Is it sinful to masturbate if there are no lustful thoughts involved?

Can you explain Ezekiel chapter 37 and the valley of dry bones?

Are pastors held to a higher level of accountability? My brother-in-law thinks the Bible is contradictory because he says although we are forgiven by Jesus; there will still be a judgment when He returns. How can I reconcile this?

Does 1 Corinthians 11:29 actually teach that we can eat and drink damnation unto ourselves by taking communion without faith, or with sin in our lives?

What tools can I use to show my mother that the Bible is the inspired Word of God?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank begins with a question about so-called Replacement Theology; what it is, and whether or not he believes the Israelites are no longer Gods chosen people. This unfortunate moniker is inaccurate because those who are accused of being replacement theologians do not believe that the church replaced Israel, but rather that the church is part of true Israel. There is only one covenant community connected by the cross. Whether Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female, if you are in Christ, then you are the seed of Abraham and an heir according to the promise.

Hank also answers the following questions:

What is your view on the return of Christ; do you believe in a pre, mid, or post-tribulation rapture?

My church issued a statement saying that they wont perform same-sex unions, but they would welcome homosexuals into the church; how should I respond to this?

What is your opinion on the age of the earth? Why did God wait so long to intervene? Why has God made Himself so obscure?

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions:

Was Jesus in the spirit prior to his baptism, or was he merely a mortal human being?

If I accept contemporary scientific positions on the origins of man, including death in the evolutionary process, must I accept that God intended for mankind to suffer and die?

What are your thoughts about 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 as it pertains to the parousia of Christ, the lawless one, and the temple?

2 Corinthians 5:1 speaks of a new body. Does this mean that I will have my new body when I go to be with the Lord before the resurrection? The Bible also speaks of a new heaven and a new earth. Am I incorrect in thinking my mother is in heaven now?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses fasting, a spiritual discipline in which we master our appetites so that we may partake of heavenly manna. While food is certainly a glorious gift from the Lord; little compares with mastery over the appetites that so often seek to master us. The Apostle Paul uses the analogy of athletics in this regard, saying that we must run the race in such a way to get the prize. Wishing doesnt win a race, it requires strict training and discipline.

Hank also answers the following questions:

Reading Michael the Archangels fight against Satan in Revelation 12 makes me wonder; has this battle already taken place, or is it a battle in the future?

What are your thoughts about the mark of the beast in Revelation 13? Is it something that could be accepted accidentally?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions:

In Matthew 28:18, does this mean that the Father allowed Jesus to determine who would go to heaven or hell?

When Paul met some disciples in Acts chapter 19, he asked whether or not they received the Holy Spirit. Does this mean there could be believers today who are truly Christians but have not received the Holy Spirit?

My daughter is enrolled in a private Christian school and she stole something. I replaced the item, but she was expelled from the school and will not be allowed to return. How should I handle this situation?

Can you clarify Jesus words to His mother in John 2:4?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses how the science of genetics has been thrust upon us. The idea that a three thousand pound hippo evolved into a three hundred thousand pound whale through a series of genetic missteps is no less untenable than Darwins view that bears evolved into whales. The notion that unguided, purposeless processes changed a land-dwelling creature into a sea-dwelling, saltwater creature requires an enormous amount of faith. Many people today have simply bought into the rhetoric without looking at the evidence, which points overwhelmingly to intelligent design.

Hank also answers the following questions:

I have some concerns about baptism, Communion, and the lack of an altar call at my new church, can you advise me?

Is it okay to be a Christian and a Freemason?

Since the biggest computer in the world is called the beast and the number six corresponds to the letter W; does this mean that the mark of the beast is the World Wide Web?

A lot of my friends are dispensationalists and they also speak of UFOs being demonic; what is your take on UFOs?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank remarks on the total redefinition of the word tolerance in our culture today. Tolerance has now been defined as meaning all views and all lifestyles are equally valid, however, that would mean that Christianity is also equally valid. Yet Christianity teaches the opposite of this view in claiming that Jesus Christ is the only way. Therefore, this redefinition of tolerance is a self-refuting proposition. Todays tolerance leaves no room for objective moral judgments and if followed to its logical conclusion, cannot differentiate between terrorist attacks and the deeds of Mother Teresa. Christians must reject this notion and model true tolerance, and despite our differences, treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Hank also answers the following questions:

My undergraduate degree was in Religious Studies and I have a great desire to learn. I am considering either taking online courses or joining Bible Study Fellowship; what do you recommend?

Is speaking in tongues the only way to build up your faith?

Why did God place the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden and allow Eve to eat from it? Wouldnt it have been easier to not let all of that happen?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank addresses the question: why pray if God already knows what we need? We must remember that supplication is not the sole sum of our prayers. Prayer should be a means of pursuing a dynamic relationship with the Lover of our souls. God ordains not only the ends but also the means, and while our heavenly Father knows what we need before we ask, our supplications are an indication of our dependence upon Him and that alone should be reason enough to pray without ceasing.

Hank also answers the following questions:

I heard Elaine Pagels say Revelation was not a book of end time prophecy and was not written by the Apostle John; can you comment on this?

I was watching the film The Genesis Code, which tried to harmonize evolution and the creation account in Genesis. Was there death before Adam and Eve were created, and was Eve created after day seven?

Can you clarify your comments about the Tribulation and Jesus words in this regard? Do you think the events in the book of Revelation are going to happen in the future or not?
