Money Set Aside on First Day of Week:I was wondering about financing for the church in the New Testament, & what was the money for that Paul was having people set aside on the first day of the week? [1 Corinthians 16:2, 1 Corinthians 9]
Divorce not wanted, but not there Financially:A husband & a father doesn't want to get a divorce from his wife, which she wants, & because he's so devastated, he just disappears & is not there emotionally or financially for his children. Isn't that worse than being an infidel? [1 Timothy 5:8]
Chuck Smith's Last Sermon:A Caller from Bermuda, just calling to say his condolences about Chuck Smith dying the day before, but even though he's in Bermuda now, he was just there listening to the last sermon he ever preached in California.
God Permitting Violence:Why would God have people kill other people? [Joshua] (The call gets interrupted because Steve's computer rebooted on its own.)
Grace, Entering God's Rest & Striving:A caller wants to talk further about entering God's rest & having Grace & striving. [He also gets bumped off the phone.]
Losing our Salvation:Is it possible to lose our salvation? What if we have a gun put to our head & deny that we believe in Jesus? [Matthew 16:25, Ephesians 2:8-10]
Born Again:Caller thinks that you can't be "aborted" (lost) once you are born. Peter denied Christ three times, but he repented & was saved. We are a New Creation. [1 John 5]
Set Free of Sinful Nature:Caller thinks that once we are saved, have a true conversion, we are saved for life, for eternity, because our will has changed & has become God's will.
Forgiving People:I thought a person had to go Jesus themselves to ask for forgiveness, but this verse SEEMS to be saying we can go around forgiving people. [John 20:23]
Head Coverings:I know we are not supposed to decide what Scrpture we can obey or not obey, so what about these verses in Corinthians about head coverings? No one seems to be following them.
Calvinists Tending to be Cessationists:Does it seem that most Calvinists are cessationists, having an intellectual experience towards spirituality? Caller is going to go down & see John MacArthur's conference called, "Strange Fire".
Entering His Rest:Is the chapter of Hebrews 4 that is talking about entering into Jesus' rest talking to believers or unbelievers, Christians or Judaizers? [Hebrews 4, Matthew 11:28-30, Isaiaih 30:15]
Jesus Having a Sinful Nature:Did Jesus have a sinful nature? Since it says He was tempted in ALL points as we are, was He tempted to be gay? Could He have been lustfully attracted to Mary Magadelene? [Hebrews 4:15]
New Earth:Callers knows we are going to be living on the New Earth when Jesus comes back, when we are in eternity, but will we be able to transport ourselves between here & where Heaven is?
Being Caught Up:Caller really thinks the Pre-tribulation rapture is correct, especially in light of 1 Thessalonians. If the great theologians of that day are wrong, how can they be so wrong after studying the same Scripture? [1 Thessalonians 4:15-18]
Young Earth & Light before Sun:I have a theory about the Young Earth & light being before the Sun, & that is that God was so fast, has the speed of light, it's very possible that light could be available even before the sun, thus it still being a young earth. [Genesis 1:2]
A Venue for Steve:Caller has a venue for Steve Gregg to go to, but the e-mail won't work, so the only way he could contact him was by contacting the show.
Calvinism, Bad Things Happening & Micromanaging:God doesn't micromanage, but what about when God tests us & allows very bad things to happen, isn't that micromanaging?
