Published: January 12, 2016 (Originally published: January 16, 2016)
Q

Knowing the Word of God cannot contradict itself, how do you interpret Matthew 16:28? Were there any present who would not “taste death” or is there another teaching here?

Do Not Judge

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 13, 2016)
Q

I was speaking with a friend who said that Christians cannot lose their salvation, but a true Christian won’t continue to sin. I know that Christians should try to live a good life, and be guided by the Holy Spirit to live for God, and I want with all my heart to make the right choices but it seems more times then not, I end up failing.

More On God’s Last Call

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 14, 2016)
Q

In your mp3 study on Thessalonians you made the statement that in the far east GOD is issuing a last call. Can you expand on that? I’ve never heard that said before. Why would the far east have this sense of urgency when most of the west does not?

Putting All Our Eggs In One Basket

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 13, 2016)
Q

I was wondering if there is anything in the Bible about diversifying one’s investments (Like not putting all your eggs in one basket). Seems to me I read something like that but can’t find anything. Can you help?

Was Jesus Trained As A Pharisee?

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 12, 2016)
Q

I appreciate your website very much. I have found many answers reading your articles. I remember reading somewhere else that Jesus was trained as a Pharisee as a young man, that he knew many of them personally and was very familiar with their teachings, beliefs and traditions. Can you give me some guidance on this subject?

Weary Of Waiting

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 13, 2016)
Q

I’m a believer and I love the Lord, but lately I’ve been feeling very, very discouraged. I’m so anxiously awaiting Christ’s return for His bride and I know in my heart He’ll be here soon, but I’m growing more and more weary by the weight of this world, the weight of my flesh. Am I the only one feeling these things? It seems as if Satan is gearing up for His “big play” as the end draws near, and even the faithful are feeling faint of heart. I know I must gather my strength from prayer and God’s Word, but is there anyone else feeling these things? What encouragement do you have regarding what we should be doing as we so eagerly await the coming of our King?

Won’t Work? Don’t Eat.

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 11, 2016)
Q

In reading 2 Thessalonians 3 we see Paul exhorting his readers to work for a living and that if someone refuses to work then they shouldn’t eat. I recognize that Paul probably wasn’t advocating starving someone into submission, so the question for me becomes, where is that line? What is Paul advocating here?

How Should I Treat Her?

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 11, 2016)
Q

I recently got divorced and after going to counseling at our church to resolve our issues (which did not work) the counselor who is a pastor there said that based on Mathew 18:15 my now ex-wife would be excommunicated from the church because she knowingly committed a sin by divorcing me and not following the advice given in the bible. It’s true, she had no biblical grounds for divorce, but how does Mathew 18:15-17 apply?

Must God Choose Us, Or Can We Choose Him?

Published: January 9, 2016 (Originally published: January 10, 2016)
Q

In the Bible Study group I lead there’s an older gentleman who frequently makes a statement that I don’t agree with. I want to kindly correct him on this but don’t know how to go about it. He says he believes in Grace and OSAS. However, he says that no matter how much we pray to God, until God decides to reveal Himself to us, we cannot know Him. He goes on further to say that God has to choose us and that we cannot choose Him. It has upset some in the group as they are facing daily struggles and they are starting to believe that their struggles are because God hasn’t “chosen” them. Please help me address this situation. If I’m wrong and he is right, that’s fine, but I can’t find Biblical support for his position.
