Sample Q&A – May 2015

June 2nd, 2015
SAMPLE Q&A FROM MAY: Question: Is it wrong to decline the service of a deacon if one aspires the office of an overseer instead? Answered by: Bill Stewart, who has been a volunteer with us since June 2003. Answer: Thank you for your question. 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent . . .

Question on Elijah, Enoch, and glorified bodies

June 1st, 2015

Also did Enoch and Elijah receive glorified bodies? They were taken to heaven without dying (Genesis 5:24, 2 Kings 2:11) but I imagine that if they remained in their sinful bodies that their sin nature would still wage war against the Spirit while in heaven.... So did God either 1.) Remove them from their sinful bodies and make them go around as ‘souls’ . . .
