Is vegetarianism in the Bible? I read that Daniel went vegetarian to avoid eating sinful foods offered by the king. Jesus was a Nazarene. Weren’t they vegetarians? Jesus fed the people fish but it did not say that he actually ate it. The ten commandments say not to kill. Doesn’t that include animals?

At a recent Bible Study the teacher said that GOD started the flood on the day that Methuselah died . Have you ever heard this? I can not find it in my KJV Bible . Is this a Jewish tradition or math?

In Zechariah 5:9, who are the two winged women, are they female angels?

You have been so helpful in the past, I have another question for you that may benefit others. Jesus said that anything we ask that is in the will of our Father would be granted. If we ask God to increase our faith and love for him, will he do that? I know that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, but does that include giving us a deeper love for him?

If we are not going to endure the end times judgments, why were we given the book of Revelation? Seems silly to worry about something that isn’t going to affect us as believers.

Re: John 11:25-26. Inferring the rapture from “Whoever lives and believes in me will never die” seems like a big stretch. Does the “whosoever” in John 3:16 exclude everyone but the Church? No. Sometimes you add personal thinking not drawn from a strict reading of the text. Sorry if I’ve missed something. “Will never die” implies eternal life; not the rapture.

Thanks so much for your wonderful teaching; I have learned much from you over the years. During a Bible study, we were directed to Exodus 4:22-23, where Moses was told to tell Pharaoh “thus says the LORD, Israel is My son, My firstborn. So I said to you, Let My son go that he may serve Me…” Why does God call Israel “My son, My firstborn” in this passage? I know that Israel is God’s wife, but this threw me off.

I have heard many teachers claim that in Psalm 8:5 and Hebrews 2:7 the word “angels” is mistranslated and should be God resulting in the text reading: “… a little lower than God” with the idea being to bolster man’s dominion status. The notion that there’s an error always generates in my mind thought of well if this translation is wrong what else is wrong and that leads to the doubt of the Bible being infallible, the breathed, and inspired Word of God. Others I have heard say that you have to be a Hebrew/Greek scholar because God spoke to his man using these languages and translators have taken liberties. I would like your opinion. Thanks.

I grew up being taught the rapture. I don’t feel so sure about it now. Jesus tells the parable one will be in the field, the other gone and so on. He also tells the parable of the wheat and the tares. The tares were taken before the wheat. If the rapture is true, then the people suffering in other countries, why can’t they be raptured out? Why are we any better that we don’t have to suffer but they do? I believe ALL will be tried. What do you think of this?

There is something I have not been able to figure out. Who was the “Apostle Jesus Loved” in the Last Supper? I have long wanted to know who was given such a distinction and how it came about.
