Mark 10:17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” 18So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. I guess that’s …
Following from Why did God destroy the world with Noah’s flood? and Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? I was asked about God demanding the Israelites to wipe out the Canaanites. Following from God’s divine destruction of Noah’s flood and Sodom and Gomorrah, God demanded that Israel wipe out the Canaanites to take their …
19th September 2068 is my best calculation. Now that I’ve shocked you by committing the unpardonable sin of date-setting ;-), I’ll explain. I’m 99% certain this is wrong, but there’s a lot to be learned from how I’ve calculated this; to provide balance with teaching that the rapture is imminent. It is critical that we …
Question: “Just want to hear your thoughts about Israel and UAE recent peace agreement and flights starting to fly between the two nations. Any reference to the end time?” Thanks for a great question. Anything and everything happening in and around Israel seems to have something to do with end times. The question is how …
Jewish law talks a lot about clean and unclean foods, things, and actions. I find this fascinating to try to study, particularly understanding why God declares things to be clean or unclean. Sometimes this is sanitary such as regulations concerning a woman’s period or a man’s ejaculation, or skin diseases such as leprosy. Other cases …
The Church was born when 120 disciples were waiting and praying in unity in a secret upper room. Then they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they overflowed with courage and power to tell the whole world about God. Language was no barrier. About 3,000 believers were added to their number on that day. …
My Nepali friends asked me this question after reading: Matthew 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven in this world or the next. From the perspective of a culture which is 81% Hindu and 9% Buddhist, I can …
From my bible study with Chinese people, the question came up about the connection Christianity had with the West being technologically prosperous and richly multicultural. It’s understood that God’s plan is to unify the world, but the world tends to fight each other, using religion. I really love sharing Christianity with people from non-Christian countries, …
Hey, I love that question. It’s really controversial – just the sort of thing I’m often blog about. In Pentecostal circles, we sometimes hear some fervent prayer binding Satan and rebuking him in the name of Jesus. This question suggests this might not be quite kosher theologically. However, God responds to our heart and our …
A few years ago, I wrote an article against the theory that FEMA camps are the US government’s plan to confine the non-compliant. During the Covid-19 crisis, this idea has evolved. Americans seem particularly preoccupied with the threat of authoritarianism. The reaction is to over-compensate to anarchy, with rioting and demands to disband the police. …
