The Bible Line - March 15, 2022

Drew N., Lynchburg, VA - My question for you is more of a hypothetical: If the opportunity for a child, who's been in and out of orphanages, arises where he/she could be adopted by a same-sex couple, would it be better for them to be adopted or stay in the orphanage system? I think it would be better for them to stay in the orphanage, but I would love to hear your perspective and the biblical references contributing to it.

Paul L., Bluffton, SC - I have a question on the Jewish Feasts. Can you clarify this for me? In Matthew 26:17… it states “On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread” The apostles ask Jesus where He wants them to make preparations for the Passover meal. Isn’t Passover over on the 1st day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread? Is there another translation available for this verse? If so, can you share that with me?

Elizabeth G., Beaufort, SC - I understand that the tribulation is for the salvation of the Jewish nation. I trust your knowledge and  judgment, and want to know how you came to the conclusion that “birth pangs” only happen during the 7 yr tribulation. 
Can you please point me to scripture that leads you to believe that they only occur only during that specific period?

Alberto, Savannah, GA - Why are there so many "Christians" accusing teachers and pastors in other churches as being "wolves in sheep's clothing?"

Nancy - In 2012 Jonathan Kahn wrote the book "The Harbinger." There seems to be a lot of false teaching in this book. When the book came out Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries was promoting the book. Now she no longer is in favor of it. Why did she originally promote the book?

Don - Should one be buried or cremated.

Linda M., Windham, ME - I have a question about the coming of the Holy Spirit in the upper room. How did you get the number of 120 people that received the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost? I thought it was only the 12 apostles. I teach Good News Club Bible lessons every Wednesday night, and my next lesson is Acts, chapter 2. I always listen to your series before I teach each unit to learn more details to enrich my lessons. Thank you very much!
