Questions and Responses

Question: Have you ever heard the phrase "the many-breasted god"?

Question: In Jeremiah 31:9, Ephraim is called God's "firstborn," but in Joshua 17:1, Manasseh is the firstborn. Romans 8:29 calls Jesus the firstborn. How many "firstborns" of God are there?

Question: You said that Jesus had no blood in His resurrected body. But He has flesh and bones. The Bible says that the life of the flesh is in the blood, so how can He have flesh without blood?

Question: Did God take away Pharaoh's free will when He "hardened Pharaoh's heart" (Exodus 10:1-2)? What verses point to free will in the Bible?

Question: [Many verses lead] me to believe that the rapture (day of the Lord) takes place after the abomination and at the opening of the sixth seal. Am I wrong?

Question: I have read your articles on replacement theology and Israel. You stated that Gentiles observing the festivals and other Torah laws were frauds. Could you please explain?

Question: You believe that the “Woman” riding the beast in Revelation 17 is the Catholic Church. But what about all the other religions and sects in this world? Surely they are not going to all convert to Catholicism?

Question: Can you please explain the difference between a sect and a cult?

Question: Could you explain what "suffer in the flesh" (1 Peter 4:1) means and whether it is part of God's chastisement?

Question: A friend belongs to the United Pentecostal Church and believes in "Jesus only," rejecting the Trinity. Isn't that blasphemy [of the Holy Spirit]? Could United Pentecostals be Christians? How could they even believe in the true God?
