Should Christians Report Abuse Even If Forgiveness Is Given? | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode, Dr. Betters, in response to "Will I Know My Abuser in Heaven?", answers the question, "I feel that abusers get away with their actions both on Earth and in Heaven. As a Christian, I know I need to forgive my abuser, but where is the justice for those of us left scarred by the abuse? I believe not all sins are equal. Christians should speak up and report abuse—spiritual forgiveness doesn’t eliminate legal consequences."

Is My Son Truly Saved? Looking Into the Soul | Ask Dr. Betters

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "…At 42, my son has embraced science, UFO, and other such worldly answers while searching for something to believe in. He vacillates between the two. After listening to him and showing him the fallacy of his judgment, I asked him clearly, "Whom do you choose?" After evading and modifying the question, I return to the question, "Whom do you choose this day?" I asked my pastor (when my son was in his teens), "As much as anyone can look into the soul of another, do you believe my son is saved?" His answer was "yes." Help me settle my heart for my son."

Praying For The Safety Of My Child

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "If you have a passion for a certain prayer to be answered, would it be safe to say the Holy Spirit has given you that passion? I have been praying for the safety of my 2-year-old son and trying to get him completely away from the other parent. Lots of witchcraft and huge spiritual warfare. Very dire situation."

"God Is Allowing Demons To Ruin My Life"

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Does God punishes people with demons? Because I’ve been very confused lately and suffering greatly with theology and the Bible and who God is and I also believe I have demons and am in need of deliverance. However, I have cried out to God to help me but he doesn’t. I believe God is using demons to punish me. It’s so bad that I can’t even pray or read the Bible in peace. I feel there is something really evil and strong in my spirit. But God is allowing them to torment me to punish me. I know I sin relentlessly day after day and it’s overwhelming but I just can’t feel peace or rest. I have tried coming to Christ and being saved but I don’t believe what I did was effective. Either I have yet to be saved, or God didn’t choose me for salvation. I wasn’t predestined. I’m suffering a great deal and especially feeling and seeing that God/Jesus doesn’t love me"

Will We Be Judged For Our Sins Twice?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I believe once you sincerely repent of your sins, God forgives us and they are never brought up again (unless we bring them up). If everyone will be judged for all of our sins someday, does this mean we will be judged and have to answer for all the sins we have already asked to be forgiven of? If we have to answer to God for our "forgiven" sins, that is not having my sins be forgotten and never brought up again. Could you clear this up for me? Thanks and God bless."

“Evil Ones That Claim To Be Saved?”

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Wonderful as always, Dr. Betters. I have a question: What about people who actually believed in Christ . . . some of the Lutherans in Nazi Germany during WW2, for example. What about people who also believed in Christ who have committed despicable acts . . . even up to their deaths? Even the devil believes in God and Christ. Some peoples' hearts never change, but they still believe up until the end that they are a true child of God. Thanks for all you do and teach."
