What is your view regarding the THE BOOK OF JASHER? How accurate is it? Any thoughts would do!!

I am a Christian mom in my mid fifties and my daughter is 19. She asked me to watch a video called “Zeitgeist” (spirit of the times) and it compared the Zodiac signs and symbols with the Christian religion. (The narrator) showed how other civilizations had myths that were similar in their story line to the story of Jesus. He implied that we copied the story of Jesus and his death and resurrection from the pagan myths that came before Him. Your website has encouraged me over the past 5 months. You have helped me see things in a realistic view and now the End Times scriptures have come alive for me. Please help.

May the Lord bless you in many ways for your web site and knowledge of the Scripture. I have learned so much from your site! We use it for our studies to help us interpret some of the scriptures.

My question is about the churches. What exactly does the church or churches in the Bible really mean? Is it a building, country, or as I hope I am reading right, our prayers and fellowship with Christ? My neighbor who is also a Christian of many years asked me the same question yesterday. We all study the scriptures at home.

It is clear that the battle of Ezekiel 38-39 and the battle of Armageddon are two separate battles. I also believe that the battle of Ezk 38-39 could occur either shortly before the rapture, or shortly after the rapture. But there are very vocal people who claim these two battles to be the same event. Do you think this could be setting the world up to accept the Antichrist?

I want to be obedient, and not to quarrel among other believers. But so many other believers are falling short, in my opinion, in that they are of the Emergent Church, LDS, JW, or Mary worshipping. My question is, how am I to deal with these people, when they claim that Jesus is their savior? And, is it the “right” Jesus even? How can I walk or fellowship with them?

God bless you Jack, I enjoy your site. I thank God when I do find other believers basing all that they learn on His Word.

Some say spiritual gifts were only for the apostolic era. Others say they continue in our time. Does the Bible say when the expression of spiritual gifts will cease?

I came across a webpage last week which states if you suffer from certain ailments, you can pray to God using the psalms and the illnesses would heal. For example if you suffer from bad luck, you should pray the fourth psalm. If you have poor sight in your left eye, recital of the sixth psalm should cure it. I have even come across books which teach similar things, but they also say you should use candles anointed with oil. Isn’t this wrong? Shouldn’t you just pray to Jesus and have faith that He will heal whatever ailments you suffer from? Using candles and the psalms isn’t necessary, is it?

In your commentary on Psalm 121 you discussed the benefit of confession. With the many ways human religion has clouded this issue, would you clarify the Biblical view of confession? Exactly what is required to restore my fellowship with the Lord? What about the sins of thought that we might forget about? Do we have to remember each sin in order to ask forgiveness? Or is asking to be forgiven from all sins sufficient? Thank you for your help in this matter!

I was raised a Protestant, have Messianic Jewish friends and have attended their services and they are on Saturday. How can the Christian Church and the Jewish (Messianic) people have such a difference?

We should be on the same page. Please explain if you can. Thank you and God Bless.

Can you help me with understanding this verse or the larger context? A friend of mine claims that some bible versions endorsed cannibalism.

Lev 26:29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
