Did Mary Know? Dec 24, 2021

Questions in this Episode

1. Was Jesus actually born on Christmas Day? I have heard theories that he was born sometime in October.

2. Do you know that Christmas song, "Mary did you know?" I know some people make fun of that song, but I thought that that question was pretty good. In Luke 1 it doesn't quite seem to allude to the fact that Mary knew her son was going to bear the sin of his people. So, did she know or was it a surprise to her?

3. Is it ok to tell my kids that Santa is real?

4. Does the Bible command or forbid us to celebrate traditions like Christmas? I have heard both views from various churches. I know Catholics are big on celebrating Christmas and I have heard some protestant groups and even Jehovah's Witnesses say that we shouldn't.

Questions in this Episode

1. How do I love my family members who have invited me to their same-sex wedding while maintaining biblical teachings about sexuality?

2. I wanted to know if there is any other historical evidence that Christ was really born other than the Bible? I have heard some atheists claim that he might have entirely been a myth.

3. I am old now and can't go to church. Why does my mind bombard me all the time with the things that I have done wrong with things I have done in my past? I know I am saved, but how do I stop this?

4. I have many friends in the Charismatic Church who delight in giving me books about the prayer of faith for healing and everything else in life. I see so many verses taken out of context in their teachings. My question is: do I attempt correcting my friends, or do I just say, "thank you," pray for them, and move on?

5. What do you think of Messianic Judaism?

Questions in this Episode

1. I have heard it said that because Eve was deceived in Eden and not Adam, men should be pastors and not women. Is that right?

2. Someone brought to my attention that Christmas is a pagan holiday. Are we as Christians adhering to pagan practices when we celebrate Christmas?

3. What is the relationship between repentance and confession?

4. Does Isaiah 30:21 confirm that we should hearing from God audibly?

5. I am really struggling with understanding how to deal with a particular situation, would love some help. A bunch of friends and I are planning on going on a trip this next summer and we are renting a house for a week. Most of us are Christians but there is one girl and her boyfriend who aren't. They are most likely wanting a room for themselves and as a Christian I am struggling with whether or not we should let that happen. On one note, yes I can't force them to do what I believe as a Christian is wrong since they aren't a married couple, but on the other hand I do wanna minister to them well. How can we as Christians walk biblically and wisely in this situation?

6. What does it mean that Jesus is the "only begotten Son of God"?

Does Jeremiah 10 Forbid Us from Having Christmas Trees? Dec 20, 2021

Questions in this Episode

1. What does it mean to say that Jesus in "the only Begotten Son of God"?

2. What does the Bible say about body embalming, burial, and cremation?

3. I was reading Jeremiah this year in my devotions and came across what it says about trees in pagan worship in chapter 10:1-16. This passage seems to describe what Christmas trees look like around this season. Does this prove that the critiques from some people against celebrating Christmas and having the seasonal decor are valid?

3. Why do a lot of Christians pray for their country and their country's recovery? If it's all going to be burnt away anyway, why are we trying to do something like "save America"?

4. I am a new Christian and my fiance is not a believer. I just learned about what it means to be "unequally yoked." Should I call off the wedding?

5. I was being ordained at my church and the current pastor invited a guest preacher to come up and speak in tongues. I'm not sure how I feel about this. What do you think?

Was God Really Silent for 400 Years? Dec 13, 2021

Show Notes

CoreChristianity.com

Questions in this Episode

1. Why is the label, "the Word" used for so many different things? I've always understood John 1:1 as referring to Jesus. But I'm curious why we also refer to the Bible as "the Word."

2. I was raised as a Roman Catholic, but I am learning a lot more about what I believe the Bible teaches regarding doctrine and things like praying the rosary. My Roman Catholic family members are concerned for me because they see this as me leaving the faith. How do I address the concerns of my family members and assure them that I am not leaving Christianity?

3. Why was God silent for 400 years in between the Old and New Testaments? Is this hyperbole and is this silence between the Old and New Testaments something we don't have to believe in? What is its significance?

4. The Gospel accounts are often based on eyewitness testimony, but there were no eyewitnesses to Jesus's temptation in the desert with Satan. How do we really know what transpired in those accounts?

5. When the Pharisees questioned Jesus about a woman married to many men and asked which husband she would be betrothed to at the resurrection, Jesus said, "no one will be given to each other in heaven." If that's right, then why does God make such a big deal about marriage in the Bible?

6. If Peter was forgiven 3 times for denying Christ, why wasn't Judas?
