What did Jesus mean when he said a man "must be born again" in John 3:5? (South Africa)

John 3:3, “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  The word “born” is Strong’s Greek word G1080, “genná?,” and should here be translated “begotten.”  “I say to you, unless one is begotten again, he cannot see (perceive … Continue reading “What did Jesus mean when he said a man "must be born again" in John 3:5?

Can Christians be bewitched and where should we go for deliverance? (Kenya)

By “bewitched” we are talking about demon-possession or demons (the fallen angels) bothering a person. Yes, sadly Christians can certainly be troubled and possessed by demons. If a person becomes disobedient to God and strays into the occult, spiritism, shamanistic worship, hypnotism, drugs, idol worship, traditional religion (Voodoo) etc., that poor person is in serious … Continue reading “Can Christians be bewitched and where should we go for deliverance?

What were the seven last words of Christ?

The question refers to the seven last statements that Jesus made while on the cross. Some statements were prophesied in the Old Testament. 1. “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do,” Luke 23:34.

Has Jesus always been with us since His resurrection? If not, what should we expect when our Lord returns? (India) 

There is much confusion about the manner and purpose of His return. Many false predictions have been published. Some take the Lord’s words, “lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world,” to mean that Christ never left and ascended to the Father. They believe that Jesus has been personally present during the entire gospel age. Such reasoning would contradict, “for I go to prepare a place for you.? And … Continue reading “Has Jesus always been with us since His resurrection? If not, what should we expect when our Lord returns? (India) “

Please explain 1 Peter 4:6 (NKJV), "For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit." (Togo)

To understand verse 4:6, we need to recognize that all men are under the Adamic penalty of death. In other words, since Adam was under the death penalty, the entire human race is also under the death penalty. In a sense, we are all dead. (Matthew 8:22) But those of the “dead” who hear the gospel and … Continue reading “Please explain 1 Peter 4:6 (NKJV), "For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit."

Why did God choose Israel for His people? For what purpose did God choose them? (India)

God chose Israel because of their faithful ancestor, Abraham. Hebrews 11:8,11 recount the two most prominent examples of Abraham’s faith in God. God told Abraham in Genesis 12:2 that He would make a ‘great nation’ from his descendants. “And I will make you into a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your … Continue reading “Why did God choose Israel for His people?

What did Jesus mean in Mark 10:18, “'Why do you call me good?’ Jesus answered. ‘No one is good—except God alone.'”? (South Africa)

Mark 10:18-19 (NIV), “‘Why do you call me good?’ Jesus answered. ‘No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’”  The question in Mark 10:18 is partially … Continue reading “What did Jesus mean in Mark 10:18, “'Why do you call me good?’ Jesus answered. ‘No one is good—except God alone.'”?
