I am a daily reader of your site and I feel blessed every time I visit. My son accepted Jesus as his Savior after a very rough life of drugs, alcohol and an absent father. I have prayed for him for years that God would rescue him.

God sent some very close family members to talk to my son knowing that these people were the only ones he would listen to. After spending a weekend with them he gave his life over to Jesus and I had never seen him so happy in my life.

He and his wife had a miscarriage with their second child and I slowly watched the joy and the light go out in his eyes. He is returning to his old ways of drinking and drugs and I cannot reach him. He says he cannot pray and I believe Satan is getting a stronger hold on him as each day passes.

Are there any passages you could suggest to me that I could persuade him to read that would bring him back before he is gone completely? I have been praying for him so much and have tried to talk to him but with not much success. It is breaking my heart to see him becoming empty inside again.

Thank you for your fantastic knowledge that helps so many.

In Revelation 6:9, John saw souls under the alter that were slain for the word of God and the testimony which they held. They were given white robes and told to rest until the remainder of their fellow martyrs were killed. In 7:14-15, more white robed people who have come out of the Tribulation are seen by John. They will serve Him in His temple, and live with Christ. Then, in Revelation 19:8, the Bride of Christ are arrayed in fine linen entering the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

My question, in Revelation 20:4, I understand it to mean that only the martyrs of Christ will reign with Him one-thousand years. Will all saints reign and rule with Him, or only the martyred saints from the Tribulation period?

What do you think Jesus means in Matthew 6:14-15, when He says that if you will not forgive your brother then neither will your sins be forgiven?

Are we to assume that no animal was killed before the fall of the mankind or the concept of death by sin could only be applicable to humans?

I always believed that the first death was the death of the animals that God killed in the Garden of Eden in place of Adam and Eve and used the skin to cover their bodies. The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them (Genesis 3:21). Is that correct?

What about bugs? I find this hard to believe that Adam or Eve didn’t accidentally step on one during their time in Paradise.

Thank you for the advice on your site it has been a blessing to me and have helped me through a lot of difficult patches in my life.

I read Galatians 5:19 – 24 that states that if you do any of these things you will not see the Kingdom of God. That is frightening as I struggle to not to do these things. Even if it is only in the mind as Jesus has stated.

If we are saved by Grace thru Faith, why would the Holy Spirit through Paul make the statement In Galatians? It seems to contradict as I know of no honest person that does not struggle in one of these areas. I for one loose my temper from time to time. Help please. Please help.

Today I was reading in Mark 15 and 16 and came across an interesting situation. In 15:46 it mentions the rigamaroll that Josepth of Arimathea went thru in preparation for the burial of Jesus, finishing off with the statement “…and rolled a large stone in front of the sepulchre”.

Okay. Then in 16:3 it mentions when the two Marys are on the way to the tomb and it is mentioned “who will move the stone for it was very great”

Question. How big was that stone?

Do you think the rapture happens as the dragon is cast out of heaven? I wouldn’t want to be around when he is cast down and confined and angry. It’s interesting that Jesus comes with the archangel but it doesn’t say with a great host of angels. Perhaps the angels are kicking butt and clearing the rebel angles out and getting things ready for us. When Jesus said He saw Satan fall like a lightening bolt, how does that fit in to the war in heaven when He is confined to earth?

I have a question about something that was thrown into the middle of the conversation between Jesus and the centurion in Matthew chapter 8. In 8:11 and 12, Jesus goes from marveling at the faith of the centurion to telling His followers about people eating with Abraham Isaac and Jacob (the Jewish people) in the Kingdom of Heaven but those that already live there (the children of the Kingdom) will be tossed out. Is this referring to the angelic realm? I’m really confused.

The Bible says, “In my Fathers house are many mansions.” Who lives or will live in those mansions?

I was wondering your thoughts on God testing us. I’ve only heard this taught one time, Deuteronomy 8:2 says that God tests us in order to know what is in our heart, whether or not we will keep his commands. If taken literally, or at least the way I take it, the LORD brings things across my path to see how I will respond… Will I chose to act in faith on his word, or be in fear. Will I choose to obey or not and so on and so forth. Is this correct? If so it would give a different outlook on “problems” we encounter on a day to day basis.
