Addiction, Examination and Communion
I’m struggling with a gambling addiction and have tried to stop. What can I do? Why did Jesus ask the Father to forgive the people who crucified Him? A pastor of 36 years recently announced he has embraced an alternative lifestyle. I’m trying to wrap my mind around it! Who is being described in Revelation […]
“Why do Catholics believe wine becomes blood?”
How do I help my Catholic friend who believes every communion becomes the body and blood of Christ? What is the difference between your soul and your spirit? My mother died two weeks ago, and I wonder if she is already with God or has to wait. Can you explain that?
“Examine yourselves? Get right before going to the altar?”
What is baptism in the Holy Spirit? When does it happen? Are we supposed to examine our recent sins before we take communion? And why does Paul say to “test yourselves” in 2 Corinthians 13? Finally, what about Jesus saying to get right with others before you go to the altar?
“Will some Christians be left behind?”
My pastor told me that 70% of church members will be left behind at the rapture because of their ungodly living. Could this be true? I keep repenting and asking forgiveness for telling funny stories and cutting up. I can’t seem to stop, and I wonder why I’m in this cycle. Can you help? An […]
“Examine yourself” at Communion? Actually, NO!
I’m loving the new book, “Gospel Zero”! I grew up “examining myself” and “letting the cup pass” at the Lord’s Supper. You’re saying all of that is not necessary? Do the books of the New Testament address both unbelievers and believers, at different times? My wife had an emotional affair 15 years ago, and I […]
“Advice for worship leaders?”
Should we turn away children and unbelievers from participating in the Lord’s Supper? What is your best advice for worship leaders? My husband died recently; and a friend told me God takes us early when we make bad decisions. Is this true?
Turn children or visitors away from communion?
Why do a variety of churches practice communion differently? Is church membership biblical? What does it mean to be not of this world? I argue with my friend about the Catholic view of transubstantiation. What are your thoughts? Why does God reference Able’s blood crying out? Are people who are murdered given another chance in […]

Why do so many churches not allow certain people to participate in the Lord’s Supper? Why does 1 Corinthians 3 talk about God destroying people who destroy His temple? Is Hebrew 6 really about apostasy or Christians walking away from the faith?

Will all of Israel be saved? Can unbelievers or children participate in the Lord’s Supper? Why does 1 John say Jesus is our Advocate? Is He up in Heaven constantly arguing on our behalf with an angry Father?

Do we need to ask for forgiveness? Are we sinners, saints, or both? Do you have to be baptized to participate in the Lord’s Supper? I think I have calculated the mark of the beast. Who were the Nephilim? What’s the context of 2 Timothy 2? Where was Joseph during the crucifixion? Are unbelievers under […]
