Does Satan know the future?
Yes, all the demons know, in the same sense as an informed reader of the Bible knows. They don’t know in the same way God knows: with perfect understanding and infallible sight.
Why did Israel forget the Lord and serve other gods?
God told Joshua to meditate on the Book of the law of Moses day and night (Joshua 1:8). The rest of the population did not do this. Most people in church probably don’t read the Bible. Instead of paying attention … Continue reading

We become sick of many reasons, not for just one reason. The medical journals are full of examples. But can a spiritual issue make us sick? Let’s look at Scripture. “No longer drink only water, but use a little wine … Continue reading
Are the people in Hell hating God?
I think the answer to this question is found in Romans 3:19, “Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may … Continue reading
Whose fault is it when things go wrong? God or Satan?
It depends, of course. When Paul was preaching the gospel in several places, he was attacked by the nearby population for his message. Whose fault was it? The attackers’ fault. (Acts 16:16-24). When Jesus was betrayed by Judas, whose fault … Continue reading
Are there parts of the Bible only believers will understand?
Many people can read the Bible and get a surface or superficial understanding of the text. But the true knowledge of the text comes to the believer who confesses Jesus as Lord, receives the Holy Spirit, and lives as though … Continue reading
