It’s obvious that Satan is the ruler of this world & I don’t doubt his power and influence, but I’m wondering how he is able to tempt so many people around the world every day? He certainly isn’t omnipresent in the same way that God is, so how does he do it?

My question involves my 12-yr-old daughter. She is at a point where she selectively listens to her mother and me and I am at my wit’s end over how to communicate to her the truth of the Bible. I want to make her aware of the fact that the prophecies relating to the end times are real and are being fulfilled in her lifetime. I want to get through to her that the Lord is coming soon and that all believers will be going to heaven, ALIVE, but I don’t know how to get her to take it seriously. She has stopped saying her prayers and has little, if any, relationship with our Lord.

And it is not just my daughter–I have family members (including my wife and grown children) who grew up in a denomination that indoctrinates so deeply that any approach to prophetic truths or the issue of salvation, is shunned. Please advise me on how to reach them with the truth.

Can you help me with Scripture that says the Holy Spirit comes into a person’s life/heart the moment they genuinely profess faith in Christ? Why did the 12 men of Acts 19:1-7, who Paul called brethren, not even know about the Holy Spirit?

I read your writings with great eagerness. This question come as a result of a discussion I’ve had in a forum. Has the 70th week occurred?

I’ve been taught for many years NO it has not. But this new mathematical equation from a pyramidologist is claimed to prove that it has. That history shows the 70 weeks started in 485 BC and Christ crucified ended it. They threw out a myriad of verses from Daniel 9:25-27, Luke, and Romans to prove the theory.

Jack, in Romans 12:20 why the analogy Coals of fire on his head?

I understand the idiom, “kill em with kindness” and the like but coals of hot fire? I’ve asked a number great scholars and have not got a great answer really interested in what you have to say.

Ever since we made a public declaration that we are getting married, challenges don’t stop coming our way. We are both saved and we know that every external challenge that brings about a conflict in our spiritual commitment is an act of the devil because he is after our destiny and what God is ready to do through us. But when we misunderstand each other, the conflict becomes unbearable and it feels as if the whole world is against us. This has been continuing for some time. What can we do?

I can find no place in Revelation where John states that the “Church” is in heaven where he is during the tribulation. The ones in Heaven are God, Jesus, the Elders, the angels and those Christians under the seat of God that have been killed for their belief in God and Jesus. The only others that show up in Heaven are the slain that come out of the great tribulation. So where is the “Church”?

Does God want his servants to be poor or wealthy when he says if you want to be his disciple deny yourself take and take a cross and follow me and also by saying we must store up riches in heaven not on earth where they will perish.

How do you comfort someone and reassure her that God loves her after she was raped and beaten? She is 21 years old and was overpowered by an intruder in her home. She barely survived the ordeal. I know to tell her that it is Satan and not God that brings these things across our path but that would mean that she probably had unconfessed sins which broke the fellowship and allowed the devil to get a hold on her. But how do you tell someone that it is her own fault that something so horrific happened to her.

Sorry, but I know once saved always is not true. Judas was a follower of God. Is he in heaven or hell?
