Perry asks “If God created everything good, why has my suffering friend had to suffer all his life?” And Jeff, a Perry and Shawna listener asks similarly, “If God made everything, why is there death?”

Dr. J joins us to answer Bible questions! Dr. Jeremy Grinnell earned his PhD in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary in Grand Rapids, MI, and taught graduate level theology for nearly 15 years.

He answers the following Bible questions (including above) from listeners like you.

When we’re reading the Bible how can we know if the promises we’re reading are for the people they were written to, or for us? Jeremiah 29:11 for example.

Perry shares, “God put a passion in my heart for God’s word when I was 16, but I never grew in the word cause I didn’t read it till I was 18! So Jeremy talks about why reading the word is such a big deal.

Then how the scripture transforms us inside out. And Jacqueline asks, “Is the Sabbath meant only for the Jews or is for us as well?”

Next, “What does it mean in Jeremiah that God is married to the backslider?” (It’s a beautiful window in to the astonishing grace of God). And Ronda asks, “Who was the first Jew, Adam, Eve, Abraham??”

What does true Biblical repentance look like? And last Ed asks, “Were humans more wicked before the flood than we are now? And if God judged the world so severely back then and he will destroy it again with fire, what really is God’s heart toward us? I thought he’s a God of love!!”
