Panelists: Gary Colley, Jimmy Colvett, David Gulledge

#581-7/12/2015

1. What about those in the Christian Church that were baptized for the remission of sins, but have only attended the Christian Church? Some believe they are saved but erring, others say one cannot be taught wrong and baptized right. What is the truth on this matter?
2. My anxiety is affecting my health, my family, and my work. Where do I turn?
3. Was Jonah actually swallowed by a whale or by something else? Some say that whale in Matthew 12:40 is not the correct rendering?
4. Did Jesus live before He was born of a virgin?
5. What is the nature of the “Great White Throne” Judgment? Is this only for the lost to determine their degree of punishment?

Panelists: Gary Colley, Jimmy Colvett, David Gulledge

Air Dates: #580-7/5/2015

1. Why was Cain’s offering rejected?
2. How can we know that God truly exists and that He’s not just a product of our imaginations?
3. In the story of Jacob and Esau, some teach that there is a difference between the birthright and the blessing. Is it the case that the birthright deals with the spiritual leadership of the family while the blessing deals with property?
4. How could God say, “Esau have I hated” (Rom. 9:13)?
5. I heard someone speak of presumptuous sin. What does this mean and are there other different kinds of sin?
6. Rather than water baptism, doesn’t Romans 6:3 refer to a spiritual baptism and that when Jesus died, the believer died with Him; when Jesus was buried, the believer was buried with Him; and when Christ was raised from the dead, the believer was raised with him?

Panelists: R. W. McAlister, Jim Faughn, Jeff Scott

2. What is the weight referred to in Hebrews 12:1 which we are to lay aside?
3. Did God approve of Jacob’s duplicity in dealing with Esau?
4. How can social media harm my family?

Panelists: R. W. McAlister, Jim Faughn, Jeff Scott

#578- 6/21/2015

1. We know the Bible forbids us to commit sin or consent to sin. But what is the Christian’s responsibility on either appearing to consent or aiding in sin, especially as it relates to business dealings?
2. What is meant by “Rachel weeping for her children”?
3. Why is unleavened bread used in the Lord’s Supper?
4. What should we teach our children concerning getting into fights and physical confrontations with others?

#577- 6/14/2015;

1. On placing membership, does one have to make a “formal declaration” of wanting to place membership in a congregation or is one considered a member by regular attendance and participation with a congregation without a formal statement? Some in continuous sin claim they are not subject to the elders since they did not “place membership.”
2. Do you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, in his present glorified state, now is the Spirit (the Holy Spirit) that fills his body, the church (2 Cor. 3:17-ASV)?
3. Didn’t the Father glorify His Son with His own Spirit, and the Son then poured forth of his own Spirit on the day of Pentecost those things which the people were able to see and hear (Acts 2:33)?
4. Isn’t it the case that the Godhead is made up of two, God the Father and God the Son united both in name (Jehovah in the Old Testament and Jesus in the New Testament) and in purpose? To have God is to have both God the Father and God the Son (2 Jn. 9). This one passage alone settles for all time as to who makes up the Godhead and what it means to have God.
5. What do employers and employees owe each other?

Panelists: R. W. McAlister, Jim Faughn, Jeff Scott

1. Could you please explain Ecclesiastes 9:5?
2. I have a question about the passage in I Corinthians 14:34-35 about women speaking out in church. Should she sing? Should she answer questions in Bible class? If she should ask her husband when she goes home, what is the use of her even going to church?
3. Is it appropriate to have at the beginning of the Lord’s Supper communion meditations or what are sometimes called “table talks?”
4. What does the Easter bunny and eggs have to do with the resurrection of Christ?
5. What does the word “spiritual” really mean?

2. How can Paul’s words be inspired if he says he is merely giving his opinion (1 Cor. 7:12,40)?
3. Does the word baptize mean to immerse? If so, why isn’t it translated that way?
4. Why didn’t David kill Saul when the opportunity arose?
5. Did Old Testament sacrifices make atonement for sin?

Panelists: Robert Taylor, Russell Kline, Glen Head

#574-5/24/2015;

#572- 5/10/2015;

1. What does it mean to bear false witness?
2. Could you address the need for balanced preaching?  It seems that many preachers want to soft-soap the gospel and no longer set forth distinctive Bible teaching so desperately needed by people today?
3. Why does Paul speak of the offense of the cross and talk about it ceasing if he preached circumcision (Gal. 5:11)?
4. Do those who die in infancy go to heaven?
5. In 2 Corinthians 3:6, what is meant by the phrase “for the letter killeth but the spirit giveth life?”
