- And welcome back.

It's time for your questions

and some honest answers from Pat.

Let's start with David's.

He says, "I've read in the Bible

"that knowledge willincrease in the last days,

"but I've never read that humans

"will go to planets like Mars.

"From a biblicalperspective, will God allow

"such things to take place before

"or during the Tribulation?"

- The truth is God's allowing us

to do planetary exposure ratio right now.

The truth is Mars is an inhabitable rock.

The other planets are a bunch of rocks.

We are living in the most beautiful planet

of all the planets.

It is a special place as ahabitation for human beings,

and I don't know why anybodywould want to leave this

to go to some hunk ofrock out in the stars.

But they'll be some interplanetary,

but that's not theBible was talking about.

Knowledge would increase,

but it increasing exponentially.

The amount of knowledgethat's available to us

right now is nothing short of awesome.

Just the little thingsyou hold in your hand,

a little iPod, you can punch up stuff

and you can get a voluminous information.

And we have the ability tosend in a matter of seconds

all of the books that'll be stored

in the Library of Congressput down on the digital phone.

So without a question that knowledge

has exploded on this planet.

You don't have to go to any other planet.

All right.

- I remember in high schoolyou had to go to the library

and get encyclopedias to do a book report.

- [Pat] That's right.

- Now you don't have to do that anymore.

- All you do is punch it up.

- There it us.

You can solve your ownhealth crisis with Google.

All right.

Lucia says, "For Christiansto have any credibility

"in the non-Christian world,it is essential for Christians

"to stand against the slaughter in Syria.

"Even the Jews wereallowed to arm themselves

"against Haman, why not the Kurds?"

- Well look, I suggestedas a matter of fact

to one of our leaderswho will remain nameless

that we sell arms to the Kurds,

but here's what used to happen.

The Kurds were under thecontrol of the Iraqi government,

which in turn was controlled by Baghdad.

So if we would send weapons to Baghdad,

they would hold them.

They wouldn't send them on to the Kurds.

So I think absolutely weought to give the Kurds

all they need to defend themselves.

There's nothing wrong withthat and we should be done.

All right.

- All right.

Rhonda right in, "Recently,I've had a long discussion

"with my pastors about a problem going on

"in our church that Idisagree with them about.

"Everything seemed great,but then the pastor's wife

"started ignoring me!

"It's not like it wasn't noticeable

"since we are both on thepraise and worship team.

"This has gone on for several weeks,

"and I'm not sure what I need to do.

"I've supported mypastors for over 15 years

"and when I didn't agree with them.

"I don't want to leave the church

"because I feel like they are all family,

"and I love them.

"What should I do?"

- Well, you know what the Bible says,

"If you have ought against any,

"you go to your brotherand tell him the problem."

Why don't you go to that pastor's wife

and say, "Listen, we're onthe worship team together.

"How come you're not talking to me?

"And I really enjoy the fellowship."

Or maybe you could giveher a gift and say,

"Here's something that Ithought it to be special."

Find out something she would like

and then give it to her.

And then all of a suddenher heart will be open.

But what is it that's wrong with her?

You've got to find out.

You really need to put yourself

in the position of somebody else.

What is it that's her problem?

Have you offended her?

Is she dislike you for some reason?

Is there somebody talkingabout you to her with slander?

I mean, what's going on?

Go to the one and the spirit of (mumbles).

You yourself be tempted and say

and get it right withyour brother or sister.

That's what the Bible says.

You don't quite walk out.

Try to fix it.

You know.

- That's good word.

Very good.

All right.

Audi says, "Hello!

"I am a new landlord.

"We still have a mortgageon the rental property.

"We also cover the water, sewer

"and trash for the rental property.

"My question is, do I titheon the entire rental income

"or just on what wouldbe considered profit

"after expenses are covered?"

- You know I was once talkingto the Secretary of Treasury

about how we ought to account for taxes,

and Ronald Reagan thoughtthat tax deductions

should be allowed on thegross income, not the net.

As far as your tithe,I think your obligation

is to pay the tithe on theprofit, not on the gross.

For grocery stores forexample, tithe on their gross

they wouldn't have any money left

because their margins are so thin.

They have huge gross, but not much net.

So normally speaking I think the tithe

would be onto that, butthe government allows

you a tax deduction Ibelieve on the gross.

- That's good news to a lotof people watching right now.
