Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

1. 0:07 {Are Atheists Gullible?} Why do I say that atheists tend to be gullible?
2. 28:08 {Rapture: Do We Have a Choice?} Assuming a rapture, are we irresistibly taken, or is it a choice to leave with Him? I ask irrespective of Calvinistic irresistible grace. Luke 17:31-36 seems to indicate both.
3. 34:09 {The Multiple Beings of Polytheistic Religions} If God is one being and three persons (one “WHAT” and three “WHOs,” what would two beings of gods look like in false religions? How would those beings be differentiated in a way that the Trinity is not?
4. 40:00 {About Natural Selection} Regarding natural selection, I recently had a class on that topic in college and was a bit confused on how we, as Christians, should approach that topic with others.
5. 44:37 {No Persecution = No Godliness?} 2 Timothy 3:12 says, “All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” I’m not being persecuted. Does this mean I’m not living a godly life?
6. 49:56 {King Nebuchadnezzar – Saved?} I was wondering your thoughts on King Nebuchadnezzar. Do you think he was saved, based on Daniel 4?
7. 1:00:17 {Does Satan Always Need God’s Permission?} Does Satan have to come to God any time he messes with us? I have a friend using Job as proof that Satan needs permission to mess with us, too.
8. 1:06:17 {Jesus Calling Out for Elijah?} On the cross, why did the Jewish people think Jesus was calling out for Elijah (Matthew 27:47)?
9. 1:07:49 {Staying Encouraged in Today’s Culture} How do you stay encouraged in today’s culture? The culture is so discouraging. I sometimes feel like a failure because other Christians seem to “have it all together.” Also, how can we pray for you?
10. 1:15:06 {How You Can Be Blameless} How do you become blameless before God (Philippians 2:15-18)?

~ Bonus Prayer Request: 1:20:37 Please pray for my cousin’s 3 grandchildren. A car wreck on Friday has left one paralyzed and 2 in still in the ICU. One has had 7 surgeries so far. They are all under age 12.

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

1. 0:05 {What Did the Pope Say?} Have some of the things Pope Francis has recently said been heretical?
2. 39:27 {Does Sin Cause Illness?} Does sinning cause physical illness? Does refraining from sinning stop it? John 9:3 and John 5:14 seem to say both are true. Is this a contradiction?
3. 43:17 {Casting Pearls before Swine} In what ways or in what situations might Matthew 7:6 be applicable today?
4. 49:24 {Was David Conceived in Adultery?} In Psalm 51:5, David says that in sin his mother conceived him. Is he saying that he has been in sin since his conception, or that his mother was in sin when she conceived him? Was David born in adultery?
5. 55:26 {Is Calvinism Heresy?} Why isn’t Calvinism more strongly condemned among non-Calvinists? The doctrine essentially teaches that God will punish people for something completely out of their control, which makes God seem unjust.
6. 1:02:35 {Is God Prideful?} Is God prideful? If our purpose in life is to glorify God, does that mean we were created only to praise Him? I know He is worthy of praise, but was He seeking praise by creating us?
7. 1:05:49 {Bible Typography} How important is Bible typography? For example, the way the KJV arranges paragraphs makes context harder to understand than in the ESV.
8. 1:10:12 {Standing With Israel?} With all of the tensions and things going on over in Israel, how should we be responding to those we’re surrounded by who hate Israel? They don’t seem to understand why we stand with Israel.
9. 1:13:56 {Was Simon Always “Peter”?} Catholics always say Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter. However, previous verses (Matthew 16:16, John 21:15, Matthew 4:18, and Luke 5:8) refer to him as Simon Peter. Jesus says, “You are Peter…” not “From now on, you are Peter.” Was Simon always known as Peter?
10. 1:20:35 {Adam – “Leave & Cleave”?} How do you interpret Genesis 2:24? How could Adam come with such a statement, since he had no earthly mother or father?

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:

1. 0:10 {The Chosen’s New Book} Did The Chosen make their own Gospel?
2. 29:00 {Our Attitude when God Works Through Us} Is it sinful for a Christian to be pleased when God enables them to do a good work (Isaiah 64:6, Galatians 6:4)?
3. 34:27 {Is YHWH Biased?} How do we know YHWH isn't just BIASED with His Word (as one would be in any form of competition), when God says "There is no other, beside Me there is no God" in Isaiah 45:5 or "I know not any" in Isaiah 44:8?
4. 43:27 {Did Christ Become the HS?} Does 1 Corinthians 15:45 mean that Christ became the Holy Spirit? I was taught this growing up, but it seems like Modalism to me now. I can’t break from this reading of the verse since I left that group.
5. 54:30 {How to Love Your Neighbor As Yourself} What does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself? Do I put their needs equal to mine, or above mine?
6. 58:48 {Are Believers “Priests”?} What are the implications of believers being called to be "A Holy Priesthood" (1 Peter 2:5)? Does this mean we need to view ourselves as priests?
7. ​1:04:00 {Typology = Eisegesis?} Is it eisegesis to interpret the Old Testament as depicting Jesus? I commonly hear this objection from Jews who say Christians are "inserting their theology into our book."
8. ​1:10:29 {Tongues = Vain Repetition?} Would it be fair to consider the way some churches use tongues in opposition to 1 Corinthians 14 as a form of "vain repetition" (Matthew 6:5-8)?
9. ​1:19:23 {How to Know if We Should Marry Someone} What are some biblical ways to help you decide if you should marry someone?
10. 1:24:24 {Why Evangelize?} Why should we evangelize, other than because God tells us to? If it would be God's will for someone to hear about Him, wouldn't God's will happen anyway? And based on Matthew 10:14-15, wouldn’t they be worse off?
