This week's questions and timestamps:
0:-00 Introduction and greetings
2:00 Thanks for those who prayed for Pastor David and his wife's mission trip to Africa, and request of prayer for upcoming trip to Germany.
2:53 Lead question: Is it Biblically sound to say that just as God favored Abel’s offering over Cain’s that there is only ONE way to worship God and thus only one denomination or sect of Christianity is 'Correct'?
13:10 The common figure of 30-40,000 Christian denominations
14:38 The anniversary/birthday of this RU-vid channel!!
16:09 Which is the correct rendering of Psalm 22 verse 16 - Is it “They pierced my hands and my feet” or “Like a lion my hands and my feet”?
17:17 Did Origen corrupt the Septuagint (LXX)? Are there other ancient church fathers beside Jerome who independently decry the Septuagint?
19:35 Is it right to think that we are nothing to God? He gave His son for us, so that is confusing to me.
22:16 Why in Jeremiah 3 verse 7 it seems that God was expecting another attitude from Israel and He was surprised when they sinned if He is omniscient?
25:45 Where do the souls of both the saved and lost who die in the 1007 years between the Rapture and Judgment Day go awaiting eternity?
29:53 Does repent mean “to change one’s mind” or does it mean “turn from sin.”? Many I know say: In order to get saved, you have to Repent & Believe. And they describe repent as “to turn from sin.” Do you have to turn from sin & believe to be saved? Or just believe?
36:09 Is Zechariah 12 verse 10, 1 Thessalonians 4 verses 16-17 and Revelations 1:7 the same event (the Rapture and when Israel repents)? And is Mark 13:26-27 Christ's second coming with the saints (Millennial Reign) meant to restore Israel?
39:48 What does "in spirit and in truth" mean?
41:45 Even though the Word has many examples of Jesus being God the Son, why is it that Jesus never said I am God in those words?
44:04 Please explain the meaning of a transactional relationship with God. I heard about it as you expounded on Psalms 37 verse 4, and Biblical promises sound transactional. E.g., forgiveness in the Lord's prayer
47:47 Do we need to tell people to "turn from sin & believe"? Or do we expect them to first only believe and then turn from sin once they get saved / after they are saved? Because if you’re not saved yet, turning from sin would be done in your own strength, right?
51:35 Do Christian’s cremate?
52:45 What are basic or fundamental portions of scriptures to understand the anointing?
⚡️Lightning Round:
55:30 Do we know if Jesus' transfiguration happened on Mount Hermon or Mount Tabor?
55:55 Can you explain the difference between a simple "saving faith" vs. the "gift of faith"?
56:35 Seemingly Abel was the first to die: where did he go, and was he there alone?
57:11 Is it still the case that God will discipline/treat any sinner the way He treated Job, even after Jesus died for our sins?
58:17 In Revelation, who are the 24 elders in heaven? (Revelation 4 verse 4)
58:48 Where did purgatory come from?
59:40 Regarding 2 Thessalonians 2 verse 11 - Could we be witnessing the sending out (from God) of strong delusion into the world? Intelligent people believe the lies that are being put out there by the media.
1:00:20 After the Millennial will the population of humanity be set at a fixed number in all of eternity?
1:00:37 I listened to one of the top-class evangelicals teachers who said that, if a believer died from suicide, he/she will still go heaven, as they are protected by eternal security - could you please give your stance on this matter?
