More On Post Rapture Salvation

Published: September 20, 2011
Q

You’ve said many times, and I believe you, that people saved during the Tribulation will be responsible for keeping their faith intact during the Tribulation. What exactly does that mean? I am saved but still sin, even though I don’t want to. Some of my sins include anger and sometimes cursing in that anger, but I always, ALWAYS ask God to forgive me because I am truly sorry afterward. If a Trib survivor has anger with maybe cursing included, will he have lost his Faith? Is his faith the same as my Faith? Do you mean that he can sin no more, ever? Wouldn’t that be impossible?


Saved During The Millennium

Published: September 17, 2011
Q

We know from Isaiah 65:20 in a chapter discussing the Millenium, that there will be death during that time. In Rev 20 however there only seems to be a resurrection of unbelievers. My question therefore is – when are the believing dead raised from the Millennium? Do all believers survive the entire 1,000 years, or are there some Millennial believers who die but are raised at the second resurrection in Rev 20 and are the ones whose names are written in the book of life?


Could A Loving God Do This?

Published: September 16, 2011
Q

Hosea 13:16 states “Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” I’m having an inner conflict. This sounds like God is commanding his people to commit horrible acts, and I know if the Lord commanded me to do such things that I would have to refuse. Am I reading this passage wrong? I’ve always been taught that he is a loving God and I need help justifying this passage.


Can We Forestall The End Times?

Published: September 15, 2011
Q

What can be done to forestall the coming great events of the end times? (I worry for those who have not heard to good news.) I know there are unreached people and although I am really looking forward to the Rapture and being with the Lord soon and am praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, it bothers me that some will be left behind.


Does God Know The Rapture Timing?

Published: September 15, 2011
Q

My question concerns the verse in Romans that states the rapture will happen when the last Gentile is saved (my paraphrase) and thus it is a numbers based event not a specific day/hour event. I contend that there is a specific day/hour out there, perhaps very close now, known only to God. He isn’t delaying the rapture. He isn’t tarrying, and He can’t be hurried. It’s a specific day/hour that only He knows, but it’s out there.

As a follow up, there certainly are Jews coming to Messiah by faith these days, myself being one of them. So when the verse in Romans talks about the last Gentile coming to Jesus, what about Jews?


Elenin And The Earthquakes

Published: September 13, 2011
Q

Be on the look out for another major earthquake on September 26-27 when Elenin is in alignment again with the Sun and Earth. When Elenin was aligned previously with the Sun and Earth, the Earth had major earthquakes: 2/27/10 – Chile; 9/1/10 – Christhchurch, New Zealand; and 3/11/11 – Japan. You can verify this on NASA’s website: Is it coincidental that the UN will be meeting/deciding at this same time (week of September 26) on establishing a Palestinian state?


Why Not Sept. 29?

Published: September 13, 2011
Q

In your current article you seem to say the rapture can’t happen on Sept. 29. Couldn’t God arrange to have the full number of Gentiles come in by Sept. 29 to have the rapture happen on the Feast of Trumpets?


The Tower Of Babel

Published: September 10, 2011
Q

Most scholars believe the Tower of Babel occurred around 4000 years ago. So how can we reconcile all the evidence that seems to show people lived all over the world for 10,000 years or more?


Restoring The Relationship

Published: September 8, 2011
Q

I agree with OSAS, and I concur with the reasons you state. My question, therefore, is for clarification, not to be argumentative. If it is my sin nature, not I that offends after Salvation, why must I continue to confess and ask for forgiveness when I transgress? (I do, and I will continue, but I’m just curious about the logic.)


Why Did God Do That?

Published: September 7, 2011
Q

I am a Christian who shared the Gospel with a co-worker and was he was not satisfied with my answer. His question is why God created & allows Satan to exist & cause so much pain, death & suffering, especially if He knew that he would do this. He is a Vietnam veteran ( Marines) who has seen much action. Would you please help me to learn the biblical truth to better answer his & anyone who asks me this question?
