  • Why Didn’t God Want to Save Me? | Ask Dr. Betters

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I feel like God never wanted to save me. Despite my prayers and efforts to connect with Him, I experienced rejection and despair. I was told that my righteousness was in vain, and I constantly felt abandoned in my spiritual struggles. It seems cruel that God would create me only to separate me from Him eternally. If He could intervene in my life for other matters, why not for my soul? I don’t understand why He chose to treat me this way."

  • Why Would God Let Me Stay So Lonely? | Ask Dr. Betters

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I am very lonely these days without a husband and children who are very busy with their own lives to visit. My old friends are no more, leaving me alone all the time. I have prayed that God would bring someone into my life to have someone to talk with and hang out with on occasion, not necessarily a life companion, just a friend, but he has not answered me. Why? If we were created to have fellowship with others, why would he not bring someone into my life to help fill that lonely void inside my heart?"

  • Is My Son Truly Saved? Looking Into the Soul | Ask Dr. Betters

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Dr. Betters, I am a born-again Christian (I believe you remember me), and I raised my children as such, and they made a profession of faith around 8 years of age. Now, at 42, he has embraced science, UFO, and other such worldly answers while searching for something to believe in. He vacillates between the two. After listening to him and showing him the fallacy of his judgment, I asked him clearly, "Whom do you choose?" After evading and modifying the question, I return to the question, "Whom do you choose this day?" I asked my pastor (when my son was in his teens), "As much as anyone can look into the soul of another, do you believe my son is saved?" His answer was "yes." Help me settle my heart for my son."

  • Why Is the Book of Enoch Not in the Bible? | Biblical Canon Explained

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Why is the Book of Enoch not considered a true book from God? Did Jesus mention the book of Enoch in Mathew 22: 29-30? If the book of Enoch is not true, then how did Jude refer to Enoch's Prophecy in Jude chapter 1:14-15?"

  • Admission Compared to the Rewards in Heaven?

    In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "I have been studying Heaven and trying to understand admission versus the rewards in Heaven. A preacher/teacher explained that Heaven is like going to a football game. Our ticket - Jesus gets us inside the stadium. Our life - deeds - our fruit determines where we sit. On the 50-yard line or in the nosebleed section in the end zone. Is this simple analogy valid? Thanks for all you do."
