What was the status of the Old Testament as far as being compiled at the time of Christ? Were the 39 books already chosen? Was everyone aware of the prophecies Christ was fulfilling as He was doing them? For instance, Psalm 22, could someone have been watching the crucifixion and had access to that piece of scripture as it was happening?

I know your position of the New Jerusalem orbiting the earth because of it’s size, but there must be some connection to the earth because of Rev. 21:24. “The kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.” How does a mortal human enter a glorified city?

If the church is the bride, what does Rev 21:9 mean? “Come I will show you the bride the wife of the Lamb, and He carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven.” This seems to be the only place where the word says right out who the bride of the Lamb is. Is there another place that’s more specific?

I’m bothered by an article I read on the Internet about being “saved.” The writer quotes multiple scriptures, and states quite dogmatically that “one must believe in the resurrection…confess the resurrection…to be saved. He lists a series of common steps seekers are guided to take by various churches and evangelists such as, “Invite Jesus into your heart….” or “Accept Jesus as your personal savior …” or “Say the sinner’s prayer” as being inadequate. Do you agree?

From my understanding, anybody who receives the Mark of the Beast is eternally damned. What if they are forced to get a chip or tattoo without any say or will? Also, I’ve always wondered what would happen if somebody is to receive the Mark of the Beast, but then repent later. Are they born again or is it too late for them and they’re damned?

Is Jesus ruling as King of Kings and Lord of Lords now, or is He acting in His High Preistly function to the Church and will take His role of King at the end of Time?

I’ve been a believer all my 60 years but have never understood the issue of the judgment of believers. Reading 2 Cor. 5:10 tells us there will be a judgment for deeds done, good or bad. If, when we are saved, our sins are forgiven and forgotten, how can we then be accountable for any sin/evil we commit in our Christian walk? My desire for heaven is lessened by fear that I will be punished for sin I thought would be forgiven and removed as far as the east is from the west. Does that end with salvation? Am I forgiven, but then “punished” by loss of reward?

I have always believed that Jesus was using the fig tree to symbolize Israel being reborn in Matt.24:32-34. But then Jesus said, “and when you see these things come to pass, know that my coming is near, even at the doors.” Things is plural and not singular. So Jesus could be describing many things (as in “birth pangs”) & not just the rebirth of Israel. But when do the birth pangs begin? Also, if you look at Luke’s version of the fig tree parable, he says “fig tree and all the trees.” This is very confusing because no one can accurately say when the birth pangs started and therefore cannot determine, within any reasonable space of time, when “this generation” begins or ends. Can you clarify this?

I have a question about the ‘ No fear of judgment ‘ question. If we realize that one of our deeds was not done through the strength of God, and we confess it and ask for forgiveness, will it be changed over to a “good” deed in place of a “bad” one?

My husband left me after 19 years of marriage and insisted on divorcing me. He says he was not unfaithful to me during our marriage, however, he has since developed a same-sex relationship. I know he had several relationships with men prior to the divorce that I have since been told were homosexual. I have not wanted a relationship with another man since that time, however, I do wonder if I ever found someone, would I be free to marry in God’s sight?
