Overwhelming Presence of the Holy Spirit (about Michael the Buddhist):
Caller thinks Michael the Buddhist needs to release his grip on Buddhism & firmly grip Christianity so he can really feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, which he had called & talked about in a previous show. The Early Church in Jerusalem: In following God’s will & serving Him, what did the church in Jerusalem look like? Were they zealous for the law? Was it an underground church?

Steve's Mom, A. Wetherell Johnson & Bible Study Fellowship (BSF):
So Steve's mom learned under A Wetherell Johnson's teaching in BSF? Preterism, Church Fathers & John at Patmos: Eusebius says that John the Revelator was exiled at Patmos in 95 AD, so wouldn't that put a damper in the book of Revelation being written before 70 AD? [Revelation 1:9] Dating of the Book of Revelation: So you use both external & internal evidence, & one of those categories gives more evidence for a late date, but the other one gives more evidence for an early date, is that right? |

Church Growth in Dark Ages:
How was the church growing in the Dark Ages during the monopoly the Catholic Church had on the Bible, on the Truth? [Matthew 13:31-32] Materialism: Western Society seems to have lost their way, the husband & the wife both working, undermining the family by being taught by schools & daycares, ignoring Christianity. |

The 70th Week:
If the "He" is referring to the Messiah, how did He make a covenant with them for one week (7 years)? Did the Church Fathers see a gap between the 69th & 70th week? What is the wing when it says, "on the wing of abominations"? [Daniel 9:27, Romans 15:8] |

Tertullian & Lucifer being a Fallen Angel:
Did Tertullian believe & come up with Lucifer Falling from Heaven? Zeal, even if misguided, is good: Even though caller thinks Rusty, who's been calling in a lot lately regarding the perseverance of the saints, is wrong, but that at least he has enthusiasm for what he believes. |

Church Fathers Regard to Revelation:
It is the contention of the caller, who is doing a followup from a previous show, that the early church fathers did use & consider the book of Revelation inspired, even though it wasn't in the canon of Scripture. |
|
| 2014-10-10 |
Church Father, Calvinism & Partial Preterism:
I was listening to one of your lectures, you saying none of the Church Fathers believed in Calvinism, so that's a good argument that it's not correct, but, they didn't believe in Partial Preterism either, but the further we are getting away from it more people are believing it, including yourself. So why should we consider one aspect of what the Church Fathers thought, but not another? Book of Revelation: Since the book of Revelation wasn't in the canon of Scripture for a long time after all the other books, what did they consider the book as, just a inspirational, informative book, like the book of Maccabees? |

Church History - Eusebius:
There's a story that Eusebius tells about King Abgarus writing a letter to Jesus about his sick son, wanting Him to come heal him, & Jesus replying that He'd send one of His disciples to heal him.

Future Salvation of Israel:
Some of the Church Fathers taught a future salvation for Israel almost like Dispensationalists teach. [Romans 11] Concerning the Election: What then is your view about Romans 11:28 where Paul seems to make a distinction between ethical Israel & this supposed spiritual Israel that you say Romans 11 is talking about? [Romans 11:28, Galatians 3:28] |
