March 24, 2013- Episode #461

Panelists: Jeff Bell, Brent Arnold,Michael Gilbert

3/24/13;
1. Jesus is not almighty God. While Jesus’ opposers accused him of making himself equal to God. (John 5:18; 10:30-33), Jesus never claimed to be on the same level as Almighty God. He said: “The Father is greater than I am”in John 14:28.
2. Jesus’ early followers did not view him as being equal to Almighty God. The apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2:9 that after Jesus was resurrected, God “exalted him to a superior position.” Obviously, Paul did not believe that Jesus was Almighty God. Otherwise, how could God exalt Jesus to a superior position?
3. Is prayer ever sinful?

1. How do we know that the breaking of bread in Acts 20:7 refers to the Lord’s Supper as there is no wine recorded here?
2. Is there anywhere in the Bible that suggests Satan cries when a person turns from sin? I know this sounds silly, but it has actually been taught and I can’t think of any scriptures that would validate this teaching. Is the idea that Satan cries over our obedience to God a fable that should be renounced, is it a harmless allegory, or does scripture substantiate this portrayal of Satan?
3. I am puzzled by Luke 22:35-38. Why did Jesus order his disciples to buy two swords if they were not permitted to use them?
4. How can repentance be a gift from God since repenting is something we do? (2 Tim. 2:25)

2. God rested on the 7th day (Saturday) so why do we celebrate the sabbath day on the 1st day (Sunday)? ] 3. The 4th commandment says to keep the sabbath day holy and to do no work on the sabbath. Jesus says however that the priests profane the sabbath and are blameless and that it is okay to do good on the sabbath. However, Jesus didn’t say to work or that it was no longer a holy day of rest; so what is lawful to do on the sabbath and are we still obligated to keep this day 4th commandment?

5. If a company gives their employees more paperwork than those employees can handle and are told its too much but do nothing to the point those employees have to falsify documents just to keep up but the falsifying is not really hurting anyone or affecting quality or safety then will those employees go to hell for falsifying even though they have to do so to keep up?

1. Where does our soul or spirit go when we die?
2. Why did they use scrolls?
3. We recently heard it taught that the apostles at the time of their calling were all teenagers or under age twenty except for Peter. This was based on Exodus 30:12-16, 26 that those over twenty were to pay the half shekel for the temple. Yet, in Matthew 17:22, 24-27, Jesus only paid the tax for himself and for Peter. Therefore, he taught that the eleven must have been under the age of twenty. Please discuss this on your a Bible Answer program.

1. We know that of Jesus’ second coming only God the Father knows the time, but can we see any signs now as to whether it is closer with the earthquakes going on the past few years and the changing with the weather?

They say there are two different Hebrew words in the Old Testament and two different Greek words in the New Testament; one word for putting away (without a writing of divorcement

[apoluo] and divorce – the actual ending of a marriage [apostasion].  They claim  that  Malachi 2:16 does NOT say God hates “divorce” but that God hates separation even without a divorce.  Can you please discuss this?

3.  Isn’t it true that there are two different gospels, one for the Jews and one for the Gentiles (Gal. 2:7)?  The Jews only had to believe that Jesus was the Son of God. We are stablished by Paul’s gospel which was hid from the beginning of the world until God revealed it to Paul.

Panelists: Andy Brewer, Justin Paschall, Robert Charnock

1. Please discuss how to correctly read Revelation and explain it to my family?
2.  In James 1:13 it says God cannot be tempted with evil. However, John 1:1 says that Jesus was with God and was God and  John 1:14 says Jesus is God in the flesh and dwelt among us. Matthew 4:1-10 says the devil tempted and Hebrews 4:15 says Jesus, our High priest, was tempted like as we are. So could you help me understand James 1:13 better? [This comes from a prisoner who is taking a correspondence course] 3. What can we do to strengthen the faith of our children?

November 17, 2013- Episode #495

Panelists: Brent Arnold, Michael Gilbert, Randall Evans

1. When we were saved the Holy Spirit entered our hearts, when (and if) we backslide and lose our salvation, where does the Holy Spirit go?
2. In view of Matthew 6:33, I am puzzled about the Apostle Paul’s declaration in 2 Cor. 11:17 and Phil. 4:11-12. Were Paul’s basic needs met by God?
3. Many people say that we should be baptized to wash away our sins. If that is true, why was Jesus baptized?
4. When a church sells chances on something, is this gambling?
