What’s The Motivation Behind Amillennialism?
Published: September 6, 2024 (Originally published: September 8, 2011)I understand what Amillennialists think and I know how it is not biblical and has to spiritualize things. My question is why do they think this way? I mean the truth is the truth, but usually when people are not sticking to the truth they have some benefit in mind to them for their way of thinking. So what motivates the Amillennialist?
153 Large Fish
Published: September 9, 2024 (Originally published: September 11, 2011)I forgot what I was listening to the other day but the person said that there is a symbolic representation of the 153 fishes in John 21:11. I remember it had something to do with the 3 troops of 51 soldiers from the old testament. I was wondering if you can expand on this idea?
Great White Throne Judgment
Published: September 9, 2024 (Originally published: September 11, 2011)Recently I was watching a very popular television evangelist and his sermon was on the Judgments. He stated that at the White Throne judgment, he, and everybody in the congregation, all those watching on television and listening on the radio would have to account for every bad/wrong word spoken and all our bad deeds during our lifetime (Rev 20: 12). How does this stack up with the belief that we confess our sins, have a heartfelt belief that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and arose on the third day, then our sins are forgiven and cast into the deepest sea, never to be remembered?
Controlling Gog
Published: September 9, 2024 (Originally published: September 11, 2011)In Ezekiel 38:1-6 what does the phrase “turn you around” mean? Where is Gog being turned around from? This has always puzzled me, and I have never found anyone mention it in a study of Ezekiel 38. Most teachers jump over that phrase to “put hooks in your jaws.” I feel that The Holy Spirit guided the writing of our Bible and that phrase is no accident, but I am at a loss as to what it means. Can you help?
The Lord’s Unfinished Ministry
Published: September 10, 2024 (Originally published: September 12, 2011)Everywhere you look in the Bible there’s 7 of something–and many times that 7 is divided in half, becoming 2 parts at 3 1/2. Jesus led his ministry for 3 1/2 years. Where do you think the other 3 1/2 is?
Faith Alone
Published: September 10, 2024 (Originally published: September 13, 2011)In Luke 13:23-30 Jesus commands some followers who question Him about ‘Are there just a few who are being saved’ to “strive to enter through the narrow door”. Well, the word ‘strive’ sounds like ‘work’ to me and I thought we were saved by faith and not by works (Eph 2:8-9)? Could you explain this passage?
More On The Body, Soul And Spirit
Published: September 10, 2024 (Originally published: September 13, 2011)What constitutes the body, soul and spirit. Does the body include the subconscious? Is the soul your personality? Where does the Holy Spirit reside? Is your spirit your conscience? What goes to Heaven or Hell, your soul, your spirit or both?
Millennial Life On Earth
Published: September 11, 2024 (Originally published: September 13, 2011)I know that the raptured Saints will live in the New Jerusalem with glorified bodies during the millennium. My question concerns the tribulation Saints living on earth during the millennium in their natural bodies. Will persons entering the millennium with some sort of handicap enter with conditions such as missing limbs or mental disabilities? We read where there will be no more sadness, crying, or suffering during this 1,000 years. Will these people be changed or will live on earth during the millennium, after having gone through 7 years of Tribulation, make them more than happy? What is your opinion on this subject?
Slaves And Masters
Published: September 11, 2024 (Originally published: September 15, 2011)Colossians 3:25 gives me trouble. I know that just before it is written you will get your reward from him. But then it says whosoever does wrong will be paid for those wrongs. What about forgiveness?
Why Were Animal Sacrifices Only Temporary?
Published: September 12, 2024 (Originally published: September 15, 2011)Why did the sacrifice of animals in the Old Testament only temporarily cover sin for people (if it was an innocent substitute), while the blood of Jesus covers us entirely from sin? I’m not trying to or intending to compare Jesus’s blood with an animal’s blood, but why was the shedding of an Innocent Man’s blood worth so much more (in God’s eyes) than the shedding of innocent animals blood? Was it because only God Himself was able to pay for the sins of the world on the cross?
