The Bible Line - November 4, 2014

A caller wanted Pastor Carl to expound on something he said in his message on Sunday that had a profound effect on this caller...that was that when people try to deny that Jesus was the Messiah and God, the best argument is the resurrection. Such a simple statement but so powerful that many have been converted by this evidence.

Sandy, Beaufort, SC - Many people are talking about the young woman with brain cancer who decided to end her life before putting her family and herself through anymore suffering.  She was fighting for that choice for everyone and wants that to be continued after her death (which has happened). How do you respond to that.  I know from my faith that it is wrong and that time of death is in Gods timing but many have asked me...

When mediums give a reading and they get the information right, who is giving the information to them?

Does God answer the prayers of unsaved people?

Aden, Albany, GA - Can a Christian lose their salvation? Think the answer is 'no' based on plain reading of John 10:26-30 and Heb 6:4-6? But, I am interested in what you think and scripture you cite to support such a position?

What is the biblical position on bearing arms?

A fairly new Christian is having difficulty surrendering control of his life.

Rick, Hilton Head, SC - Would like to have any and as many verses of scripture that show that the unborn as well as children (before the age of accountability) which only God knows, will spend eternity in heaven with all other true believers. 

Abigail,   Do you believe that Jesus had any siblings? This morning I was reading in the book of James and was wondering if James was the brother of Jesus. What is your opinion on this? Also did Jesus have any sisters? I understand that some believe he had no siblings and it seems that some of his half–brothers had siblings but no sisters are mentioned.
