bart ehrman & James White Debate:I enjoyed watching the debate between Bart Ehrman & James White, & I think James White won, about Textual Criticism of the Bible.
The Book of Isaiah:In Isaiah 9 seems to be bouncing around a little bit, bouncing from one thought to another, especially starting in verse 6 of Isaiah 9. Why did they write like that, where it seems to go all over the place? [Isaiah 9]
Sinner's Prayer & Baptism:A woman pastor said that it's a good idea to be baptized, but not necessary, but it's necessary to say the Sinner's prayer. What do you think? [Matthew 7:24-25]
Baptism of the Holy Spirit:I'm concerned about what you said about not being baptized by the Holy Spirit. I've never had people lay hands on my to be filled with the Holy Spirit, so are you suggesting that if we don't, we can't live a full Christian life?
Enoch, Elijah & Jesus Raptured:A pastor gave examples of people being translated, such as Enoch & Elijah, so doesn't that testify to a pre-trib rapture?
State has more power than church for Marriage:Caller thinks the State only has the authority to hold couples accountable to their marriage rather than the church.
Mental Illness & Suicide:What is the bible's view about mental illness & suicide? What possible reason could someone want to commit suicide of they didn't have mental illness or demon-possessed?
Suicide:People think it's a way to go by jumping off the Golden State Bridge, but if you are in a major crisis that leads you to want to commit suicide, God would forgive you, wouldn't He?
Spiritual Warfare:Even if you are not living up to God's standards, can Satan tell you that you're okay, & that you can still work for Him even though you are not actually okay with God?
Unity Among Christian Brethren:Andy Stanley, Charles Stanley's son, says that unity is more important than doctrine. Nicolaus Zinzendorf came up with the Menorah Rules, & they also came up with the Moravian Covenant for Christian Living. How can Christians create this type of unity like he seemed to, & just agree to disagree on things we aren't going to agree on?
Dispensationalists & Christian Zionists:How far do the Christian Zionist shift the goal post of what an Israelite is? Is it all the descendants of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, or what? How Jewish?
24 Elders from the Calvary Chapel Viewpoint:Caller thinks Steve should take the pre-trib rapture from the Calvary's Chapel's Viewpoint, that he thinks it makes way more sense than an amillennialism.
John the Apostle's Mom & Mary, & John the Baptist's Mother Cousins:Elizabeth & John the Apostle's Mother & Mary are all cousins. How do we deduce this because I can't seem to find it in the Bible?
Being Filled with Holy Spirit:"Will you please pray that I be filled w/ the Holy Spirit?" caller asked a pastor, & the pastor just said he'd know when he was.
Jesus' Temptation:During the temptation of Jesus, didn't Jesus already have the kingdoms of the world that the devil was offering anyway? [Matthew 4:1-11]
Passion for Your Pre-married Spouse:Paul says it's okay to have passion for each other & NOT be sinning, but to get married, so isn't he basically saying sex before marriage is okay? [1 Corinthians 7:36]
Hating People according to David:We are supposed to love our enemies, yes, but those who hate God we are supposed to also hate accordin g to ? [Psalms 139:21]
False Prophets:What about so-called prophets that are wrong, do we need to give credence to them anymore? Even Chuck Smith said that Jesus was going to come back at a specific time. [Deuteronomy 18:22]
Evangelical Inclusivism:What do you think about the idea that people can be saved through Jesus even though they hadn't heard of Him while on the earth?
