• What food would best describe the way you feel about last week? e.g. Honey, vinegar, lemon, ice cream, etc. Why?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Lemon, because I have been depressed.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     Vegetables, for it the diet that Jesus tell us ABOUT IN THE BIBLE
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     vinegar, I was stressed.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     Pizza - it was different from bite to bite.  Lots of good stuff, some very challenging stuff, quite the variety all in one week.  In the end more like oatmeal, as it left me feeling quite full.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     LEMON-CAUSE NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK  THE WAY IT SHOULD.EVERYTHING WENT BACKWARDS.
• In what ways did you ever feel intimidated or protected as a small child amidst big people?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Intimated, because in my family there was always fighting and bickering.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     TO ALWAYS MAKE FUN OF ME
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     My grandmother intimidated me.  My brother protected me.
  4. Linda, December 14, 2001
     I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT FAR BACK.
• In what ways might the rainbow and sun cheer you during a terrible storm?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     They show me that Jesus is always near.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SITE TO WATCH
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     The rain usually stops when there is a rainbow.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     The rainbow reminds me of God's promise.  It is His bow that He has given us to remind us that He loves us and will never destroy by flood again.  It reminds me of His mercy, love, and faithfulness.  Even among the worse of life's storms, God is there with His love and beauty.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     THAT GOD WOULD BE THERE WITH US.
• What "little scroll" was specifically closed until the time of the end?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     The Lamb's book of life
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     THE END PROPHECY
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     I'm not sure.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     The Book of Daniel - it's prophetic meaning was sealed until recently, the time of the end.  But now it lays open for our understanding.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     DANIEL SHUT UP THE WORDS AND SEAL THE BOOK.
• How do you handle delay?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Just by being patient.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     NOT VERY GOOD
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     By being patient.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     I try to do something constructive while I wait.  There is always much to do.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     NOT REAL GOOD SOMETIMES.
• What does eating a book mean?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     You are taking in the words and holding in your heart.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     THE JOY AND REJOICING OF MY HEART
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     To digest the words and take them to heart.  To understand and believe the words.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     He was to consume, digest, read, put the words into himself, just as we are to eat the Bread of Life daily.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     THE WORDS WERE FOUND,I DID EAT THEM:AND THY WORD WAS UNTO ME THE JOY AND REJOIVING OF MINE HEART:FOR I AM CALLED BY THY NAME,O LORD GOD OF HOSTS.
• When did you last "devour" a book?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     You are taking in the meaning.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     NEVER
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     I'm eating now.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     I have had almost all night feast on some writings at times.  I like to make a good meal of the Bible each day with a few snacks here and there to keep me going through the day.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     I DO NOT REMEMBER OF EVER DEVOURING A BOOK.
• Have you had a "sweet" experience that turned sour on you? What happened?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Yes when I was dating a man he went behind my back with another woman.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     YES LOTS OF TIMES
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Yes, it's a long story about a paint show horse.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     I have had situations that seemed to be taking wonderful shape, exciting expectation, and then they never happened, and the hope turned quite sour after knowing I was wrong.  The greater the expectation, the more sour the disappointment.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     I DO NOT REMEMBER.
• How do "measure" and "count" signify judgment to you?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     God is going to count and measure what you are doing for Him.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     IT IS THE PUNISHMENT GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Measuring and counting is checking exact account of what ever it is.  In this instance it is totaling up what our hearts have in them and the deeds we've performed here on earth.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     It is taking into account what has been used to do God's building project.  What has been done, what still needs to be done, are we up to specifications, and so forth.  Is the work done correctly for God or not?
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001

• Who are the two witnesses? How is Jesus identified?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     The angels, The creation of God
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITHNESS
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Jesus.  Identified by Amen and ruler of God's creation.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     The Old & New Witnesses (testamonies or testaments) of Jesus Christ.  The Bible is the witness of Jesus, through the cerimonial practices and stories pointing to God's love and Christ(old), and the life of Christ and His followers in the New Testament.  The Old & New Testaments witness of Jesus. Luke 24:27 "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was siad in ALL the Scriptures concerning Himself."
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     ELIJAH AND MOSES   THE CREATION OF GOD.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     moses  &
• What witnesses has He chosen to testify of Him?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     The Scriptures.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     THOSE WHO PROPHECY ABOUT JESUS
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     The old and new testiments.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     The Scriptures - The Bible.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES;FOR IN THEM YE THINK YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE:AND THEY ARETHEY,WHICH TESTIFY OF ME.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002

• Can tampering with God's Word result in plagues?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Yes.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     WILL ADD PLAGUES TO HIM
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Yes, plagues of false doctrine that leads people to destruction.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     Anyone who messes with God's word WILL suffer in the plagues. It is dangerous to mess even 1% with God's word, not only dangerous, but deadly.  As verse 6 mentions, the Word has the power to shut up the sky for no rain, the WORD mentions in Lev. 26:3,4; Dt 11:13,14; Dt 11:17; Dt 28:24 that if they did not follow God's commandments, there would be no rain, Elijah just called upon God's word in 1Kings 17:1 to be fulfilled and there was not rain.  The word was used to cause water to be blood in Egypt as Exodus records.  It is by God's Word that all the plagues took place and again can take place at the end.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     YES IT CAN BRING PLAGUES WHEN TAMPERING WITH GODS WORD.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     God will take away or add to according to the way the scriptures are added to or taken away from.
• According to Jesus, how would the Word finally witness?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     False witnesses.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     TO BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     By preaching the Gospel throughout the entire world.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     It will be a testimony to all nations around the whole world.\
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE WORLD FOR A WITNESS UNTO ALL NATIONS;AND THEN SHALL THE END COME.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     by the truth
• How is the Old and New Testament treated by a society characterized by sinful corruption (Sodom), religious corruption and atheism (Egypt), and spiritual corruption (Jerusalem)?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Ignorong the Ten Commandments, murder. lust. drinking.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     THEY ARE REJECTED
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     The truth is ignored or changed and sometimes both.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     It is often treated as just a book, or it is most often distorted to support false doctrines, taking a few select verses and building beliefs on them, instead of using all the verse on a subject from throughout the Bible to gain a full understanding of the Truth as GOD reveals it in His word.  It is not used as the ultimate source of Truth which it is.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     TO MUCH SIN GOING ON IN THE WORLD.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     Jerusalem just believes the Old testament Sodom would believe in sin and Egypt wouldn't.
• Why would there be so much excitement over the apparent defeat of God's Word?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     There is so much sin in this world.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     FOR NO ONE WILL BELIEVE HIS WORD
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Because they can continue sinning without guilt.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     God's Word points out where we fall short and how we need Jesus.  People who want to do evil do not want anything showing them their mistakes or errors.  When the conviction was removed they celebrated because they were not reminded of their evilness.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     BECAUSE NO ONE WILL BELIEVE HIS WORD.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     People like defeat
• How many things would be different in our society today if there were no Bibles or knowledge of God?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     There would be no Jesus who died for our sins.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     IT WOULD BE VERY VIOLENT
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     My goodness!  Dog eat dog.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     What little good that is left in our society would be gone.  Without Ultimate Truth, anything goes if it seems good at the time.  We would be back in Sodom again in a hurry, although we are approaching that already because we don't follow God's Word even though we have it.  Most of original laws are based on the Bible, without law we would act more like animals.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     A LOT OF THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT HAVE LAWS TO OBEY AND THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF SIN IN THE WORLD.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     everything terrible world
• Are you grateful that God keeps doing this? Why?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     YES,BECAUSE WE ARE GOING THERE SOON.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     YES IT TELLS ME HE IS COMING SOON
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Yes, because it would get pretty scarey if we didn't have heaven to look forward to.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     To remind us of His Truth and Love through all situations.  God is still in charge and in control of our lives when we turn ourselves over to Him.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     YES-BECAUSE THAT MEANS GOD HAS HIS HOME OPEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     so we will know.
• What part of the Lord's prayer is now answered?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Thy will be done.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     YOUR KINGSDOM DONE YOUR WILL BE DONE
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Both Thy kingdom come and Thy will be done.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in Heaven.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     THY KINGDOM COME,THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     God is still in heaven
• As John has seen world affairs and human actions, what reasons could he have had for thinking that God was not reigning?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     These things are coming to pass now.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     FOR ALL THE VIOLENT HE SAW IN THE FUTURE
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Because of all the evil sin.  This is totally against everything God is about.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     Because this world is so sinful and degraded, not showing love or compassion as God would have it.  As people give their lives over to Satan through sin, they give him control.  Only through Christ can we be free from sin and the bondage of it.  Things "look" out of control, but God still reigns.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     BECAUSE OF ALL THE SIN IN THE WORLD.BECAUSE OF ALL THE SIN IN THE WORLD.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002

• When does Jesus give His 'rewards?'
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     When He returns.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     WHEN JESUS COMES BACK
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     At His second comming.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     At the resurrection of the righteous when Jesus returns and the dead in Christ rise first, and those alive in a moment - His reward is with Him.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     my reward is with me and I will give as we see it fits
• When only in earth's history has the power to 'destroy the earth' come into the hands of humanity?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Now when sins reigns.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     THOSE AT WORLD
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001

• Is there anything about the Gospel that is still a mystery to you?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Yes when we are translated to heaven.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     NO NOT REALLY
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     Yes, but I get the big picture.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     God's amazing love is beyond my total comprehension, but I learn more each day of His Truth, Justice & Mercy.  The Everlasting Gospel is God's plan to save us through Jesus.
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     REVELATION-IT IS A HARD ONE FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND OR COMPREHEND.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     I think so but I can't think what just now.
• In what ways has God's Word witnessed to you about Jesus lately?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     When I am feeling depressed I remember that He is near.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     THAT HIS RETURN IS VERY SOON
  3. Sherril, August 6, 2001
     I think the fact that if you take the time to study the scripture it's pretty obvious that Jesus wants everyone who cares enough to spend a little time in His word to come with Him to heaven.  All it takes is to loose a little of your self reliance and look into His word.  Those who do usually give the rest of their selves up freely.
  4. Tamara, November 21,2001
     In every way.  Every story every chapter there is a part of God's plan revealed.  His patience, deep love, and control have been a great lesson in the last few days.  He has answered so many prayers in His perfect way, and always in perfect love.  He cares deeply about every aspect of my life, and has reminded me in so many little ways. 
  5. Linda, December 14, 2001
     THAT HE LOVES ME AND WANTS ME TO BE HIS CHILD.AND GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER AND HAVE A BETTER RELASHIP WITH HIM.
  6. Helen, June 15, 2002
     That He is definitely Love and kindness.  and fairness
• Can Jesus' kingdom be a reality in your life right now? Why?
  1. Donna, September 19, 2000
     Yes, by reading God's word, and letting Jesus into your heart.
  2. Roger, March 2, 2001
     YES THERE WILL BE A PLACE THERE FOR ME WHEN JESUS RETURN FOR US
  3. Helen, June 15, 2002
     yes, I am all by myself no one can say NO
