“Being Saved Is A Process”

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Mark asks, "Dr. Betters, first of all I want to thank you for your insightful videos. I am subscribed and watch them often. I have watched your video regarding the question if you can lose your salvation once you have committed your life to Jesus. I am saved and firmly believe that this is the only path to Heaven, as the Bible tells us. I have something that weighs heavily on my heart, though. My older sister and I were raised in a church going Christian family in the South. When she was about 13 years old, she was saved (maybe) and subsequently baptized. She became a nurse and lived in different areas of the country, including California. Since becoming an adult (we are both in our 60's now), she has developed her version of God that is not based on anything but her logic or philosophy, certainly not on the Bible. (To be fair, when I was in my 20's, I had similar thoughts and backslid from my childhood beliefs. I have since reconfirmed what I believed as a child and have learned so much more about Jesus Christ and his significance to all of us). She believes that God is real but does not understand who Jesus really is. When discussing this with her, she can get very irritated and says that the Bible is just another book and Jesus was a good man. Heaven and Hell are not real places to her and I think that she thinks our souls will probably go to our own versions of Heaven. She has a good heart but I cannot seem to be able to get through to her without it becoming adversarial in nature. She has a somewhat negative view of Churches and does not know the fellowship that my wife and and enjoy from our church. I pray for Jesus to soften her heart and come to him before it is too late. I am troubled that she will not, and end up in the Hell that she does not believe exists. My SS teacher has a similar take that you had in the video. Was the person genuinely submitting to Christ when they thought they were saved, but do not live a Christian based life or believe in the Bible? Do you have any suggestions?"

“Forgiving Myself For An Abortion”

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Thank you Dr. Betters, I’ve had abortions and I asked for forgiveness and pleaded for mercy from the Most High and I know he forgave me.

What is the best advice for feeling this way?"

My Daughter Will Regret When I Die

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Connie writes "Dr. Betters I have a real problem with my daughter. She and I used to be close. My husband, her father passed away in Feb 2020. I’m 72 & she’s 50. She acts like she could care less if I’m alive or not! If I don’t agree with everything she says she jumps down my throat! I think she’s been to visit me 3 times since her daddy passed. She does work & I understand that she’s tired when she gets home. It has gone as high as 2 weeks before she calls. We did go on vacation together this past May but she was mad 3 out of the 4 days we were gone. It started the 2nd night at a restaurant when I asked her to put her phone down to look at the menu. She started yelling at me to never tell her to put her phone away. I had to get up & walk away because she was so embarrassing. I have prayed each night that God would soften her heart. I write all this because when my mom passed away I had so much guilt thinking of things I should’ve done differently. My daughter is my only child and I’m really not sure if she’d miss me when I go!"

Does God love me? Am I God's child? Are my prayers going near God?"

“Will Different Doctrines All Be Saved?”

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Daniel asks "Thank you, Dr. Betters. It is interesting to me how over the years I have come across several end-time teachings such as the rapture, the great tribulation, the antichrist etc. I had clung on to these teachings because they were also biblically backed. It appears to me that many spirit-filled Christians interpret the end times differently. Is it God's will that some people may be taught different doctrines yet still all get saved by virtue of their firm faith in Christ and the grace that the Lord grants us?"

Does God Care About Sports?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Tom asks ""Hi Dr. betters I have an extremely strange question which would have been better private but I will ask your advice it would help a lot. So I noticed in the previous videos you mentioned you played Golf, well I have played all my life I have spent hours on upon hours playing I tried to turn pro it didn't work out, etc but my problem is I was always much better than my results showed as you know golf is a mental game as well physically but my mind would torture me self doubt anger tension all creep in. I was told I need to trust my game more now this is where my question is does Jesus or god have any bearing in sports or golf etc because some days players get them lucky breaks or a player is holing every putt he sees., does god control anything to do with this or is a sport not important to god, etc he would not be worried about a game of golf? It’s just when I play sometimes I feel like the devil holds me back because I have a lot of self-doubts. I know you and many others would say this is not important in life but it’s been a life’s work for me to get to where I am so it means something to me personally to improve to where I know I can be. So how would you stay in the present one shot at a time think positive etc from a biblical standpoint? And is the sport of any interest to God can he control the outcome? Over the years we have seen some unbelievable things in all sports. I would be interested to hear your point of view. Thanks, Tom"

The Problem With "Ye Are Gods"

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Sarasan asks "The human intellect, however sharp, will fail to find answers to the mystery of why God created this world or the purpose behind its creation !! You say Lord Jesus came on earth to redeem us, but here also the question arises is that did all the population at the time of Lord Jesus redeemed? Was Judas Iscariot, who was one among the twelve disciples of Lord Jesus redeemed? Did apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke, Thomas, and others like Bartholomew, Andrew, James, Matthias Paul redeemed? Salvation can only be attained only when you realize that "ye are gods "."

Why Do We Send Missionaries out?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, Why are Christians supposed to evangelize or missionaries go into countries over the centuries get killed trying to spread the gospel of Jesus if God already has people chosen already then they don’t have to agree to accept salvation a bit confused with this. I realize God knows who will accept Him as Lord and Saviour because He knows us from birth to death already.
