Institutional Church, Chaos & Early Church:Caller thinks institutional is sort've on its way out but doesn't want chaos but should go back to early church ways.
Devil & his Minions:What is the Biblical reason that God allows the Devil & Minions to scourge us in addition to what we already have to deal with in our own evil desires & carnal nature? So many things stacked against us, in addition to him & his associates! Why? {James 4:7]
Studying Prophetic Scriptures:Did you say there is no value in studying Prophetic Scripture? What if the futurist paradigm was correct, would there be value in studying them? Why isn't there any value in what the Church Fathers believed about a future antichrist, a future temple.
Taking Words out of Prophecy & Alpha & Omega:"I am Alpha & Omega, the beginning & the end." Modern Bibles have taken those words out of Revelation. Is there a good reason why this can be done? [Revelation 22:18-19, 1:10-11]
Slavery - Servitude:If Jesus & the Apostles had perhaps been more opposed to slavery, there wouldn't have been such a problem in our own country. What say you?
A future war of surrounding Israel:Caller has his Scripture ideas as to why there is going to be a future onslaught of Israel: "Redemption draweth nigh", there's no redemption in 70 AD; "There shall be a tribulation such as has never been before", & he feels 70 AD pales in comparison to the Holocaust. And then Satan makes war w/ the woman, caller correctly point out that the woman is remnant Israel. [Luke 21:20, Matthew 24:15, Revelation 12:17]
Nephilim, Giants, Daughters of Men:This compromised the human makeup, the angels having sex w/ women. And so then God had the Flood to destroy them. [Genesis 6]
Apocrypha books - Epistle of the Barnabas:Where does it say that an apostle can be the only ones that write a book of the Bible, & if it doesn't say that, why can't people like Mary Baker Eddy or Joseph write a book for the Bible?
Protestants Saved or not Saved:In our last discussion you said Vatican 1 Protestants were condemned to hell, & that in Vatican 2 they were only separated brethren, but wasn't it the Council of Trent that said it & not Vatican 1?
Polygamy & the Mormon Church:Polygamy in the Old Testament, why did God permit it? There was polygamy in the Mormon Church, & they don't like having it in their history.
Inerrancy of the Bible - Mustard Seed:Jesus said that the Mustard Seed was the smallest seed, but in reality, it's not. So was He mistaken? The NLT version of the Bible sort've helped Him out by saying, "one of the smallest seeds".
Mary the Mother & Trinity:You had a call about the Pope making the Mother of Mary as part of the Trinity. I did some research on that, & he does say that indirectly.
Confessing Jesus before Men:Is it part of the judgment that if you don't confess Jesus before men He won't confess you before His Father? [ Mark 8:38, Luke 9:26]
Sabbath:Are we supposed to keep the Sabbath Day from Friday Sundown to Saturday Sundown or is Sunday okay, or Wednesday? I don't want to feel guilty for going to church on Sunday. [Hebrews 7:12, 4:12]
Sabbath follow-up:Didn't Jesus say to keep His commandments, & doesn't it say to "Remember the Sabbath", so isn't that one of the commandments that we are supposed to keep, keeping the Sabbath?
Answering a Believer's Prayer for an Unbeliever:Is it true that God won't answer a Christian's prayer on an unbeliever's behalf for healing, or a financial crisis they are in, but only for their salvation & repentance? [James 5:16]
Unbeliever's Prayer:A friend was telling that God will not answer an unbeliever who is calling out for help unless it's repentance & asking for Salvation. Is that true?
Following Jesus Easy or Hard:Is following Jesus easy or hard? In some places Jesus says it's hard, like taking the Narrow Path, taking up the cross, but then He says His Yoke is easy & the Burden light? Matthew 7:13-14,11:29-30, 1 John 5]
Delay in Punishment:What verses would you use to show you shouldn't sin even though you seem to be getting away with it right now? [Ecclesiastes 8:11-12]
Annihilationism & EGW:One of the appealing things about SDA's is their belief about what happens to the wicked. Holding up Ellen G. White to a prophetic status. If she had just been declared a teacher.....
Think to Change Times & Laws:But what about their belief that the Papacy changed "times & laws" in Daniel, that the Catholic Church changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday? [Daniel 7:25]
Tradition & Legalism:When do you think the traditions some of us have all of a sudden become legalistic? When are we officially crossing the line? Is there anything that we do that would be deemed legalistic?
