Ab1: Why does God choose people like Paul who were disobeying God while many people seek God and cannot find him? Will certain people be unable to be saved even if they try hard to seek God?

Answer - 1Cr 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:

1Cr 1:27  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

1Cr 1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

1Cr 1:29  That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Verse 29, I believe, hits at the herat of this question. In short, God not only sees (looks at) what one does, but WHY one does it. Many are doing (attempting to do) the "right thing" Biblically, but their motivation is all wrong. They want glory, honor, and recognition that they "got it right", when God is really looking for sincere hearts, desiring the Truth (Jesus), and willing to "work in the vinyard".

2Th 2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2Th 2:11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Satan works overtime to deceive those who otherwise be saved. His method? The same old method he always has used:

1Jo 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

When deceived, and not willing to receive the love of the truth (Jesus, The Word), one is sent a strong delusion (not just a delusion) by God, and thereby condemned not by God, but by that which already esisted in that individual:

Jam 1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

Jam 1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

Jam 1:15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Jam 1:16  Do not err, my beloved brethren.

Ab2: See above.

7(c): 2Cr 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body, according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.

Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

7(d): Gal 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

4(e): Its funny that I should come across this question.  I was actually reading about a book yesterday (I believe it was called the Book of St. Peter but I'm not sure) and it brought up an interesting concept about hell that I hadn't heard before but had often wondered about.  You see, this book is just one of a long list of biblical books that were not excepted into the cannon (bible) by the early church, possibly solely because this message was too contraversial for the time.  Anyway, The book describes a man (I think it was Peter) who is speaking with God and asks the same question you did, and God tells him the big secret, that all those in hell will eventually be forgiven as well.  Of course, if everyone thought this, there might not be quite as much encouragement to stay on the "straight and narrow" as there would be if people thought they were going to burn in hell forever.  But I encourage you to do as much research on the subject as possible and don't just take take my word for it.

1(a): We measure success differently to God.  So with our limited wisdom and the world's influence on us we make judgements on success which are contrary to God's beliefs.  Success to me would be to know His will and to walk in it.

1(b): They haven't put him first in their life and sometimes He needs to bring us to our knees in order to put Him first.  He will go to any length to draw us close to Him.  There are no athiests in fox holes!

1(c): Satan will always try and pull us away from God but the Bible says "resist the devil, draw near to God, and he shall flee".  We must resist first then draw near to God.

1(e): First of all, everyone on earth has failed (sinned) and fallen short of what God requires of him, says the Bible.  It doesn't seem that circumstances or whose to blame has much to do with the gospel message.  And Christians are those who have recognized their sin, confessed it and walked away from it to follow Jesus who paid for their sin on the cross.  And if we are faithful to the end, I believe we will be blessed just to be in heaven.  But the Bible also says something about Christians gaining crowns in heaven - I believe that those who suffered more for their faith will have more crowns.  Some, for example have died for their faith.  The Bible also says that those who only acted good on this earth so that others would notice, have already had their reward (from men).  And those who only do good to get the praise of men, don't sound like true Christians and it's doubtful that they would even be in heaven.  God looks upon the heart, not the outward appearance.  And one who has come from the worst of circumstances or backgrounds has no excuse for not entering in and receiving the blessings of Heaven, once he has heard Jesus calling him.  Jesus said, "I stand at the door and knock and if you open the door, I will come in and be with you."

1(g): While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, the just for the unjust - our righteousness is as filthy rags - This is what the Bible says.  We are not saved by our own works, lest any man should boast is also in the Bible.  We are saved by having faith in Christ - faith in what He accomplished for us on the cross, ie paying for our sins with His blood.  The Bible says that by grace you are saved thru faith and that not of yourself.  We then serve Christ out of love for him and not out of fear that we will miss heaven.  And when we fall short - make mistakes - we can repent and continue on our journey with Jesus.  We have a High Priest in heaven (Jesus) who understands our infirmities and is there to help us with our trials and struggles.......On to the next part of your question.  What do you mean by failure?  Once you have heard that Jesus loves you and died for you so that you could live forever, the only failure would be failure to trust in the One (Jesus) who has accomplished everything for you - no human being can save himself.  Relax a bit and learn about Jesus - accept the love that He has for you.  When you are in Christ you are a new creature, the Bible says - old things are passed away and all things are become new.  So, repent of your sins, telling Jesus that you are sorry for them, accept His forgiveness, thank Him for paying the penalty for your wrong doings, and begin to rest in His love.  Jesus is our rest.  You are not a failure if you are trusting in Him and what He has done for you on the cross.

Hi Judy

Thanks for your letter and feedback. I have also made comments below which I plan to also list on the website. I will not list your email address

How do you explain the many scriptures that indicate that salvation is conditional on obedience to God?

They are listed on the below website. Could you tell me which parts of the full report that you have read on my site because many people only read the summary and can get the wrong impression of what I mean. The full report explains things better and contains many scriptures that many people do not think about. Please see http://www.truechristianity.com/christian///salvationbfull.htm

Many of us have great ideas that will benefit many people and even lead others to God. However most of them do not benefit many people and end in disappointments due to circumstances beyond our control. For example we need to find the correct people to help but cannot. Also frustrating problems delay us so that projects are not finished in time to benefit people. This can be regarded as failure. If we definitely had a relationship with God there should at least be some evidence that He is working in our lives and loving us.

Failure could also be regarded as not having a close relationship with God and receiving blessings and answered prayers from Him like explained in the letter that we can share at http://www.truechristianity.com/prayerletteremail.htm . I will send you the letter because if you share it, it should help find good fellowship. Please let me know what you think of it.

Your help is appreciated,
Regards Richard.

1(a): Like a family, we all have different gifts and abilities.

The twelve apostles were all different, not all were trail blazers....I have never met anyone who could name all 12 of them.....because they didn't all make the same impact. We all CHOOSE how to live our lives....how can we all succeed with imperfect choices?? God loves all of mankind in principle anyway, but allows us freedom to choose, which results in our success or failure.

2(a): The principles are all laid down in scripture....we have to seek to find!

2(b): Scripture is the only decider in this.....not just bits of scripture, but the whole message contained in the Bible. take it seriously....make a study of it....understand the so called contradictions and see things God's way.

Ab1: The Creator reads HEARTS....something we cannot do, which is why maybe we are surprised at some decisions He has made in the past.........David.....Rahab......Paul etc.

1(b): Maybe not all people understands what is God`s will for them because bible says that "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to Me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children"....but always we have a chance to come back to God because of Jesus.. If I accept sacrifice of Jesus then already I understand that I have everything and I cant to live like unbeliever.

A1.: I think you should really consider if you are doing more harm than good. If your really serious about walking a christian life and teaching others(reading your webpages....I question if you really are)Get help on your interpertation's of the bible. The way which it has been taught too me, is to live by example. You don't have to start a new movement to do the Lord's will...he already did that. Just live a christian life the best you can by "loving God with all you heart mind and soul" "and to love one another as he has loved you". (If you have any understanding, you'll understand that phrase in itself is all encompassing and simplified of all of God's will) Give as often as you can, be meriful, and show grace and compassion to others. God "loves his faithful" and but he also shows kindness to the unthankful and wicked. Just emulate him, the best you can and pray if your belief wavers. If you need guidence, I would recommend reading "the Orthodox Way" by Bishop Kallistos!

  Ware. The book will help you on your way. Most importantly go to Church, take commuion, engage in the holy sacraments they are living gifts from God. If your earnest go, visit an Orthodox Church and talk with the priests. Another book to read would be "Becoming Orhtodox"...."A Journey to the Ancient Christian Faith" by Peter E. Gillquist. Good Luck and God Bless.

Christ has Risen!!!!!! Risen indeed.

A3.: Even better....The Orthodox Church. They are the the Church of Christ, established by Jesus through St.Paul, St.Peter, and all the other apostles and saints. Authority was given to them and the apostilic's procession is traced back to the apostles themselves.

1(a): It is writen in Deuteronomy 28:1-13 that, if we are obedient and will to do the will of God, we shall inherit all the promises listed there. Therefore, God has already blessed us and wants us to success in order to praise Him and through this, unbelivers should come and serve Him. But, it is unfortunately that, now adays, many want this success not for the GLORY OF GOD but, for their own selfish sake,so, it will be very difficult for them  now to get this success from God; because the Bible says, you cannot be in SINS and say the grace may abide. Another reason is that, when you are seeking success for your own sake, there is some dangerSthat attached to this, and God is so Love and Kind that would never allow us the perish: John 10:10. I will God shall teach us the more in Jesus name. From Matthew:leymath2006@yahoo.com.

1(b): Of a truth,some people are experiencing all these situations because of their constant disobedent to the WORDS OF GOD.There some brethren who know the truth doctrine of God would not do them or put them into practise. We still can see some people(christian)who visit habalist, false prophets etc after the Sunday service. Is this the will of God?...No, all these constitute to their more frustration. Secondaly,at times, God usually uses all these situations to proof HIM-HIS POWER to the world, the adivice now is that, those who find themselves in these situation, do not compromise their faith, God shall visit them one day.God bless.From Matthew of leymath2006@yahoo.com.

Ab1: Oh definately.  Yes, I do believe that there are wolves amongst the sheep.  And I do pray and try to encourage people to read the Word of God for themselves and to give Jesus a Chance.  And I'm not the most perfect christian in the Universe;  Only Jesus is.   

Ab2: Then I guess I must be pretty weird.  I can never deny the power of God ever.  He is everywhere, controlling everything.  This is truly the first time I can actually send my opinions and really express what I feel about Scriptures and let it bring me joy.  But there is some sadness too for me, because I think some people just don't get it.  No matter how hard they try their inward man or woman does not have the heart for it

Ab3: I have honestly been confused by that.  I would like to believe that God desires that none should perish and would like all to be saved.  That is why I sometimes just say lately "Give Jesus a Chance"  There is not to many people that I can truly express and burn up lots of minutes on my cell phone except My girlfriend in New York, and my client that I clean house for in Florida.  Actually just my friend in N.Y.  I visit the other woman 2x a month to clean.  Wonderful woman.  We connect so deeply.  She is a widow of a pastor.  She would love these free booklets.

(Ac1): Aren't we suppose to pray for our enemies .  And didn't even Jesus say" Forgive them Father for they do not know what they do?"

(Ac1): No. Because there are many sinners in the world who need deliverence from there sins, as well as; ones who have backslid. When God brought Isreal out of Egypt and all the miracles God performed the people still turned away to worship an idol calf made of gold. God had made his mind up to destory those people but Moses pulled on the Lord asking him to turn from his wrath. I feel that if the prayer is ginuwine and constant you can never say it was a waste of time because our way is not His and the more where sin abounds his grace is even more.

A7.: I believe the "prophets" of today are not "foretellers" at all, but are, instead, the moral consience of the countries in which they live!

A9.: Yes. God has shown me things to come in my personal life by "speaking" to me through what some might call "intuition" ( but I know it was God and that I don't have intuition)

A11.: I think you need the great Godly movement so that you will see the supernatural occurences - the Bible says the apostles went with "...signs following..." - you don't believe because you see miracles - you see miracles because you believe!

Ab1: I believe that anyone who trulty accepts Jesus and gives him control of their life will be saved - the Bible says - "alll who call upon the name of Jesus shall be saved." - of course they must hear of the TRUE Jesus and not some "religious" phony!

Ab3: Jesu does love you. Just who is seeking God where, and not finding him - the Bible says that he is " a rewarder of those who diligently seek him." Perhaps we'ree looking in the wrong places?!

1(c): Even the poorest person can help others - fi someone trips and falls they can help them up - even this is God's will for someone - maybe we should rethink what God's will is for a lot of us - we can't be a "Billy graham" but we can tell our neighbor about Jesus and help him fix his car, or something! -

1(d): perhaps God's will for someone at a particular moment is to make a mistake so that they can learn and avoid a more tragic one in the future   ???!!!

1(e): It's up to God!

1(f): Who can really agrue with God if he is not fair?!  I believe he is but , really, who could do anything about it if he wasn't?!

1(g): God's definition of success and ours are vastly different! One may succeed simply by telling one other person about Jesus in their whole life - you can't know what God wants for someone else! Just do what he wants you to!

2(a): "Christian?" - does this mean they are of God?! - look at the fruit - Jesus said "by this shall all men know you are my disciples - if you have love to one another" - now, you have to get into what "love" really is!

2(b): Wow! maybe none of us is right! - we better just obey what we believe to be right - "anything that is not of faith is sin"

2(c): Led into wrong. Sounds like being "carnally-minded" to me - "let go and let Jesus" - or "stop trying to be good and just let good be" is what I tell people!

2(d): Who is it saying that what the world calls "Christian" is really of God?! - are they doing what Jesus said to do? - then are they really "christian?!"

2(e): He has already told us in the bible - "is there any sick among  you? - let him call for the elders of the church and they shall annoint his head with oil and the orayer of faith shall save the sick" - perhaps we should try doing exactly what God says!

2(f): Do they really - Jesus told us in matthew  to go into our closet to opray but many stand and pray in the church? - do you think they are going to have the prayer ansered when they disobeyed the Lord, Jesus?!

3(a): People think that if they don't get what they want there prayers are not answered. This is not true. God answers prayers of his children but sometimes the answer is no!

3(b): Where are they looking for God? Jesus said "he is within you!"

4(a): If we assume, first, that the Bible does NOT contradict itself - then we come to a much different understanding of particular verses than we would if we were looking for ways to discredit the word.

4(c): He gives us all time to repent and accept his way!

4(d): God always has been - no beginning and no end - I don't fully understand that - but I believe it - in my heart - itr makes no sense in my head but in my heart it is true!

5(b): You can do God's will by just helping someone who is broke down on the side of the road - you may give them a lift to the parts store to get something to fix their vehicle or you may just take them to a phone (or let them use your cell to call a wrecker. There are many opportunities for simple obedience to the will of God!

6(b): Anything whic is not of faith is sin - of the Devil!

4(c): god created us and we made the choice to open the door to the devil, we disobeyed God and in return we must suffer the consequences of Adam and Eve's decision, but God is a merciful God and therefore we are still given the choice to choose eternal life with him or the devil, who we chose to bring into our hearts long ago and one day he will return to take and once again renew all that we helped destroy.

4(d): you must understand that we were created. we did not create ourselves! therefore the knowledge of our creator is only enough to help guide us to complete our task here on earth, so why worry where he came from if God did not make it clear then dont worry about it, first concentrate on saving what we helped lose and then if youve suceeded this life ask him when you get to heaven : )

4(e):  i believe that those who chose the path of darkness and were sent to hell suffer death every minute and day of eternity. once again it is quite clear that God gives us a straight forward choice either take his path and live with him for eternity or choose the devils path, choose to be tempted once again like the beginning and you can share eternal damnation with the angel who was thrown out of heaven forever for his choice against God.

A1.: i think you should add a christian chat room so christians can meet and discuss their christian beliefs, opinions, questions, and/or answers easier and faster.

A2.: Patsy Rady

A3.: Heaven is supposed to be perfect, no sadness, or sympathy.

But what if somebody you really love and know very well, or are very close to, like a relative or close friend or neighbor, well what if you died and went to Heaven but they didn't? Wouldn't you be sad, or have sympathy for them, or for anyone who doesn't make it? I know people would say that the joy of being with the Lord and in Heaven and all would overcome that, but I don't think it would because wouldn't you want the best for these people? Wouldn't you want to be with them eternally?

1(a): He wants to challenge us and it is our choice whether we succeed or not. Everyone eventually has a chance, whether they may recognize it or not.

3(a): All prayers are answered, just some do not get of what is asked. See, prayer is like traffic light. Green=go/yes, God will give you what you asked for  Yellow=slow/not yet, but God will give you what you asked for   Red=Stop/no, God will not give you what you asked for...he knows what is best and he knows how it all turns out

3(b): God knows what is best for you, he sees the big picture. He does not want these things to happen. He is in control and it will all turn out o.k. in the end.

4(a): That is one way how God tests you and your faith. You just have to ask him. If he wants you to know flat out, he will tell you. If not, he may give you a clue, or he may just tell you to think about it and figure out what you believe.

4(b):  He wants to test you..this is one way he does so.

4(c): Start Again!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!?!?! Why would God have his son die and suffer all over again and create the world once again? This will answer your question.

4(e): Yes, I do because why should they receive any better? They did not believe in him and the bible, and they do not deserve heaven. there is only either heaven or hell after you die. so you get one or the other.

5(b): Suicide is a huge sin and if you commit suicide, you go to hell. If you go on, you may possibly go to heaven.

5(f): Possibly. Money often makes people think that they are happier if they are wealthy, therefore they do not need God or his gift. Because of this, people may not believe and fall short of the glory of god.

5(g): He might because once you have money, you may think that money is happiness and that you dont need god or his glory because you are wealthy and you think you can buy happiness. God sees the big picture and he knows whats gonna happen so he may try to prevent this from happening to you.

Email: yes i do want my email included with my feedback on the website.

3(a): The prayer that does not succeed in changing our wisdom, in changing the passionate desire into still submission, the anxious, tumultuous expectation into quiet surrender, is not true prayer. The life is most holy in which there is least of petition and desire and most of waiting upon God, that in which prayer often passes into thanksgiving. Pray until prayer makes you forget your own wishes and merges it into God's will. Divine wisdom has given us prayer not to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them. Not as a means to escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it. God often delays answering prayers to try the motives and the faith of His people. God knows what is best for us and what we need. We need to ask in accordance with His will and then we shall receive. God hears all sincere prayers offered up in faith. Though the delay may be long and painful, the sincere prayer is never unanswered. Have faith in God and He will help you. "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2Peter 3:9. Learn the promises of God and when you pray, claim them, saying that he has promised them to you in His word, all the while doing His will and keeping His commandments as best you know how and He will never forsake you.

3(b): The Apostles were led of God and did miracles to show a world who had never heard of Christ or God that God was indeed the true God and Christ had come to this world and that he was the true Son of God. The reason that many people today seek God and do not get "anywhere" is because all they want to do is to have the power to do miracles and to be admired of people. God's will for the majority of people is to go about their in obedience to the commandments of God and leading other people to God. God has something planned for every person who is born. If they only seek out His will and learn what He would have them do, they would find some way that they may serve God. Even leading others to Bible truth by example is serving God. Live a holy life in the sight of men.

4(a): You are to search the Bible as for hidden treasure. Sometimes what's on the surface isn't all there is to it, or it doesn't mean what it appears to mean. Search the Bible prayerfully and ask God to give His Holy Spirit to guide you and to help you discover what is really being said.

4(d): There are some things that God reveals to us in His word that it is good for us to know. It doesn't say that God came into being. He always was. He never had any beginning and He will never have any end.

4(e): No. The Bible never says that anywhere will the be people in hell burn forever. It just says that the fire will continue forever. And since "Our God is a consuming fire" Hebrews 12:29, it's God that goes on forever. The fire that burns the wicked is from God and God never ends. The punishment for evil is death and that punishment is everlasting. "The wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23. The death will last forever, not the means of dying.

5(a): Because God knows our hearts, He knows what we would do with that extra money if He allowed us to have it. Some people would use it to satisfy themselves and some others would do the right thing and give it back to God. The reason that the world is as good as it is, is because God does not let certain things happen until it is time.

6(a): In answer to this I have only a few quotes from the Bible. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27. "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you." 2Corinthians 6:17. "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1Corinthians 10:31.

6(c): An idol is something that is placed above God, loved and served more than Him. Covetousness is also idolatry, Ephesians 5:5. Idolatry is also breaking the second commandment.

Ab1: I not certain that the comment on Matthew 11:15 was completely correct.  I think Jesus was applying that to everyone who was able to discern.

Email: Paul_T_Moore@hotmail.com,   yes i think i am kinda interested in interaction, this appears like a good way to question and grow.

name: Paul T. Moore obviously, I'm a 21 yr. old college student.  I dabbling in ministering to all, but aimly at youth.  I guess you could say i'm a youth minister, but i hate the title because to me it's religious.  I feel like we should all minister to all. 

Church: Christian, I grew up in the Church of Christ, I spent my high school years as a part of the world.  Almost unexplainably, God did definately call me painfully out of the world at the age of 20.  I'm currently searching just the mysteries of God and his word, trying to understand and be apart of the Body of Christ.

List: Yes, you can list my answers, but i'm young in the word, and will probably be helped more than i could help.

Ab3: We were all created equally in His image and are all loved by Him even if we have chosen a different path than the one He has laid out before us.

(Ac1): Only God can choose who to admit into His Kingdom who are we to decide which of us are worthy

(Ac2): We should pray for everyone, a prayer is like planting a seed and God sends others to water and nurture the seed but only with God's power will the seed blossum.

1(a): God has put us on this earth for His purpose and in order to fulfill that specific purpose we must be prepared if we cannot handle the trials then our faith is lacking.

1(b): to be angry with God is to lack faith, God has made everyone and everything to His purpose and to be a Christian is to believe that it is all part of a bigger plan. "For everything a season..."

1(c): to fall to satan is to lose sight of God. God is the almighty provider and everything is done in His time. People will be turned away from God when they lack the faith in Him that he will provide or if they become eager for immediate gratification. "He will neither leave you nor forsake you"

1(d): The closer you are to God the more you know His will, He has given us freewill and we are able to choose sometimes people become so engrossed in the world that they lose sight of what we are here for and want earnestly to believe that their marriage partner, profitable business deal, etc. is from God when in fact it is their only for their gain.

1(e): It is always a fault of our own when we go against God's will it is hard also to discern but if we ask for forgiveness through Jesus than we are "washed white as snow". If you earnestly seek to be forgiven it will be granted but God knows what is truly in your heart.

1(f): God is the definition of justice, He knows the inner chambers and closets and all of the secrets of your heart He will be just in deciding if you have lived your life according to His purpose if or if you had only appeared to be doing His will.

1(g): As humans we are apt to fail but "God sent His only beggotten son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life".

2(a): When you worship God you do it in a way that your heart compells you to. Whether you are singing, dancing, or inwardly praising. But you also do it by living your life according to how the scriptures tell you to. You worship God by using the talents and gifts that He has bestowed upon you. You glorify God by being like Jesus. Your very presence begins to eminate God when you are living for His purpose. People simply have different ways of showing God that they love Him. If you deligently seek Him for guidance, discernment, etc. you will receive it. Sometimes it is a feeling sometimes it is someone showing you the way but if you are close to God you will always know it is of God.

2(b): I believe that they may all be right in a small way but that each is focusing to much on a certain aspect. For example the Jewish fully worship God while almost diminishing Christ to a prophet, while the penecostals give almost all of the glory to Jesus, and Kabahlists focus on the Holy Spirit I think that you need to see the Trinity as one entity and give equal praise to all parts.

2(c): God does not tempt that is satan's job God allows satan to tempt us to strenghten and prove our faith and love for God

2(d): Many have pursued God for their own personal gain and fallen away from His grace. Their are people who are still given the gifts of prophecy but do not televise them  for that is self-seeking.Although I was not given the gift of prophesy  I am a very God lead person and  I always consult Him and His word for daily decisions

2(e): I find that if I am diligently seeking or if God has a message for me that I am having a hard time receiving He will get my attention. I think that they may just lose hope to soon everything is done according to His pupose and in His time

2(f): Simply asking for clarity and discernment is enough otherwise bringing the matter before a fellow Christian can help shed light

3(a): Every prayer that has ever been prayed has been answered the answer may be yes or it may be no or it could also be not right now

3(b): they diligently sought Him they lived every moment for His glory. They faced hardships, and persecution for His namesake How many people now a days would sell everything they had give the money to the poor and travel around the world spreading God's message of salvation? Not one that I know.

3(c): Hearing the Gospel is not enough going to church is not enough giving to the poor is not enough You must ask Jesus into your heart, you must give up ALL worldly ways and you must believe "not only through good works but also with faith are you saved" faith that God created us, Jesus saved us , and the Holy Spirit guides us

4(a): The Bible is very clear but if you do not ask for the clarity you will not understand Mark 4:11 " The secret of the Kingdom of God has been given to you but to those on the outside everything is said in parables"

4(c):  He promised Noah that He would never again desroy the Earth as He did in the flood

4(d): That is beyond our human understanding, we were not made to accept that kind of knowledge

4(e): I am not sure of where the unbelievers will go but it is said to be a lake of fire that burns without killing and that you beg for death but no relief comes for you have already forsaken the Father

5(a): I know rich Christains and I know poor Christians the rich tithe their money and the poor tithe their time and talents

5(b): we cannot live as if we have nothing for just having the opportunnity to be alive is a gift from God He has called us according to His purpose and he has created us in order to fulfill tha purpose by tapping into that purpose and living in the way that God has deemed fitting we are one step closer to having that Heavenly home that all Christians receive as a reward to their faith and endurance. Matthew 19:23-24 " Jesus said ' I tell you it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Again I teel you it is easier for a camal to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven".

5(c): when something happens that is bad God uses it for the good of His purpose

5(d): No, if it is according to God's will and used according to His purpose than it is okay to "succeed"

5(e): they should use their job as a place to minister to the lost or in other ways to glorify God by simply doing your job with an eager heart you are glorifying God

5(f): with wealth comes a lot of temptaions they are not necessarily of satan but could fall to satan if they begin to lose sight of who has given them all that they have

5(g): no God would not punish for seeking to do His will but they may not have an understanding of what His will is for them if they continually lose

6(a): yes, when you sow a seed you reap the benefits of that seed if you plant a Petunia seed you do not get an apple tree

6(b): they are temptaions and in this day and age it is very tempting to get into the buying frenzy it is a ploy of satan to draw you away from God but at the same time God will fulfill the desires of your heart if you are diligently seeking Him He does not mean for us to not be content He just doesn't want you to achieve these things at the expense of others and by doing that you forget where it all came form. You should be content with what you have and not covet what others have

6(c): yes when you value anything over the Lord you are committing idolotry

7(a): yes it is His wish that everyone would be like Jesus we are not judged at the gates of Heaven by how much we made or by what we drove but by how we lived our lives to glorify God

7(b): if they do not repent and turn from their self-seeking ways yes sadly there is

7(c): it is a crime according to God to seek something more than Him He is a jealous God if you break one commandment you have broken them all and the greatest commandment is love thy God with all thy heart
