PRESENTATION
WHAT ARE Tricky Questions : They are double-meaning questions that seek to
compromise or provoke the person who answers, to expose them in an
uncomfortable situation...
THEY ARE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS: They are those that we consider cannot be
answered in any way, people ask about God, about the life of the death of
salvation, about the devil of images, about Tithes, in short, for everything there is
response in the light of the word.
Today we face all types of arguments and concepts regarding God and his word
and it is necessary to be trained and have basic command of Bible doctrines and
questions and answers to all audiences.
HOW IS IT DONE? The idea is that this small manual serves to be clear about
some issues and how to respond to difficult leading questions.
INTRODUCTION
Before going into details about this project, we believe a basic illustration of the
reasons we have for putting this copy in your hands is necessary.
WHAT IS EVANGELISM?
Every human being has violated divine norms and for this reason we have won the
consequences and are condemned to eternal punishment. The impossibility of man
in the face of the problem moved God to manifest himself in the flesh and offer his
life in our place, in order to open a path for us in which through faith and
obedience we can be saved. This plan is called GOSPEL.
THIS IS HOW THE GOSPEL IS DEFINED.
Etymologically: “good news that rejoices the heart of man”
Theologically: “pleasant proclamation of the redemptive activity of the Lord Jesus
on behalf of man”
The apostle Paul defines the gospel as: “the power of God for salvation to
everyone who believes” Romans 1:16 The Lord, the first preacher of the gospel in
the world, was the Lord Jesus Christ. Saint Mark 1:14 Evangelization has been
entrusted as a primary task to the church of all times.
I hope that this manual serves as a guide for evangelists, Pastors, leaders (of
REFAM) committed to the Lord to spread the message of salvation in the name of
Jesus.
In a kind of apologetics, the answers are supported by biblical quotes from the
RVR 1960 version of Casidoro and Reina Valera.
Many have complicated and cited certain information that is in the public domain,
which we put in your hands today hoping that it will be a great blessing. And may
many people know the true God and Eternal life, our Lord Jesus Christ; and that
the answers compiled here serve to clarify doctrinal doubts of those who need to
come out of the darkness and know the truths offered by the light of the word of
God.
INDICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S TIME TO DO IT
God is love and does not want people to go to hell (Ez.18:32; 1Tim 1:15;
2P.3:9) Hell is the destination that man chooses by despising God and his
gospel to live in the sin (Mt.7:13-14; Jn.3:18; Jn 19:3-6)
He who wants to do the will of GOD will know the truth: Jn.7:17; 10:27;
10:9; 3:20-21; 1Jn. 4:2-3, 6
No, these words are not found in the sacred scriptures. There is nothing we
can do to achieve salvation (Eph.2:8-9); Only the death of Christ could do
the complete work of eternal redemption (Heb.9:12; 1Jn.1:7; 1.Co. 15:3)
11.WHAT WAS THE “PROHIBITED FRUIT”, AN APPLE OR SEX?
The forbidden fruit was not Sex! Sex itself is not bad nor is it a sin.
However, sex can be misused and abused or put at the service of sinful
motivations, almost always outside of marriage. Note that even before man
sinned, God created Eve (ready for reproduction) for Adam. This is
obviously God made it so that man could “reproduce and fill the garden.” So
how could sex be the forbidden fruit? Without sex, how would they
reproduce?
The Bible does not describe the “fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil, much less identify it with an apple. What the Bible says is that it
was a fruit and that it looked good for eating, pleasing to the eyes and
desirable…” (Genesis 2:8-9, 16-17;3:6).
The fruit symbolizes disobedience... which is the reason for all sin. This
would include misusing sex, as well as any other type of sin.
12. WILL I HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE AFTER DEATH?
No. Pr. 9:17 and 29:1; 1 Cor. 6:9-11;Gal.5:19-21;Rev. 20:11-15;21:8 and
22:14,15.
13. WHEN WILL THE END OF THE WORLD BE?
You don't know if not GOD. Mt 24:36;Mr.13:32; 1 Pet.3:10;
We must always be prepared: Lk.21:34-36;Lk.12:40;1 Pd.3:11-12 “AND IN
THE WAY IT IS ESTABLISHED FOR MEN TO DIE ONLY ONCE, AND
AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT …HEBREWS 9:27”
138. HOW CAN JESUS BE THE SAVIOR, WHEN GOD THE FATHER SAID
IN IS.43:11, “BESIDES ME THERE IS NO ONE TO SAVE?”
Because “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself” 2Co. 5:19, Isa.34:4.
139. DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT JESUS WAS GOD WITH US?
Yeah. Matthew.1:23.
140. DOES THE BIBLE SAY THAT GOD SHED HIS BLOOD AND THAT
GOD GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US?
Yeah. Acts 20:28, 1John 3:16. God was able to do this because he carried with him
a human body.
141. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD RETURNED TO ALL HIS SAINTS
(ZECCHARIAH 14:5) AND THAT JESUS ALSO RETURNED TO ALL HIS
SAINTS (1THES.3:13) ARE TWO GOING TO RETURN?
No, only one returns, our great God and great savior, Jesus Christ. Tit.2:13,
“WAITING FOR THE BLESSED HOPE AND THE GLORIOUS
MANIFESTATION OF OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST”

199. DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT NOT ADDING OR REMOVING FROM
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES?
Yeah. Dt.4:2, Dt:12-32, Pr.30:5, Eccl.3:14, Rev.22:18-19.
200. IS IT TRUE THAT THE SOUL IS NOT ETERNAL AND THUS DOES
NOT HAVE EXISTENCE AFTER DEATH?
No. The passages given below teach that the soul (sometimes called “spirit”) does
continue to exist after death, is different from the physical body and does not die,
1Thes.5:23, Mt.10: 28, Rev.1: 9, 14,15, Rev.6:9, 2P.1:13-15, 2Co.5:1-10,
Phil.1:21-24, 2Co.4:18, 1Co.15:50, 1Co. 5:5, 1Co.2:11, Ps.20:9, 10. Ec.12:7,
Lk.23:43, Lk.16:10-31, Lk.23:46, Lk.24:36-39, He.12:23, Mt.22:31-32, 1P. 4:6.
201. IS IT TRUE THAT GOD IS SO GOOD THAT HE WILL NOT PUNISH
THE SINNER FOR ETERNITY?
Ro.11:22, speaks of the “kindness” and “severity” of God (severity certainly for
those who fell), Rom. 1:18 and 2:8, of his “going and anger” Heb.12: 29, of God
being a consuming fire. Heb.10:30 speaks of God's vengeance. The following
scriptures speak of the eternal punishment of the sinner.
Mt.25:41, Mt.25:46, Mr.9:43,45, Mr.9:44,47. 2Thes.1:9, “they will suffer the
penalty of eternal destruction.” Rev.20:10. “And they will be tormented day and
night forever and ever.
202. DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT HELL IS THE SAME AS THE TOMB?
No. In Mark 9:42 48 Christ describes hell saying that there “the fire is never
quenched and their worm does not die.” In Matthew 13:49,50;22:18 and 25:30 the
Lord says that in the place of punishment there is “weeping and gnashing of teeth”
the body buried in the tomb does not cry and there is no gnashing of teeth there. .
The body in the grave decomposes. Does nothing. But the unrepentant soul, if
tormented, cries and screams. Weeping and gnashing of teeth are figurative phrases
that describe the sinner's severe punishment in hell. He is not the sum of sufferings,
pains, sadness, trials and tribulations that we endure in this life. Hell is not the
grave either if it is not a spiritual place where sinners go who die in their sins. Ecl.
9:4; Ap. 21:8; 20:10-15
203. IS IT TRUE THAT ONLY 144,000 WILL GO TO HEAVEN AND THE
GREAT MULTITUDE WILL BE ON EARTH?
The Bible gives no support to this strange doctrine of a division among the saved.
All the saved have only one hope.
Eph. 4:4 says that: “Called in one hope.” According to 2 Tim. 4:9 The crown “is
for all who love the coming of Christ”
204. WILL THERE BE A SECOND CHANCE FOR THE SINNER?
No. Jn.5:29 says that all sinners will be resurrected to condemnation and that this
will happen when Christ returns. The Bible does not promise unrepentant men any
other opportunity to be saved if they die in sin. After death comes judgment (Heb.
9:27), not a second chance, and after the judgment the sinners will go to the place
of eternal punishment. Matthew 25:46, This doctrine of a second chance, in
addition to being false, is pernicious since it deceives sinners with vain hopes.
205. IS IT TRUE THAT THE KINGDOM WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1914?
In many biblical passages the terms “Kingdom” and “church” are synonymous.
Matthew 16: 16-18. The church, that is, the kingdom, was established 50 days after
the resurrection of Christ and only 10 days after his ascension. Mark 9:1 teaches
that the kingdom would come “with power” (the power of the holy spirit) during
the time of the apostles. According to Acts. 2:1-4, “the power” came upon the
apostles on the day of Pentecost and the kingdom was established that same day in
the year 33 AD. C., 1881 years before 1914. The “heavenly kingdom” consisting
of all the saved of all ages, was prepared “from the foundation of the earth” Mt.
25:34, thousands of years before 1914.
206. IS IT TRUE THAT ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF THE KINGDOM IS TO
FIGHT AGAINST THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE EARTH?
Christ said, according to Jn. 18:36, “my kingdom is not of this world; If my
kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight so that I would not be handed
over to the Jews; But my kingdom is not from here” Paul says in 2 Cor. 10: 3,4
“For although we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh; for the
weapons of our warfare are not channels, but are powerful in God for the
destruction of strongholds.” The heavenly kingdom is a kingdom, it is a kingdom
of peace, not of warfare. Revenge belongs to the lord. (Heb.10:30), not of those
who are members of the kingdom.
207. DO WE HAVE TO OBEY THE GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES?
Yeah. The Bible commands us to respect and obey the governments that exist. Ro.
13: 1-6. Let every person submit to the higher authorities... so whoever opposes the
authority, resists what is established by God... which is why it is necessary to be
subject to him... because for this you also pay taxes. 1 Pet.2:13,14; Mt. 22:21. The
Christian must pray for the government: 1 Tim. 2:1, 2; Tit. 3:1.
208. DID THE LORD JESUS COMMAND THE GOSPEL TO BE SOLD TO
THE INVOLVED?
