Admission Compared to the Rewards in Heaven?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I have been studying Heaven and trying to understand admission versus the rewards in Heaven. A preacher/teacher explained that Heaven is like going to a football game. Our ticket - Jesus gets us inside the stadium. Our life - deeds - our fruit determines where we sit. On the 50-yard line or in the nosebleed section in the end zone. Is this simple analogy valid? Thanks for all you do."

How Do I Minister To a Friend Who Has Lost a Loved One?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "A close family friend who is a pastor recently died suddenly and tragically and they have asked for privacy during their time of grieving. I have been pretty close to the family over the years so I am wondering if their request for privacy pertains to me. Should I go to their house? Call them? I am at a loss as I want to be there for them during this time but I also want to respect their privacy.”

Are Christians Supposed To Be Happy All The Time?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "What does "who for the joy set before him endured the cross mean from Hebrews 12?" I have heard Christians use this and other verses about joy to say we need to be happy all the time. But that is just not what I feel. It makes me not want to go to church when the theme always seems to be "be happy" even when life sucks.”

Call No Man Father?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hey brother, Lord's commandment says we call no man "Father" (ie. in the spiritual sense - Mat. 23:9) as opposed to Paul's words to the Corinthians (I Cor. 4:15) wherein he seems to assert himself as their "father" (in the spiritual sense.) How to view this supposed contradiction? Thank You for your ministry"

The Sea Will Be No More?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Revelation 21:1 speaks about a new heaven and a new earth, and the sea was no more. This has always puzzled me. I keep in mind Noah and the flood. And in Romans 8:22 where the earth groans from sin. The thought came to me as to why the 'sea will be no more.' Is it because the ocean is a reminder of man's sin and the penalty of the flood? My question is more of 'Biblical curiosity.' I do not fear the future for I know my Redeemer and He lives in me and I am SEALED, praise God. Thank you for your ministry, and keep on keeping on, God bless. Howard”

Does Predestination Negate Free Will?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Does predestination negate free will? I believe God is outside time so time to Him is not the same as the time to us. Why would God allow people to be born only to use them to populate hell? Maybe we are confusing predestination with God’s timelessness and His knowledge outside of His time."

Will You Lose Your Memory in Heaven?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "My question Dr. Betters is since we will not remember their sins or our own sins, Will we rennet each other, and all the good memories we had with one another on earth. Or will that all be obliterated from our memory???" with "Hi, Dr. betters, can you make a video on how to pray through the psalms? Do you literally read a whole psalm as a prayer that doesn't seem to make much sense or do you take parts of it? What is the best method"
