Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This is a general FAQ for answering some of the usual questions you may want to ask. I am trying to answer them with the best of my knowledge in truth.

Anti-Christ Bible Prophecy Baptism General Israel Religion Rapture Salvation

RELIGION
Q. This is 21st century and the internet age, do you want us to believe this?
Even in this internet age, people try to find God and try to be religious in different ways, is that not so? So the thought about God is still there though in not all. If you hardly bother what you do, then what can I say? If you care about a God, definitely you should think. Man is so busy building his own feeble plans, and where has he reached? The world will be surprised soon.

Q. Are you not a religious fanatic?
I do not think so. I just point out the truth for others to see. I am not interested in promoting or demoting any religion. I am interested in seeing people turn to true God through Christ. I do not believe in any religion.

Q. Are you not narrow minded to say only true Christians will be saved? And accuse other religions? And what about Christian religions?
- Refer above.
- It is not a question of being open minded or narrow minded. The truth is before you, you are free to accept it or reject it. God has given every one free will. If I tell you what is edible and what is poison, will you say I am narrow minded. Same applies here.
- After knowing the truth, I can not in any way endorse as right the wrong things. Hence I say about them openly and the reason is that you may realise it. I am sorry.
- Nominal Christians often do not know about true Christianity.

Q. Why hurt others and their beliefs?
I am not hurting you because I want to. You get hurt because you think I am speaking against you. No, I just tell you the truth. Besides if this hurts you, so as to motivate you to realise the truth then your pain will become joy. And I too am happy for you.

Q. What religion is the true religion?
None. All religions were created by man or modified later as per his convenience. There was a group to whom God chose to dictate their religion and life, that was the Jews. But since the coming of Christ who brought the direct relationship to God to all men (individuals) Jewish religion has no significance any more, as a way to near God, it is passed away. Now you should go to God through Christ. However Jews still remain to be God's people besides true Christians.

Q. What is true then?
The path to God is open to every individual through Christ. You can become members of his body on earth. You can also join true Christians in worshipping God in truth and spirit, besides your personal relationship God.

Q. How can I know what you say is the truth?
Well, this is not something you can check out with just anybody or anywhere. Few things you can do:
- Pray to the one true God to reveal to you. Do not pray to all the deities you know. They may not be happy at all to lose a devotee.
- Keep your mind open and learn about it.
- Go and talk to people who have accepted Christ from different religions like Hindu, Christians like Catholic, Jacobite, Muslims, Buddhists and so on. They will confirm to you.
- Look at the lives of those who accepted Christ and see the difference.

Q. Some Christian sects also tell me about Christ, so who is right?
Every one tries to add members to his beliefs and say they are right. You have to be prudent enough to validate. You already have the information.

BIBLE PROPHECY Read Bible Page first

Q. What is the basis of all prophecies? and how reliable are they?
The prophecies are based on the Bible. The prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled so far accurately. Besides Bible is God's unfailing word.

Q. Are you not creating panic and fear by these prophecies?
No. They are there for every one to read and know. The wise will act accordingly. Would you prefer to be informed about something or otherwise?

Q. Are you not preaching Doomsday?
What ever you call it, there is going to be not just a doomsday but many. Blessed are those who escape it.

Q. I am depressed and I feel frightened.
This was never written to frighten any one. If you are safe under God you do not need fear anything. Man is never secure himself or in himself. Be secure under God's protection.

Q. When will these 'things' begin?
No event is pending to trigger it off except the rapture perhaps. And rapture is not pending based on any event. The tribulation period of seven years can begin any day. It is not my aim to get in to details about what is going to happen. The aim is every one's salvation.

ANTI-CHRIST Read Future Events first

Q. They say Christ is coming soon, so I can believe in him when he comes, why hurry?
If you are going to believe the one who comes next as Christ, well you got the wrong person. That is Anti-Christ who comes pretending to be Christ. Do not be fooled with what he does. He will do many wonders and works, as if he is God.

You must realise first that there is negative forces at work. 'All that glitters is not gold', same way every miracle and supernatural event is not from God but could be the ploy of Satan. It is a pity that when there is a small miracle, every one falls flat. This means every one is going to blindly believe in anti-Christ. Besides this he will have lot of things up his sleeve to deceive every one, he has supernatural powers. So you cannot guarantee that you will not believe in him. Besides you might be forced to believe in him.

Q. So when will Christ come?
Christ will come at the end of the tribulation, at the end of 7 years, at the time of the might war of Armageddon. He will land on Mount Olives with his heavenly army of angels and saints.

Q. Can I believe in him then?
If you are alive! And if you are probably you were on the side of the anti-Christ, very slim chance!

Q. So if I believe in Christ now, am I safe?
It depends when you take the decision. If you are truly in Christ, you should be gone up in the rapture team.

Q. Can I believe in Jesus during the tribulation?
You risk death for that. The situation is tough. You will have to use escapism, God help you. The other choice is that you stand up for your belief and risk death. Your salvation is guaranteed if you die for Christ in Christ.

SALVATION Read Salvation and Jesus the Messiah  pages first.

Q. Can any one be saved?
Yes. The salvation and saving grace is available free to all.  It is up to you to accept it and claim it.

Q. How can I be saved or have Salvation?
The Bible says 'whoever beliefs in his heart that Jesus Christ is the Lord and confirms with his mouth, shall be saved'. To explain it would be that first you have to believe in Jesus, his redemption work, repent from your sins, fully believe that Jesus have died for you and has given you eternal life, confirm it with your mouth, accept him as your personal Saviour and obey Lord's commandment in the waters of Baptism.

Q. Can I be saved and continue in my present religion / beliefs?
Is it possible? If you believe in Jesus and his work and that he is your Saviour, how can you go back to your old beliefs, rituals and customs.  Then your declaration in Jesus was not true.
And God always wants his own to be separated from the others. What it means is how can you go and offer prayers with those who worship pagan Gods. If you do that you are violating God's commandments and Jesus command to worship God in truth and spirit.

Q. What do I get if I am saved?
This is not 'you-get-what-you-paid-for' brother. Yet if you are really saved, you are an heir to the glory of God as his son through Jesus Christ. Eternal life - that goes without saying. That should be good enough for you, is it not?

Q. I more or less believe you, but I want to take the proper decision after verifying for myself, what is your opinion?
I suggest the same. Do not jump in to anything. Go study, learn, pray and when you are sure do it. But do not take a year, for your own sake and make it your number one priority.

Q. You keep saying 'in Christ' everywhere, what is it?
Well all the nice things we have is through Christ and in him. When you accept Christ you become God's son in Christ. Only those who accepted Christ as his Saviour and is saved is in Christ.

Q. What are the practical steps?
There is no foolery involved, for you can not fool God. So you will have to be sincere.
- Start with a prayer to Jesus Christ earnestly.
- Go and get a Bible. Start reading the Gospel of Luke, Acts of the Apostles, Letter to the Romans.
- Keep Bible as your base on which you will prove things right or wrong. And that too is not easy, because it is a vast book.
- use Internet, it is an excellent source of information. But do not accept blindly anything you read.
- If you feel OK so far, locate true Christians in your own locality. Watch out for their life. Know everyone by their fruits, not by their words.

Q. Who is Jesus? I want to know more about him.
Read Jesus the Messiah.

Q. I am past all these steps, now what do I do?
Please contact me by email and I will tell you what to do.

ISRAEL

Q. What's the importance of Israel?
Israel has a very significant role in God's plans. Since the time of Noah and Abraham God chose the nation of Israel to be the people through whom he would reveal his salvation to mankind. He chose Abraham and promised that he would bless the world through Abraham and that he would be the father of nations.

Q. What is the significance of Israel today, it seems God forgot them.
When Israel did not accept Jesus Christ, they ignored God and as a result they were scattered all over the world, but God brought them back again in 1950s. This event marked the beginning of the final fulfillment, that the Messiah would come soon. God will never forget Israel in fact during the end times it will be Israel who will be taking the centre stage. But they will suffer a lot too at the hands of anti-Christ.

Q. What is the next key event for Israel?
The next key event is an agreement that anti-Christ will enter in to with them for the rebuilding of the temple and offering of sacrifice. This event will also be very important in the sense that anti-Christ will be revealed, but Israel will probably accept him as their Messiah, the seven year tribulation will begin.

Q. What about those who hate Israel, the Arabs?
The Arabs and Israel fight for land, but in the end days there will be war between them. God says he will destroy those who oppose Israel. But finally Israel nation will be exalted, every nation will try to be their friends, for they will be the centre of world rule through Christ.
