#759-12/9/2018

Panelists: Andy Brewer, Justin Paschall, Robert Charnock

#758-12/2/2018

1. You claim there’s no sign of the fourth Commandment in the New Testament. Doesn’t Hebrews 4 talks about the promise of rest in Hebrews 4:9-10? After Creation, God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it and rested from His work.
2. Doesn’t Acts 13 14, 42, and 44 as well as Acts 16:13, Acts 17 and Acts 18 all speak of the Sabbath?
3. What does “this do in remembrance of me” mean?
4. Since John was on the island of Patmos when he wrote the book of Revelation, how did it get to those it was intended?

2. Does Proverbs 29:18 refer to having long range plans or something else?
3. What is the sin unto death in 1 John 5:16?
4. Who do you explain Ephesians 2:8? How can works have anything to do with salvation?
5. In Nahum 1:2-3, how can we reconcile the statement that the Lord is a jealous and avenging God with what we learn elsewhere about God’s love?
6. I have a bad temper. What can I do to overcome the sin of anger?

Panelists: Jeff Scott, Mark Lindley, Josh McCrary

#756 – 11/18/2018

1. In what way are the elect chosen by God (1 Pet. 1:1)?
2. Is it necessary for everyone to sing in worship even if they cannot sing well?
3. Why does First Peter 4:18 speak of the righteous scarcely being saved?
4. Don’t you believe that 1 Peter 3:21 is dealing with the believer’s good conscience and not salvation? The act of public baptism would save them from their temptation to sacrifice their good inner consciences merely to avoid persecution. After all, such baptism being external is a means of publicly identifying with Christ.
5. If suicide is a sin, why did God bless Samson for doing it (Jud. 16:26-27)?

Panelists: Jeff Scott, Mark Lindley, Josh McCrary

#755 – 11/11/2018

1. In Second Corinthians 7:10, what is the difference between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow?

4. Did the writers of the Old and New Testaments know that they were writing Scripture?
5. In order to honor your father and mother, is it necessary to share in the traditional rites of ancestor worship if such is common in the country in which you live?
6. Please discuss Colossians 1:15? Did God create Jesus before He created Adam?

Panelists: Jeff Scott, Mark Lindley, Josh McCrary

#754 – 11/4/2018

1. Since John was on the island of Patmos when he wrote the book, how did it get to those it was intended?
2. Did Peter request to be crucified upside down and if so why? Where is this (if it is) found in the Bible?
3. Is our time to die predetermined (Ecc. 3:2)?
4. We are in debt pretty bad with hospital bills, home repairs, and car payments as our vehicle was stolen. Where we go to church, they preach on tithing. We are just breaking even and that is if nothing comes up. Should we give what we can or must we give ten percent like our preacher preaches?
5. I have a problem with eating at “church”. Also during the past eight years our congregation has gone from having meals at church to buying the meat on Christmas and Thanksgiving and they have recently started paying for catered meals. To me buying food for people who have no financial needs is not being a good steward of God’s money.

Panelists: Robert Taylor, Sammie Hamilton, Cameron Freeman
