Appointed to life? Judgment for sins?
What does “appointed to life” mean in Acts 14:38? Why are Gentiles mentioned in that passage and near every teaching in the New Testament on predestination? Why did somebody tell me, “actions speak louder than words”? Why do so many churches have elaborate (and expensive) programs for children? Will God judge believers for their sins?
Predestined? Left Behind? Generational Curses?
Does God really pre-select some to believe while others can’t be saved? Why is “predestined” in Romans and Ephesians, not elsewhere? Does suicide disqualify us from heaven? Can you explain “left behind” in Matthew 24 and Luke 17? You say we should want to be left behind? Why? Do believers need to worry about generational […]
“What’s the Calvinist TULIP?”
Why did Jesus speak in such mysterious parables at times? Why are some people Paul haters? I go to a church that teaches the Calvinist tulip. Should I leave?
“I’ve been doubting a lot lately!”
What kind of marriage ceremony is enough for me and my fiancé? Why does Ephesians say that Jesus “descended”? Where to? Lately, I’ve been experiencing an intensity of doubts. What should I do? My new daughter-in-law’s family was offended at my wedding speech. How should I handle this?

Salvation for anyone? But the Bible says “predestined”!
I reported my friend because of the way they treat their granddaughter. I don’t know if I did the right thing. What is your viewpoint on Easter given its pagan roots? How can salvation be available for everyone if the Bible actually uses the word “predestined”? And what about “many are called but few are […]
Not enough faith to be healed?
I want to understand the Bible better, but where should I start? Also, how do I find verses on a particular struggle? What do you think about “not having enough faith to be healed”? What are your thoughts on the death penalty? What does it mean to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling”? […]
12.31.2023 – The Grace Message with Dr. Andrew Farley
Do unbelievers suffer forever in Hell? Or might there be an end to their suffering? Do we receive the Holy Spirit through water baptism? Does Acts 2:38 mean that water baptism is the key to salvation? In Acts 21, God warns Paul about going up to Jerusalem. Does that mean Paul was disobedient in going? […]

Who are the rulers and authorities mentioned in Ephesians? Which version of the Bible is the most accurate or reliable? What’s going on with the parable about the wedding clothes? What about the virgins who had no oil in their lamps?
