By email: BibleQA@3abn.org By text: (618) 228-3975 QUESTIONS COVERED: 1.  Can you explain Luke 16:8-9? 2.  Can you please explain Judges 14:4 as it relates to Samson? Did God prompt Samson to choose a wife from the Philistine's camp? 3. Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? Jesus came to save that which is lost. Yet he cursed the fig tree that bore no fruit. He was very disappointed being hungry and expecting such a blooming tree to have fig fruit on it. God must get disappointed in us when we portray outer Christianity but have nothing inside. Is that the context of this scripture? 4.  Why does Jesus have to destroy sinners in a lake of fire? That seems a bit harsh for a God of Love. 5.  In light of God's clear instruction to the Israelites not to marry the heathen, Deuteronomy 7. How then did Esther, a Jew, end up marrying a heathen king? Is it that God permits some things for some people that are outside His will but that will accomplish His greater purpose? Based on this case, what would we say to a young Christian man or woman who chooses to marry a non-Christian in clear violation of 2 Corinthians 6:14? Does God allow us to go against His will to accomplish His greater purpose? 6. Were Lucifer and his angels cast out of Heaven before or after Adam and Eve were created? 7.  If you've been a Christian and you turn your back on the Lord and then come back to Him but then go back into drinking and stuff, will He forgive you and can you be a Christian again? Are we still Christians if we continue to fall into sin? 8.  God is not man nor does He have human emotions like man. He doesn't feel pain, fear, hunger or depression. How then can He feel ours? How does God relate to our emotions? 9. In the book of Matthew 12:31-32, we are told that blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven in this age and ages to come. Does this means that there is a difference between the Holy Spirit and the Son? Verse 32 states that speaking against the Son of man is forgivable. Please explain. Can you please explain Matthew 12:31-32? 10.  Did Solomon write Psalms 72 and 127 or were they written for/to him? At the end of Psalm 72 the scripture says: "The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended". 11. I recently came across a YouTube video in which a Pastor used Hebrews 7 trying to prove that the law of tithing has changed because Hebrews 7 has amended Malachi 3. How do you respond to this? Has the law of tithing changed?   12. Does the Bible say a teenager should not have any relationship with the opposite sex?      TDYQA240002 #Bibletopics #BibleQ&A ➡️SUBSCRIBE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Subscribe 💗DONATE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Donate 📗FREE MONTHLY MAGAZINE https://bit.ly/3ABN_Magazine 🔗FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/3abn.org/ 🔗INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/3abn_official/ 🔗TWITTER https://twitter.com/3abn 🔗WEBSITE https://3abn.org/
