NO MATTER HOW MUCH I APPLY I CAN'T FIND A JOB EVEN THOUGH I HAVE EXPERIENCE AND AM WELL-QUALIFIED. WHAT CAN I DO? IS IT OKAY FOR A CHRISTIAN TO MARRY SOMEONE WHO IS A JEHOVAH'S WITNESS? Read Transcript


- Time for some questions.- Let's go for it.

- Are you ready?

Okay Pat.

This first one is from Nichole who says,

I am currently marriedand have been married

for a few years now.

Everything was fine in the beginning

but then my husband startedbecoming very abusive

mentally and emotionally.

I had lost my job in thebeginning of our relationship

because of him and now I'mtrying to find a way out.

I know what I want to doso I can have an income

to support myself but nomatter how much I apply,

I can't find a job eventhough I have experience

and am well qualified.

What can I do?

- There's a real shortage ofworkers in our country today.

I don't understand whyyou can't find a job.

What you need to do is target the skill.

Find an industry, find a businessthat is looking for people

and see what it is they're looking for.

If you need to, callthe personnel officer,

the human resources officer,of that particular company,

and say, "what kindaworker are you looking for?

"And how can I train?"

And then there are all sorts of things

you can learn at home.

You could get online educationand you could get stuff

and I think that would be very important.

You have an abusive relationship.

That's another whole matter.

And if it's as bad as you say,

you might need some legalcounsel on top of it.

You asking how do you get a job,

that's how you do it, all right.

- This is Jane who says,

my husband and I have beenseparated for four years

due to my infidelity.

I have continued to pray forrestoration but he is angry

and bitter and refuses.

He threatened divorce all the time

but never carried through.

I recently discoveredhe was dating someone,

so I filed for divorce.

I've been willing to givehim time to forgive me

but I draw the line with his dating.

He has abandoned me physicallybut not financially.

I have not dated or soughtcompanionship with anyone.

We've been married over 30years with three children

and I honestly believeGod's plan is restoration

and reconciliation.

I'm willing to forgive asI also need forgiveness.

Question, am I crazy, ishe crazy, are we crazy?

- I can't say you,'cause I don't know you.

I don't know what you're doing.

But that's a tragic situation.

But you've brought it on yourself.

You're the one thatcommitted the adultery.

And you're the one thatyou're asking your husband

to forgive you and he doesn'twanna do that right now.

I really don't know what to tell you.

A situation like that, you askthe question, are you crazy?

No you're not.

But I suggest you pray.

God's will is always restoration.

He says, I hate the wars,I hate quote, putting away.

He hates the breakup of families.

He wants us to have entire families

where we love each other.

That's what God's desire is.

And if you ask him, get on your face

and if you wanna confess what you've done,

say Lord I'm sorry, Idid it, it's my fault

and now I ask you to helpme to bring restoration

to my marriage and he'll do it, all right.

- Okay, this is Dee, who says,is it okay for a Christian

to marry someone whois a Jehovah's Witness?

- The bible says don't beunequally yoked with unbelievers

and I think you getinvolved with something

that is, essentially cultish

and you're a born again Christian

and you will be utterly miserable.

If you're a woman, you haveto submit to your husband

and your husband will bebringing you these doctrines

that you feel abhor.

The answer is don't do it, all right?

- Deborah wants to knowwill all the Christians

who have already died be inthe 1000 year reign of peace?

- Well they lived andreigned for 1000 years.

I mean, that's kind of a.

A lot of those numbers in the bible

are just expressions ofa long period of time.

But of course, at the resurrection,

when Jesus comes back to Earth again,

we will live and reign withhim forever and ever and ever.

That's what you have.

So the people who havedied, people who are alive,

and those who are dead will not,

those who are alive will notgo ahead of those who died.

They will all go to bewith him in a new kingdom,

in a new heaven and anew Earth, all right.

- Tatsuya wants to know, doesthe bible say you must be

baptized in order to be saved.

And can you receive the HolySpirit before you're baptized?

- The Apostle Paul said, lookI didn't baptize, I was sent

by the Lord to preach the gospel.

And yes I did baptize this one.

And yeah I remember baptizing this one

but his job was to preach the gospel.

If baptism was necessary for salvation

then the Apostle Paul would've said,

I have go and baptize him.

But at the same time, it isyour bread with him in baptism

and you're raised in unison life

and I think it's animportant act of obedience

when you have found the Lord.

Find Peace with God
