ATP Email Aug 24: This question pertains to l Kings 17:14 and how it mentions, neither shall the curse of oil fail, until the day the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth. Since gasoline is found in many “substances” and with oil being a major contributor to the environmental damages, would you suggest this is the curse of oil?
ATP Email Aug 22: Quite sometime ago I was reading either Acts or Corinthians when I came across something the Apostle Paul said and couldn’t believe I had mentioned something almost exactly the same prior to that encounter. Have you ever heard of, or experienced a similar account?

Over the better part of the last few decades I have asked myself this question millions of times but right now I’m in a place I never imagined and it really makes no sense to me?
ATP Email Aug 9: Hi, How should a Christian kid or young adult prepare their hearts for heading back to school or college or university as the world has a lot of challenges. How can the young people best keep themselves in the word when they are at these places when heading back this fall?
ATP Email Aug 15: Hello Pastor Andrew, Terry. I once mentioned how I automatically would say Amen after reading Scripture. Now I find myself wanting to thank God for not just every meal I eat but every item on my plate. Are these characteristics common? God Bless.

ATP Question: God doesn't exist, if he did, there wouldn't be war, and there wouldn't be poverty! But is there? Oh yes! Open your eyes to reality! Quit living a lie! I used to believe once, I had a lot of faith, I prayed I went to church and I prayed he would make my grandfather better, who was also an extreme believer. And as people have said, “with faith you can move mountains,” that God you people believe in took my idol, my best friend, pretty well my life. He doesn't do anything and never will. Don't give me the same spiel I have been given by you bible thumpers for years, take the bible you have and smack yourself over the head with it… or do you have something to say to that?
ATP Call July 26: Is it possible to be saved but not enter the kingdom of heaven? Matthew 25:7 – the parable of the virgins? Were the virgins resurrected virgins?

ATP Email July 4: Hey pastor Andrew, I started a new book this weekend. It’s the first one I’ve read by Hal Lindsey called “the late great planet earth”. In chapter 3 he asks ‘will we learn?’ “Will we repeat history? Will we fail to take the prophets literally and seriously? Will we be indifferent? Will we allow those who claim to be religious leaders to explain these things away and not investigate for ourselves? There are many more predictions about the reigning Messiah who is YET TO COME than there were about the suffering Messiah. Will we fail to weigh these prophecies for ourselves, in spite of what others may say?” What do you think about these questions?

ATP Call June 28 Brody: Forgiveness – forgive 7 x 7 right? Would a Christian ever have need to cut someone off when they keep sinning?
ATP Email June 8: I read somewhere that the Beast whose fatal wound was healed by one of the 7 kings and is himself an eight and is about to come out of the pit and go to destruction. It says in Revelation 17 that they will marvel at the Beast who was and is not and is to come. I’m thinking that being dead when Revelation was written is a prerequisite to being the Beast AKA the Anti-Christ. Do you think that could be accurate?
ATP Question: I have had some very vivid dreams where I was casting a demon out of myself, repeating things like “In the name of Jesus, by the blood of Jesus…etc, I cast you out…etc.” I would then wake up with a very tight chest and sometimes wake to a loud noise coming from my mouth (at least that is what I am told by my spouse). Is it possible to cast out demons from oneself?
ATP Question: I have heard in a bunch of songs that God gives us more than we can take so we can become a stronger person and whatnot. But I've also heard people say God won't give you anything you can't handle so which is it?
