Did Jesus really die for our sins?

Question:

Now, I know that most Christians believe that Christ died for our sins, but I had a person who says that he is a Christian explain it to me different. He feels that many Christians have been misled for different reasons, one being they have strayed from the Authorized King James Version of the bible. Anyway, he claims that when the bible speaks of Jesus ‘dying for our sins’, it does not mean that he ‘died for our sins’. Ok let me explain. He claims that the word ‘for’ has about 14 different meanings. And in this case, the word for means because. So this is his reasoning. He feels that there is no way that Christ died to take away our sins, otherwise the world would be different.Continue reading

What about those who never hear the gospel?

Question:

Are all those who do not believe or have not been given the chance to believe cast to hell? Are those who have lived with out knowing of the Bible or it’s teachings condemned? What of those who were around before “Christianity” was a religion? And are those currently who are raised in a non Christian home or country also hell bound? If so why does God condemn these good people? Is that not in it self an act of evil?Continue reading

Will God forgive “premeditated” sins?

Question:

If a person does not lose his salvation, then obviously when he sins, he gets chastened. But what about a scenario when a person premeditates a sin… and right after, asks for forgiveness. Would the Lord still forgive that sin? And what about a time when people sin, knowing that they can ask for forgiveness later? What about that too? Thank you so much.Continue reading

Are people predestined to heaven or hell?

Question:

Predestination vs. Freewill. I believe God is all powerful and all mighty and can do anything… no boundaries. But I also believe that he gives us the choice to choose which path we take. I also believe that when we call upon him, he helps us make the right decision. Many believe that our life is laid out before us like a road map, from beginning to end. If this theory is correct, and some are designed for hell and others destined for heaven, why pray…or worship.. or learn. Because if life is “laid out” nothing matters. Am I way off base??Continue reading

Can a person be blotted out of the Book of Life?

Question:

I read one of the answers to one of the questions, and you said no one is ever mentioned as being “blot out of the book of life”, if so, could you explain Revelation:22:19: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. I know it doesn’t say “blot out” but it says “take away his part out.”Continue reading

Do both the saved and the lost attain immortality one day?

Question:

Actually I have 2 questions, why would Paul list and detail immortality as an exclusive reward for the righteous if both the wicked and righteous will receive immortality? Also, if the souls of the wicked go to hell in their torment and these souls can feel hear see and communicate, what is the purpose of God resurrecting the bodies of the wicked?Continue reading
