Revelation 20:10,14(KJV), “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever…And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation is a book … Continue reading “You say there is no hell and yet Revelation 20:10 mentions a lake of burning sulphur and those in the lake are tormented day and night forever.”

I have a friend that believes that God uses the devil to kill Christians when it's their time to come to heaven. I told her no, God doesn't need to use the devil. Please clarify this for me and give me scriptures to prove it to her. Thank you!
Yes and no. Satan does have power over death. It’s part of his dark empire. (Hebrews 2:14) God permitted the devil to be present in the Garden of Eden. Satan was the deceiver, who tempted Eve and indirectly Adam to sin. Their sin brought death upon us all. “…in Adam all die…” 1 Corinthians 15:22. … Continue reading “I have a friend that believes that God uses the devil to kill Christians when it's their time to come to heaven.

Why is it that some Bible verses are removed from the Bible? For example, Matthew 18:11, John 5:4 are not in the NIV.
The New Testament was written in the Greek language. In 1604 King James I ordered a more accurate translation of the existing English Bibles. The King James Bible or Authorized version was translated into English by a group of some 50 scholars. At that time, they had less than ten Greek manuscripts to work from, … Continue reading “Why is it that some Bible verses are removed from the Bible?

Why could God not forgive Adam and Eve after He chased them from the Garden of Eden?
God acts on the principles which define His very character: justice, love, power, and wisdom. The Psalmist says in Psalm 89:14 “Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face”. The foundation of God’s law is justice. Justice operates with mercy, but justice must also be met. … Continue reading “Why could God not forgive Adam and Eve after He chased them from the Garden of Eden?”
What was the importance of the fat of the animals in all the various offerings? Why was it burnt and not eaten? What is the importance of the kidneys and the lobe of the liver in the offerings?
In the book of Hebrews, the Apostle Paul interpreted the sacrifices of Leviticus. Hebrews 10:1(NASB), “For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw … Continue reading “What was the importance of the fat of the animals in all the various offerings?

Who gave the Wisdom to Stephen Hawkings / Einstein / Edison and other famous scientists to find something about this Universe? Did GOD use them to reveal knowledge to the world or because they seemed earnest?
All knowledge belongs to God. But God is not directing this present evil world. [See Galatians 1:4 (KJV), "Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father…"] So, how is mankind getting so much knowledge? Jesus is bringing knowledge … Continue reading “Who gave the Wisdom to Stephen Hawkings / Einstein / Edison and other famous scientists to find something about this Universe?

Did Jesus ever do anything wrong?
Never! As God’s only son, he was perfect and never made any mistakes. He was kind and humble. He didn’t brag about himself or his accomplishments. He didn’t bully anybody or make fun of anyone. He loved ALL people, and performed many miracles to help others. Jesus never sinned, even after Satan tempted him … Continue reading “Did Jesus ever do anything wrong?”
Where did Jesus go when he died?
Jesus didn’t go anywhere when he died. He was dead in the tomb. We read in Isaiah’s prophecy that Jesus “poured out His soul unto death,” that His soul was made “an offering for sin.” (Isaiah 53:12, 10.) Then again we read, “Thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol [meaning the grave (sometimes mistranslated … Continue reading “Where did Jesus go when he died?”
What does it means to meditate on God's word day and night? Please give scriptural examples..
Psalm 1:2, “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.” The definition of the word “meditate” from Strong’s Concordance is “הָגָה hâgâh…; a primitive root, to murmur (in pleasure or anger); by implication, to ponder.” So, then, what is God’s Law? Our Lord said, “‘You … Continue reading “What does it means to meditate on God's word day and night? Please give scriptural examples..”
