The Holy Spirit As The Restrainer
Published: March 26, 2015 (Originally published: March 27, 2015)The Biblical translations that I’m aware of all capitalize pronouns referring to God in the New Testament no matter if the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit is in context, except for 2 Thes. 2:6-7. The restrainer, I do believe, is the Holy Spirit but why isn’t the pronoun “he” capitalized?
Are Soul Mates Biblical?
Published: June 4, 2015 (Originally published: March 28, 2015)I would like to ask you about your opinion on Soul Mates. Is it a purely Romantic notion, or is it a God Ordained one? I know we’re at the brink of the Rapture and the way the world is going you can tell that everything is coming to an end quickly. However I am still very young and wish to find someone I can cleave unto. Should I stop praying for love and focus on the Lord?
Pre Trib or Mid Trib?
Published: March 27, 2015 (Originally published: March 28, 2015)In ll Thes. 2:7-8 it’s telling us that the restrainer is not taken out of the way until just before the antichrist is revealed when he stands in the temple and claims himself to be God. This is the middle of the tribulation. Can you shed some light on this? Because I’m really looking forward to getting out of here!
A Question On Joel 2
Published: March 27, 2015 (Originally published: March 28, 2015)My question has to do with the book of Joel and chapter two in particular. The more that I study the bible the more I see a vast distinction between Israel and the Church. Chapter two of Joel clearly is about Israel and it appears to me that it is about Israel after the rapture. I have for my entire life been taught and believed that Joel 2:28 is primarily about the church with the Holy Spirit being poured out “on all people.” But verse 28 begins with “and afterward” with the context about the “Day of the Lord.” Verse 29 says “I will pour out my Spirit in those days.” To me these scriptures talks about God pouring out His Spirit on all people during the tribulation days.
Promises To Israel
Published: March 19, 2015 (Originally published: March 20, 2015)My question involves Jeremiah 31:35-36 In this passage God is speaking to Israel saying that He has given the sun, moon, and the sea as an ordinance…(etc) and that if these ordinances should depart from Him, Israel shall also depart from being a nation before Him. Here He is apparently affirming that Israel will remain His chosen nation. And yet that seems to conflict with the fact that during the millennial reign, the sun, moon, and sea will no longer exist, or be visibly functioning. Can you explain this?
Thrones
Published: March 20, 2015 (Originally published: March 20, 2015)I am in 2 Bible Studies at Church – one in Matthew and the another in Revelations. We ran across this verse in Matthew 19:28, and I do not know what the 12 thrones refer to. In Rev.4, I found 24 Thrones for the 24 Elders. Are the 12 Thrones in Matthew part of the 24 in Revelations 4 – or are they different ? We also discussed by 12, if there was only 11 Disciples left, after Judas. I appreciate your Biblical expertise on this question.
Looking For Jesus
Published: March 20, 2015 (Originally published: March 20, 2015)My question is in regard to Matthew 24:28: “For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles [vultures] will be gathered together.” Is the carcass Jerusalem during the Great Tribulation and the vultures all the nations that come against her?
Round Up Time?
Published: March 21, 2015 (Originally published: March 21, 2015)I have come across a growing concern by many, that martial law is on the horizon. Apparently, FEMA has drawn up an extensive list of resistors and dissidents. It is said the resistors are gun owners, and the dissidents are Christians. If that is possible, then what’s to become of us? I thought we weren’t appointed unto God’s wrath. Your thoughts, please?
Flesh And Bone. Also Blood?
Published: March 21, 2015 (Originally published: March 21, 2015)The risen Christ had flesh and bones. Did He also have blood, or not?
Re-Discovering God
Published: March 21, 2015 (Originally published: March 21, 2015)For about a year I have felt more distanced from God than I have in the past. I still pray, but I just feel a disconnect from God. I try and obey and honor Him, but it’s like I’m just drifting. How do I know if I’m doing his will? How do I know what path for my life he wants me to take? Thank you.
