Questions in this Episode

1. Did God command genocide in the Old Testament?

2. My brother-in-law says he believes it's unfair that all the people who died before Jesus was born didn't have a chance for salvation. I know there are old testament people who are in heaven but I don't know how to answer him.

3. Is Jesus the true passover lamb?

4. What does 1 Corinthians 7:39 mean when it talks about remarriage?

5. Is the makeup of man a dualism of body and soul? Or are the body and soul one and the same? I ask this question because I would like to know how best to help my dad who has various mental illnesses diagnosed by his doctor (he has PTSD, bipolar disorder, and OCD). Should my dad take just take medication or does he need to repent, or both? What is the relationship between his body or mind and his spiritual side?

6. What happens to the souls of unbelievers immediately after death?

Questions in this Episode

1. What is the rapture?

2. The Bible says that if people remarry that it's adultery, but the church seems to welcome remarried couples all of the time as if it's not a big deal. But the church would never welcome a homosexual couple. Isn't that hypocritical? My best friend is gay and I am not sure he would ever be welcome in a church. What is a gay person's place in the church community?

3. Galatians 5 speaks of the Fruit of the Spirit, but I see unbelievers also display some of these fruits in some way. So what separates a Christian and an unbeliever when they can both exhibit this kind of behavior?

4. I don't want to judge others for speaking in tongues, but what is your view on this spiritual gift?

5. What does Jesus mean in John 6 when he says we must eat his body and drink his blood?

Questions in this Episode

1. When Christ was tempted, it says that he was "led up to the high place." Was he physically taken to a high place to look at the kingdoms of the world?

2. In 2 Peter 2:4, he talks about fallen angels being locked up until the final judgment. What does Peter mean by that?

3. Why are teachings about the rapture and the end times so confusing?

4. In my Bible study someone brought up the idea of Calvinism and predestination. What do you think of these things?

5. Over the past 18 months I went through an extreme amount of physical and emotional pain. So much so that when I read about the sufferings of Christ I think that I suffered worse than he did. I know this isn't right and could be a demonic attack. But it is really frustrating my connection with God. Could you talk about Christ's suffering and help remind me of how insignificant my suffering is in comparison?

Questions in this Episode

1. A family member is really into Q'Anon and conspiracy theories. I tried to tell her the truth but she's very combative, so I chose not to continue responding, even though she is mixing a lot of these theories and ideas with Scripture and even the identity of Jesus and his mission. Should I just delete these kinds of people from my social media feeds even though they are my family members?

2. How do we deal with family members who are emotionally abusive?

3. There is a lot of division and disagreement over issues like masks and vaccines, but very little of it has to do with the Bible and doctrines. Why is the church so caught up in these kinds of things?

Questions in this Episode

1. I agree with 1 Timothy 3 where Paul says women should refrain from being elders and pastors in the church, but I am wondering if this means women should also avoid going to seminary?

2. In 1 Timothy 2:15, Paul says, "Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control." Surely women aren't saved this way, what does Paul mean here?

3. My church is going through Luke. And this past week the passage on Luke 5:39 really stumped me. What does the new wine and old wine and new garments and old garments represent?

4. Are Christians required to speak in tongues?

5. In my city, some people are saying that they are the "true Israelites" and they are condemning other ethnic groups. My question is, is the church the true spiritual Israel?

6. Follow up about speaking in tongues: my friend who is a preacher says that the original greek in John 3 teaches that the baptism of the Holy Spirit means that we have to speak in tongues. How would you respond to that?

Questions in this Episode

1. I have been baptized, but my church still says I have not received the Holy Spirit because I have not spoken in tongues. I am confused about if I need two baptisms or if I don't need the Holy Spirit to get into heaven?

2. Should we pray to Jesus or should we pray to God the Father, as we are taught to in the Lord's Prayer?

3. In Psalm 37:11, it says the meek will inherit the earth. Can you help me understand what this means? Is it talking about when Jesus comes back? And does meek mean "submissive"?

4. I don't believe that Revelation should be in the biblical canon. It seems as though John of Patmos is like Joseph Smith, where he went away by himself and had wild visions that Jesus doesn't mention in the Gospels. What do you think?

5. My husband prays the rosary but I don't see this practice in the Bible. Is it biblical?
