In Matthew 17:20, Jesus said to his disciples "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Could one have faith to remove a literal mountain?

The Bible defines faith in Hebrews 11:1 as "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Faith is very important to a Christian. It links us to God and Jesus, brings us peace during difficult circumstances and shows the Father [...]

Will the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:2) be a literal city of gold and gems, and will it come floating down through the sky and locate somewhere on the earth? If so, how, when, and where?

Revelation 3:12: ...and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God…Revelation 21:1,2: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were [...]

How can I get faith when I do not have it naturally?

Faith may be cultivated as any other mental quality and is increased in proportion to knowledge and reliance upon that knowledge. To have faith in God, we must learn His character, plans, and purposes. Our faith grows as we study His word and rely on the promises and truths of [...]

What is meant by the New Jerusalem referred to in Revelation 21 and 22?

Revelation 3:12: ...and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God…Revelation 21:1,2: And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were [...]

What kind of fire must that be which is to burn up the earth at the end of the world, when it is written of that very time, "There shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before?" Isaiah 47:14

The Scriptures in many places refer to the time of destruction in the end of the present order of things under various symbols or illustrations such as "fire," "earthquake," "whirlwind," etc. The literal earth or planet on which we dwell is not referred to [...]

Will Jerusalem ever be rebuilt and for what purpose?

The most remarkable movement ever occurring amongst the Jewish people since the time of the destruction of their capital city, Jerusalem, is now in process of development, and is known as "The Zionist Movement." The primary object of this movement is the establishment of [...]

We hear of so many great fires these days, I wonder if the Bible shows that the earth will be destroyed by actual fire?

An improper conception of the Scriptures has led to many ludicrous conclusions concerning the destruction of the earth by fire. A man in western Pennsylvania became so thoroughly imbued with the thought that the world will be burned up by the Lord in the [...]

Is there any positive proof that our Lord Jesus was born on Christmas Day, December 25th, and if so, where can it be found?

There is nothing to prove that Christ was born December 25th, but there is circumstantial evidence he was born around early October. It is generally recognized that Jesus was crucified on Friday, April 3, AD 33. The fact that his crucifixion occurred at the close [...]

If Noah was a just and respectable old gentleman of some 600 years of age, how is it that we find him getting intoxicated – becoming drunk – as recorded in Genesis 9:20?

Genesis 9:20-27 describes an unfortunate incident with Noah and his sons. Noah planted a vineyard and became drunk with the wine of its grapes. Noah's intoxication was after the Flood was wholly unintentional. The Flood caused great changes in the atmospheric conditions of our [...]

I find in Matthew and Luke what purport to be the genealogies of Christ. Matthew gives his ancestry back to Abraham; Luke goes back to Adam. Between Christ and David, Matthew gives 27 generations, and Luke gives 42; and none of the names in these two lists are the same. Will you please explain this seeming genealogy discrepancy?

Our Lord Jesus became related to the human family by taking our nature through his mother Mary. Mary's genealogy, as traced by Luke, leads back to David through his son Nathan (Luke 3:23). Joseph is here styled "the son of Heli," that is, the son [...]

How large was the Ark of Noah, and how did it compare with modern vessels as to size and capacity?

The Bible (`Gen. 6:15`) gives the dimensions as follows: Three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits broad and thirty cubits high. The length of the cubit is variously estimated. The modern cubit is 18 inches, linear measure; the sacred cubit of the Jews is 21.88 [...]

Will you explain and Romans 2:7-10?

Romans 2:6-11: 6 who will render to each person according to his deeds: 7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the [...]

Are we to accept a literal flood, or do Genesis chapters 6, 7 and 8 give an account of a spiritual flood?

Scientific thought is coming more and more into harmony with the Scripture teachings as to the occurrence of an actual flood at about the time indicated in the Genesis account. From the latest investigations and research, the conclusion has been formed that this earth [...]

What is meant by the term “Doomsday?”

It is that last dreadful day in the which (according to the antiquated theories of an obsolete theological formation) the Lord will return to the earth, and take His seat upon a great white throne, and then all nations will be gathered before Him, [...]

Are angels mortal?

The definition of “mortal” is a state or condition of being liable to death, not a condition where death is unavoidable, but a condition where death is a possibility. The definition of “immortal” is a state or condition not liable to death, not merely [...]

What is meant by the "Judgment Day" and when will it be? Is it to be a 24 hour day?

The term "Judgment" includes a hearing or trial and the final conclusion or result of that trial. Not all are judged at once. To illustrate, the Church is now on trial or judgment. The Christian trial or judgment has been in progress since Pentecost. The faithful in this judgment shall [...]

I heard a man the other day say that there are some things that God cannot do. Is that so or not?

In the very nature of things there are some things that it would be impossible for God, the great Creator, to do. Some say that it would be impossible for God to create two hills without a valley; however, we believe this could easily [...]

Can you explain the first three verses of the sixth chapter of Hosea?

These verses, doubtless, refer to Israel's judgments and their final repentance and reconciliation. The three days we understand to be the days of the larger week, one thousand years to each day. In this larger week the seventh day will be the seventh thousand-year [...]

If God is a God of love, as the Bible tells us, how can we understand His command to the children of Israel to utterly destroy their enemies, men, women and children?

The Land of Canaan belonged to the Israelites as it had been given to Abraham and promised to his seed as an everlasting possession. The Philistines, Amorites and others who inhabited the land at the time when Moses under Divine direction led the Israelites out [...]

Will the Apostle Peter be the doorkeeper in heaven, since Jesus said to him: "I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 16:19)?

In Matthew 16:19, Jesus tells Peter, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,” symbolizing the authority to open access to the gospel message. This moment follows Peter’s confession that Jesus is “the Christ, the son of the living God” (Matthew [...]
