More On Anointing With Oil

Published: June 29, 2021
Q

When you use anointing oil, can you anoint yourself and pray, and still be as effective as if someone else does it for you. I can understand where the “when two or more agree” might be in this issue, but can anointing be made personal, just between you and God?


Is Tithing For Christians?

Published: June 29, 2021
Q

As I was searching through a popular website I came across an article that addresses tithing. The author said that tithing pertained to the Jewish nation, not the New Covenant Church. He states a rather long list of supporting scripture, but I wanted your view on this.


A Time When You Think Not

Published: June 28, 2021
Q

Considering all the Signs that Jesus gave us regarding His return, what is your take on His comment when He said that He would come at such a time as you think not. I’ve have been challenged by this statement when I have been teaching on the Signs of the Times. Is the Lord addressing His remarks to believers or was it meant for a wider audience i.e. non-believers? I would be grateful for your opinion.

Tarot Card Reading

Published: June 28, 2021
Q

A very good friend of mine has asked if I would wish to come along and have my tarot cards read with her. Now I have always felt a little uneasy with things like this as I do not want to “entertain the devil” as such or invite bad things to happen.

My friend and I have only recently re-kindled our friendship after we had a disagreement and didn’t speak for a number of years. It was my children’s christening that brought us back together. I expressed my feelings of unease to her, and she understood but gushed at how much she enjoyed having hers read a year ago and also told me that the reading had implied that we would become friends again. What do you think I should do?

Evening And Morning

Published: June 25, 2021
Q

In Genesis 1 my Bible says, “And the evening and the morning were the first day,” and so forth for all the days of creation. Is there a reason that evening comes first? I thought maybe it’s because the day actually starts at 12 midnight. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated.


The Basis For Our Belief

Published: June 25, 2021
Q

God revealed himself to people in OT times by super natural things (fire, cloud, burning bushes, etc). In NT times until present it seems that God does not reveal himself supernaturally anymore. I have heard it said that God revealed himself in three parts as the holy trinity. The first was God the father as the super natural, the second was God the Son Jesus as a literal human, and finally God the Spirit as in the day of Pentecost until now. Maybe its where I live or the times (or maybe something else) but it seems harder and harder to see or hear God. Could you share your ideas about this?

Can you help me answer this question for the Jehovah Witnesses? I know Jesus is the Son of God, and I also know and believe with all my heart that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament. Jehovah God.
