The Bible Line - February 01, 2023

Christopher C., Raleigh, NC - Hi Dr. Broggi. I've been listening to your sermons online for years now and very much appreciate your preaching and teaching. Here's my question: If there is a pre-Tribulation Rapture and God's true Church is to be spared by the judgments we read about in Revelation, wouldn't it be "unfair" (for lack of a better word) for those who come to faith after the Rapture to have to face such horrors? After all, wouldn't they have gone into the Tribulation period simply because they had never heard the Gospel before and hadn't had the chance to accept Christ? Thank you in advance for answering.

Kathy, Hilton Head Island, SC - I am a Christian. I am married and now getting a divorce, the covenant is broken.
I have asked God to forgive me for my infidelity. If I continue to see my affair partner am I still sinning? At what point does my affair relationship become a healthy relationship? I want to do what is right.

Casey, Mount Shasta, CA - First, thank you for answering my last question so thoroughly. I am 1/2 way through your course on finances God's way and 1/4 of the way through the book you recommended. My question today is: How would you answer someone really criticizing Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac? This person is saying that they cannot follow a God who would even ask a father to do that. I tried explaining that is was a type of Christ's sacrifice being foreshadowed and that it was a one-time thing that God asked of any human for that specific reason. But my answer just didn't penetrate. Wondering if you have any advice on how I can better explain it to this person. Thank you so much.

Elaine, Middletown, NY - Many years ago I used to watch Joyce Myer. At that time I purchased her “Everyday Life Bible, Amplified Version. I now know what kind of gospel she preaches and I want no part whatsoever of it. My question to you is: How do I dispose of it? Because it has God’s words I don’t want to just throw it away, nor do I want to give it away to anyone because of her false teachings. What do you suggest I do?

Nick W., Beaufort, SC - Regarding selling used goods. If I purchase a product, for example costing me $1000 new, and sell it a few years or months later for $500, is that considered something I should tithe on? I'm fine doing it because sometimes that can be part of my motive in the first place, but i often wonder about this. With online sellers such as eBay etc now issuing 1099s for selling goods on the internet etc, it raises this question. Apparently this present administration feels the need to tax a citizen for private sales over $600, but 100% of anything I sell has been far below the purchase price. Thank you for your time and attention to what sounds like a menial concern. Nick
