Steve makes an interjectory announcement about getting together w/ like-minded people:Steve's offers his effort/availability to try to get people of like-minded who are in the same area in touch w/ each other so they can fellowship with each other.
Spirit & Truth:We have to worship God in Spirit & in Truth, so what does that mean? Was He changing how it was done right then because how could they do that up to that point since there were no regenerated Christians yet? [John 14:23-24]
Eternal Security:Some people believe in conditional security & some believe in once saved, always saved. What does Steve believe & what scripture evidence does he use?
Satan a Fallen Angel or the Tempter:If Satan was created at the Tempter, we'd have to attribute evil to God because Satan would have no culpability? Why would God judge Satan? You couldn't really say Satan was evil then.
Men & Women Equality:There's a lot of talk of Men & Women having equality, but Paul says Man was made for the glory of God, & that women were made for the glory of man, What does Steve think about that? [1 Corinthians 11:7, Genesis 1:26-27; 2]
Long-Term Missionary Work vs Short-Term Missions:Caller wants to make a distinction between short terms Missions & long-term Missionary Work. He wants to recommend 2 good books on the subject: "Giving Wisely- Killing with Kindness or Empowering Lasting Transformation?" by Jonathan Martin, & "When Helping Hurts" by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert.
God Killing Innocent People:Caller has some friends who went from Christian to Atheist & want to know why did God kill innocent life when Israel came out of Egypt to take over the land of Canaan if He doesn't want people to go to hell?
Dispensationalism vs Partial Preterism:Why is there such a newfound interest in partial preterism nowadays? Couldn't there be a balance of Dispensationalism & Partial Preterism, a middle ground?
Playing Cards:What is your view about playing cards? (that's the original Q, but Steve talks about Alcohol & Gambling more than the actual playing of cards.)
Forgiving & Loving Your Brothers & Sisters:It's sort've hard to go to church if they are having a hard time forgiving & loving a particular member of the church.
Marriage & Salvation:Caller is concerned about his Marriage, & also wonders if he has had such a true conversion experience since he's having so much trouble w/ his marriage.
New Home Church:Look for a New Home Church & wondering about Calvary Chapel, but there seems to be some lack of Church Discipline, &, there's a Moses Model church hierarchy there, where ONE person is in charge, & can't be held accountable by anyone else.
The Nephilim & Sons of God:What are the views about the Nephilim & the Sons of God? Caller knows that the weirder view is that the Angels came down & mated w/ women, [Genesis 6]
The Bible Study Fellowship:Caller thinks the best church to go to when people ask about where is the best church to go to is, The Bible Study Fellowship.
Hell:Only temporary torment for the view of conditional immortality & so what are the verses that support this, that the punishment will be proportionate? Gnashing & Weeping of teeth seem to be supporting the traditional view. [Luke 12:47-48, Matthew 11:22]
Buddhist Attending a Bible Study:Buddhist attending a Bible study in a Calvary Chapel has no plan on changing his beliefs, so should he continue going?
Old Testament Prophets:Steve believes that all the OT prophets wrote in a prophetic/symbolic/poetic language, but which ones wrote in the LEAST amount of poetic language?
Adding a station on the FM Band:He just wanted to share, though, that they have their station on an FM station, potentially DOUBLING Steve's audience in the area.
Millennium & 2nd Coming:Isn't the Millennium Literal? How come Steve doesn't believe a passage in Zechariah is talking about the 2nd Coming of Christ? [Zechariah 12-14]
Dispensational Views:What would it take for Steve to change his mind that he's wrong about Dispensationalism? Like seeing the Man of Sin in a 3rd temple?
Sacred Names Movement (Hebrews Roots):Does Steve know anything about the Sacred Names Movement? (His actual question gives more information than Steve's answers.)
Day of a Christian in the Early Church:What were the daily concerns of the body of Christ at that time? What would be the daily life of a Christian during the Apostolic times be?
Doing the Will of God:How do we know what God we are doing God's will so we aren't guilty of not doing it when He says that people who say Lord Lord were ever doing His will? [Matthew 7:21]
My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?:Since dying on the cross was God's plan all along, why did Jesus cry to God the Father, "My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?" [Psalm 22:1]
Faith & Works (Saved By):God's work & our work, but we are saved by God's work, but maintain our salvation by our works, caller thinks. [Philippians 2:12]
Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me:God was just looking away for a minute sort've like when your own child might be seriously injured, you just sort've want to look away even though you love the child very much. [Matthew 27:46]
Alcoholic Consumption:People tell the caller that Jesus only made UN-fermented wine when He did the miracle at the wedding. They suggest that Jesus would not sin by drinking alcohol. But caller thinks it might be just about not getting drunk.
Lord's Prayer - ON earth vs IN earth:Caller thinks in the Lord's Prayer, the IN earth is way more important than the way they've been changing it to "on" earth.
