#803- 10/13/2019

1. Help me understand the doctrine of election?
2. Is it right for our preacher to ask questions, calling on certain members of the assembly, including women, during worship?
3. My question concerns John 11:1-44, when Jesus raised Lazarus from death. Our preacher said that we should not say that Lazarus was resurrected, because only Jesus has ever been resurrected; but that Jesus resuscitated Lazarus. He gave an example of doctors resuscitating people after they have stopped breathing and their hearts have stopped beating. Is there a difference in resurrection and resuscitation, and what did Jesus do to Lazarus?
4. Why does God allow mass shootings, fatal accidents, and other horrible things to occur?
5. What is the 70 week prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27?

#802- 10/6/2019

1. In Acts 1:11 the angel told the apostles that Jesus would come back in like manner as they saw Him go into heaven. Does that mean that Jesus will come back and actually step foot on this earth again?
2. When Jesus returns will we be judged by God?
3. What can a Christian learn from the Old Testament? Is it as pertinent to my growth as the New Testament?
4. If God is all knowing from beginning to end, then why did He grieve about man in Genesis? If you are all knowing, then one will not get emotional over behavior if you know it’s going to happen.
5. When people die do they go straight to heaven? Do they know what is happening to their loved ones on earth after they die?
