#1124 – 12/7/2025

1. Other than proselytism, does the Bible indicate anything about God’s standard of judgment for gentiles who lived in the times of the Old Testament? While the law was given to the Jews (the circumcised) through Isaac as God worked to bring the Messiah into the world, do we know any standard given to the Ishmaelites (the uncircumcised). For a Gentile living in the times of the Old Testament was salvation even possible without converting to Judaism?
2. At the beginning of time, God instituted marriage between one man and one woman as the only acceptable sexual relationship. This is restated in Matthew. Why then, did many in the Old Testament have multiple wives and concubines including men of God like David?

Air Dates: #1119 – 11/2/2025

1. I heard an answer that Heaven and earth would be destroyed and they would no longer exist from 2 Peter 3:10. But 2 Peter 3:13 and Revelation 21:1 say there will be a new Heaven and earth. How is that they will not exist?
2. Are elders allowed to make confessions in the church like ordinary members? If so, should the elder step down afterwards, or should the church remove him? For instance, in a situation where a church elder confesses to a sin, such as verbally insulting and exchanging harsh words with a stranger at a grocery store during a disagreement.
3. Please explain the handwriting that was nailed to the cross?
4. When song leaders frequently choose songs that exclude half of the congregation, such as when only the women sing the verse, and the men are directed to only sing the chorus, or when he arranges the song and directs the bass singers (men) to only sing the fourth verse – and thereby quietly listen to 75% of the song, or the tenors to come in on the third verse, not singing half of it. Does this not violate the principles found in Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19?
5. Is it wrong to wear a cross as jewelry?

Panelists: Tim Glassof, Michael Clarke, Wayne Rodgers
