QUESTIONS COVERED:

1.      What's the meaning of Isaiah 45:6? Does God create evil?

2.      I’ve heard it said that there are no grandchildren in Lord’s kingdom, only one father, we all are brothers and sisters. If that’s the case, could you explain why Paul called Timothy and Titus “my true son” in 1 Timothy 1:2, 2 Timothy 1:2, and Titus 4? Why did Paul call Timothy & Titus his sons?

3.      Is LGBTQ+ entitled to salvation if they repent?

4.  I have a question regarding Hebrews 9:27. Jesus resurrected many people during his time here and I wonder what happened to those people who He resurrected? This verse has me a bit confused!  I am not referring to those that he took back after His resurrection. I am speaking specifically of those mentioned prior to his crucifixion.
 
5.   The Bible says "God hardened Pharaoh's heart". What if Pharaoh's heart wasn't hardened? Would the Israelites have been let go earlier? What if God hadn't hardened Pharaoh's heart?   
 
6.   Are Ellen G. Whites's writings equal to the Holy Scriptures?

7.  Is the Seal of God linked with the Sabbath?
 
8.      Please explain the meaning and relevance of Judges 19? Yes, it may have occurred at a very low time in Israel's spiritual history but what's the principle for us or lesson for us today?
 
9. My girlfriend and I are both in the faith. We fell into the sin of having sexual intercourse before marriage and were convicted by the spirit to stop. We know that the Bible says it is wrong and have since stopped with the help of God. We are now trying to wait until after marriage. Although we have stopped and are moving in a better direction, at times I feel the temptation is very strong because we have already done the act. My question is should we continue to keep the relationship going and strive together to keep God’s law or end the relationship and go our separate ways? Should my girlfriend and I stay together if we're tempted by sin?

10.  Is it biblical to think that the ‘breath of life’, gifted to man by God and returned to God when we die, contains the personality and character of the person that passes? Also, when Christ returns and resurrects those sleeping in the grave, will they be raised with the same personality and character they had in life?
 
11.  Do I need to worry about purgatory?
  
12.  If someone is shy and does not like to engage in politics, should the person still be appointed to serve as an executive of a Christian body? Should shy people hold church offices?

Amen. Bless God. The show to open the hearts of the world. What a beautiful way of sharing gospel attributes. Praise God. Come quickly Lord Jesus. Thanks and God bless all.

[mysticdre]

Goes to show that we are not robots. When GOD made us, HE did not force us to serve him, HE gave us a choice.

[samuelwilson]

The church today is being crippled by pride, prejudice and politics. As the pen of inspiration said, the spirit of the world seems to be running the church.

[dianechapmanbettyboop]

No God doesn’t create evil, that is what Satan does. Satan was evil in Heaven when he thought he was greater than Jesus, he was evil then, then he brought evil when he tempted Eve to sin.

[SandraMarcano-myvb]

I am asking. Why did the lord say i create evil. Isaiah 45. 7. Where he the lord said he created these things.

[vijayramaniah]

Refer answer to ADEOYE: People have the genetics of their parents, the maybe short tempered or patient, violent or tolerant, generous or miserly etc. A crab cannot walk straight. So how will these people be judged?

[nardasimpson]

No, God says he made all things, but your are not to touch evil, Him God says he create evil, help me understand

[nicolettesmith-francis]

So where does Lucifer get is evil thoughts then

[tiger]

The New King James; Isaiah 45:7 I make peace and create calamity;

Either way; rather evil or calamity, it is the same as, I form the light and create darkness. Light exposes darkness and peace exposes evil. (Or calamity). It is the same as God saying He hardened Pharaoh's heart. What God did exposed the fact that Pharaoh's heart was determined to be hard by His own character tendencies. God bless you and your families. Thanks!

[tonyaakaelijahdieker]

Delete the messages from the messenger of Malachi 3 1 and you reject Jesus and choose to die with the wicked

[FormVoltron]

Who created ALL THINGS and PLACED EVERYONE on their SPECIFIC PATHS???
The path to the KINGDOM of HEAVEN or the KINGDOM of SATAN???
Did GOD not WRITE the STORY of REALITY in ADVANCE??

God created Satan, the Antichrist, Pharaoh, Judas and King Nebuchadnezzar for HIS OWN purpose!!

Romans 9:17 (AMP)
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "I RAISED YOU UP FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE, TO DISPLAY MY POWER IN [dealing with] YOU, AND SO THAT MY NAME WOULD BE PROCLAIMED IN ALL THE EARTH."

It is GOD ALONE that has WRITTEN the NAMES of ALL that HE would show MERCY UPON in HEAVEN before the FOUNDATION of the WORLD!!

Romans 9:14-16, 18-24 AMP
[14] What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Certainly not! [15] For He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOMEVER I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOMEVER I HAVE COMPASSION." [16] So then God's choice is not dependent on human will, nor on human effort [the totality of human striving], but on God who shows mercy [to whomever He chooses-it is His sovereign gift]. [18] So then, He has mercy on whom He wills (chooses), and He hardens [the heart of] whom He wills. [19] You will say to me then, "Why does He still blame me [for sinning]? For who [including myself] has [ever] resisted His will and purpose?" [20] On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers [arrogantly] back to God and dares to defy Him? Will the thing which is formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" [21] Does the potter not have the right over the clay, to make from the same lump [of clay] one object for honorable use [something beautiful or distinctive] and another for common use [something ordinary or menial]? [22] What if God, although willing to show His [terrible] wrath and to make His power known, has tolerated with great patience the objects of His wrath [which are] prepared for destruction? [23] And what if He has done so to make known the riches of His glory to the objects of His mercy, which He has prepared beforehand for glory, [24] including us, whom He also called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?

IF YOUR NAME IS WRITTEN IN HEAVEN
“THAT IS THE MERCY”
“THE GIFT OF GOD”
Luke 10:20 (AMP)
Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."

If God did not WRITE your NAME in HEAVEN you belong to the KINGDOM of SATAN!!

Revelation 13:4, 8 KJV
[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

The tale of two kingdoms
Two seeds
Two Eternal Destinations

Genesis 3:15 KJV
[15] And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

God’s Kingdom VS Satans

John 8:44 (AMP)
You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what it natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths.

[roncompton]

The pharaohs heart was hardened so he would release the Israelites after the passover on the Annual Sabbath of unleaven bread like the Lord set our salvation up.

[roncompton]

Ellen was a prophet yet she sinned when she inserted her feelings over Gods enlightenments
