I’ve read many postings on your site and appreciate them greatly. But I’m surprised at your interpretation of the Mustard Seed Parable. There are different “birds” mentioned in the various passages of the Bible; the little birds is akin to sparrows–you will find that God uses the sparrows to indicate His care for us both in the NT and in Psalms. David writes of them finding “rest” in the courts of the temple–as he refers to the godly finding rest in the Lords Temple. I’m surprised that this common interpretation is quickly accepted, without folks discriminating between the various types of birds: little birds and predators.

I’m wondering if Jewish people were saved with Jesus through their Holocaust by the Nazis in 1930’s to 1945?” I know that God had a plan for Jews who were holocaust by Nazi before Israel was reborn on may 15, 1948! I hope so because the Jews are the children of God and the Bible shows that is fulfilled with the re-birth of Israel on May 15, 1948!

I just read your article “I Will Bless Those Who Bless You.” I have always been fascinated by the swift punishment from the Lord after harsh dealings with Israel. Given the shoddy treatment of Netanyahu this week, should we expect another physical blow to our country? Or was the passage of the health care bill enough? That law will do more economic damage to our country than all of the previous natural disasters combined. Do you see US-Israel relations healing at all in the near future or are we at that point where we have cast them aside and Israel truly is alone in this world?

My 20 year old niece who was saved and baptized in a Baptist church started dating a Mormon boy 2 months ago. Last week she announced she was becoming Mormon and was baptized Mormon. Does that mean she loses her salvation? Is that considered rejection of the Holy Spirit?

My husband had been abusing drugs in our home with our children present. The situation was becoming violent, so I took the children and left before anyone got hurt. After much begging and pleading with him to get help, I decided to divorce and try to move on for my kids’ sake.

He is in recovery now, and his relationships with the Lord and his family are very strong. He takes personal responsibility for everything that has happened. We have discussed remarrying someday. We are very much in love and do not feel in our hearts like we are divorced. Personally, I feel like we are only divorced on paper. Are we fornicating if we have sex? We want to get remarried, but I want to wait until he has held down a job and a stable residence for at least a year after he finishes recovery.

What are the implications of the Vilna Gaon prophecy that the third time the Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem is rebuilt (it was destroyed twice before, the last time by the jordanian forces in 1948) the Third Temple construction will follow? This synagogue was officially inaugurated on March 15, 2010 and the rabbis are planning to offer a lamb sacrifice during Passover on March 29.

My question centers on 1 Cor. 7:11 where Paul says that a divorced person should not remarry. When leading a singles bible study, this verse was brought up as some of them were single again. The Pharisee in me holds to the plain sense of the verse. Yet I know that while God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), he permits it only in the case of fornication.

Is it reasonable to interpret that verse in the context of the Corinthian church and say that if a person gets a divorce for other than biblical reasons, then they should not remarry unless/until the ex-spouse has fully broken their marriage covenant by committing adultery with another? And, if a person gets a divorce on biblical grounds are they free to remarry? Ultimately, I’m wondering under what conditions the command to not remarry applies.

My Question: Is there any good in the emerging church or should involvement in a church which is leaning that way be avoided? My Pastor did some research into Emerging Church and thinks we could take some things from the conversation and grow as a church, ignoring all the more questionable practices. Having watched the growth of this movement for years I am very concerned about some of the ideas coming out of it. Could it be that the Lord has placed me in leadership (deacon) in my church so I can act as watchman and stand interceding before God for my Pastor & our congregation.

Is the Roman Catholic Church, the one and original church established by Jesus himself? the one being referred in Matthew 16:18, “I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her.”

Since the current age is rapidly closing my wife and I are somewhat Home sick (like most of the Church) for the coming millennium. My question is, knowing, that when one dies during this time a person that dies would be considered an infant, where do people (believers) spirit go during that first 1000 years? Would it be like it is now, when would they acquire their glorified bodies?
