1. Can you please give me some scripture references on if someone can or cannot lose their salvation?

2. In 1 Corinthians 8, it talks about the "strong" and the "weak" as groups within the church in Corinth. These groups had differences of opinion over various issues, but Paul specifically encouraged "the strong" group to put the needs of the "weak" above their own. My question is then: why is it so difficult for us to do this? Why can we in the church be so preoccupied with our group's views on various issues that we forget to love those around us?

3. I have a friend who doesn't believe in the "universal Church" because the word "ekklesia" means "the gathered ones" and therefore she states that the Church is only a local body. What we call the universal Church, she calls the family of God. Where can I turn to show her that the "family of God" can be called the universal Church?

4. I am wondering what you think about there being similarities between 1 Kings 1, where Adonijah is replacing David as king, and today's political climate. Is there a parallel?
