As a prior catholic and a person with a heavy teachers anointing and not necessarily “prophetic” how do you overcome skepticism when it comes to acts of the spirit?

Do you think those who have specific “ministries” (I.e. healing, deliverance, etc) invite more attack than others? It seems like they are always battling/warring publicly - whereas the teaching churches don’t necessarily 

What is the difference between a Theophany & a Christophany ? - Gil

What is written about Jesus family outside of scripture? What became of his family? - Cecil

 The Bible spends a lot of scripture ensuring the reader knows who’s in the lineage of Adam ALL the way to Jacob.

Is there a purpose or reason why? - Noah

1. In Numbers 12, both Aaron and Miriam oppose Moses, but only Miriam is punished and stricken with leprosy for 7 days. It seems like we are not given the full story. Can you explain why only Miriam is punished? - Ranae Welch (APP)

2. This will come late for Christmas, but my family and I were wondering why it seems Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus stayed in Bethlehem for so long. They were living in Nazareth and went to Bethlehem for the census. They didn't even have a place to stay in Bethlehem but based on the info given to king Herod by the Magi seem to stay there for up to 2 years. Why didn't they return to their home in Nazareth after the census? - Ryan Welch (APP)

3. Where did the number 39 for the 39 lashes Jesus received come from? - Thiago Castrillo (APP)

4. Why do we not fly an American Flag in the church? - Curtis

5. If the years the locusts have eaten will be restored (Joel I think 2?) I think it’s funny John the Baptist is specifically mentioned as someone who EATS locusts. Like do they use the same Bible language word, is the writer of the books the same etc. But now I wonder if the mentions are connected. - Kat (Instagram)

6. Good evening Pastor Adam , I was hoping you could help me with a question. The question is this , is it OK to say “The” Holy Spirit or only say Holy Spirit ? in the Bible? There’s a lot of references to “The” Holy Spirit. A friend of mine mentioned we should not say the in front of Holy Spirit. But the Bible says differently.  What do you think 🤔  - Joe Esparza 


7. My niece has been tormented by nightmares… what can I do beside just pray?? - Marie



8. You mentioned during the holidays that the only witnesses at Christ birth were the Sheppards and not the magi… how is that so? - Juan



9. Is the LA fires a sign from God towards hollywoods wickedness? - KC

1. Ive been taught that Jesus was 100% God and 100% Man, I don’t doubt that, although I am curious as to why Jesus would need to be ministered too by angels.(matthew 4:11) What could Angels teach the Son of God - Noah

2. Hi Pastor Adam, Not sure if this was asked previously - apologies it was already asked. My question was about interpreting the bible in the historical context or modern context. The culture, customs etc were vastly different during the times the different books were written. 

3.Some of the teachings are relevant to the customs of those times, but would be totally out of place in today's world. Take the role of women in society (or church specifically)for example - women were expected to provide a supportive and obedient role, and any leadership role was actively discouraged. Even Paul discouraged women to have an active leadership role in the church. And that was ok because it reflected the prevailing customs of that time. However - how do we reconcile these teachings in the modern context? Do you think we should adapt the teachings of the bible to better reflect modern context? Or should we just take the spirit of teachings and the message and apply to the modern context ? Would love to hear your thoughts! BTW: I loved your message today about Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman by the well - Jesus was really beyond his times, engaging with a woman and considering her worthy of his time - talking about the nature of worship and revealing he was the Messiah, to the surprise of his disciples. And this question was triggered by that message, Pastor! - Raju

4.My question is about preaching and evangelizing to the Gentiles - did Jesus include the gentiles during his preachings? From all accounts in the Gospels, Jesus' focus was on the Jews during his teachings (although he did ask his disciples to spread the Gospel around the world in the end ). Was the idea of gentiles being included start with Peter's vision, and then Paul's travels and teachings? - Raju

5. The promise at Jesus birth was ‘peace on earth’ yet there are wars raging… isn’t that a false prophecy? From Tony from San Mateo

6. How can church be relevant still when it’s thousands of years old… nothing else from that time is relevant From Monty

7. How many prophecies did the birth, life and death of Jesus fulfill? How do we know - if you include the non-cannon books, are there even more we don’t traditionally know about?
