Reading & Relying on Commentaries:I had a person tell me Matthew was only for the Jews, but anyway, i read a lot of commentaries. It is okay to rely on a good commentary?
Predestination & Faith, Apostles & Church:
Caller thinks that "Calvinism" applies to the apostles, that they were predestined, given irresistible grace, & so on, but we the people of the church, it IS by Faith. What does Steve think of the idea? [Ephesians 1:13, 1 Peter 1:3-5, 2 Peter 1:4, Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3]
Fear & Trembling:It says in the Bible that we need to work out our salvation with fear & trembling. (gets cutoff but able to answer question) [Philippians 2:12-13]
Baptism of the Holy Spirit & Smit Wigglesworth:Caller is back from 2 calls before, talking about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit & what Steve think of Smit Wigglesworth.
Married Couples Classified Information:Women are trying to justify sharing secret stuff with their husbands on the ground that they are now "one". Isn't that a form of gossip? What does Steve think about this?
Early Church Beliefs:Did early Christians believe in life after death & did they believe we went to paradise instead of heaven. (Audio of caller is very weak.)
Rabbi Translating Isaiah different:Caller talking to a Jewish Rabbi said that his version of the Bible does not say that Jesus would become the Messiah. [Isaiah 9:6]
Cruising Ministries:Caller disagree with Steve about cruise ministries, suggesting it's too worldly, too luxurious for the Christian for the Christian to be participating in.
Olivet Discourse:How is this verse in Mark talking about 70 AD when it seems to be talking about a gathering of God’s people at the end of the world rather than the Jewish people? [Mark 13:27]
People or Spirits as anti-Christ:Why does it say in one place where John talks about the anti-Christ that he says it's a person but in another place he says they are spirits? [1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 2:7]
Knowledge of Writing the Bible:Did the writers of the Bible, especially Paul, know they were writing the Bible when they were writing it? After all, Peter considers Paul's writings authoritative. [2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 3:15-16]
Christ-likeness Preventing Sound Judgment:Does be coming too Christ-like prevent sound judgment of being able to accurately judge people on the other hand? [1 Corinthians 2:15]
Judging People or Things:Caller thinks Matthew 7 is talking about judging fellow brothers in Christ, & that John 7 is talking about judging things. What does Steve think? [Matthew 7:1-2, 1 Corinthians 5:1-4, John 7:24, Proverbs 12:1]
High Standard of Sermon on the Mount:Is Jesus actually saying we can do everything He said in the Sermon on the Mount? Or is He simply showing the disparity between His holiness & our sinfulness and inability? [Matthew 5-7, John 8:31, Matthew 28:20]
Cruise Ship Ministries:Is a cruise ship ministry a legitimate ministry or not? Spending a lot of money to go on a extravagant vacation? What about helping the poor instead of spending it on yourself?
Breaking Bread:
In Acts, where Eutychus died by falling from a window, it says they were "breaking bread", but a lot of translations are changing it to "the Lord's Supper". So is it just eating together or is it actually the Lord's Supper (Communion)? [Acts 20:7-11]
