  • Episode 11: Q&A

    In this episode, we answer the following questions:

    Why are you focused on the Southern Baptist Church?

    Do you have like-minded people near you, or in your church that support you and agree with the teachings you share?

    Why you? What qualifies you to correct the translations? If scholars have researched, and this translation/interpretation has been believed for hundreds of years, how can it be wrong?

    You have mentioned that prostitutes and cult prostitutes were the same. How do you know?

    Do you take the position that consent is the only sexual ethic to which modern Christians must adhere? (So as long as it is consensual, everything is okay?)

    Do you have to know the story of Jesus, his death, burial and resurrection to be saved?

    If salvation comes from loving others, does that mean it’s about works?

    When James says to be a “doer of the word” is he talking about the Bible?
