#932 – 4/3/2022

1. If an elder has bad health and has been unable to attend all services for several months, should they step down?

4. If Jesus was the Son of God, why did He call Himself the Son of Man?

1. In 1 Corinthians 6:3, what is meant by “we shall judge angels.” Is the ‘we’ meant to be saints? If so how do we judge angels?
2. Is it true that the bodily resurrection of Jesus is simply the outward expression of early Christian experience, and not an actual, or at least, a verifiable event in human history?
3. In 1 Corinthians 6:18, it reads “Every sin that a man doeth is without the body.” What does he mean by that?

#929 – 3/13/2022

2. Can you please explain the figure of speech known as prolepis and some examples in the Bible of it?

4. In 1 Corinthians 6:2, what is meant by saints shall judge the world?

1. In 1 Corinthians 6:12, Paul says, “All things are lawful unto me.” What does he mean by that? How is it that all things are lawful?

3. What were some of the factors which led to King Saul’s downfall?
4. Being that God’s word is the holy Word of God from the beginning to the end and the prophets of God proclaimed the future of his word from Genesis to Revelation, then how could there be after his Holy Word, additions by those who proclaim to be new found prophets adding things that are not already mentioned in God’s word?
