Let Nothing Move You

Apologies for the audio. I had to record while on vacation and ended up in a not ideal situation to do so.

Why did God rest? What is the Sabbath for? Why does the Bible go out of order to describe man's creation? Which creation theory or hypothesis is the most accurate? What is the purpose of marriage and why did God only bring it to men and women?

What existed before the beginning of time? How does God operate outside of time itself? Was the Earth created in six literal days and a day of rest? Are the days of Genesis literal or figurative? Does God despise literal darkness? How could plants survive before the Sun was created? What purpose do the Sun, Moon, and stars serve? What makes humanity so special compared to the rest of creation? Why should we care about how we treat the planet? What is the importance behind God calling creation good and on the sixth day calling it very good? What are the roles of men and women in the world? Can we trust that Moses wrote Genesis?

How should the stronger Christian help the weaker one? How does Paul conclude that the Gentiles and Jews alike are able to worship God together as one church? When should we praise the people working in our churches and when should we chastise them? How does Paul's desire to go to Rome and Spain show how human he truly is? How can prayer cause evil to be thwarted? Can women be deacons? Who are the unsung heroes of the church and how can we praise their good work? What are the dangers of allowing false teachers into the church? How does Romans conclude and where do we go from here?

Should the Christian blindly follow the government of the country they live in? Is it ever okay to rebel against authority? Did God raise every leader in existence? What can we learn from the people of God who have rebelled against authority? How does love fulfill the law? How can we resist the flesh? Why should we care about the opinions of a "weaker" Christian? What is the difference between a weaker and stronger Christian? How can we love those who don't agree with us? Is it possible to have unity there?

What does it mean to be a living sacrifice to God? Why should we not conform ourselves to this world? How difficult is it to discern what comes from God? What is the importance of spiritual gifts? Why do some people only have so many of them? How many spiritual gifts can someone have? Do spiritual gifts still exists? What is your spiritual gift? How can you find out which one you have? How can we love each other effectively? Why should Christians not seek revenge? Why is fighting evil with evil antithetical to the gospel of Jesus Christ?

What is the difference between seeking God intellectually and seeking God personally? What does it mean to confess that Jesus is Lord with our mouths? Will everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord be saved? Has God rejected the Jewish people? Will there always be a remnant of God's people in the world? Does God deliberately cloud people's minds or does He simply abide by the choices and decisions they make? What does it mean for the Gentile to be grafted onto the tree of Israel? What does it mean for all of Israel to be saved?

How is it possible for us to be free from sin? What happens when Christian accidentally substitutes the word "sin" for "spirit"? Hilarity ensues, of course! What is predestination and what is the difference between solely believing it or free will? If God is for us then who can be against us? Why would God love Jacob, but hate Esau? Who does Esau represent? How do the Joker, Harley Quinn, The Hunger Games, and Satan in Paradise Lost factor into this episode? Is God cruel if He creates people destined for destruction? Did God brainwash Pharaoh?

Should we sin since we're covered by grace? Why is it wrong to do so? What does God have to say about that? What are the limits of human speech in helping us understand the matters of the Trinity and more? Are the wages of sin really death?

What happens when Christian is still recovering from a cold/fever/migraine/allergy deluge of evil maladies while he needs to record early because he'll be at Disney and will still feel bad while there because of that very same deluge of evil maladies? This episode! How does circumcision effect the biblical patriarchs who never underwent it or does it matter at all? Did David or Abraham have anything to boast about before God? What made Abraham righteous before God? What does it mean to have peace with God? If sin entered through one man, are all saved by the actions of Jesus? Is universalism a valid interpretation of Chapter 5? What's the difference between the Greek words for "all" and "the many?"

Should there be differences between Jews and Gentiles? Is there anyone who can say that they are righteous? Is God alone righteous? Is it true that everyone has fallen short of God's standards and must be punished without the sacrifice of Jesus?
