Questions Covered:

  • 06:29 – Angels and humans were given free will. God doesn’t want us to go to Hell. Since he knows everything, why bother creating us if we were to choose Hell?
  • 13:00 – If natural law has existed since the beginning of time, how has Jesus written the law on our hearts?
  • 23:08 – Is the rebellion of Korah a foreshadowing of the Protestant rebellion?
  • 33:10 – Why does God allow senseless evil, such as car accidents, natural disasters, etc. to kill his people, which seems to be something that would happen in a Deistic universe?
  • 38:05 – What is a good answer to someone who says the church is not needed but only a relationship with Jesus?
  • 42:30 – Protestant constantly say that there is one mediator. How would you respond to that claim?
  • 46:54 – Lutherans say baptism forgives the sin from before and after your baptism. Why would that be incorrect?
  • 51:16 – Aren’t we supposed to pray to God in Jesus name? We are not supposed to be praying to Jesus?

    • Explore the complex interplay of free will, evil, and salvation in this insightful discussion on why God allows choices that lead to Hell.
