#11720 Weird Questions - Jimmy Akin


Listen Later

Questions Covered:
03:44 – In the Transformers, there are a team of Constructicons where 5 robots can combine to make one giant robot. According to the official character bio, the giant robot, Devastator, has a unique consciousness that is also a composite of all 5 unique, individual robot personalities. Do you think this is a good illustration of how God works, albeit being a Quintessence as opposed to a Trinity? 
08:40 – Chiropractic. Religion? New Age wooow? Scam? 
13:15 – Most Christians I know would say “light as a feather, stiff as a board” is demons. Because, you know… If it’s not demons, is there a natural explanation for why it works? 
16:50 – What do you think the likelihood is that we will meet beings from other realities that God created when we get to heaven? Or should we expect that this is the only reality, and the sole occupants of heaven will be from this space-time continuum? 
18:23 – Why did Jesus ascend into the sky and what happened to His body? Did it disappear or do he go to other planets or outer space? 
21:14 – Was it not a good idea for Johnny to take the bet with the devil in the song “Devil went down to Georgia”, given that the Church strongly encourages not conversing with the devil or demons, even though he won the bet? 
24:03 – If humans evolved from different humanoid species in the past, at what point did we gain a soul? 
29:07 – Why did Peter put on his clothes before jumping in the water? 
31:05 – In Tobit, Archangel Raphael states that it only seemed to Tobias that he was eating, but really did not. So did Raphael atomize the food he touched when having meals with Tobias or is there another explanation? 
How would someone be able to explain that Jesus really ate with his Apostles when Archangel Raphael only made it seem like it? 
36:35 – I wonder is it a sin to be psychic? My grandmother was a very gifted psychic and a devout Catholic. This created some issues when she was criticized by the priest at church.
