Questions in this Episode

1: I know some who believe that Jewish people, those who believe the Messiah is yet to come, will go to heaven because they are God's chosen people - referencing some parts in Revelation. I also know that all must get to heaven through Jesus Christ (salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone). Will all Israelites be saved in the end?"

2: Genesis 12:3 and Numbers 24:9 both mention blessings for those that bless Israel. Is this promise still in effect today?

3: How do you reconcile Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 5, along with other scriptures that say to judge righteously those who are in the body of Christ and others (like Romans 14:10) that seem to say that we should not judge?

4: What is Repentance?

5: If circumcision is a heart issue for men, what is the equivalent for women?

6: Please discuss why living together before marriage is wrong even if, hypothetically, Christian couples were to abstain from sexual relations until marriage. I hear a lot folks (including me) mainly use the argument that living together is wrong because it tempts couples to have sex (and in most cases, if not all, they end up having sex), but I’ve been in a situation when confronting a Christian couple about their cohabiting and they’ve told me they haven’t had sex. I found myself caught off guard and didn’t have good biblical arguments for why cohabiting was still wrong.

7: Where did Moses say that the Christ must suffer and rise from the dead (Acts 26:22-23)? Furthermore, how was Moses able to see the reproach of Christ (Heb. 11:26)?

8: We know Jesus' body was in the tomb the 3 days he was dead, but where was Jesus' soul during that time?

9: “How do we rightly determine what Old Testament promises apply to us as believers today?” Some of the promises, even of commonly quoted passages, seem to be in specific scenarios to Israel specifically, or are future to Israel specifically. Yet I also know from Romans 15:4 that the things that were written beforehand were written for our learning so that we can have hope, and that all Scripture is written by God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, so these promises are included in this as well.

10: Will we ever be able to see the Holy Spirit?

11: If the Trinity is all omniscient, then why/how does only God the Father know when Jesus will return?

12: Was Lot’s wife a Christian?
