What is “repentance toward God”? Why are believers going to judge the angels? My friends tell me to keep the Sabbath. Are they right? Where was Jesus for three days after He died? If God forgave all my sins, why would I be judged for them?

Why is it so hard for me to believe my "sins of omission" are forgiven? I feel guilty (like a hypocrite) when I read the Bible or pray, because of my choices lately. What can I do? How do 2 Corinthians 5 and Romans 14 fit together and show us what will happen at the final judgment? Is there a deeper message than "spending time with God"? What about renewing our minds? If a believer dies by suicide...

Why did Jesus have to become one of us? Discussion Questions: What do the names “Immanuel” and “Jesus” and “Christ” mean? Read Luke 2:10. Is the message of Jesus “good news of great joy” to you? Why or why not? Read John 14:9. Why did Jesus become like us? Read Philippians 2:8. Why did Jesus become like us? Read Hebrews 4:14-16. Why did Jesus become like us? Read John 1:11-13.

What is the Amplified Bible? What are your thoughts on translations? Could you pray for me and my grandsons? What’s the deal with circumcision in the Old Testament? And what about women? So, who created God?

Should we turn away children and unbelievers from participating in the Lord’s Supper? What is your best advice for worship leaders? My husband died recently; and a friend told me God takes us early when we make bad decisions. Is this true?

Judgment Day: Should believers be nervous? Discussion Questions for Revelation: Read verses 11-13. Who are the dead? Where do they come from? Why is this important? Read verses 12 and 15. React to this statement: If you’re in the Book of Life, then your deeds are not in the (other) books. Read verses 14-15. What happens to the dead who are judged? What is the clear-cut criterion? Read Revelation 2...

Is the whole world saved? Is the whole world forgiven? Does the whole world have the Holy Spirit? What does the Bible say about worry and anxiety?

What sends a person to Hell? is it necessary to be ordained to minister to others? Why did Jesus say we would worship Him in spirit and in truth? How can we talk about the message of God’s grace in the fewest words possible?

How would you help a believer who is involved in sexual immorality? Do we see God immediately when we die or do we have to wait? How is God always the same but then the Old Testament is filled with such violence? Does God bring disaster upon us? I feel so condemned because of my failed marriage and my past. What can I do?

Can women speak in church? Can they serve as leaders? What is replacement theology? What’s the truth about Jews and Gentiles in the church?

Is Jesus half-God and half-man? I’m a new believer, and I wonder what dependency on the Lord really looks like. What is the “secret place” in Psalm 91? Do the “bowls of wrath” in Revelation 16 relate to creatures, to humans, or to both?

How did Jesus live 33 years without sinning? Did the way of salvation get narrower or wider after Jesus? Who is invited? Is “slain in the spirit” a biblical concept? Do we need to call God and Jesus by their Hebrew names? Why are there so many Bible versions? Why does the King James Bible have extra verses in it?
