Questions and Responses

Question: Why does Revelation 17:8 (and maybe Revelation 13:8, depending on the translation used) refer to those “whose names were not written in the book of life from the creation of the world...”?

Question: In the millennium, a child will die being 100 years old and will go...where? After the millennium, the New Jerusalem descends to earth. This is not for all believers but only the church. Can you sort this out?

Question: To "repent" means to "change one's mind." Where do you or anyone get the idea that it means to "turn away" from sin?

Question: Do you know the difference between salvation and redemption?

Question: Who is Jesus talking to in Matthew 7:22, 23? Nominal Christians? People who “think” they’re Christians? Born-again Christians who messed up?

Question: Given the ecumenical thinking of many evangelicals today and the acceptance of Roman Catholics as Christians, how would you answer people who say you don't need to evangelize Catholics because they are as saved as we are?

Question: The Bible says, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Phil 2:13). Then why do I so often fail to do His will and to please Him? I more often please myself by doing my own will. Why?

Question: [composite of several]: You object to the idea that there was any death, even of animals, prior to Adam's sin. Death passed upon all men. Animals aren't mentioned and certainly don't sin. What would preclude animals from dying prior to the fall?

Question: In the archival Q&As that you selected for the April newsletter, I can't believe the lack of Scripture references in your response to those who believe there is a Gospel for the Jews and a "Gospel of Grace," as preached by Paul.

Question: Is assurance based on behavior or on the objective promises of God’s Word? Please clarify where you stand on “Lordship salvation,” which ties salvation and assurance to faith and repentance as conditions for eternal life.
