Re: You Should Ask Her. I was dumbfounded by your statement, ” I know that some liberal denominations teach we should only pray to the Father in the name of the Son. That didn’t make any sense to me until I learned they don’t really believe in the deity of Jesus”. How do you balance this with the model prayer Jesus gave the disciples in Matthew 6? As a devout follower and believer in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, I always offer my prayers and petitions to the Father and conclude always in the Holy, precious, wonderful and majestic name of Jesus my Lord and Savior.

In the church I attend makeup is taboo, but I have always liked to use a little in my grooming. I do know there are a couple of scriptures that talks about the wanton eyes, etc. And there is the matter of Jezebel. I know makeup can be used for the wrong thing but is there anything in the Bible that forbids the use of makeup? Or does it fall under just using common sense or a control issue? This has been a controversy in the church for a long time. My husband says if I wear it, I am not following church government and I am not in line with the rest of the church. Can you help me?

How does one defend the faith of the Bible when it is not taken literally, when someone doesn’t accept the divinity of Christ, hell and eternal punishment, Christ’s substitutionary Atonement, His Miracles, the Virgin Birth, and probably doesn’t even acknowledge OT and prophecy? Also some of my friends believe all manner of false teachers could be saved because we can’t really know about a man’s so called ‘last moments’. How do I argue this? Of course I don’t know about anyone ‘s last moments but this seems to open a very wide door excusing false teachings and doctrines and gives false hope to the person’s family.

I just have a quick question. What did Jesus mean when He said He’d come at a time when we least expect it, when because of the signs all around us we expect Him at any moment, don’t we?

My question is: What happened to the cross that Jesus died on?

My understanding has always been that the Hebrew word HAM means black. As you know he was the second son of Noah whose descendants settled Egypt and Africa.

I’m shocked about the apostasy found in the “church” today. Is this normal? How shocked about it do you think the average person is?

In regards to the question from a reader about interracial marriages, is it true that Moses was married to a black woman?

I have a question about your recent post entitled “They Will Not Taste Death” in which you said, “There they were momentarily transported to the time of the 2nd Coming where they saw Moses and Elijah talking with the Lord in His glory.” I am familiar with the Transfiguration of Jesus, but had never heard before that what the disciples were seeing was the time of the Second Coming. Where does it say in scripture specifically that they were present at the Second Coming?

Re: He Denied Them Twice. Did those in Matt. 7:22-23 believe they were doing God’s will? Did they believe the Lord sanctioned their actions? It would seem they did if they approached Christ expecting Him to recognize them. Did God, then, allow them to deceive themselves and believe they were saved when they really were not?
