#1099 – 6/15/2025

1. Is it authorized for the Lord’s Supper to be taken to people who are confined and not able to attend church services? There is no example of just one person partaking but multiples. This is a practice I have seen being carried out.
2. Should Elders and Deacons have Children (Plural) or a Child (Singular)? The qualification for having children has a reason, namely, so that one might gain experience governing several people. It has been my belief for many years that this implies that elders need more than one child to be qualified, and that is what I preach and teach today. I know of no good reason why the word “children” in this context should refer to a single child, but I take it to mean a plural number of children as the text says. I believe the same would hold true for deacons.
3. Is it a sin to put parents in a nursing home?
4. How should Christian parents handle a teen daughter who has become pregnant?

Panelists: Keith Olbricht, Ben Williams, Eli Sales

1. Regarding forgiveness, does the offended party forgive the offender prior to his or her being offered a pardon?
2. Upon death, do the righteous ones go to heaven, and the unrighteous ones to hell immediately? Why is there such a misconception regarding the final judgement? Why do some dismiss Luke 16:19-31?
3. What year was the Christ born?
4. Is Daniel 10:13 talking about Jesus Christ? Who was being described by Daniel – a Roman emperor Epiphanus or Christ? Is this symbolical or literal language?
5. What are the Scriptural methods of raising money for the Lord’s work?

Panelists: Keith Olbricht, Ben Williams, Eli Sales

#1097 – 6/1/2025

1. If a brother was married and remarried before obeying the gospel does that disqualify him from being a deacon or elder? If the above statement is true why can I be appointed Ministry leader over several Ministries virtually doing the work of a deacon or elder?
2. In Acts 20:7, Paul preached until midnight, and if they had come together before 7:00 PM on the first day of the week, then Paul preached until the second day of the week when they broke bread in verse 11 when they ate supper. On which day did they break bread?
3. Why did God rename Abram as Abraham and Sarai as Sarah?
4. Are the seventy weeks mentioned in Daniel 9:24-27 a literal or figurative time-line? Are the seventy sevens symbolical or literal? Does this stand for a literal 490 years?
