Q: What is the significance of the Cross? Ollie
A: It is where God died to give you His Life. Christ took your place, your sin, your diseases, your infirmities, your guilt, and your punishment, to set you free from sin and all its consequences. Gal. 3:13-14.
It is where you died, in Christ. Gal. 2:20, Col. 3:3. NB. Avoid idolatrous Cross symbols and idols. We worship the Living Christ, not the chunk of wood He died on.
Q: Is it right to have pictures of Jesus in places of worship? Thomas
A: No, it is blatant idolatry. Paintings, icons, crucifixes, and stained glass windows, all lead people away from the Living Christ into the snare of idolatry, and should be destroyed. God still hates idolatry. Deu. 5:8.
Q: How should we forgive others when they commit an offence against us?
A: From your heart, completely, immediately, just like your Father forgives you: Forgiveness of Sin. Col. 3:13, Eph. 4:32. Anything less will cripple your walk with God, and make you sick. Don't wait for the sinner to come and ask for forgiveness, forgive the sin, then when they come and ask forgiveness, you can show that you have forgiven the person who sinned against you.
Q: What is speaking in tongues? David
A: You'll find all your questions about Speaking in Tongues answered here.
Q: I said the prayer to accept Christ, and I meant it with all my heart. I have been baptised when I was born, so my question is, do I have to be baptised again? Alex
A: You were 'Christened' when you were an infant, that is not baptism. It is a demonic religious counterfeit. Water baptism is only for born again believers. Read our articles on Baptism and get baptised in obedience to your new Lord.
What is the best way to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses coming to the door? Lynda
A: More powerful than Mace! The last time a pair dared to approach me I used 2 Jn. 10, told them to repent or perish, and rebuked them in the Name of the LORD. You could actually see them wither. They slithered away, and haven't been back since. They can sometimes get saved, I know a bloke who was a Jehovah's Witness (Jay Dub) for over 20 years, before he found out he was following Satan.
Q: I heard that Christian Science group are a cult, is that correct? Mzungu
A: It's a bizarre metaphysical cult propagated by Mary Baker-Eddy during the last century. The 'Christiadelphians' are similar. Practically everything they teach denies God's Word. For example they claim sin is unreal, that there's no final Judgment, death is an illusion, and of course they deny the deity of Christ. Bonkers! Here's more information about the Errors of Christian Science.
Incidentally, Smith Wigglesworth led the UK's chief proponent of Christian Science to repent of her wickedness, and receive Christ, as she lay dying: Then God healed her, and sent her back to preach the true Gospel where she'd previously sown Satan's lies.
Q: Are the SDA Seventh Day Adventist a cult? Joy
A: Definitely a cult, despite their attempts to pretend otherwise. Read this about the SDA Cult for starters.
Q: Is it possible for a Christian to be demon-possessed? Daniel
A: No! Col. 1:13 etc. But Christians who don't walk in the Light will certainly be oppressed. This can be through ignorance of redemption, or simple disobedience. Genuine repentance and faith bring instant release and blessing.
Q: Which is the most accurate English translation of the Holy Bible? Saiguran
A: Tyndale's 1534 NT, and the KJV, but read my view on KJV-onlyism. And here you will discover The perfect Bible translation.
Q: What is your opinion of the 'sting of death'?
A: If you are referring to sin and the Law in 1 Co. 15:55-56, their power over believers was completely destroyed when nailed to the Cross in Christ. Read 'Identification' for further insight into this Gospel basic.
Q: How can I help lead my unsaved family members to Christ Jesus? Daniel
A: That's the Spirit! You'll find plenty of Evangelism Tips here.
Q: Is the NASB New American Standard Bible a reliable Bible?
A: I don't use it because I can't abide the abuse of English, but I understand it's doctrinally sound. Read Tyndale's NT (or the KJV) alongside.
Q: Why did God choose faith as a means to come to Him?
A: Another perfect question. Love is His motivation, faith is His transportation. Love and faith are His Nature. He knew we could never save ourselves so He wrought salvation for us. He lifts us up to His level, and the only thing He demands in return is our loving faith in Him. If you love and trust Him, you will obey Him. Eph. 2:1-10, Jn. 14:15, 23-24. What a God we serve!
Q: James 5:16b tells us, The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Who is truly righteous? Jerry
A: The only righteousness that counts is this one, Ro. 3:21-22, 2 Co. 5:21.
