Q: Can Satan read our minds and know what we're thinking? I know he can "enter" people, as he entered Judas. But I don't equate this with knowing our thoughts. Also, when Christ was tempted, he quoted Scripture aloud to Satan, right? He didn't just "think" the Scriptures! What is our church's stance on this? Q: Why does the Missouri Synod believe the three persons of the Trinity are "co-equal and co-eternal, one God"?
Q: Recently, both my sister and father have died (separately). While I truly believe that Jesus died for our sins, those who accept Him as their personal Savior, I have been troubled as to where my sister and father are now. Are they asleep until the end of the world? Are their bodies asleep, but their souls with God? Or, are they in Heaven with God now?
