Q: Will the Church go through the Tribulation Period?

The Carnal Christian “Will The Real Child Of God Please Stand Up!”
The Carnal Christian “Will The Real Child Of God Please Stand Up!” First, of all, let ME acknowledge that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God,” as expressed in Romans 3:23: so, I’m not pointing a finger to say who is carnal and who is not; but I'm going to outline some characteristics of what a 'Carnal Christian' looks like.

“What is the difference between the Rapture of the Church and Christ’s Second Coming?” When we hear these two events mentioned in End-Time Studies, we have trouble distinguishing the differences? Thanks.
Question (2 of 3): "What is the difference between the Rapture of the Church and Christ’s Second Coming?" When we hear these two events mentioned in End-Time Studies, we have trouble distinguishing the differences? Thanks.

Q: Oil And Israel’s Future?
Q: You indicated in a previous Q&A Post, that the next few posts would come from the Book of Revelation and make reference to the end-time. Could you talk about the ‘OIL” situation in the Middle East, first, and how it relates Israel’s future? Thanks! A: [Part 1 of 3] If corporate giants in the world’s petroleum industry would be honest, and forthcoming with information about their intentions to control the world’s oil supply, they would also be honest about the
Q: What’s the significance of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrth the Wise Men gave Jesus?

“THE PARABLE OF THE LOST COIN”
"THE PARABLE OF THE LOST COIN" (Luke 15:8-10) “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it?

Q: What Jesus Meant By The Church Doing Greater Works?
Q: Can You share insight on what Jesus meant when He said, “We would do greater works than He?” A: Thanks for your question. There are two schools of thought as to what Jesus really meant by that ‘loaded statement, because, as a student of theology and biblical apologetics, I can’t wrap my brain around the idea of someone in human flesh doing greater works, that our Lord; when the Bible stated in the writings of the great Apostle John 21:25,
HOW GOD GUIDES HIS PEOPLE THROUGH 5 BASIC PRINCIPLES!
By: Dr. Mike Principle #1.

Q: What should be the Christian response to those that say, “If God is Righteous and Good, why does He permit so much violence in the world?”
Q: What should be the Christian response to those that say, “If God is Righteous and Good, why does He permit so much violence in the world?” A: It behoves us to first, understand the difference between God’s Sovereignty and His Providence, to gain a better understanding of what’s happening around us and in the world.
