophetic significance will happen in or to Israel between the spring of 2014 and the fall of 2015. Do you think that it could be the signing of the peace treaty with Israel ? I was reading in Joshua 9 where they were tricked into signing a treaty without consulting with The Lord. The United States is pushing so hard for Israel to sign this treaty, I can see them being pressured into signing before long. What are your thoughts?


Is Cremation Wrong?

Published: April 3, 2014
Q

I was wondering does the Word say anything about cremation, if it is right or wrong? I have been thinking of having myself cremated when I die. My family does not need the added expense of a funeral. I only have children and no spouse. It is just a body; my soul will be with Jesus.
