I recently read a commentary on Revelation 7:3 that gave two meanings for the “Seal of God.” It suggested that the sealing takes place by God either withdrawing believers from the earth in the rapture, or by him giving them special power to make it through the time of the great tribulation.... If this is the case, what is the purpose of sealing believers and leaving them here to endure the tribulation?

Dear Dr. Burton, in Matthew 19:16, a man comes to Jesus and asks "what good things must I do to have eternal life?" Jesus responded by telling him to keep the commandments.

Dear Dr. Burton, based on Romans 1:21-32, I was wondering if a person had a reprobate thought on rare occasions if this meant that he or she had a reprobate mind; or is having a reprobate mind more of a “yes” or a “no” issue? Verse 32 especially makes me wonder if a gray area exists.
