Questions Covered:

11:15 – My 104-year-old grandmothers have an appointment to be euthanized tomorrow. She is an atheist, and I was looking for some advice on how to try and help or stop her before tomorrow morning considering that it is challenging to reason with someone whose core beliefs differ so drastically. 

17:15 – A coworker gave me a new living translation of the bible but, because it is missing the books and I know does not offer the fullness of the truth how can I let him know I won’t be reading it? And what do I do with it?  

20:38 – A protestant brother had once disagreed with me over the scripture regarding the good thief. So, when two people read the same words in the Bible but believe two beliefs about it, how can we defend why our “interpretation” is correct. 

29:00 – Karlo just said the church needs to be the interpreter of the bible. In Isaiah 30:20-21, it explains the holy spirit should be guiding us directly. So, how and why should the church be the interpreter and not just the holy spirit. 

33:52 – I have a group of friends from different denominations (Quakers, Episcopalians, evangelists, Baptists, protestants etc.).

How can I explain to and defend the truth to these close friends who are also in their senior ages? 

43:25 – Can absolute truth change and/or expand?
