Panelists: Robert Taylor, Sammie Hamilton, Cameron Freeman

#752 – 10/21/2018

1. Hamilton – How did Diotrephes cast some out of the church?
2. Freeman – Does John 1:17 teach that there was no grace under the Old Testament and no law under the New Testament?
3. Taylor – Is Capital Punishment biblical?
4. Hamilton – Does the Bible teach that it is wrong to judge?
5. Freeman – Why does the ESV and some translations say that Jesus preached in the synagogues of Judea in Luke 4:44 while the KJV and some others say He preached in the synagogues of Galilee?
6. Taylor – Does man have a sinful nature?
7. Hamilton – When did the New Testament come into effect and when did the Old Testament end?

Panelists: Robert Taylor, Sammie Hamilton, Cameron Freeman

#751 – 10/14/2018

1. Taylor – The Bible teaches it is wrong for a woman to usurp authority over the man in church. It also teaches that the man is head of the household. Would it be wrong to vote for a woman for public office?
2. Hamilton – How is one born again? Does the expression, “born of water,” refer to baptism?
3. Freeman – Should we clap our hands during the singing in worship?
4. Taylor – Is the congregation in sin if we fellowship a couple who is unscripturally married?
5. Hamilton – Why do some churches no longer sing hymns? They just want to sing these new praise songs.
6. Freeman – Is it right for a Christian couple to sporadically attend a congregation for over a two years and never place membership with that congregation or any other?
7. Taylor – If a man requests to be baptized, with most of the congregation well aware of his live-in relationship with a woman, who recently gave birth to their child, is it scripturally correct to fulfill his wish of baptism? Isn’t this baptism without repentance?

Air Dates: #750 -10/7/2018

1. Taylor – This question regards the congregations who are broadcasting their services live on the internet. I am not opposed to the lesson being recorded but when it comes to the invitation, a person responding might be uncomfortable with their personal life being sent out over the internet. What do you think about that?
2. Hamilton – Why did God love the Jewish people?
3. Freeman – Why did Moses have power with God?
4. Taylor – Why did the Jews fail to recognize the Messiah?
5. Hamilton – What is the real meaning of the parable of the prodigal son?
6. Freeman – Please explain Luke 23:28-31? Who was it that wanted the mountains to fall upon them? Is this alluding to the destruction of the Jews or to some event that is yet to come to pass?

Panelists: Keith Mosher, Terence Mannis, Ronnie Gootam

#747-9/16/2018

1. If the kingdom “came” in Acts 2 at the Pentecost, then why doesn’t Acts 2 make any mention of Jesus returning in the clouds, “in like manner as [the apostles] saw Him go into heaven”? (Acts 1:11)
2. Why have the demon possessions ceased? Are there no longer any demons on the earth? If so, what happened to bring about their demise?
3. If “that which is perfect” (1 Corinthians 13:10) is a reference to the completion of the biblical canon, why don’t we have all the books that were written?
4. Is it okay to take sexy pictures of myself and send them to my boyfriend if the pictures just stay with him?
5. What if the person I’m dating wants to have sex (and I don’t want to)? I really like him and I don’t want to lose the relationship?

Panelists: Keith Mosher, Terence Mannis, Ronnie Gootam

#746-9/9/2018

1. What is the meaning of the word Cosmos? I know it isn’t in the Bible but I have seen the word in some of my studies?
2. Why use 1 Corinthians 6:11 (“ye are washed”) to support the view of baptismal salvation? Is there anything here that says washing means baptism? Isn’t washing just another word for cleansing? Don’t Revelation 1:5 and Revelation 7:14 make it clear that the washing is from Christ’s blood rather than water baptism?
3. Why are there two genealogies of Jesus Christ?
4. How is the Christian religion different from all the other world religions?
5. When it comes to communion does it make any difference if its grape juice or wine?

Panelists: Keith Mosher, Terence Mannis, Ronnie Gootam

#745 – 9/2/2018

1. Can God change his mind? (Jonah 3:10; 2 Kgs 20; Num. 23:19)
2. “You are wrong because you don’t go all the way. I preach Faith, repentance, and baptism for remission of sins but also the gift of the Holy Ghost which was speaking in tongues just like they did on Pentecost.” Could you please deal with this response from our viewer?
3. Brethren, I am a Christian. Lately I have heard about denominational churches preaching that when Christ died on the cross that he went to hell to save souls. They use Luke 16:19-31 and Ephesians 4:9 as their proof. I can not make this connection. Will you please comment on this?
4. Should a retired Christian Church preacher, who decides he prefers not to have instrumental music in worship any longer, be allowed to have fellowship in the work and worship of the church of Christ? What would it take for such to happen scripturally?
5. In Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 there appears to be 2 accounts of creation that differ. Could you shed light on that?

#743-8/19/2018

1. I was watching an A Bible Answer Program from 2011 and one of the questions was do we lose consciousness after we die. I know that we don’t lose consciousness after we die, but do you think that we can still hear what is going on here on earth with the living?
2. Why is church attendance important?
3. I need to know how to deal with my non-Christian husband. Do I go to church and leave him at home? How do I explain him to the children?
4. How would one put a stumbling-block in their brother’s way?
5. What is meant by lasciviousness?

Panelists: David Looney, David Lemmons, Bruce Hatcher

#742- 8/12/2018

1. I require more clarification on Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:1,2. Do these verses authorize us to break bread each Sunday? Often denominational preachers argue there is NOT EVERY SUNDAY in Acts 20:7.
2. Please advise me how to improve more souls for Christ?
3. What did Jesus teach about fasting?
4. Is sexual self-gratification a sin?
