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"

Will I Be Happy if My Family is Not in Heaven?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, ""My question for Muslims Christians, and Jews is this: if being in heaven means you are eternally happy that means it must be perfect but how will I be happy if for example, my whole family didn’t get into heaven but I did even if they weren’t evil they simply just were non-believers? Also, how is it fair that someone can live their whole life putting others before them and living life the way ‘god’ would want them to accept the fact that they didn’t believe in their creator makes them doomed to hell whereas an evil person who has repented and then says, for example, goes out after repenting and gets hit by a car meaning they have no chance to ever go back to sinning could still go to heaven?"

Is There An Origin of Satan?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "As I'm catching up on episodes this one seems like a perfect time to ask this question. I'd been watching a sermon series by a local pastor. He said there's not 1 passage that satan led a rebellion in Heaven before the earth was created. There is no origin of satan in the Bible. He references Rev 12:5-12. This sounds like the story I feel I grew up with, warring in the Heavens, satan defeated & banished, etc. But he says Revelation is a story of the future. Vs 5 shows this occurred after Jesus came to earth, not before the creation of the earth. This has upset me for days now. Is there an origin of satan, how was he in the garden to first temp Adam & Eve? Thank you for your consideration on this topic."

Is Living Alone a Sin?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hi Dr. Betters, I have a question lately I have become very worried, as in Proverbs chapter 18 verse 1 it says The one who lives alone is self-indulgent, showing contempt for all who have sound judgment. I live alone Dr. Betters I don't have many friends family etc I work and have hobbies etc but I am a bit socially awkward, I find it difficult speaking interacting with people sometimes so I stay home often. So am I sinning according to this proverb have I understood this proverb correctly??? Thanks for all your work Dr. Betters”

How Big is Heaven?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "It’s 8 billion people on earth and 3 billion in China. Is that enough space for us in heaven? Makes me wonder so many humans on earth and everyone has a different view of God. My question can 8 billion people fit into heaven? The more people on earth the more I question God’s existence.”

Death Bed Confessions

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "My Husband and I never made it to our second wedding anniversary. Our marriage was troubled, I gave our relationship everything I had to give but something wasn't right. My husband became very angry and rarely wanted any part of Intimacy. I felt sad, hurt, and jealous, and he began to openly stare and lust after teenagers, I stayed the course but on 11-24-21 he died after a 2-month hospital stay, we didn't have much communication between us during this time. We both had covid and I wasn't allowed to visit until the morning he was vented. I was in complete shock several months after his death. He was always very secretive about his phone and laptop but after having the laptop password removed. I had a huge shock, porn, file after file of the most disgusting subjects I could ever imagine. I even found sex Videos of him and his ex-wife inviting others into their marriage. I feel so broken he seemed so sincere that he loved me and wanted our marriage to work. I guess my question is if he repented on his death bed will he still go to heaven? I'm certain he would have likely continued his secret life had he survived but doesn't God know the difference between repentance as opposed to fear? If you could please give me some solid biblical answers I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!"
