What Do You Think About the Concept of a Body-Soul Split?

article - Randy Alcorn

I believe this is a subject of immense importance to our understanding of Scripture.

What Does Scripture Say About False Teachers and the Teaching Ministry of the Holy Spirit?

article - Randy Alcorn, Warren Wiersbe

Since Christ is the judge and king, very likely he is the member of the Godhead that OT saints would stand before.

If the New Earth is all the best of the old earth and more, then we should expect it to contain animals.

Will Time No Longer Exist in Heaven?

article - Randy Alcorn

Whether or not Heaven operates outside the scope of earth’s time sequence, clearly the inhabitants of Heaven track with events happening in time (Rev. 2-3).

Will There Be Marriage in Heaven?

article - Randy Alcorn

In Heaven there will be one marriage, not many. That marriage will be what earthly marriage symbolized and pointed to, the marriage of Christ to his bride. So we will all be married—but to Christ.

Deception: Will There Be a Sequel?

So, depending on the response to Deception (because I’ll find out whether readers like Ollie), Lord willing, there may well be one or more other Ollie stories to come.

Has Christianity Made Up Its Own Meaning of Fornication to Mean Sex Before Marriage?

The Bible in its entirety is clear on sexuality. Words have meaning in context.

Will There Be Space and Time in the Eternal Heaven?

article - Randy Alcorn

Notice that the New Jerusalem, which was in Heaven, will come down out of Heaven from God. Where does it go? To the New Earth. From that time on, “the dwelling of God” will be with redeemed mankind on Earth.
