(Q): What
are some reasons why you believe Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah?
(A): The primary reason
why I believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah is because the Scripture
record compelled me to it. I was reading
and studying Moses and the Prophets, and what they had to say about the Messiah
in a most critical way, but eventually I had to concede that this was the
truth, and that I was responsible for what I did with the truth.
(Q): If someone asked, “how can I know GOD and live
in a relationship with Him?” What would you say to them?
(A): I would say the way to know GOD is to know His
word. That is the primary and essential
way of knowing GOD– to know Him in the Scriptures. Moses, the Prophets, the Writings, and the
New Covenant Scriptures. That is the
source of all our knowledge of GOD, and besides that there is no other source.
(Q): Can you tell us about Heaven and Hell? What are they like? Are they real places or are they just
metaphors?
(A): Heaven and Hell are described in Scripture as
definitely real places. Where they are
we are not told, except that Heaven is above and Hell is beneath. Hell is described as the absence of GOD;
Heaven is described as the presence of GOD, and of course the benefits or the
demerits are the drawbacks that apply to either. |
