  • Why do you suggest that the Jews are God’s people?  It’s obvious to all Christians that the Jews were responsible for the death of our Savior Jesus Christ.  It was they who plotted to kill Him.  No Christian would deny that the Jews, or anyone else for that matter, can receive salvation, but salvation is only available through belief in the name of Jesus Christ.  And why do you complicate things with reference to old prophecies when the path to heaven for a Christian is assured through Jesus Christ?

  • You say that anyone who put his hand to the plough and then looks back is unfit for the Kingdom of God.  What about all those who never understood anything about the Kingdom of God?  Are they condemned??

  • Who are Ephraim and Manasseh in Bible Prophecy?

The question emerged as follows: My question is about the identity of Ephraim and Manasseh. Genesis 48:17-20 (KJV) says: ....According to this, Manasseh is the firstborn, yet his younger brother Ephraim will be greater than he and become a "multitude of nations." (NIV: "group of nations" if you prefer) Also, Ephraim was "before Manasseh." (NIV: "ahead of") The US as a nation obviously came after Britain, and her people came from Britain. In addition, while it is no longer as great, Britain at one point controlled a quarter of the world, and planted many colonies that became entire nations. The US cannot boast that.

  •   Do the dead in Christ arise at the time of the Seventh Trumpet spoken of in the Book of Revelation?

There's been a lot of confusion over this!  Yet the understanding of it is perfectly simple.  Naturally enough, it has a lot to do with the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, and the many events that precede it.  Here we take a comprehensive look at these and give the details.

  •   Is ‘political correctness’ and ‘multiculturalism’ supported by God’s Word?

Has the Western Word benefited from these crazy ideals?  What purpose have they served for the betterment of society?  The Bible gives some very clear answers on all this!

  • What is the Worldwide Church of God and who is Herbert Armstrong?

You are always mentioning these two, but what is the significance?  You seem to believe that this Church is the true Church, yet you are sometimes critical of them.  Why?

  • Why do you teach that the book of Galatians is a spurious book?

This answer deals with the many inconsistencies of this book in comparison with other Scriptures.  It also includes a map of the origins of Galatia, and who lived and ruled in the region.  This book is the favourite source for proving that the Laws of God have been done away by those who advocate lawlessness.  These verses are examined for authenticity against the rest of the Bible.

  • What’s the difference between prophecy and propaganda?            

    This question is an abbreviation of a much longer, multi-faceted question.  The paraphrased question was something like this:  'How do we know that the prophecy you teach is prophecy and not just propaganda to support your own style of teaching?  You take a Scripture and link it to a whole lot of other Scriptures and then claim it’s speaking in support of the first.  How do you know it is?  Also, you seem to be generating propaganda for the conservative side of politics. This has nothing to do with the Bible!'
