       Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
       0:00 intro
       1. 1:01 {Yoga Pants & Ripped Jeans?} Ladies on the worship team
       sometimes wear yoga pants and ripped jeans. I think that goes
       against the Romans 14 principle of not causing a brother to
       stumble. What do you think?
       2. 21:29 {Did Jesus’ Atonement Require His Divinity?} Why was it
       necessary for Jesus to be fully divine in regard to our
       salvation? Wayne Grudem states, “Only someone who is the
       infinite God could bear the full penalty for all the sins of all
       those who would believe in Him..." Do you agree, and are there
       any other reasons stated in Scripture?
       3. 25:54 {Daniel: The Iron & Clay Kingdom} What is your
       interpretation of the 4th kingdom made of iron & clay in Daniel
       2?
       4. 30:36 {Did God Need to Create Humans?} It may be a simple
       question, but why did God create humans? I’d be happy to get
       your insight. He didn’t need to, or did he?
       5. 36:35 {Do Tiny Choices Affect History?} Should Christians
       ever concern themselves with ideas like the butterfly effect
       (the idea that tiny choices have big impacts on history)?
       6. 38:38 {Ministering to LDS Members} I showed some LDS members
       your Book of Abraham video, but because they believe they heard
       from the Holy Spirit, biblical arguments haven’t worked. How can
       I show that they haven’t heard the Spirit?
       7. 45:18 {When Were the Apostles Saved?} When were the Apostles
       saved? They didn't have the full knowledge of what Jesus was
       doing until His appearance after His resurrection. Could they be
       considered "saved" before Pentecost?
       8. 47:40 {Will God Reveal when our Thinking is Unbiblical?}
       Philippians 3: 15 says God will reveal when our thinking is
       opposed to His calling. How, then, do so many dedicated
       Christians get all the way through life still utterly confused
       about essential moral issues?
       9. 52:02 {How to Tell When Love Has Become Idolatry} Have I made
       my crush an idol? I’ve found myself crushing on a brother in
       Christ. I’ve also found that sometimes I prefer thinking about
       him more than God. I don’t want to do this. Any advice?
       10. 56:48 {Are Drugs OK if they’re Grown Naturally?} Is Genesis
       1: 29 allowing us to smoke weed and to eat magic mushrooms
       because they’re found naturally? Hasn’t sin surely had a big
       impact after the fall, on vegetation?
       11. 1:00:45 {The Bible on Transgenderism} What is the best
       biblical case against transgender behavior?
       12. 1:04:31 {Did God Die / Is Mary God’s Mother?} Can we say God
       died since Jesus died? And can we say Mary is the mother of God?
       13. 1:08:38 {Can We Add Punctuation to Scripture?} A pastor at a
       local Bible study wants me to add punctuation to a section of
       Scripture that is just words to see multiple meanings. I feel
       uncomfortable with this. What are your thoughts on doing this?
       14. 1:10:03 {How to Grow in Self-Control} Because it is a fruit
       of the Spirit, is self-control a teachable skill like in Titus
       2, or a gift of the Spirit? What practical advice do you have to
       get more emotional and verbal self-control?
       15. 1:16:11 {Must our Salvation Produce an Emotional Response?}
       Most Christians have a moment where they break down and weep as
       they realize what Jesus did for them on the cross. Is it normal
       to not have experienced this? I'm grateful, but also weirdly
       indifferent.
       16. 1:18:43 {Is Reading the Bible Better than Listening?} I have
       difficulty reading the Bible, and I think that listening to the
       Bible (like an audio Bible) might be helpful, but I feel like
       I'm missing something by not reading it. Any thoughts?
       17. 1:20:50 {Is it OK to Correct our Parents?} Is correcting
       your parents biblical, and what do you do if they do not respect
       correction?
       18. 1:24:32 {About Love in 1 Cor. 13:7} What does it mean
       practically that “Love bears all things, believes all things,
       hopes all things, endures all things”?
       19. 1:29:10 {How to Tell if a Show or Movie is Appropriate} As
       Christians, how should we judge whether or not a secular show or
       movie is OK for us to watch or not?
       20. 1:32:37 {Is Hell a Present or Future Place?} What is the
       best defense or response when defending the position that Hell
       is not a present place, but instead, a future place?

       Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
       0:00 - Intro
       1. 0:38 {Avoiding the Appearance of Evil?} You recently said,
       "Scripture says: avoid the appearance of evil." I was wondering,
       if 1 Thessalonians 5: 22 is the verse you were thinking of,
       isn't that Scripture referring to staying away from partaking in
       evil, not abstaining from things that look like you're partaking
       in evil to others?
       2. 17:49 {About Jesus’ DNA} What was Jesus' DNA? Was Jesus' DNA
       100% from God, or did He have Mary's human DNA? Perhaps it's the
       same DNA as Adam, since Jesus is the 2nd Adam?
       3. 23:25 {Angels Ascending & Descending?} What did Jesus mean in
       John 1: 51? Was it a specific word for Nathanael, or does it
       apply to everyone? Would really love some clarity.
       4. 30:58 {Brotherly Support vs. Enabling Legalism} How do we
       balance being careful not to stumble a fellow believer, while
       also not catering to someone's legalism?
       5. 37:24 {Polygamy in Scripture?} Polygamy? Exodus 21: 10–11
       says if he takes to himself another woman, he may not reduce her
       food, her clothing, or her conjugal rights. Clearly, God is
       speaking of multiple wives. Your thoughts?
       6. 44:11 {Negative Words = Neg. Consequences?} In WOF (Word of
       Faith) circles, 2 Kings 4:8-37 is an example of why you
       shouldn’t speak or pray negatively about your situation. What is
       the actual idea of this passage?
       7. 53:41 {Envy vs. Jealousy?} Is there a difference between envy
       and jealousy? Can you describe what the difference is
       biblically?
       8. 56:09 {Did Joseph Fail to “Test the Spirits”?} 1 John 4 says
       to “test the spirits.” But Mary's husband, Joseph, didn't appear
       to do this when he had the dream to flee to Egypt. How should we
       understand or interpret this?
       9. 1:00:20 {Must we “Wait for God” before Salvation?} Can you
       get saved whenever? My church teaches that God must first “knock
       on your heart” before you can respond and accept salvation. This
       leads to some people wanting to be saved, but waiting.
       10. 1:05:51 {Clarifying a Difficult Passage} A local UMC pastor
       preached on Matthew 18: 21-35. She said scholars say that
       Matthew added verses 34-35 and that the master does not
       represent God. I've never heard this take and it sounds
       concerning. Any insight?
       11. 1:09:12 {Why Didn’t Jesus Baptize?} Why didn’t Jesus water
       baptize anyone Himself (John 4:2)?
       12. 1:13:20 {Do Not Evangelize to Some People?} Are there
       situations or groups of people for whom we shouldn't share the
       Gospel? Acts 16:6-7 seems to say so, but I'd love to hear your
       insight on the topic and your interpretation of this passage.
       13. 1:17:21 {Godly Headship Carried Out} What does a husband
       being the head of the wife actually mean he does? I don't find
       any actionable steps or clear examples in the Bible. Does he
       boss her around or just be a good man?
       14. 1:22:20 {Do We Each Have a “Calling”?} How do we know how we
       (individually) are meant to serve the Lord?
       15. 1:25:32 {Thoughts on Genesis 1/Creation} I've recently seen
       Inspiring Philosophy's video on Genesis 1. He says that it's
       most likely mirroring the near East tradition of assigning
       purpose rather than actual creation. Thoughts?
       16. 1:34:09 {Song of Solomon = Christ & Church?} I am currently
       studying Song of Solomon, and I was wondering, do you believe
       that it represents Christ and the Church? I have an issue with
       that, as the book describes a sexual relationship.
       17. 1:37:30 {Can Same-Sex Attractions Change?} I'm a Christian,
       converted this year. I've felt the Holy Spirit inspire me to
       live a better life in many ways. But I still struggle with one
       thing. I'm gay and I struggle to see how my attraction could
       change.
       18. 1:40:35 {DND, Harry Potter, etc.} The Bible is clear about
       its stance on sorcery and witchcraft. My husband and I play DND
       and some people were having an issue with this and potentially
       also with books containing magic. What are your thoughts?
       19. 1:45:39 {Godly Dating Practices} What is the best way to
       date for marriage as a Christian? Is there a good way to sift
       through people to find someone equally yoked?
       20. 1:49:05 {Loving the Lord with Everything} I’ve been
       wondering about the great commandment Jesus gives in Matthew 22:
       36. Seems like a Deuteronomy 6 quote, but why does Jesus change
       the last quality from “might” to “mind”?
       Bonus Q! 1:52:02 Were they really taking the Hobbits to
       Isengard?
       Here's Christopher Yuan's book "Holy Sexuality"
  HTML https://amzn.to/3O6tr1g
       (affiliate link)
       To ask a question all you need to do is wait till after the
       stream starts (which means waiting until I'm actually on screen
       talking), post a question in the live chat with a Q at the
       opening of it, and be as clear as you can. Thanks!
       Today's stream is going to start off with a verse that I only
       recently realized I had used wrongly for years. It's not
       clickbait, this is a bit embarrassing but a good lesson for me
       to share with others.

       Romans 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it
       is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
       to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
       17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith
       to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
       18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
       ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
       unrighteousness;
       19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
       for God hath shewed it unto them.
       20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
       world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are
       made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are
       without excuse:

       [/move]
       SNIPPET:
       C.S. Lewis wrote, “What is cast (or casts itself) into hell is
       not a man: it is ‘remains’... To be an ex-man or ‘damned
       ghost’—would presumably mean to consist of a will utterly
       centered in the self and passions utterly uncontrolled by the
       will” (The Problem of Pain, 113-114). If Lewis is right, then
       seeing ex-humans with uncontrolled wills will do much to help us
       understand why they are lost.

       In this video, [glow=teal,2,300][b]Dr. Gary Habermas
       &#128330;&#65039;[/glow], a leading expert on the
       [glow=limegreen,2,300]resurrection[/glow] of
       [glow=limegreen,2,300]&#9757;&#127995; Jesus[/glow], presents
       [glow=purple,2,300]five historical facts[/glow] that occurred
       within six years of the crucifixion.[/b] He shows how these
       facts are based on early and eyewitness sources that are not
       biased or circular, but are [glow=purple,2,300]accepted by most
       scholars today.[/glow] He also explains how these facts point to
       the reality and significance of the resurrection as the central
       event of Christianity. This video is from his talk at the 2022
       National Conference on Christian Apologetics hosted by Southern
       Evangelical Seminary. Watch this video to learn more about the
       evidence for the resurrection and how it can transform your life
       and faith.
