Question: If you are in the military and fighting for this country, why do some people always throw the scripture "thou shalt not kill" at them?

If you take the word "kill" back to the Greek in your Strong's Concordance #5407, #5406, #5408, you will find that the word "kill" is "Phoneus" which means criminal homicide (to be a murderer), and if you murder someone on purpose you are to be put to death. (Deuteronomy 19:11-13). However, this does not apply to self defense, putting someone to death who deserves it, or defense in the act of war. God will always back and protect those who fight to save this Christian country. A country that was founded and built on Christianity. Even written on our money; "In God we trust." Read Psalms 144, "The war Psalm." God gives them strength and skill in battle! He stands before them as a shield! So, don't let anyone ever tell you that one in the military is a murderer. Our military defends this country so that you have freedom to live as you wish. So I say; "God Bless our armed forces and the brave soldiers who fight for us."

Question: What is the Massarah?

The Massarah is the original foot notes to the manuscripts that fixes the scriptures and locks them in not to be changed.

Question: Can you tell me the scripture were it says we all have an angel of God watching after us?

Matthew 18:10 tells us that the face of an angel is with you.

Question: Will you tell me the scripture that Christ destroyed death?

I believe you are talking about Hebrews 2:14, that says by Christ dying on the cross and resurrecting, He destroyed the one who had the power of death, which is the devil.

Question: Are the seven deadly sins in the bible? And if so, where can I find them?

The seven deadly sins I think you are talking about are: Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed and Sloth. They are not in the bible, but were brought about through the Papacy. However, there are seven things that are an abomination to the Lord. You will find them in the book of Proverbs. (Proverbs 6:16-19)

Question: Where can I find scripture that says many will turn from the truth in the end times?

You will find it in II Timothy 4:2-4 where it says that a time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but rather follow their own lusts and listen to teachers who teach them only what they want to hear. What ever makes them feel good to keep them in the church. It's going on today among churches. Do you know that their are many priests and pastors that know the truth but are afraid to teach it because it is against their denominations doctrine. If they teach the real truth, they may lose their job in the ministry.

Question: I heard the phrase once saved always saved. Is this true?

This is a true statement. However, you can drift away from God and go down the wrong road to salvation. If this happens, you need to repent and get back into the Word.

Question: In Matthew 19:23, and 19:24 is Christ speaking of monetary wealth?

Yes you are correct. Lets see what the scriptures say. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 19:23) It is almost impossible for a rich man to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. Usually, a man or woman that is rich with God's blessings will have no problem, but the money cannot become the top priority in his or her life. You must be willing to give it all up for Christ. Wealth also cannot come from ill gotten gains, or you will lose it. (ill gotten gains or not, this is a tough one for the wealthy). However, for the deeper meaning Christ wanted us to know that we need to unload all our sin and evil earthly ways before we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (Matthew 19:24) During this time there were two gates to the walled cities. The large main gate for during the day, and the small entrance gate called (the needle gate) for the evening when the main gate was closed. A camel would not fit through the needle gate unless it was first unloaded of it's goods. It is the same for one who must unload all his or her ill gotten gains, greed, and sin to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Some will, but many will not! Again it is all about the money and earthly ways to them.

Question: Can you explain what is meant by dividing families in Luke 12:53?

Christ was explaining what it would be like at His return. Many think He returns to bring peace to the earth, but just the opposite is true. He returns with a vengeance and will bring division to the earth. (Luke 12:51) Christ goes on to say that He (the Word), will divide the family. A father will think one way about Christ, a son another. The mother and daughter will disagree, and a mother-in-law will be spurned by her daughter-in-law. (Luke 12:52-53) How and why does this happen? Look at families today, they can hardly agree on anything. But, when it comes to religion, there are very few families anymore that believe alike. One believes in the rapture, one believes in speaking in unknown tongues, one believes in worshipping saints and repetitious prayer, one believes in keeping old food laws. You get the picture; all denominational beliefs and traditions of men. They follow what ever makes them comfortable, rather than search for the truth in God's Word on their own. You can't buy your way to heaven, and you don't get there by keeping old traditions. Don't be divided and deceived. Study Gods Word to show your self approved.

Question: Is there such thing as mythology?

No... Mythology is not true, but there were heroes in the bible. (Sampson for example).

Question: You said in one of your teachings that you may be delivered up to death by a family member. My question is, why would a friend or family member deliver you to death if they love you?

I believe you are speaking of Mark 13:9-13 where it speaks of being delivered up to anti-Christ (death) in the end times. A loved one may deliver you up because they are deceived and do not know any better. When anti-Christ appears first before the real Christ (which he does), they fall for him believing he is the real Christ. Then your friend or family member will say to the anti-Christ; my brother or sister believes, but just got it a little wrong. They are a good person, so won't you give them a chance if I bring them to you, or tell you where they are and maybe you can change them. You see, they are the ones deceived; and they think they are going to help you by delivering you up to the anti-Christ, thinking he is the real Christ. Don't worry, it is your destiny to be delivered up if you know the truth in the Word. (Mark 13:9) But you are in good hands; the "Holy Spirit" will speak through you against the anti-Christ. (Mark 13:11)

Question: What day was Christ actually buried and when did he rise from the dead?

Christ was buried on a Wednesday at sundown. From Wednesday sundown to Thursday sundown was the first day. From Thursday sundown to Friday sundown was the second day. From Friday sundown to Saturday sundown was the third day. Christ arose on Saturday (the Sabbath day) sometime during the night.

Question: What happens to a person who commits suicide?

If they believed in the Lord, it would be between them and the Lord. God loves all of His children. Some just can't handle it here on earth for different reasons. Let God handle it.

Question: When did the Apostles meet to take communion?

The Apostles met on Passover (Many celebrate the pagan holiday of Easter instead of Passover), Pentecost (Among Christians commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles), and The Feast of Tabernacles (Believers gather to worship and make fellowship in the house of God), to take communion.

Question: Is there such thing as reincarnation?

No! We are born only once in this flesh body, and to die once in this body. (Hebrews 9:27)
