2019 A BIBLE ANSWER

Panelists: Russell Kline, Tim Howard, Jerry Jones

Air Dates: #784 –  6/2/2019;

1. Since each congregation is autonomous why are all these other congregations sending money to A Bible Answer?
2. I can see three days Christ was in the tomb. The day of preparation ( Friday), the sabbath (Saturday), the first day of the week (Sunday), but where is the third night (Matthew. 12:40)?
3. In 1 Corinthians 5:5, what does it means to hand this man over to Satan?
4. Within the context of the church family, how should the eldership respond when it comes to light that a member of the congregation who has been a volunteer youth minister for many years has been using that position to sexually abuse the young boys in the congregation and at a Bible camp he helped organize? The elders went with him to turn himself in to the police as did members of the board from the Bible camp he helped organize. The families of the victims want this brother permanently barred from ever attending there again.

Panelists: Bill Brandstatter, Gerald Cowan, Glen Head

#783 – 5/26/2019

1. How does Hebrews 6:4-6 apply to the Christian who loves God and wants to serve him, but struggles with an addiction? They do well for awhile, but give into the struggle again! How do these verses apply to them?
2. In James 5:14-15, what was the purpose of the oil which elders were to administer?
3. What is Christian fellowship (Acts 2:24)? I am sure it is not just a potluck meal once in a while or a hello when someone enters the church building. In seven years I have only had one visit from a member and one phone call. Is this what Christian love and fellowship is all about?
4. Why is the Holy Spirit sometimes called the Holy Ghost?

Panelists: Bill Brandstatter, Gerald Cowan, Glen Head

#782 – 5/19/2019

1. Did the apostles speak all of those different languages on the day of Pentecost or did they speak one and the people understood it in their language?
2. According to Acts 14:23, if a church does not have elders and deacons can it still be scriptural and acceptable in God’s sight?
3. A man was divorced for irreconcilable differences. He was later baptized into the church. Then he remarried. Should this man be allowed to participate in the services? If this brother is in sin, is the congregation in sin as well?
4. What is the testimony of the water and blood (1 John 5:6-8)?

Panelists: Bill Brandstatter, Gerald Cowan, Glen Head

#781- 5/12/2019

5. In Matthew 23:17, why did Jesus call the Pharisees fools when He prohibits us from calling other people fools?
6. Did Naomi’s sons violate the Law of Moses by marrying Moabite women?
7. My wife wears leggings in public that aren’t see through or anything, but they are very body hugging, tight, and revealing of her lower body. Every curve is on display when she wears them. I feel very insecure and jealous when I notice other guys staring at her in public. Am I sinning by feeling jealous?
8. Are we baptized by the Holy Spirit into the church (1 Cor. 12:13)? Isn’t this the one baptism of Ephesians 4:4?

Panelists: Bill Brandstatter, Gerald Cowan, Glen Head

1. How can one quench the Holy Spirit?
2. If a baby survives a late-term abortion, would allowing it to die without any care or treatment be infanticide?

4. How often should the Lord’s Supper be observed?

#779 – 4/28/2019

1. Please discuss the commonly uses terms: clergy and laity. Are these Scriptural terms?

6. Was there forgiveness of sins under the law of Moses?

#778-4/21/2019

1. In James 5:19-20, is James teaching that if we get a brother out of his wicked ways, we have saved him from premature biological death that is sometimes a manifestation of judgment as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11)?
2. Why does the Hebrew writer instruct us to leave the principles of the doctrine of Christ (Heb. 6:1)?
3. Should we pray for God’s kingdom to come?
4. What is true repentance and why should it be emphasized in our lives?
5. When I discuss Biblical concepts with friends, I am often met with the reply, “That is just your interpretation.” How do I respond?

Air Dates: #776-4/7/2019

1. I have tried my best to study on Genesis 1:3, but would like a better explanation. On the first day we know God said “let there be light” however the sun, moon, stars, etc were not created until the 4th day. So is there any explanation that can be given as to what this light was on day 1?
2. Many times at Funerals it will be said “I know, He or She is in Heaven looking down on us.” I don’t understand that thinking. What about paradise and the judgement? My question is ‘When does the Saved Go to Heaven?’
3. What does the Bible say about women preaching or speaking in church? Can women teach Sunday School or answer questions in a Sunday School class setting where the preacher is leading?
4. I am a Christian and I always wondered why the churches of Christ do not allow music in church?
5. Please explain Hebrews 2:14?

2. What are the books to be opened on the day of Judgment?
3. Is it essential that a crowd be present at a baptism?
4. Should we offer thanks in prayer prior to taking up the contribution?
