Dr. John Whitcomb is our guest for another installment of Ask Dr. John. Question: Did the angels fall before the creation of earth and man? Could people choose to sin again in eternity future? Question: What is your view on Jonah? Did he literally die inside the fish?
Question: Please explain the difference between Matt.27:44 and Luke 23:39-43. Why does there seem to be a discrepancy?  How should we respond to unbelievers when they use things like this to try to disprove the Bible? Question: Please explain Matthew 27:52-53. Were these people resurrected physically like Lazarus, or were they spirits that appeared to people? Did they continue to live for a while, like Lazarus, and then die again?
Question: Please clarify the relationship of James, Jesus' half-brother, to our Lord. How could James be raised with Jesus and not know who He truly was? Question: Could the rapture of the church take place today? Question: Will Christians be on earth during the 70th week of Daniel? Question: How can we best present the Scriptures to people who are hurting? Question: Did God create man, animals and plants using the exact same methods (Gen. 2:7, 9, 19)? Quesiton: My father has always believed in UFO's. Can you give me any Biblical evidence against life on other planets to help me when I witness to him?  He is elderly and is turning from faith in God and toward New Age beliefs because they align more with his desire for there to be life in other worlds.
