Inner Witness & Being Saved & Calvinism:Sometimes I wonder if i'm saved or not because I seem to be lacking an "inner witness", & sometimes I think Calvinism is right, that only a select few, the elect, are going to be saved, & not me. Can you comment on that? [Romans 8:16]
Word of Encouragement:Caller wanted to encourage the 2nd to last caller about having anxiety over being saved w/ a story about her sister & the late Bill Bright.
Dispensationalism & Futurism:Dispensationalists have to be a Futurist, but does the other way necessarily ring true, does a Futurist have to be a Dispensationalist?
John Calvin & Michael Servetus:Follow up to John Calvin having Michael Servetus burned at the stake, caller having varying information as to why he did it.
Describing Heaven:A caller relays a story about how describing heaven is difficult as a result of reading Steve Saint's book, "End of the Spear". [Ephesians 2:7, 3:5, 3:21]
Blood for Atonement:Is Blood necessary for the atonement of sins? Some say it's not necessary, so they Jesus sacrifice was null & void. What do you think? [Leviticus 5:11]
Heaven is for Real - NDE's:Are you saying the movie, "Heaven is for Real" is real because you had a friend who said she had a Near Death Experience? [Luke 16:19-31, John 11:38-44, 2 Corinthians 12:1-4]
Paul, his visions & vision:How did Paul become blind? Did he have a Near Death Experience? Was he ultimately healed because he seems to talk about it in past tense in Galatians? How come he couldn't write about the things he saw? [Corinthians 12:1-10, Galatians 4:15]
Michael the Buddhist's Last Call:(This wasn't his last call, though....he called in more recent years as well) Michael the Buddhist called to say this would be the last time he'd be calling.
God won't send good people to hell:My son asked me, "If this guy on the radio is right, then why do we need to send missionaries, if good people are going to heaven anyway, because people who reject it, they are going to go to hell, but if they don't hear it, then they are okay". What do you think about that? [Hosea 4:6, James 4:17]
Healing is reality of Future Heaven:So if we pray for healing & God heals or doesn't heal us, all we are really doing is participating in the reality that will happen when we get to Heaven since we will all be healed then. What do you think of that idea?
Coinherence - Impeccability of Christ:Did Jesus really have Free WIll to go against what the Father wanted Him to do? He must've because otherwise how could it be that "He loved the Father"?
1,000 Years:You are negating the words of Jesus when you say He didn't say it was a literal 1,000 years! That's why Michael the Buddhist never hears Jesus from you, so says the caller. [Revelation 6:1-10]
Steve explains what happened to yesterday's show:They had technical difficulties on yesterday's show, & Steve explains exactly what happened....no electricity.
Future Restoration of Israel - the Mystery of Paul:"In Christ, all things are fulfilled." That statement just seems too simplistic to me. Paul talks about it being a "mystery". He seems to think that Ethnic Israel will be re-attached. So what are your thoughts on what Paul is talking about here in this passage of Scripture? [Romans 11:11-16, 26-29] (Editor's Note: I put the exact same question from the day before because Steve was answering from the exact same question.)
No Forgiveness in the Age, Nor the Next:You were recently talking about Eternal not meaning Everlasting, for eternity, all the time. What about when Jesus said, "Not Forgiven in the Age, Nor the Next"? [Matthew 12:32]
Adding or Taking Away from the Book:Caller used to think this was talking about the whole Bible, but it's probably just talking about the book of Revelation, so is this just a matter of sincerity or do we need to be very careful how we interpret the book, since there's so many opinions out there? [Revelation 22:18-19]
Adding or Subtracting Words:I don't see anything about the 7 years of tribulation in the Bible from Dispensationalists, so talk about adding words to Scripture!
Future Restoration of Israel:"In Christ, all things are fulfilled." That statement just seems too simplistic to me. Paul talks about it being a "mystery". Paul seems to think that Ethnic Israel will be re-attached. So what are your thoughts on what Paul is talking about here in this passage of Scripture? [[Romans 11:11-15, 26-29] (Steve got cutoff there.)
Lost Internet Connection:Steve explains what happened when he was talking to the first caller. (He even got disconnected several times as he was explaining.)
Homosexuality & the Church:How should the church deal with Homosexuality? Caller doesn't want to go to a church that is too conservative, who ignore or hate homosexuals.
First Fruits of the Resurrection:So you think at the Resurrection they are all raised at the same time, both the wicked & the righteous, this class & that class, but what about the firstfruit? Isn't there an order of people that are called? [1 Corinthians 15:23, 14, Revelation 14:4, Janme 1:18, 2:1]
Reigning w/ Christ during the 1000 years:The rest of the dead did not reign until after the 1000 yrs, so how does a resurrection at the same time make sense? [Revelation 20:4-6]
Healing & Anointing:Doesn't it say in James that if we pray for people who need to be healed, that if they are prayed over & they believe it, it will for sure happen? doesn't it say that will happen? [James 5:14]
The term Eternal:How can you have one definition of eternal mean really everlasting, forever, but then it not really mean eternal, everlasting in the same verse? [Matthew 25:46]
Heaven & no Sea:Is there anywhere in the Bible, especially Revelation, that gives insight about Heaven? What about no sea or oceans in the New Earth? Is that symbolic too? [Revelation 21:1]
Loving our Brethren & protecting a believer more than an unbeliever:Do we need to have unity besides just loving one another? [john 15:12, 1 John 4:8, Galatians 6:10]
