Question and Answers from gnmagazine.org:
Regarding Lesson 8 of your Bible Study Course, how can water
baptism be for the forgiveness of sins, as water cannot wash away sins?
Can you advise on preparation for the end of this current system
that exists on earth? Should I store some food and water? What are
your thoughts?
I am not clear about Luke 23:43, where Jesus told one of those
crucified with Him that he would be with Him in paradise. I've heard
it explained that the comma is in the wrong place, which changes the
meaning. Can you help clarify this verse?
I would like to know why I was put on this planet because I'm
fed up with my life.
When and how often should Christians partake of the Lord's
Supper as directed by Jesus to remember His death for the sins of
the world?
Why
did Jesus say, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" during
His last moments of consciousness? Why did God apparently abandon
Him?
Though baptism is certainly an important part of the Christian life,
is it mandatory for salvation?
Celebrating Christmas?
How does the evidence of life on earth millions of years ago
equate with the Bible claim that God created life on earth recently
by comparison?
I
need to know the exact—or better still, the true Bible
birth date—of Jesus Christ. Is this possible?
The
article titled, "The Biblical Festivals That Reveal Christ's
Role in God's Plan" in the September-October 2005 issue is totally
wrong. There is nothing in the Scriptures to support anyone getting
a second chance for salvation once they are dead.
The
whole world is in a mess—wars, conflicts, the killing
of innocent peoples. Can we do anything? A major, determined effort
is required if humanity is to survive.
I disagree with the logic in your Good News sidebar
titled "Do
All Churches Get Their Teaching From the Bible?"
