Guest: Dr. John Whitcomb joins us for another episode of Ask Dr. John. Question: Please help me understand Gen. 3:7 and Luke 24:31. In both of these passages it speaks of people whose "eyes were opened". What does it mean to have ones eyes opened? If they were not physically blind, how can their eyes be opened? Can we also have our eyes opened if we are followers of Christ? Question: How many people did God speak directly to or through in the Old and New Testaments? Question: My pastor teaches that the gift of prophecy in 1 Cor. 14:1 and following is not the same as teaching, though it is similar. I do not see any difference. What Scripture is there to support or disprove the view that they are different gifts? If they are different, what is the difference?" Question: How should believers approach those who claim to be Christians but clearly show no evidence of true faith? Should we pray for them and approach them with Scripture, or leave them alone? Question: Can a person who does not believe that the Bible is the final authority be truly saved? Question: At what age are children considered to be of the "age of reason"? What age is no longer considered "innocent"? Question: Will believers have the full knowledge of the Scriptures in heaven? Question: Will the majority of all people who have ever lived be saved or unsaved? Question: How did people find energy to serve God in the Old Testament without the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit? Topic: We take your calls.
