Did God create evil?

Yes. He created evil for three reasons: to demonstrate his power, wrath, and mercy. All evil that is done is done by souls God has created and is meant by those souls for evil, but God uses their evil for the good of those who he has called to receive his mercy through his Son.

How do you get saved?

The Father gives you to the Son by his mercy and grace. You are drawn to the Son, abide in him and are indwelled by the Holy Spirit.

Can you lose your salvation?

Your name can be blotted out of the book of life. God ultimately knows who will be saved and who won't, but the book of life is a current record of everyone who is saved, and names are written in and blotted out as the status of people's salvation changes.

When will Jesus return?

Jesus will return after the events in Revelation described by the seals, trumpets, and vials. The seals, trumpets and vials are in chronological order. The seventh seal is composed of the events of the seven trumpets and the seventh trumpet is composed of the events of the seven vials.

What is the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

The Lord our God is one lord, with 3 manifestations, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with his own office, working together the same way distinct members of one body work together.

Does Old Testament law still apply to us?

We are no longer under the old covenant but the new. Jesus is our Lord, and we are bound by his commandments.

What is blaspheming the Holy Spirit?

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is what the Pharisees did when they attributed the miracles of Jesus to Satan.

When is the use of force appropriate?

Government force is ok. Government violence is not. The government should enforce the Royal Law which is love thy neighbor as thyself.

 ==What is the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?==
-The Father calls the Son God, and the Son calls the Father my God, and true God. The Son is also called the Word and was begotten of the Father before all creation. All things are of the Father by the Son, and the Son is the express image of the Father. The Father's name is in the Son giving him all the authority and power of the Father.
+The Lord our God is one lord, with 3 manifestations, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, each with his own office, working together the same way distinct members of one body work together.
-The names of the Son are Lord of Hosts, God of Hosts, Holy One of Israel, Angel of the Lord, and Redeemer. The names of the Father are Living God, and True God. Either the Father or the Son can be referred to by the names Lord, God, and Savior depending on the context.
-The Holy Spirit is possessed by the Father, proceeds from the Father, and is given by the Father to the Son. The Holy Spirit is a living spirit that can be grieved. Lying to the Holy Spirit is the same as lying to the Father. The Holy Spirit is also called the seven eyes of the Lamb, the seven lamps burning with fire, the seven spirits before the throne of God.
-The way in which Pharaoh gave Joseph all authority and power over Egypt is somewhat analogous to the way the Father has given his Son the Kingdom of Heaven.
 ==Does Old Testament law still apply to us?==
 We are no longer under the old covenant but the new. Jesus is our Lord, and we are bound by his commandments.
