And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Two desperate women, each in a crushing situation, approached the Lord Jesus Christ for help. The Bible records that He gave almost identical replies to both.
To one He said, Thy sins are forgiven. Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

Q: What is the significance in Christian history of the 5th. November, and the Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot?
A: “Bonfire Night” is highly significant for Christians worldwide. If the 1605 Jesuit plot had not been foiled; there would be no King James Version Holy Bible, a Catholic monarch would have ruled Great Britain, the Pilgrim Fathers would have been butchered as heretics, with the consequences that follow from that for the Commonwealth and the world.

Q: I have some doubts regarding marriage. Is marrying a girl who is older than the man, right or wrong according to the word of God? I have asked various believers and pastors, and have received mixed opinions. One reason that people don’t agree with it is the biological reason. But apart from that, is it really wrong in the sight of God, or is it something that is not according to the will of God? Samuel
Little Women in God’s Hand: These women have found something far more exciting than romance. They don’t fret over wrinkles and grey hair, because they have the Perfect Man, and He makes them more beautiful each day.

Q: I was wondering if we are conscious after death or is ‘soul sleep’ more likely true; in Luke 16:22 I notice the beggar was ‘carried’ by the angels. What do you believe? Cathy
A: I believe what God the Holy Ghost has written for us in the Holy Bible; That God created man in His image, an eternal being (Gen. 1:26-27,2:7), that mankind broke trust with Almighty God, thereby forfeiting our birthrights as rulers of this earthly creation (Gen. Ch.3).
Concerning consciousness after death, I believe God meant exactly what He said, and what He’s written for us, it is no mystery what happens after we die physically.

Q: Is Halloween a celebration of Satan’s birthday?
A: No, the Devil is a created spiritual being, he has never been born of woman himself, so cannot have a birthday. (Is. 14:12-15, Ez. 28:15-17, Lk. 10:18, Jude 6, Rev. 12:3-9.)

Q: Paul in 1 Co. 3:1-2 wrote that he fed babes in Christ with milk and not meat. Heb. 5:12 also speaks of strong meat. What is this meat that Christians should eat?
A: Wonderful question!
“Meat” here means solid food, not only animal flesh.
The Holy Ghost uses milk and meat as figures to describe the basic and the deeper teachings of Christ: The Word of God. Heb. 5:12-14 KJV;
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Q: If a believer sins repeatedly, but quickly repents, does it have any effect on them, or does God’s forgiveness nullify it?
A: That’s easy to answer, because every believer has suffered the consequences of personal sin. Ask your Christian friends!

Q: I would like to know if genetically modified (GM) food is against God or not? I refer to those foods made from organisms that have been given specific traits through genetic engineering, unlike plant and animal food organisms developed through conventional selective breeding. Samuel
A: Both the GM concept and GM products are evil, and condemned by God’s Word.

Part I of II Part II
Satan ensnares millions with the religious lie that water can ‘wash away your sins’.
The Holy Bible teaches that there’s only one way to wash away your sins, and it is not with water.

Perhaps you saw this before me, because, as a Christian, I don’t follow the media, and certainly not the demonic propaganda that passes for “news” in America, Europe, and the UK. It’s merely social conditioning disguised as information and entertainment. See why Christians should Ditch TV and Radio.

Q: Does God hate homosexuals?
A: No, of course not, He hates the sin of homosexuality.
God has proved His love for sinners, including all the sexually immoral, by dying to release them from bondage to the compulsions controlling them.

Q: I have just read God’s Word on Homosexuality and would like to say that being a homosexual is not a person’s choice. It is how we are made. Like my Dad is right-handed, but I’m left-handed. I didn’t choose to be left-handed, that’s just how I was born.
So if God is going to call me a sinner, just because of how I was made, I think I’ll forget God altogether. James

Q: I’ve grown up in a Baptist home and have always been taught that homosexuality is wrong. But lately I’ve been thinking about it, because my best friend (who I’ve been trying to lead to the Lord for years) has recently told me that she is bisexual.
As I’ve pondered it more and more, I’ve come to the tear-jerking question: What kind of God would limit love, or how people love each other? Dani
A: You were taught correctly, homosexuality is a sinful perversion repeatedly condemned by Almighty God. Lev. 18:22,29, Lev. 20:13, Deu. 23:17, Rom. 1:18,24,26-28, 1 Co. 6:9-10, Rev. Chs. 21 and 22 KJV

Q: I’d be interested in hearing your comments on David Attenborough’s response to Christians complaining about his Life on Earth TV-series-evolution-propaganda, instead of crediting Almighty God for Creation
A: Thank you for your question.
Devout Atheists such as Richard Dawkins, and wavering Atheist-Agnostic Sir David Attenborough, are self-condemned having zero interest in objective Truth.

Hinduism teaches that Almighty God the Creator is unreachable, unknowable, and without personality.
The Holy Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ is Almighty God in the Flesh, who said ‘I am the light of the world.‘
Which is true?
