The Apostle Paul wrote, “If ye are Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise,” Galatians Those who are begotten with the Holy Spirit are heirs of the Abrahamic promise: “…in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed,” Genesis 12:3. This teaches that there is the Abrahamic seed … Continue reading “I'm 62. I was saved in my twenties. Made a lot of mistakes and lived in and out of my Christian faith for many years. Now I'm anxious about completing my destiny that God had laid out for me. I've never been closer to Jesus than I am right now. God is the author and finisher of my faith. Will he finish what he started in me in this life or in heaven?”

Would we know if a person is or is not in heaven?
Short answer: Yes! Discussion: When Jesus took Adam’s death penalty upon Himself, every single person was guaranteed a resurrection. Romans 5:18 (NIV), “just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.” Again, John 5:28, “…the hour is coming in which all … Continue reading “Would we know if a person is or is not in heaven?”
The thing today called "tongues" is not a language of some people here on Earth as it was at Pentecost. Are today's tongues biblical?
In the Greek, the word translated as tongues is γλῶσσα, glōssa, meaning the literal tongue or a language. When the gift of tongues (speaking in foreign languages) was first given at Pentecost, we know these languages were definitely understood by foreigners. Act 2:7-8, 11 (NIV), “Utterly amazed, they asked: ‘Aren’t all these who are speaking … Continue reading “The thing today called "tongues" is not a language of some people here on Earth as it was at Pentecost.

Please explain Mathew 10:23, “When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”
These instructions were given primarily to the twelve Apostles. Doubtless, they understood them to mean that their mission was not to stay long in a place. As persecution arose, and the people were unwilling to hear their message, they were to go to other cities and villages. The time for their special testimony of the Kingdom … Continue reading “Please explain Mathew 10:23, “When they persecute you in this city, flee to another.

I know the first fruits are holy. Why then if I was being faithful with my tithe, did I backslide and lose my job?
Many preachers tell their congregations that if they tithe (give 10%), they will be blessed by God. These preachers say Malachi 3:10 applies to Christians. “‘Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,’ Says the LORD of hosts, ‘If I will not … Continue reading “I know the first fruits are holy. Why then if I was being faithful with my tithe, did I backslide and lose my job?”
Why should we forgive others?
For two reasons: because the Bible tells us to, and it’s good for our well-being. Forgiving others releases us from having bad feelings that can affect our attitude, as well as the health of our bodies and minds. Carrying bitterness and anger around only hurts us; not the other person. Forgiveness is a very important … Continue reading “Why should we forgive others?”
I learned the real name of Jesus is Yahusha. Why does the Bible print his name Jesus? Only the Jewish Bible will tell of Yahusha. Please give me the proper answer.
Some believe a person must use the name of God’s only begotten Son in the Hebrew language. If people don’t use Yahusha, neither God nor his Son will recognize their prayers. They may even doubt their salvation. However, all of the New Testament books (except for the Gospel of Matthew) were originally written in Greek. … Continue reading “I learned the real name of Jesus is Yahusha.

Why should we obey our parents?
God is very pleased when you obey the people who take care of you, whether it’s a mom, dad, grandparent, or someone else who looks after you. Exodus (20:12) tells us to honor our father and mother, so we know it pleases God when we listen to and respect our parents. When they ask … Continue reading “Why should we obey our parents?”
Which Bible has the true interpretation of the verse 1 John 5:7? I believe the trinity is a false teaching.
Please note: the middle parts of verses 7-8 (not here quoted but in the KJV) are spurious. Those words were added by scribes. Today, scholars agree that those omitted words are not part of the Bible. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) accurately translates this scripture passage. In 1 John 5, the Apostle John is trying to express … Continue reading “Which Bible has the true interpretation of the verse 1 John 5:7? I believe the trinity is a false teaching.”
