Blotted Out Of Book Of Like
|
| |
Without Holiness, no man will see the LORD. Holiness means turning from sin and evil. Holiness involves loving GOD first and your neighbour as yourself. Holiness means loving Truth and disdaining evil and sin, no matter how pleasurable or attractive it is. Heaven is a Place for people who have learned to love GOD and man, and learned to live righteously before GOD. This involves time, and is a process. Santification is not instantaneous, it is a daily surrender to YAHUSHUA (JESUS). It is a daily decision to "crucify the flesh nature", and to follow the Spirit. I myself have not "arrived", but, this is my Goal. If a Christian deliberately chooses to hang on to a pet sin, it will be enough to land him or her in Hell at death. |

Is Heaven An Actual Place
|
| |
Yes, Heaven is a real Place. It is sometimes referred to as the "Third Heaven". It is where GOD's Throne sits. It is where the Saints of GOD, who have passed on, dwell. That is the "New Jerusalem", the City of GOD and His holy Saints. Gates of Pearl, Streets of pure Gold, Structures like Jasper. Nothing sinful, evil, nor unholy is present there, nor ever will be. Only Peace, Love, Joy, Happiness, Rest, Music, Beauty, Water, Food, Relationships and more. |

Should Women Teach In Church
|
| |
Yes, The LORD has lifted up women to taech in the Church. I'm suspecting that one thing the Bible meant when it states that women are not to speak in Church, is that, they are to keep quiet and not talk amongst themselves while the Worship Service is in progress. Men like to talk, also, but, usually it's the women who do more so. Just a thought. |

Are Fallen Angels Demons
|
| |
My understanding so far is that demons and fallen angels are different entities. Fallen angels are devils who were once good angels in Heaven. Demons, on the other hand, are spirits created by the sexual union of fallen angels and flesh-and-blood women. Some demons are also called "familiar spirits", re: the Occult realm, who familiarize themselves with (certain) people, and imitate them after the death of those (certain) people, to fool the living into thinking that their deceased loved ones have come back to life, for however long, as in during a Seance. |

I Am 19 And Love A 42 Year Old
|
| |
There is nothing Scripturally wrong with a young lady of 19 to have a love relationship with a man of 42 years. GOD's concern is that both parties are together as a result of HIS Will. Other than that, it's totally legit. But, do expect generational differences to be an issue from time to time. And be prepared for what some others may say or do. If you will commit to love each other, through the good and the bad of each other, and also, through the good and bad TIMES, then you can "weather the storm" of what the naysayers dish out. Personally, I think it's beautiful. I, myself, am a child of such a relationship, except the two never married. |

Marry My Hindu Boyfriend
|
| |
NO. That would be spiritually risky. Not worth risking your own soul. If the man "converts" TRULY to the Lord YAHUSHUA/JESUS sometime, and if it's the Will of GOD that you two, then, marry...then, by all means. Do not let Satan trip you up on this. He comes as an "angel of light", and he makes unwise things seem like a dream come true. Please, pray to GOD for His Guidance, and heed that "Still Small Voice" of His Blessed Spirit. It will save you future heartache, even though you don't see at this time, that that could happen. |

Is The Trinity A Person
|
| |
Rhonda, I John 5: 7 says: "For there are Three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word (YAHUSHUA/JESUS), and the Holy Ghost: and these Three are ONE." Some say that this Verse was not in the original Manuscripts. Regardless, if you read the entire Scriptures, you will know that these Three Persons work in perfect Unison, in concert with each other. The Father sends us His Spirit, in the name of the Son, and the Blessed Spirit comes and dwells in us to change us into the like of the Son. They all work together and, again, are ONE. |

Is The Trinity A Person
|

Perhaps the word "Persons" is more personable, when it's used in referring to GOD. The word "people" usually, if not always, is used when referring to human beings. GOD is a Unit of Three Persons. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. GOD is not just One Person, like an "Old Man Upstairs". The Title of "GOD" is like the word "family". The "family" is one unit which consists of 3 or more persons. Although there are 3 or more persons in a family, the family is still "one" unit. GOD (or "ELOHIM") is likewise. A complete Unit of Three Persons. |

What Is A Soul
|
| |
The soul is simply who you are. Your whole being, save for your flesh-and-body which your senses operate through while you have breath. It encompasses all that you feel emotionally. It includes all that you think. Your memory and your knowledge. It includes your five senses of sight, taste, touch, hearing and smelling. It is everything that you are. Your soul is dwelling inside of a temporary flesh-and-blood body until Death comes (or the Rapture for some). At Death, your soul will live on in another body that will be "designed", as it were, to fit the Place that you end up living in for Eternity. Be that Heaven, or Hell and the Lake of Fire. |

My Family Is In Hell
|
| |
In Heaven, as a Saint who will inhabit Heaven, you will know and understand perfect Justice. You will understand much, much better GOD's Grace, His Mercy, His Love, and then, also, His Perfect Hatred for Sin and Evil. You will understand that GOD was fair with everyone, regardless of how it seems now, on this side of Eternity. You will be saddened to know your unsaved loved ones are lost in Hell, but, GOD promises to wipe every tear of sadness away from the eyes of His Saints. So, your time spent in Heaven throughout Eternity will not be spent in sadness for your lost loved ones. Besides, your TRUE Family will be with you in Heaven. Heaven is a Place of Perfect Love, Peace, Joy and Happiness. |

Was Jesus Christ Sinless
|
| |
Lee, To state that GOD created the heavens and the Earth in 6 literal, 24-hour days is not "limiting" God to anything. If GOD can create all that in 144 hours, then who is to turn around and say He didn't really do what the Scriptures say that He did? As I said, GENESIS 1:3-5 states that the first 24-hour day was created when He created the Night and the Day-time. That was the FIRST DAY, and that first day set the pattern for the remaining 5 days of Creation in the Creation Week. GOD is all-Powerful...who in the world is to say that He couldn't have created all in 6 literal 24-hour days, when the Scriptures say that He did. Those who say He didn't are the ones "limiting" GOD. |

Wife Spends All My Money
|
| |
Skyelar, Are you a Christian? If so, then YOU are declared the leader of the household. Your wife is to be submitted to you, as you submit to the LORD. When you are obeying and submitting to the LORD, then, your wife will be doing the right thing before the LORD when she submits to you. You both will "automatically" be doing the LORD's Will in your lives. BROTHER, take control of that money for yourself. If she is spending all of 'your' money, without getting together with you about it, then, that is not right. Actually, if you're Christians, it is GOD's money! Then, in light of that, it is really BOTH you and your wife's money, for you and her are both now "one" in marriage. Lovingly and firmly set your foot down. |

Was Jesus Christ Sinless
|
| |
YAHUSHUA (JESUS) was indeed sinless. YAHUSHUA had to be sinless, to be the Spotless Lamb, in order to atone for the sins of mankind. If YAHUSHUA had sinned only ONCE, it would have immediately disqualified Him from being the Saviour of mankind. The thing is, is that it needs to be understood and believed that YAHUSHUA was truly the Son of GOD, one-third part of the GOD-Head. Being God, it would've been absolutely impossible for Him to sin. He is God and GOD's Nature is Pure, Holy and Sinless. He could not have thought, spoken nor acted against His own Nature. Even encased in Flesh which was tempted in all ways as we are. |

Six Days To Make The World
|
| |
It took GOD six literal days to create the heavens and the Earth. There really need be no confusion about this. Read GENESIS 1:3-5 "And GOD said "Let there be light.", and there was light. And GOD saw that the light was good, and GOD separated the light from the darkness. And GOD called the light "Day", and the darkness HE called "Night". And there was Evening and there was Morning, THE FIRST DAY." This "FIRST DAY" set the timing pattern for the following 5 Days of the Creation Week. If you understand, at least an inkling, of how POWERFUL Almighty GOD really is, it's not impossible to believe and KNOW that the Creation Week was a Week of 7 literal Days. |

Six Days To Make The World
|
| |
In 2 PETER 3:8 it says "But, my beloved, do not forget this one thing, that ONE DAY is with the LORD as a THOUSAND YEARS, and a thousand years as one day." But, this Verse must be taken in context. It was relaying how the passing of time is different from GOD's Perspective, compared to man's. A segment of time can seem to drag on for man, while for GOD, that same amount of time may seem to go by quickly. Plus GOD sees the Timeline from the beginning to the end. This Verse has nothing to do with the measurement of the length of time of the Creation Week. |

Is Obama A Traitor
|
| |
Larry, The Church and the World are under the beginning of GOD's Judgment. It does no good to pray for GOD to guide Obama, if Obama is not listening to GOD, nor cares at all to be guided by GOD. Pray, Brother, that Obama FIRST acknowledges his sin and evil, and that he repents of it all. Then, that he turns his heart to GOD to walk in His Ways. That's what it's going to take for Obama to lead this Country right before GOD and the citizens of America. Regardless, GOD's coming Judgment to America is already set. |

Is Obama A Traitor
|

Leon, What did I say that was not true? It was a "mass" of people (was it not?) that voted for Obama. Was it my choice of the word "mass" that you were offended by? What? It certainly was not ALL of the american citizens that voted for Obama. I didn't. Some others didn't. Bigoted? It has nothing to do with the colour of his skin. Great it is to have an African-American President. What did you mean, then, by bigoted? It's what Obama stands for, what his morals are. And, it's what his attitude toward GOD, the true Church, and Religious Christian Freedoms, is what is wrong with Obama. These issues are most important, if the country of America is to exist in True Freedom, Prosperity and Equality for all American citizens. |

Regarding Prayer for our Nation's Leader: YES, we american Saints SHOULD pray for our President. But, it will be a different type of Prayer in regards to Obama, because of what he stands for. We need to pray that Obama will recognize and acknowledge his sin, and his anti-christian, anti-GOD plans he's devised for America. Then, we pray that Obama humbly REPENTS before Almighty GOD of his own sin, and REPENTS of these evil, socialist plans he has for this country. THEN, he will be open to GOD's Guidance in his own life, and in the choices he makes daily as America's President. As long as Obama is dead-set on doing his own thing, he ain't gonna listen to GOD's Voice trying to guide him. And, GOD will not bless evil works! |

Augie, GOD Himself did not put Obama in the Presidential Office. GOD allowed it! Obama was the farthest thing from being GOD's Choice for a President. GOD raised up CHUCK BALDWIN to be President. Chuck Baldwin is a Christian Pastor and he knows Who founded this once great Country. And he knows how this country was to be ran. He knows that this country was to be based on the Constitution of the United States of America. He knows that this country was to have complete Freedom to worship the One and True GOD YAHUVEH, without any interference by the States NOR THE GOVERNMENT. GOD sure the world would not have chosen a Baby-killer as a President. Obama was chosen by a mass of people who live in the United States. |
