My goal is to help you on the road to thinking biblically about everything.
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Intro
1. 0:39 {Did Jesus Contradict Himself?} Why would Jesus instruct us to let our good works be seen by others (Matthew 5: 16) if He also instructed us to do our good works in secret (Matthew 6:1-4)? Am I misunderstanding something?
2. 12:19 {Do Some People Get More Grace?} Romans 5:2 says we stand on grace. In Acts 4: 33, it says great grace was upon them all. Does that mean some people have more grace? I’ve heard you say we don't get grace little by little.
3. 18:10 {If You’ve Forgotten a Promise to God} What do you do when you’ve made a promise to God and either forget the specifics of it or forget you’ve made it altogether?
4. 20:58 {Should We Fear Future Events?} What is a healthy way to look at the future with all the disasters in Revelation? I have trouble building up my life without fearing everything will change soon, for the worse.
5. 25:51 {Responding to Pro-Choice Thinking} How can we respond to someone who uses, “A creator has the right to do whatever they want with their own creation” as a pro-choice argument?
6. 30:54 {About “Holy Water” or “Blessed” Objects} A local street preacher uses holy water on the ground, which he says keeps demonic activity from disrupting his preaching. I haven't seen Scripture support this. Is it biblical?
7. 36:18 {About the Millennial Kingdom} If God is eternal and He knows everything from the beginning to the end, then why does He set up a 1000 year Millennium Kingdom? What are the reasons for this, biblically?
8. 42:18 {Perichoresis vs. Modalism} Can you explain the difference between the concepts of perichoresis and modalism? They seem to be very similar ideas on the surface.
9. 46:06 {About Bart Ehrman’s Teachings & Tactics} You have talked about Dr. Bart Ehrman (ex: your “Atheist Scholar Misleads Millions Of People” video). Does he also use these "techniques" on his professional peers?
10. 51:27 {Trusting God when He Seems Silent} What practical steps do you do to trust in the Lord? I frequently have difficulty trusting Him during difficult times, especially when He doesn’t seem to be answering prayer.
11. 59:20 {Were the Nazis Appointed by God?} Were the Nazis as a government authority "appointed by God" according to Romans 13?
12. 1:03:39 {Why did God Send Jacob to Egypt?} In Genesis 12: 10, Abraham goes to Egypt. That decision is considered by many as disobedience to God. If going to Egypt is related to a bad decision, why is it that later, God sent Jacob to Egypt?
13. 1:06:30 {Are We Dead to Sin, or Sold Under It?} Why does Paul say "...reckon ye yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God through Christ Jesus our Lord" in Romans 6: 11, yet in Romans 7: 14, he says, "...but I am carnal, sold under sin"?
14. 1:10:05 {Traditional Preferences over Biblical Theology?} I’m an ex-Catholic, but I’m getting pulled back in. I don’t know why, but I just like praying in Latin, the Rosary, praying to saints, and using scripted prayers because I don’t know how to pray on my own.
15. 1:18:15 {How to Understand the Bible} What is your general advice on understanding Bible verses that we don't understand?
16. 1:20:33 {Communion: How Frequent?} My dad thinks that the Lord's Supper should only be observed on Passover because when Jesus said "do this in remembrance of Me,” He meant Passover. Any evidence in Scripture for weekly communion?
17. 1:25:06 {How to Help Victims of Abuse} I'm a new youth leader and we have teenagers who are severely abused at home. What messages do we focus on to help them? And what else can we do to help?
18. 1:28:40 {Does God Command Murder?} What do you think of people that commit murder and then state, “God told me to do it”?
19. 1:32:20 {Corporate vs. Individual Election} What are your thoughts on the idea of corporate election, as opposed to individual election?
20. 1:35:22 {Is Jesus the Bible?} How should we biblically respond when someone says they believe Jesus IS the Torah or Jesus IS the Bible?
I take questions from the live chat, after the stream has begun. Start your question with "Q" and try to include one or two specific verse references if you have them. Due to the number of questions we get, I can't possibly answer them all, so I apologize if you send one in that doesn't get an answer. Doing the best I can. :)
Check back in a few hours for timestamps to each question.
