  1. As it pertains to Romans 1:26-27, please address the Cult/Temple Prostitution Argument? My friend claims that Paul was not forbidding general same-sex relationships, but was strictly condemning ‘sacred prostitution’ or pagan religious rituals common in Rome.
  2. As it pertains to Romans 1:26-27, please address the Exploitation View? My friend argues that the ancient Greco-Roman world lacked a concept of mutual, loving sexual orientation, and that Paul was only targeting exploitative relationships, such as master-slave dynamics.
  3. Why did God tell Moses not to look at his face on the mountain?
  4. Has baptism replaced circumcision? Some argue that baptism has replaced circumcision as the sign of the covenant between God and His people?
  5. In Romans, it says we are the firstborn or firstfruits. How far back does that designation extend? Does it cover all creation for all time or does it only apply to Christians?
  6. Please explain the doctrine of predestination? Does Acts 13:48 teach that God determined who would be saved and who would be lost before the foundation of the world?
