Did God Create Cain’s Wife?
Published: March 16, 2014Is it possible God made a wife for Cain much in the same way He did for Adam? That way incest isn’t in the equation, especially when God condemns incest later in scripture.
Dishonoring My Pastor?
Published: March 16, 2014I am a believer in church age OSAS, it is just that I had a conflict at my old church and my pastor told me to “stop trying to prove once saved always saved” (since it was dividing the church up) and just live for Jesus. At the time, I put up an article about it and tagged many of my friends in it, something I regret doing so I understand where he is coming from. After that I just stopped talking about it and continued to believe in it, but I feel like I am disobeying my pastor by believing in it. I love God and I want to do what he says, but I do not want to dishonor my pastor. What do I do?
Jealousy And Politics In The New Jerusalem?
Published: March 16, 2014Some thoughts came into my mind yesterday. If millions of raptured believers live in New Jerusalem, is it possible for human friction, jealousy and politics to abound in New Jerusalem. I was thinking particularly about the Bema rewards that our Lord will give each one of us at His Judgment Seat after the rapture. Will believers become unhappy or jealous because they received less rewards than others? Will believers play politics (just like office politics and even church politics on earth) when they work for the Lord throughout eternity. I know it sounds silly because there will be no sin in God’s special enclave, but I can’t imagine that a billion people living in New Jerusalem (presumably an enclosed space) will not have friction or start playing politics.

What Does God’s Law Mean To Us?
Published: March 16, 2014I have been reading the book of Leviticus and my question is this. As a church saved by grace I find that we still refer back to the law, in this instance, the book of Leviticus for a very detailed and exacting guidance of righteous living before God. I know these guidelines were written for Israel but some of them were and are still relevant to our life today. Many churches will point a finger at specific scriptures that they believe support their doctrine (for example tattooing) I would appreciate some clarity on this subject.
The Promised Land in The Millennium
Published: March 16, 2014I’m a believer in our covenant keeping God, and take seriously His promises to Abraham and David etc. I’ve always been of the view that God is yet to fully establish the Messianic Kingdom that He has promised, and eagerly await the return of Messiah, when He will reign as King on the throne of David, here on earth, as per the covenants and the prophecies. However, Joshua 21:43-45 seems to suggest that the land promises were fulfilled. I know other places in scripture suggest otherwise, but I would appreciate your thoughts on this passage that others often cite against my views.
What Does Ezekiel 37:15-21 Mean?
Published: March 16, 2014Some Mormon missionaries came to my door and in our discussion they brought up the passage from Ezekiel 37:15-21 claiming it means the writers of the book of Mormon are from the tribe of Joseph and the Bible is from Judah and God will one day join the two together. This doesn’t sit right with me. What does Ezekiel 37:15-21 actually mean?
God’s Argument Against Evolution, More Follow Up
Published: March 16, 2014Concerning God’s Argument Against Evolution, you state that God rounded up those fallen angels and is holding them for judgment. I do believe that, but due to the Nephilim showing up later in the land of Canaan, was it a different group that did this a second time?
Why A Donkey?
Published: March 15, 2014What was the significance of Jesus riding a colt of a donkey? Was this a royal mode of transportation? Was it miraculous that he could even ride an unbroken colt? Or is there no more to it than showing Christ’s humility? I know there is a bigger picture and this was the only time Jesus let himself be declared the Messiah-King of the Jews and that the rocks would cry out if the people didn’t. I just have not heard why he chose a donkey.
End Times According to Daniel. Follow Up
Published: March 15, 2014In your study on The End Times According to Daniel (part 3), you state “With verse 36 we’ve shifted from history to prophecy”. You never state why you assume this is now in the future. Have you considered that possibly the king being spoken of is Herod the Great? He certainly fits the bill and then the history (history to us, future to Daniel) can just continue with astounding accuracy.
