(1) Do we have guardian angels? Psalms 91:10; Matt 18:10; Acts 12:15; Heb 1:14 (2) As parents, are we always held accountable for our children’s souls? When are our kids no longer considered “children”? (3) Going forward: Is it based on James 5:16? Are we supposed to go forward to confess specific sins in detail? Have always heard “public confession of public sin.” Is this based on scripture? Is it wrong if a Christian has never “gone forward,” but has only confessed sin to God and asked for forgiveness in private?

(2d) And practically, how should we talk about this with someone who really believes in demonic energy? I often hear that astrology, witchcraft, “ghost hunting”…etc… are demonic, but I’ve never been sure how to discuss that with people

May 2026

Question: So the devil lost when Jesus died. I also know he’s “on earth” and he will go to hell when it’s time. But how is he on earth? If the devil is the one who tempts everyone, is he constantly everywhere at once, like God is? Or is he more like the Holy Spirit, and he’s just floating around? And how does he tempt everyone at once when there’s so much evil happening at the same time? Also, you said that people aren’t evil when we choose sin. I get that the devil is the evil one, and he’s the one tempting us, but we still choose to sin, so wouldn’t that make us evil?

June 2026

(1) Do we have to go to church to believe in God? If they teach false information, do we go to hell? (2) Do we have to drink the fruit of the vine? Can we drink it any day (not just on Sundays)? (3) What happens if we go to church but were too young to be baptized and we die; do we get to go to heaven or hell? (4) If we die before being baptized but we go to church and believe in God, just were not allowed to be baptized because we’re too young, do we go to hell or heaven? (5a) Did the people in Matthew 7:21-23 have miraculous abilities? (5b) If miracles proved the gospel, and they weren’t fake, then how did they have those abilities? (5c) How could anyone discern which was actually from God? The text doesn’t say they were faking or lying. (5d) While the Bible condemns sorcery, it never says it isn’t real (like Saul’s trip to a sorceress). Does the Bible condemn sorcery because it was a lie or because it was power from darkness?
