I watched a show where the preacher claimed the Bible says that belief is not going to get you saved and that belief is a work. How do we know we are saved? How do we know for sure we are doing God’s will and not being selfish? I am scared that I have missed out all these years. If believing is not part of “faith” then what is Faith?

I’ve always believed that our new heavenly body will be physical and still believe that but there is a verse in I Cor. that needs explaining to me. The verse is I Cor. 15:44 which says: “It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body…. ” This sounds like we will have a spiritual body, not a physical one. Please explain!

Peter didn’t like Jesus’ idea that He should come to Jerusalem to die. The Lord quickly identified who is really speaking there and said :”Get behind me, Satan”. Why did Satan want to stop the Lord from dying there, if he tried to kill Jesus from time when he was a baby?

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)

You say that Jesus never taught about the rapture, but in this passage doesn’t the phrase “whoever lives and believes in me will never die” refer to those who will be taken on the Rapture?

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.
