Church Fathers & Spiritualizing Scripture:When did the Church Fathers start taking the spiritualizing scripture approach more than taking it literally?
Pestilences, Famines & the Law of God:What would the Israelites motivation be for keeping the law if God just sent them bad stuff all the time, such as pestilences & famines, because doesn't the law put you in bondage to sin?
Praying in the Garden of Gethsemane:If all the Apostles were sleeping when Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, who was witnessing it & writing it down?
Serpent on the Pole:I always thought Serpents were a personification of evil, but when the Israelites had to look up at the serpent on the pole, wasn't that symbolic of Jesus? [Numbers 21:8]
Non-Negotiables:"In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, and in all things charity." So what is your list of non-negotiables to be a Christian?
Son has Fallen Away:My son, who seemed very spiritual when he was young, seems to be throwing it out, going in the opposite direction. I want to turn him back to the Lord.
Be fruitful & multiply:Basing your life on an Eschatological Scheme can warrant such unnecessary hardships. We just need to live for Jesus, not base anything we do on when He might be coming back.
Hell - Annihilationism:Doesn't Annihilationism take away the need for a Savior? Doesn't it take away the whole grace idea if they just get to be snuffed out?
New Heaven & New Earth:So we've been taught that if you are righteous you go to heaven & if you are wicked you go to hell, but then there's also a new heaven & a new earth, so who goes to Heaven & who goes to the New Earth?
Anglo-Saxon Jews:Isn't there a pure line of Jews for the last days that didn't intermingle w/ Gentiles? Caller explains why there it's important to believe that. (a very lengthy discussion.)
The Faith of George Mueller:Have you read of any of George Mueller of Bristol? People like him, & others, like A. W. Tozer, just seemed to have complete joy in their life, a genuine relationship with God. Not like modern people where a lot of Christians just want God to be their genie.
The Lord's Supper - Passover:So I've been told we aren't really supposed to eat the bread or drink the wine of the Communion, only break it, because we are all still sinners & unworthy to take it. [1 Corinthians 11]
Denominations:There are so many denominations but i'd like to know what I align myself with the most, & what are the main differences between the denominations?
Divinity of Christ, Monotheism & Dennis Prager:My father-in-law is a very intelligent man, but he doesn't believe in the Divinity of Jesus, but he believes in God & he gets a lot of his information from a Dennis Prager. Can you tell me pointers to share with him as I dialogue with him? (Lengthy discussion)
Paul not allowed to reveal:Paul wasn't allowed to disclose some of the things he saw while in heaven, so why would it be okay for others to do it now? [2 Corinthians 12:1-4]
