Question:
What is the religion of Islam?

Answer:

Allah is their god; therefore they are idolaters. Allah is the Moon God. Does Allah have a son?  No.  So Allah cannot be the one true God of Heaven.  Abraham and Sarah sinned by having Hagar become pregnant with Abraham’s child in order to fulfill God’s prophecy.  Islam today is the result of that sin.  There are consequences when we sin, like ripples in a pond that reach far, even if it can’t be seen.

Question:

What are Jews? What do they believe?

They are those born in the nation of Israel to a Jewish father. Jesus was a Jew, born of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5).

Orthodox Jews believe the Old Testament is the Word of God; however they do not accept the New Testament as the Word of God. They do not believe Jesus was the Messiah.  Even though their Messiah came to this earth (Matthew 1:20-23) at Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1-6) and died for all men (Isaiah 53:5), they still look for Him to come.

Question:

How would you know you’re saved if sometimes you don’t feel like you are?

We need to learn to walk according to God’s Word, and not according to our feelings.  We have the promise of God’s Word that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:38,39).

Read Romans 10:9: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”  If you have confessed the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead after His death on the cross for you, you are eternally saved, no matter that the flesh or the world might be trying to convince you that you are lost.

Question:

Why do we go to church on Sunday since Saturday is the Sabbath?  

Answer:

The Lord rose from the dead on the first day of the week (Sunday) (John 20:1).

The early church met on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7).

Collections for the saints were to be taken up while gathering on the first day of the week  (1 Corinthians 16:2).                                                                                                    

We are not under the Law, but under Grace.  The Law was fulfilled in Christ (Matthew 5:17).

The first day of the week is called “The Lord’s Day” in Revelation 1:10.

Question:
Where did Jesus go when He came out of the tomb?

Answer:

He met privately with Peter (Luke 24:34). He met 2 people on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-31). See also 1 Corinthians 15:3-7.

Question:

Does not John 20:17, where it is stated, “Jesus saith unto her, Touch Me not; for I am not yet ascended to My Father: but go to My brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto My Father, and your Father; and to My God, and your God.”, show that the Lord did not go to the Father upon His death?

This verse actually shows that the Lord was instructing Mary that she could not hold Him to this earth any longer.  The word “touch” may also be translated, “to attach oneself.”  He was about to ascend to Heaven to sit at His Father’s right hand.  He could no longer stay with Mary and the disciples in the physical sense.  Note that the Lord later invited Thomas to touch Him (John 20:27).

Question:

Did Jesus’ spirit go to Heaven or Hell when He died?

Heaven.  In Luke 23:42-43, the Lord promised the repentant criminal on the cross beside Him that he would be with the Lord in Paradise that very day.  (Paradise is synonymous with Heaven…2 Corinthians 12:2,4)   In Luke 23:46, the Lord commended His spirit to the Father.

Question:
How old is Jesus?

Answer:

The Lord Jesus is eternal.  In Revelation 1:8, the Lord declares Himself to be the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.  In Daniel 7:9, the Lord is called the “Ancient of Days.”

Question:

How old was Jesus when he died?

Luke 3:23 states that the Lord Jesus was 30 years old when he began His public ministry. In the parable of a man and his vineyard (Luke 13:6-9), the Lord is obviously referring to Himself in the person of the dresser.  The parable shows how the man sought fruit in the vineyard for three years.  Upon finding no fruit, the owner orders the fig tree to be cut down.  The dresser asks for another year to work the vineyard.  This speaks of the Lord’s ministry to Israel.  So…beginning his ministry at 30, and laboring about 3 years, this would make Jesus to be about 33 years old when He was crucified.
