More On Translation Differences

Published: May 31, 2023 (Originally published: May 30, 2012)
Q

In my KJV, I was reading Isaiah 61 verses 1-2 and then read Luke 4:18-19 where Jesus is in the synagogue reading those same two verses in Isaiah. Of course the two passages say the same thing but I would expect the wording to be exactly the same. Since it’s not, what would account for the differences?

Does God Hear A Silent Prayer?

Published: June 1, 2023 (Originally published: May 11, 2012)
Q

I heard a preacher on television say that God does not hear a prayer unless it is verbally stated. He said that God does not hear a silent prayer and also that we should be kneeling when we pray. Do you agree with that? I cannot kneel anymore and a lot of time I pray silently and have always thought He heard me and answered. Also if He does not hear silent prayers, how do the people who cannot talk and use sign language get their prayers through to Him?

The Jews And The Trinity

Published: June 1, 2023 (Originally published: May 14, 2012)
Q

My understanding is that the Jews do not believe in the Trinity, and yet isn’t the Trinity is apparent throughout the Torah? Was this a stumbling block for them regarding Yeshua who at various times claimed he was God? Do they expect their Messiah to be just a man? Any speculation as to why they don’t see the Trinity in their Torah?

How Can Deceitful Hearts Believe?

Published: June 1, 2023 (Originally published: May 17, 2012)
Q

I have a question. Jeremiah 17:9 says the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? In Acts 8:37 Philip said “If thou belivest with all thine heart, thou mayest (be baptized). And he (the eunuch) answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” These two passages almost seem to be contradicting each other. How can we believe with all our heart if our heart is incurably deceitful?

Why Was The Lord Frustrated?

Published: June 2, 2023 (Originally published: May 9, 2012)
Q

I would like to ask about Matthew 17:17 when Jesus healed the demon possessed boy. Jesus seems very frustrated with His disciples lack of faith, but I’m quite taken aback by what He said. How much longer must I be with you? Why must I put up with you? Doesn’t this seem an odd thing for Jesus to say? He knew how long He would have to be there and why He must put up with them, did He not?

Sanctifying Ourselves?

Published: June 2, 2023 (Originally published: May 15, 2012)
Q

We have been exploring Hebrew Roots and are all in agreement that following the Law does not save us but there are those who believe following the Law is part of the sanctification process. What are your thoughts on this?

Repent And Repeat?

Published: June 2, 2023 (Originally published: May 16, 2012)
Q

I was speaking to a friend of mine about repentance. He said when you’ve truly repented you can’t do again what you’ve repented from. He said if you do it again anytime your life it means you didn’t repent in the first place. This confused me because there are things that I repented from them honestly but I find myself doing them again although I do not like to do them. Have I not truly repented?

In What Year Did Jesus Die?

Published: June 5, 2023 (Originally published: June 16, 2006)
Q

Your site is a tremendous blessing to me! Thank you for spending time to answer our questions.

Do we know what date (mainly what year) Jesus was crucified? I’ve seen in-depth teachings about matching up two Sabbaths in a row (the seventh day in Passover and the seventh day of the week because supposedly Sabbath is plural in Matthew 28:1) giving us 29 AD. I’ve heard that Daniel’s 70 weeks gives us 32 AD. I’ve also heard that Luke 3:1 gives us 33 AD. Who is correct?

Another Tithing Question

Published: June 5, 2023 (Originally published: June 17, 2009)
Q

I have read various articles regarding the Tithe and have found that the New Testament does not include tithing like it is in the Old Testament and especially the way it is explained in Malachi. Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of the law and tithing is in the law. Jesus taught to give as you purpose in your heart not grudgingly or of necessity.

This means that all that we have belongs to God and we are stewards of these things. The way we handle these things will determine our love towards God. The new covenant in Christ is “what is yours is mine and what is mine is yours”. Is it correct then to say that 10% should not be preached but rather that all is Gods and not only the 10%. By doing this, if God wants us to give all we have, then we need to do so because of the covenant we have with him.

More On Believers In Hell

Published: June 5, 2023 (Originally published: May 28, 2012)
Q

Please can you explain why, according to those who have had visions of Hell and Heaven or near death experience, they saw men and women of GOD in Hell because of one sin or the other. On the other hand, some of them told of people were refused entrance to Heaven because of the sin of unforgiveness not minding the fact that they are believers.
