QUESTION: Would you provide evidence that Christ used the Greek
language? Was Greek the only language He knew? What language did
Jesus use in Matthew 4:17 and Luke 2:46-49?
ANSWER: Jesus while on this earth undoubtedly spoke most often in His native
tongue. The language used most commonly in Palestine at that time was a
mixture of Hebrew, Chaldaic, and Syriac, called Syro-Chaldaic or Aramaic. This
is evidenced further by use of phrases in this language by the inspired writers in
Mark 7:34 and Matthew 27:46.
However, since the Bible is verbally (word for word) inspired (I Corinthians 2:13),
we can be assured that Christ spoke (Hebrews 1:2) through the Holy Spirit, giving the writers of the New Testament the exact Greek words that He wanted
them to use and record in the original manuscripts. In fact, in Matthew 16:18,
Christ is understood to be actually speaking in the Greek tongue as He uses a
play on the two Greek words Petros (Peter-masculine) and petra (rock-feminine),
showing that the church was not built upon Petros, but rather upon petra, i.e., the
confession that Peter had made in verse sixteen. The usage of the Greek
genders in this passage was critical to the understanding of the apostles as He
spoke directly to them and just as critical for us today. The Aramaic would not
have provided the necessary distinction!
Undoubtedly, Jesus, being God, can speak any language He so desires. In the
passages in question (Matthew 4:17 and Luke 1:46-49), Jesus, without doubt,
spoke in the language of His hearers (Palestinians) at the time of the speaking.
The words that He spoke through the Holy Spirit to the apostles, and which were
divinely recorded for you and me, were, with rare exception (e.g., Mark 7:34;
Matthew 27:46), in the Greek tongue!

QUESTION: Are there other messiahs today besides Christ?
ANSWER: No! “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
See also John 3:16; Ephesians 4:4-6; Hebrews 10:10. Those who claim to be
messiahs and apostles today do so without biblical support and are leading the
unlearned to destruction (Matthew 15:9-14).

QUESTION: Will the heavens and earth literally be destroyed at His Second
Coming? Will we literally meet Him in the air?
ANSWER: Yes! All of these things are to be taken literally! Note that in II Peter
three, where the destruction of the heavens and the earth is foretold, that Peter
compared it with what literally occurred when the earth was once destroyed by
water. Both are instances of literal destruction!
Those who obey and serve God faithfully in this life will literally meet the Lord in
the air at His Second Coming (I Thessalonians 4:13-18). There is no reason to
infer a symbolic interpretation of this passage!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
QUESTION: Why do many people say that Christ will be coming back after
2000 years?
ANSWER: Man has always been trying to predict the time of Christ’s second
coming. These predictions seem to increase at the close of each decade (every
ten-year period) and more especially at the turn of the century (every one
hundred years). It follows then at the conclusion of a thousand, or two thousand,
year period that such thinking would be even more common, since this time
would also include another decade and another century! Such predictions are
sinful, showing a complete disregard for God’s Word which clearly records the
words of Jesus, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

ANSWER: Jesus will literally return with the clouds of heaven! “And when He
had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud
received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven
as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel: which also said,
ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which
is taken up into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go
into heaven” (Acts 1:9-11). “Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall
see Him . . .” (Revelation 1:7).

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
QUESTION: Were parables used by Christ to make matters clear or to
leave His audiences with a question?
ANSWER: The use of parables was a method of teaching by which Jesus, the
Master Teacher, illustrated and clarified spiritual truths from a comparison of
physical things or common experience. Some in His audiences, desiring to be
His disciples, would diligently search out and accept these spiritual truths. To
these the teachings were understandable and clear. Others did not have the will
to search out and accept the truths being taught. Therefore, they would neither
see nor understand the parable (Luke 8:10). Jesus said, “if any man willeth to do
His will, he shall know of the doctrine” (John 7:17)!

Was Jesus a white-skinned man?
ANSWER: The exact tone of Jesus’ skin is neither certain or known. However,
being a Semitic Jew from the area of Palestine, it would appear likely that He
exhibited the physical characteristics of that people, i.e., olive-skinned.

QUESTION: Why did Christ rise on the third day?
ANSWER: It was in fulfillment of His prophecy in Matthew 12:40, that as Jonah
was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so would He be three days
and three nights in the heart of the earth. Undoubtedly, there is a relationship
between His resurrection on the third day (the first day of the week-Luke 24:1)
and the fact that His disciples throughout all the ages were to worship on the
same day of the week!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
QUESTION: Why did Moses and Elijah appear with Christ at the
transfiguration?
ANSWER: The purpose of the transfiguration is very significant to us today!
Moses represented the “law” and Elijah represented the “prophets.” When God
said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him”
(Matthew 17:5), He was saying that, under the New Testament dispensation, we
are not to hear and obey Moses and Elijah (the Old Testament, i.e., the law and
the prophets), but, rather, we are to hear and obey Jesus Christ, God’s beloved
Son! The Old Testament (represented by Moses and Elijah) would be fulfilled
with the death of Christ and taken out of the way (Colossians 2:14).

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
QUESTION: Why was the transfiguration not a strange thing to Christ?
ANSWER: Because He was God (John 1:1) it would not be a strange thing,
since He was very familiar with miracles (John 11:47; John 12:37). Not only this,
but He, being eternal (Micah 5:2; John 8:58) as God, was very familiar with
Moses and Elijah, before and after their deaths. And, certainly, it would not be

QUESTION: Why was the transfiguration not a strange thing to Christ?
ANSWER: Because He was God (John 1:1) it would not be a strange thing,
since He was very familiar with miracles (John 11:47; John 12:37). Not only this,
but He, being eternal (Micah 5:2; John 8:58) as God, was very familiar with
Moses and Elijah, before and after their deaths. And, certainly, it would not be
strange for the Son to hear His Father’s words!

QUESTION: What things did the disciples not understand about Jesus?
ANSWER: There were many things that, at the first, they did not understand.
They did not understand when He spoke of His death (Luke 9:43-45; Luke 18:31-
34); when He spoke of the Father (John 8:27); when He spoke in parables (John
10:6); nor when He spoke of the establishment of His spiritual kingdom, the
church (Luke 18:20-37; Acts 1:6-7). They would not understand or remember these things fully until Jesus was glorified (John 12:16), that is, until He was
resurrected and enthroned at the right hand of God. The Holy Spirit, who would
guide them into all truth (John 16:13) and bring all things to their remembrance
(John 14:26) was not promised or could be given to them until after Jesus was
glorified (John 7:39). After this was accomplished, the Holy Spirit was given to
the twelve in a great way in Acts 2:1-4, after which they understood and
remembered all things “whatsoever I have said unto you” (John 14:26; John
15:26; John 16:13).

QUESTION: Where was Jesus residing during the forty days before He
went to heaven?
ANSWER: During the period of His public ministry, Jesus did not enjoy a
residing place as such. He said in Matthew 8:20, “the foxes have holes, and the
birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.”
There is no reason to think that in the forty days after His resurrection it was any
different. He did “shew Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them (the apostles) forty days, and speaking of the things
pertaining to the kingdom of God.” Paul tells us in I Corinthians 15:5-8 of some of
Christ’s appearances, being “seen of above five-hundred brethren at once.”
However, we have no account of a residing place.

QUESTION: Jesus was not a sinner. Why was He baptized?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
QUESTION: Jesus was not a sinner. Why was He baptized?
ANSWER: When Jesus came to the Jordan river to be baptized (Matthew 3),
John at the first refused to baptize Him saying, “I have need to be baptized of
thee, and comest thou to me?” What John implied by this was, ‘You (Jesus) are
without sin and, therefore, do not need to be baptized for the remission of sins,
but, I am, indeed, a sinner and have need to be baptized of thee!’ Jesus did not
argue with the truth of John’s statement. In fact, He agreed with it in saying,
“Suffer (permit) it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.”
Jesus knew the design and purpose of John’s baptism (Luke 3:3), and He
approved of it, but by saying “Permit it to be so now,” He is telling John that they,
in this one case, must make an exception to this purpose, because He was
without sin. Nonetheless, Christ insisted that He be baptized in order to “fulfill all
righteousness.” In other words, God commanded all men everywhere to be
baptized and because Christ was, at that time, in the flesh (as a man), in order to
satisfy the will of the Father, He, too, needed to be baptized in order to fulfill His
will, or all righteousness!
Some people today who reject the scriptural teaching of baptism “for the
remission of sins,” (Acts 2:38) say, that since Jesus was not baptized for this
purpose, neither do they have to be baptized “for the remission of sins.” They,
too, want to be baptized (as Christ was) to “fulfill all righteousness.” This could be
the case, if they were (as Christ was) sinless, or without sin. But it is the case
that they are not without sin, for Paul said in Romans 3:23 that, “all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God. The logical and scriptural conclusion is that
since “all men have sinned,” they (all men) cannot be baptized (as Christ was)
solely to fulfill all righteousness, but must be baptized for the express scriptural
purpose of “remission of sins,” which, in man’s case, results in the fulfillment of
righteousness, or God’s will. Christ was the only one not to be baptized “for the
remission of sins,” simply because He did no sin (I Peter 2:22). There are no
other exceptions, because all other men have sinned! Every man must,
therefore, be baptized “for the remission of sins” in order to be saved (Acts 2:38;
Mark 16:15-16)!

way is sinful! Those who do so are to be accursed (Galatians 1:6-9)! Anything
outside of God’s Word, even if it be at the direction of today’s Pastors, Priests,
Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals, and Popes, is nothing but the doctrines and
commandments of fallible men, and when obeyed will result in sin through vain
and empty worship. Such organizations are to be rooted up in the last day!

QUESTION: Was Jesus in the grave for three days and three nights?
ANSWER: Yes, as the Jews reckoned time! Today, three days and three nights
means seventy-two hours. This was not necessarily true in the first century. The
Jews often spoke in round numbers, taking a part for the whole! Christ’s body
was in the earth part of the day Friday, which the Jews reckoned as a whole day;
that is, a day and a night (First). His body was in the earth all day Saturday (the
Sabbath), a day and a night (Second). It was in the earth part of the day Sunday,
which the Jews reckoned as a whole day; that is a night and a day (Third). Thus,
according to the reckoning of that time, Jesus’ body was in the heart of the earth
three days and three nights!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
QUESTION: Where was Jesus’ spirit while His body was in the grave?
ANSWER: He was in Paradise. “And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
today shalt thou be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). We note that after He had
arisen, He appeared to Mary and said, “Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended
to my Father” (John 20:17). Clearly then, He was not in heaven during the three
days. Neither was He in the place of eternal torment. The Greek word “hades” in
the King James Version is most often translated as “hell” and very often does not
refer to the place of eternal torment. For example, Acts 2:27” In reference to
Jesus, the passage says, “Because thou will not leave my soul in “hell” (Hades) .
. .” So with consideration to each of these passages, we learn that Jesus was in
Paradise or Hades!
Hades is the place of departed spirits. The righteous, upon death, go to a place
in Hades called Paradise or Abraham’s bosom (Luke 16:22). The unrighteous go
to a different place in Hades; a place of torments (Luke 16:19-31). In II Peter 2:4,
this place of torments is called Hell. The Greek word for Hell in this passage is
Tartarus. Both the spirits of the righteous and the unrighteous dead will remain in
the Hadean world (in either Paradise or Tartarus) to await the resurrection and
final Judgement. After Judgment, the righteous will go to Heaven and the unrighteous will go to Hell, the place of eternal punishment (Matthew 25:46). The
Greek word translated Hell that designates the final place of the wicked is
Gehenna!

QUESTION: Why couldn’t Jesus have destroyed the disease of sin that has
plagued our spiritual lives?
ANSWER: Jesus is God (John 1:1) and is, therefore, all-powerful! He does not,
however, exercise His power according to man’s timetable. When the father of
sin (Satan) is finally destroyed at the end of all things (Revelation 20:10), then sin
too, will have been destroyed. The coming of that day will be determined only by
the God of heaven (Matthew 24:36). God created each of us as free moral
agents with the choice of serving Him or serving sin (Romans 6:16). He
temporarily allows sin to exist so that you and I may prove our love to Him by the
proper exercise of the choice He has given us. The fact of the existence of sin in
this life does not mean that it will or should plague our lives! We can overcome it
by destroying the “body of sin” in our scriptural obedience to Him (Romans 6:1-
18).

QUESTION: Why did Jesus die?
ANSWER: Jesus came into this world to save sinners (I Timothy 1:15; John
1:29). Though “He knew no sin, He was made to be sin for us, that we might be
made the righteousness of God in Him” (II Corinthians 5:21). The blood of
animals could not take away our sin (Hebrews 10:4), so Christ became the only
perfect sacrifice, by which we could be sanctified (Hebrews 10:10-12) through
His blood, which was shed for many for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:28).
Because of our sin (which God hates), we deserved the prescribed penalty of
death and eternal separation from God (Isaiah 59:1-2). Either we had to pay the
penalty for our sins or a perfect, sinless sacrifice had to be found to pay the penalty for us. Paul tells us (Romans 5:8-9) that God demonstrated His love
toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then,
being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.”
Christ paid the penalty for you and me in His death (I John 2:2).

Sorry I Diden't finish ansering the Question
QUESTION: A man said that if Christ was God He would have known when
He was going to return (Matthew 24:36). Is Christ God? If God is the Father
and Christ is the Son, who is the Mother?
ANSWER: Yes! Christ is God! (John 1:1; John 5:18; John 20:28; Philippians 2:5-
6). It is sometimes difficult for man, largely because of false teaching, to accept
the fact of three personalities in one God or one Godhead! The scriptures reveal
quite forcefully that there is only one God (Isaiah 44:6). However, with equal
force, this one God reveals Himself to us in scripture as God the Father
(Ephesians 4:6), God the Son (Matthew 1:23), and God the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3-
4)! These three separate and distinct personalities make up the Godhead or God
(Matthew 28:19; Acts 17:29; Colossians 2:9)! Each of these personalities, being
all-present, all-knowing, and all-powerful, possesses all the attributes of Deity.
They are coequal and coeternal! They are individually and collectively, God!
We learn from the Bible that “God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis
1:1), but it was not the Father alone who participated in the creation. In Genesis
1:26, “God said, Let us make man in our own image, after our likeness.” To
whom was God speaking? Undoubtedly, to the other two personalities in the
Godhead! We find in Genesis 1:2 that the Holy Spirit was present at the creation
and in Colossians 1:16-17, we find that the Son was also present. They were not
only there, but were actively involved with the Father in the creation process!
Undeniably then, there is only “one” God or Godhead (Isaiah 42:8; 43:10; 45:21),
made up of three distinct personalities (Matthew 3:16; 28:19; II Corinthians13:14).
It is very difficult for physical man to accept the biblical concept of the Godhead,
simply because he tries to understand it from an earthly or physical viewpoint. It
cannot be done! It is for this reason that atheists, unbelievers, and skeptics
continually reject the miracles of the Bible! The result of this viewpoint is selfdefeating,
because when man tries to force the spiritual things of God into his
own physical limitations, he dethrones God in his own mind to the human level.
As long as one fails to comprehend the fact of an enormous difference between
physical man and spiritual Deity, he will never be able to accept the truths of the
Bible necessary to his salvation. All men everywhere need always to contemplate
and understand the following: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are
your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”
(Isaiah 55:8-9).
The fact of Jesus not knowing (when He spoke the words in Matthew 24:36) of
the time of His Second Coming does not, in any way, disprove His Deity. The
statement that “He would have known, had He been God” implies that He wanted
to know and the Father wouldn’t tell Him. This is foolishness! Deity (Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost) is all-knowing. This does not necessarily mean that each of
them knows everything all the time. It means that each of them can know
whatever they want to know whenever they want to know it. At this particular
time, the Father only possessed that specific knowledge. When Christ ascended
back to the Father (Daniel 7:13-14; Matthew 28:18-20), He was given a kingdom,
dominion, glory, and all authority. It may be the case that He at that time, or since
that time, has opted to know the time of His Second Coming. We cannot know!
Whether He has decided to know it should not be of great importance to us.
What is important is that we be ready to meet Him when He does come!
The words “Father” and “Son” are not to be understood in the physical sense; nor
are we to infer that Christ had a mother because the first person in the Godhead
is referred to as His “Father!” The words “Father” and “Son” are used solely to
describe the functional and spiritual relationship that exists between the first and
second persons of the Godhead. Jesus Christ, as God, is eternal, without
beginning and without end (Micah 5:2; Hebrews 7:1-3).
He was going to return (Matthew 24:36). Is Christ God? If God is the Father
and Christ is the Son, who is the Mother?
ANSWER: Yes! Christ is God! (John 1:1; John 5:18; John 20:28; Philippians 2:5-
6). It is sometimes difficult for man, largely because of false teaching, to accept

QUESTION: In Genesis 1:27, God created man in His own image. Then in
John 4:24, we see that God is a spirit. Now, what kind of man did God
create, spiritual or bodily man? Are we really like God?
ANSWER: God created the physical body and the spirit of man. “And the Lord
God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life, and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). Man is a living soul
(the total being) only when the body and the spirit are joined together. When a
body exists without the spirit, there is death, not life (James 2:26). Clearly, since
God is a spirit, it must then follow that the spirit of man was created in His image!
We have physical bodies. God does not. Therefore, the spirit of man is in His
image, but the total man is not! Faithful Christians will not be like Him in the
fullest sense until Christ comes again. “Beloved, now we are the sons of God,
and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall
appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is” (I John 3:2).

QUESTION: Can those who sincerely want to know God find Him?
ANSWER: In Revelation 22:17, we read that whosoever will may come! In
Hebrews 11:6, it is stated that, “he who cometh to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.” Without this faith,
however, the writer says, “it is impossible to please Him.” The faith that pleases
God comes through hearing His Word (Romans 10:17). Therefore, if people
sincerely want to know God and prayerfully search for Him, they can find Him,
but only in His Word (Matthew 7:24-27; John 12:48). He cannot be found in the
religions, books, doctrines, and commandments of men (Matthew 15:9).

birthright he also sold the accompanying blessing. The blessing was then justly
given to Jacob to whom the birthright had been sold! God does no wrong (Job

end, because the God we are to imitate is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34;
Galatians 3:28). If any would be like God, he or she must reject racism in all its
forms!

end, because the God we are to imitate is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34;
Galatians 3:28). If any would be like God, he or she must reject racism in all its
forms!

QUESTION: Why doesn’t God provide food for His people today?
ANSWER: God will do His part, if we do our part! Paul tells us in I Thessalonians 4:11 to “study to be quiet, and do your own business, and to work with your own hands.” In II Thessalonians 3:10, “For even when we were with you we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” When manfell in the beginning, God ordained from that time forward that “In the sweat of thy face shall thou eat bread” (Genesis 3:19). If we do our part according to God’s will, while seeking first the kingdom of heaven and His righteousness, the necessities of life will be added to us (Matthew 6:25-33). See also Psalms 37:25.

QUESTION: Why does God not immediately end this world with all its sin
and rebellion?
ANSWER: God will accomplish it according to His timetable (I Peter 3:1-8). The
answer as to “why” He has not yet done it, is found in II peter 3:9: “The Lord is
not slack (tardy) concerning His promises, as some men count slackness
(tardiness), but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but
that all should come to repentance.”
