2. Is there a difference in the soul and spirit?
3. Did the Holy Spirit come on the 120 in the upper room or just the apostles on the day of Pentecost?
4. Please discuss the need for a good conscience in light of First Timothy 1:5, First Peter 3:16, and Romans 14:22?

2. Is Ezekiel 16:4 a good proof text to refute the subject of Adam and Eve’s navel feature (ie belly buttons)? Does this debunk the evolutionists’ idea of “coming into existence” theory?

4. How does technology like Bible apps, PowerPoint, the Paperless Hymnal, various websites, and Skype help the Christian?

#995- 6/18/2023

1. In reference to forgiveness, I understand that the Bible teaches that we must forgive in order to be forgiven, but recently I was asked, does the Bible actually tell us that we do not have to forgive until we are asked of that forgiveness from the person personally?
2. Is there a difference between the Apostles (the 12) and apostle? The Bible specifically refers to “apostles” in Acts 14:14 regarding Paul and Barnabas.
3. Is the “Celebration/Memorial” of the dead Biblical in nature? Various kinds of funerals are held before or after the body is laid rest.
4. Can a member of the Lord’s church contribute financial support towards benevolence or funeral costs for non-members?
5. Is there any possibility of John the Apostle partaking the Lord’s Supper while exiled at the Island of Patmos? What implications does this have upon proxy-worship?
6. Can a Christian watch the “FBI FILES” TV documentary in light of 1 John 2:15-17?

Panelists: Corey Sawyers, Bruce Hatcher, Jonathan Burns

#994- 6/11/2023

1. We have a microphone and it is not mentioned in the New Testament. So why can’t we have instruments of music in worship too?
2. What is “double imputation” and is it Scriptural?
3. I have seen some of the newer baptistries lately where only the person being baptized goes into the water. Are these scriptural? Since I can find no Biblical example of only the one going into the water? Can this lead to thoughts of one baptizing themselves?
4. Can you simplify the differences between the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)? Specifically, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Is this the same or different?

Panelists: Corey Sawyers, Bruce Hatcher, Jonathan Burns

#993- 6/4/2023

1. Why do other religious groups think there is a rapture?
2. I keep hearing people talk about our God given rights. I have yet to find them in any Bible nor found anyone to tell me where they are found. What is your answer?
3. I am a Christian and I have a question as to why the scripture of 1 Timothy 2:8 is not followed in the worship of churches of Christ. It is seemingly frowned upon to lift hands or clap in the worship service?
4. Since God never changes, why did He love and approve instruments of worship in the Old Covenant and also have instruments of music in heaven, yet disapprove of them now? Even though it is not mentioned in the New Covenant, it is commanded in the last Psalm, Psalm 150? Why do we assume it is not wanted or allowed?

Panelists: Andy Brewer, Justin Paschall, Elliott Hamm
