• The Gist on Giving and “Tithing”

  All believers will stand before the Lord and give an account of their lives for what they do or don’t do at the Judgment Seat of Christ. This includes what we do with our income. More is expected of those with greater knowledge, talents and spiritual maturity. As Christ said, “To whom much is given, […]

• Is CHRIST’S BODY After Resurrection PHYSICAL or SPIRITUAL (or Both)?

  Jehovah’s (false) Witnesses make the claim that Christ’s body after his resurrection is spiritual in nature, not physical. In other words, they argue that the risen Lord is a spirit creature only, which they base on a myopic reading of 1 Peter 3:18 and Paul’s statement “I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh […]

• Why Are Both Lucifer and Christ Called the “MORNING STAR”?

  Before his fall from Heaven (Luke 10:18), Satan is referred to in the Bible as “Lucifer, son of the morning” (Isaiah 14:12 KJV), a ruling spiritual being (paralleled in this context with the king of Babylon, Sennacherib). The word translated as “Lucifer” (in the King James Version) is helel (hay-LAYL); other English translations say “morning […]

• How Big Will the NEW JERUSALEM Be on the New Earth?

  – We’ve all heard about the gates of Heaven referred to as “the pearly gates,” yet in the Bible this is actually a description of the twelve gates of the New Jerusalem, a very large city that is presently in the spiritual realm of God, aka Heaven (Revelation 21:21). Guess what ultimately happens to this […]

• Will People Marry and Have Sex in Eternity?

  Christ said “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matthew 22:30). He didn’t say they would be angels, just that they wouldn’t marry or be given in marriage (not to mention they’d be immortal like angels, if you compare the verse with the fuller account in […]

• Does the Bible Acknowledge GERMS?

  Yes, the Bible does acknowledge germs, albeit not directly. God gave the Hebrews laws on diet, sanitation and quarantining, as observed in Leviticus 11-13, which was well over 3000 years before germs were discovered in recent centuries.

• Why Do Unclean Spirits Seek Out DRY PLACES?

  Christ said impure spirits naturally seek “arid places,” which means dry, waterless areas (Matthew 12:43). This isn’t referring to places that are physically dry, like deserts, but rather spaces that are spiritually dry; that is, places where God is absent. You see, the LORD is likened to Living Water in the Bible — God is The Fountain of Life who gushes forth life […]

• How Can Ghostly Sightings or Activity Be Explained?

  Although I’ve encountered people who were demonically possessed/oppressed, I’ve personally never seen an apparition or experienced ghostly activity. But some individuals insist that they have seen paranormal goings-on and it’s highly doubtful that all of them are lying. How can such things be explained from a Scripture-focused Christian perspective? Let’s start with the question: Are […]

• Did Moses & Elijah really appear to Christ on the Mount?

    The “transfiguration” refers to the occasion where Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain whereupon the Lord was gloriously transfigured before them. Moses and Elijah then appeared and talked to Christ. Let’s read the passage: Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them […]

• Was Samuel Raised from the Dead to Speak to Saul?

    Samuel was the last of the judges and the first of the major prophets (1 Samuel 3:19-21). After Samuel died, ungodly King Saul was desperate for counsel and so went to a medium to get word from the dead prophet, which was a wicked act strictly forbidden by the LORD (Deuteronomy 18:10-13). The question […]
