Absent From The Body, Follow Up
Published: February 26, 2008I saw your reply to the man who asked about absent from the body, present with the Lord. My question is this: today, my young nephew, in his twenties, died on his bike, when he ran into a truck, in another state.
He had asked my brother a few months ago, to help him with airfare, so he could come to our state and work and live. My brother said he didn’t have the money to help him with. Now my brother thinks that maybe if he had had the money, then maybe he would still be alive. He is trying to blame himself in some way.
What can I tell my brother? Was it just his time to go, or maybe would he still be alive if my brother had been able to send him money? I know that God does know when a person will die. Thank you so much.
Taking The Mark?
Published: February 21, 2008I’ve just read an article concerning putting in ID chips in some populations; maybe the U.S. Government will ‘chip’ all enlisted personnel. They are considering it now is what I read. Ontario is thinking of ‘chipping’ babies. I could give other examples but you see what I mean. To me this is very close to putting in The Mark! I just need to be very sure. We won’t be around when this is done by the Anti Christ, right? Sorry, but I’m feeling more then a little panic when I read an article like this.
Will Jerusalem Be Divided?
Published: February 21, 2008What does the Bible have to say about the dividing of Jerusalem in the last days, and where does that fit in to the time line of last days events?
Birds, The Lord’s Clean Up Crew
Published: February 20, 2008Question: As for the Gog war; the only thing that trips me up from believing it will happen before the 7 year Tribulation is the feast of Carrion mentioned in Revelation 19…could there be two feasts of Carrion-one before the Trib and the final one in Rev 19?
Speaking In Tongues Or Prayer Language?
Published: February 18, 2008I appreciate your website so much,may The Lord bless you and bless your service to Him. I am a believer since 1972.
When I first accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, 2 days later I received the gift of The Holy Spirit and I spoke in tongues for long time. I have the “prayer language” so to say. It doesn’t make me holier than thou, I realize that without Jesus I am less than nothing. My life as a believer has not been a “bed of roses”, but I thank The Lord for His faithfulness and Grace and Love.
I don’t understand why some believers attribute glossolalia ( tongues) to the work of the enemy.
I also believe that of course The Holy Spirit came to me before the baptism because I was a blind sinner and He convicted me of sin, righteousness and judgment and brought me to JESUS CHRIST.
I would love to hear your opinion to why so much contention about the baptism of The Holy Spirit and His gifts, even though I recognize that there have been abuses and abusers and there are still. Please what do you say?
Three In One, Follow Up
Published: February 17, 2008In your question titled “Three In One” where someone asked if there was a verse that said the Father, Son, and Spirit are one, what about 1 John 5:7?
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
End Times According To Ezekiel, Follow Up
Published: February 13, 2008I read with interest your commentary title “The End Times According To Ezekiel, Part 4”.
One comment in particular was this one; “I can’t imagine the enemy carrying in enough of any traditional energy source to supply Israel’s national power and heating needs for 7 years, so a more modern application is in order”.
Some thing else came to mind when I read this. Israel becomes energy independent. Energy independent means not to be in bondage with the world geo-economy, which will be controlled by the government of the anti-Christ. Israel will not be force to make a choice to take the mark of the beast to buy energy.
A Lie My Father Told Me
Published: February 13, 2008I have to comment on your response to the person who wanted to know if the nephilim could have been saved by the cross. When I was a very young girl, my parents were divorced and my dad got custody of my brothers and myself.
As I recall, I was nine or ten when my dad told me that he was not my father. He explained that an incubus had crawled in the window and had sex with my mother. I was the result. I was utterly destroyed by this lie. I KNEW that I KNEW that I KNEW that God could never love me. I became more and more mentally ill, and somewhere along the line became a multiple personality.
I was in my forties before I came to realize that I am fully human, and as worthy in God’s sight as any other human. I can’t go into detail all the ways my life was affected by this lie, but I am sure you can understand a little of how it was for me. I still can’t stand to see movies about aliens from outer space, etc.
I praise God that I am now whole, thanks to the healing touch of Jesus, and I have been reborn of the spirit. My whole family is amazed at my transformation. One of the first things I did as a new Christian was forgive my parents for the harm they caused me. I realized that we have the same enemy, but I have been set free, by the Grace of God.
My point is this: am I unique? Did Satan prompt other parents to tell similar lies to their children? I wonder if this person who wrote to you was trying to find a way out of their perceived trap? You see, they couldn’t tell you why they want the nephilim to be saved, since they would believe, as I did, that they could not trust ANYONE with the secret of their DN
I’m In A Hurry!
Published: February 6, 2008Thank you for the teaching on Ezekiel. But somewhat disappointing, because I was hoping that the next war would be the one we would be going home to the Lord. Boy it sure feels like a long ways away from now, or I’m in a hurry to go home. By any chance will we go home even though it is not Ezekiel 38 yet? I know we will not know day or the hour but I really hope that it is very soon. I see Tony Blair and others running for the EU president set in 2009. So could this be anti-Christ?
The Nationality Of The Anti-Christ
Published: February 4, 2008I have a question about Daniel 9:26 and the nationality of the anti-Christ. I should explain that I was reading about kings of north and south and it appeared to me that you were presenting the possibility of a Muslim anti-Christ. I thought from Daniel 9:26 that he will be Roman/European. Could you elaborate on this?
