Firstly thank you for your insight and answers to all the different questions people ask and need answers for. I would like to know firstly the difference between a Bishop and a Deacon or Elder.

Bothered By My Sins

Published: October 20, 2020 (Originally published: July 22, 2015)
Q

If a person cannot live carefree in sin and yet still sins, can this internal battle be looked to as a “proof” of sorts that he or she has the Holy Spirit within and is saved?

Doubting My Faith

Published: October 20, 2020 (Originally published: February 8, 2015)
Q

I am struggling with some things for days now, and my father told me to write to you about them. This is one of my problems, and I’m not sure if its just attacks from Satan or what because I’m constantly unsure if I’m a child of God, and I feel very afraid. What is the difference between doubt and unbelief? I am scared that I don’t have the faith to be saved, and I get a terrible fear in my heart. Can you please give me advice?

Could Jesus Have Sinned?

Published: October 21, 2020 (Originally published: October 18, 2012)
Q

I know Christ was sinless and never sinned ever, even when tempted but my question is: Could He have sinned if He choose to? I think he could not. I have asked many preachers and elders and have never really gotten a clear answer. Please let me know what you think.

Baptism Before Marriage?

Published: October 21, 2020 (Originally published: October 18, 2012)
Q

I have a question about something our church and my family are going through right now. My niece, who is almost 30, is getting married to a man she has known for about 4 years. He was brought up Catholic, but says he believes the gospel way of salvation. My niece thinks he is saved. Her father isn’t sure. One of the reasons they (our pastor, her dad, and the deacons) give is that he is not baptized. Is baptism a qualification for marriage in other churches? I have gone to our church for almost 50 years and have never heard of it being an issue before.

Thinking Big About Our Millennial Home

Published: November 24, 2009 (Originally published: November 23, 2009)
Q

My question is about our mansions in Heaven. In the Bible, when Jesus says “In my Father’s house are many mansions”, it’s my understanding that it can also be translated, “many dwelling places”. When you think about God, you think REALLY, REALLY, BIG! The Father’s house includes all of His creation, the universe, the millions of planets and galaxies and everything. I believe we will be able to travel to all the planets, and dwell there, and discover new and wonderful things. Since time will never end, we’ll be able to visit all the planets and galaxies over and over again. I think this is the purpose for the planets. Now, it seems like they’re just out there, taking up space. But, then, they’ll be our dwelling places. Could you give me your thoughts on this? Thank-you so much!

Sex In The Millennium

Published: December 1, 2009 (Originally published: November 30, 2009)
Q

While listening to Part 15 of the Book of Mark study, I thought I heard you say that “the Old Testament saints will be resurrected at Christ’s 2nd coming and repopulate the Millennium”. Maybe I heard wrong, but I thought once we get a perfected body that we won’t be having sex and procreating anymore? Did I just hear you wrong or is this only for Old Testament saints? If it is true, will the church get to enjoy sex in the Millennium with say our departed spouses and help to repopulate the earth?
