Your site had helped me incredibly and I thank you for having such a site on the web. My question is, are blood transfusion acceptable by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior?

My pastor recently stated that Satan is bound up right now. I thought that this was going to happen during the millennium, he would be released for a short time and then put away forever. My understanding has been that Satan is able to roam the earth and still has access to heaven, too (Job 1: 6&7). Can you help me or direct me to any scriptures that might clear this up for me?

Just recently we discovered that a long-time member of our para-church ministry has begun a romantic relationship with another member (both are single). They will be getting married soon but have already moved into the same house and are living together. We found this out at our annual convention when we discovered they were sharing a hotel room. Several members of the ministry (including us) were disturbed and we offered to provide another room but it was not accepted. Later we suggested they either get married now or live separately until the wedding. They said they’re not doing anything wrong and ignored our suggestion. What should we do?

What is Jesus trying to teach us from Matthew 19:11-12?

Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

In the Kingdom, who will sit on the throne in earthly Jerusalem? Will it be Jesus or David? As I understand it, God will be present in Jerusalem, but also in the New Jerusalem where the Church will live, as will Jesus. Who will be charged with day-to-day governance of the natural humans in Israel — who will be the “cops”?

And, in the rest of the world — the believing Gentile survivors — who will run things? Does the Bible address this, or are these more of the things we are not told about and will simply have to wait to see what develops?

I was reading an article about the star that lead to Bethlehem. This article claimed Jesus was born around 7 to 5 B.C or around that time. I always thought

I had a question about your article on once saved always saved. You make some great points, but I’m confused because of the letters Jesus had John write to the 7 churches in Revelation. Over and over he tells them to repent or suffer some kind of punishment. Yet, they were saved…they were part of His church. How can this be?

I had a discussion with a non believer today and he said he believes Satan is on the earth today having been cast to earth when he rebelled. I tried to explain that Satan will be cast to earth at the beginning of the great tribulation but was unable to explain why I thought he abides in the heavenly realm right now and is not permanently present on earth . Can you give me an easy explanation for this?

I am a first semester seminary student. I was wondering if the current Israel is the Israel that will face the great attack mentioned in Ezekiel 37-39, or will this attack come on an Israel who knows and is walking with God at a later time in history? Could this event take place hundreds or more years from now? My understanding is that the current Israel is mostly atheist in belief, although some do know God personally. Does this event depend on Israel’s spiritual relationship with God?

I read an article by a respected end times scholar that the Sheep and Goat judgment is for Gentiles. I assume that must be because of the questions asked by Jesus as to what they did or did not do for His brethren, Christ considered was done unto Him. That seems a bit like “good deeds” added to faith? But my main question is since the believing remnant flees to Petra, do we assume all that didn’t flee did not become believers but perished?
