Galatians 5:19-21 (lusts of the flesh) talks about people who won't enter to the kingdom of God. Are people going to be judged by the things they do on earth? Are people going to be free to drink beer in the 1,000 years of Judgment Day?

The Apostle Paul was concerned. The Christians in Galatia were struggling with worldly influences coming in among them from several sources. First, there were Christians who came from a Jewish background and believed that all Christians were bound to follow the Jewish Law. Then [...]

Millions of gay people are happily married, millions of fornicators are in happily nuclear families, but God knows I am so lonely and miserable but still I am not getting a husband or family despite me being faithful to Him. My loneliness and misery has never been soothed all my life. Why would a loving God allow this torment in my life?

We appreciate this question very much and are sorry you feel so much longing and sadness. The desires of the heart can be a long and painful trial for so many of us. The heart wants what the heart wants, but a big part [...]

What did Moses use to make the serpent on the pole (Numbers 21:4-5)?

Through God’s guidance and power, Moses led the descendants of Israel out of Egypt, where they had lived for several generations. The people expected Moses to lead them to the land God had promised to their ancestor, Abraham (Genesis 17:8, Exodus 3:7-8). Through God’s [...]

Which is the correct baptism – Matthew 28:18-20 or Acts 2:38?

There is only one baptism for a disciple of Christ. That baptism is to be "baptized in Christ," into his death.How does this work? By what authority do we do this? It is done by the authority that Jesus gave when he ascended up [...]

If God says, "Seek you first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you," and also says all the flowers, animals and birds are provided for, why does he actually allow a true believer to live in lack and doesn't provide for us at all? We seek His kingdom sincerely but still struggle in lack.

When a general statement is made, it is important to understand the context and the Divine intention behind the statement.The verses in Matthew 6:25-33 illustrate that God has the ABILITY to supply every need in the animal and plant creation. But He chooses to use [...]

What did Solomon ask for himself in presence of God?

Do you think God chooses who we are to take a wife or husband? They say there is someone for everyone. If one is living in flesh, is it still God putting those two together? Is every marriage from God?

We would question, who is the “they” who says there is someone for everyone? The concept of a “soul mate” has Pagan origins, traced to Plato’s “Symposium” in which one of the characters Aristophanes tells a “comic, fantastical story about how humans were at [...]

Will EVERYONE be saved and not just those chosen by God? If so, could you explain on what basis God judges?

When Adam and Eve disobeyed God (Genesis 3), the punishment of death was applied not only to them, but to all their descendants, meaning every subsequent generation of mankind. Likewise, Jesus’ sacrifice of his perfect human life as a corresponding “payment” for that disobedience applies [...]

What is salvation and its importance?

Matthew 12:20: A battered reed he will not break off; and a smoldering wick he will not put out, until he leads justice to victory.This verse is quoted from a prophecy in Isaiah 42:1-3, and according to Matthew 12, clearly illustrates the approach and attitude [...]

How do we get in Christ? How do we remain in Christ? Can we get out of Christ by not believing anymore or sinning and by not confessing our sins to God?

How do we get "in" Christ?The call to become body members of Christ is described in Romans 12:1,2: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable [...]

In Luke 16:11 Christ saying wealth is unrighteousness. Then why did God bless David, Solomon, Abraham, and many others with unrighteousness wealth?

This verse referred to is part of a series of parables Jesus gave beginning in Luke chapter 15. There in verse 2 the scribes and Pharisees murmured because Jesus received sinners and ate with them. Because of their superior attitude, Jesus went on to give the [...]

How did God come into existence before he created the heavens and earth? How did he give himself the name, God? Where did he get his authority?

It may be hard to understand, but nobody made God.Psalms 90:2 says, “Before the mountains were born, or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.” “Everlasting” means that God was always there. He has existed forever. He had [...]

Psalm 2:7, Thou art my son, today I have begotten thee" is applied to Jesus' baptism at Jordan. However, in Acts 13:33, the same psalm is quoted and applied to the day of Jesus' resurrection. How do we harmonize this?

Jesus was begotten of the spirit at his baptism. However, the context of Psalm 2 is in keeping with the Apostle Paul's application that the statement, "this day have I begotten thee" describes Jesus' resurrection. Psalm 2 opens with the heathen raging and the kings of the earth [...]

Why doesn’t God heal the sick?
