  1. In reference to forgiveness, I understand that the Bible teaches that we must forgive in order to be forgiven, but recently I was asked, does the Bible actually tell us that we do not have to forgive until we are asked of that forgiveness from the person personally?
  2. Is there a difference between the Apostles (the 12) and apostle? The Bible specifically refers to “apostles” in Acts 14:14 regarding Paul and Barnabas.
  3. Is the “Celebration/Memorial” of the dead Biblical in nature? Various kinds of funerals are held before or after the body is laid rest.
  4. Can a member of the Lord’s church contribute financial support towards benevolence or funeral costs for non-members?
  5. Is there any possibility of John the Apostle partaking the Lord’s Supper while exiled at the Island of Patmos? What implications does this have upon proxy-worship?
  6. Can a Christian watch the “FBI FILES” TV documentary in light of 1 John 2:15-17?
