Will God Judge All People Who Have Ever Lived, and If So, How Can He Hold Them Accountable If They’ve Never Heard His Word?

Why Does the Bible Say That We Should “Fear God”?
As always, it is vital for us to define our terms. Given that 2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind,” and that virtually every angel who ever showed up immediately said, “FEAR NOT!” and that Jesus himself often said the same thing, we …
Who Really Wrote the Bible— God or Regular People?
Remember that words have meanings. About 40 men “wrote” what we find in Scripture today, but GOD is the one “Author” of His Word.

Who Is The Devil, and Is He Real?
The being that God calls the “Great Dragon,” “the Serpent,” “the Devil,” and “Satan” (Rev. 12:9, 20:2) is one of the spirit beings known as “angels” (messengers) that He created before He created mankind (Job 38:6 and 7).
