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?

HTML https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHsF2AppZDY7p1wGK0BwahuZ
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"

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.

As [glow=teal,2,300]John Lennox[/glow] 🕊️ says,

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:

🕊️ (The Weight of Glory and Other Addresses, 45)
[/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.

the reality and significance of the resurrection as the central
