If the following appear in Scripture (in the original languages of course), answer true. If not, answer false.

What’s crucial is to read the text carefully. Wars and rumors of wars should not alarm God’s people. The end is still to come. Such portents do not herald the end!

The stricter judgment against teachers which James warns about may, at least in large part, have to do with negative consequences of the teachers' sins in this life.

If we knew who those people were who had so hardened their hearts that they had committed what Jesus calls blasphemy against the Spirit (Matt. 12:32) so that God gives them over to their depravity (Rom. 1:24, 26, 28), we could stop praying for them, knowing it was pointless.
