Read MoreI’m beginning to doubt the things I’ve been taught most of my life, and I’m afraid of losing my faith in God
Question: I have something I would like your opinion on. I was part of a church called the Shepherd’s Chapel from the time I was 13. Their ideas run parallel to some of the ideas of the Nazis and the Christian Identity Movement. My mind has been opened to the idea of entertaining these thoughts…
Read MoreEven if the Jews accepted Christ, wouldn’t the Romans have killed Jesus anyway?
Question: I found What If the Jews had Accepted Jesus interesting. Please help me understand why you argue that Jesus would not have died on the cross if he had not been rejected by the Jews.

Read MoreI’m so grateful to find your article on premillennialism
Question: I have accepted a challenge to spend two Sunday mornings (that’s not much!) in surveying the basics of premillennial eschatology. I am grateful to our faithful Jesus, the Lord of us both, that I finally, after so much searching, came across your church’s web site and your article on premillennialism. You’re so right that…

Read MoreDo you think there is anything to this New World Order idea?
Question: What’s all this talk about a one-world government called the New World Order that has supposedly been taking place and that has been in the works for years? I don’t know if you’ve heard of this. I was watching a video on the Internet the other day that talked about a North American union…
Read MoreIs there any evidence of the rapture being written or spoken of prior to 1909 and Scofield?
Question: Is there any evidence of the rapture being written or spoken of prior to 1909 and Scofield? Answer: It depends on which version of premillennialism you have in mind.
