Monday March 9, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,074. Genre: Speech.

* Does Satan, or a demon, or any created spirit have a physical body?

* Do you believe that Cleopas, in Luke 24:18, is the same as Cleophas in John 19:25? If they are the same persons, then would that not make the people mentioned in Luke 24:13 and Mark 16:12 a husband and wife?

* Are there groups claiming to be Christians who explicitly not passively reject Pauline doctrine?

* Who are the men in Acts 1:10? Are they similar to the men in Genesis 18:2 to possibly the witnesses of the Revelation?

* What verses most convince you salvation cannot be lost? How do you make sense of verses which indicate that salvation can be lost such as the one about being impossible to renew them that's in Hebrews chapter 6?

* Are demons fallen angels or something else in Jude?

* Cosmologists, physicists, etc. now say they think 80% of the universe is comprised of what they call dark matter, and this material possesses dark energy. They cannot see this matter they extrapolate that it does indeed exist because they seem to be able to observe and measure the effects of it, so even science now admits we cannot perceive a substantial component of our universe but they know it's out there. Any thoughts on this?

* Do you think we might think about the difference of physical reality compared to spiritual reality could we think of such things in terms of dimensions?

* Is Israel's promised Kingdom without end or is it limited to the thousand-year millennial period as typically preached?

* The Calvinists “preservation of the Saints” is not really eternal security?

* Can demons ever have children again?

Thursday March 5, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,073. Genre: Speech.

* Converge Conference commentary.

* Recently a pastor whose church website says they are "affiliated" with Converge lead a "Prayer Conference" at the church that made the movies (Sherwood, Albany, GA). Your thoughts?

* How do you define the difference between the spiritual & physical worlds? Or do you differentiate between the physical and the spiritual at all?

* Do you believe that a person gets a new spirit nature when they get “saved?”

* When someone tells me a loved one of theirs has died is it okay to ask if they trusted Jesus?

* What are your thoughts on conditional ISM? I watched the lecture by Edward Fudge and while I do not agree with his conclusion, I found it less heretical than I expected.

* Were the boys in the Bible who were killed by bears little boys or were they were actually young men?

* Do you teach or put any emphasis on progressive sanctification?

* Who is the Israel of God in Galatians 6:16?

* Who do you identify with, I see you somewhere between a hyper dispensationalist and a Baptist? What other Bible teachers teach the same theology that you teach?

* Do you think God designed different views on theology to keep us talking about Him?

* Was the serpent in Genesis 3 a snake or a shining one? It seems Eve would have been a little more susceptible of a talking snake since the scripture doesn't really mention other talking creatures other than a donkey.

Wednesday March 4, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,072. Genre: Speech.

* Commentary on group think.

* Please explain Matt 11:11. Why is John the Baptist rated so low, isn't he in the Kingdom too?

* Isn't it important to tarry at prayer? And might a desired outcome be based on prayer or lack of?

* How quickly should a young, new pastor change things within his church after taking a pastoral position?

* When we separate the pronouns in Paul's epistles could the "we" be Paul and those who were traveling with him? And could the "you" and "ye" be his audience?

* With our government the way it is, is this country in serious trouble? I believe the battle is severe, and we are losing ground daily!! How can we change the direction drastically from the current course?

* Since the Scripture said in Revelation 1:19 that John would see things “which shall be hereafter”, how do postmillennial get around a date of around AD90-95 for the book of a Revelation? That means, what was talked about as “hereafter” in Revelation was after AD70. I’m assuming postmillennial preterist argue for an earlier date for the writing of Revelation.

* In 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 is Paul is including himself in the resurrection?

* When President Obama was elected, conservatives mocked his supporters who seemed to treat him almost as a savior. Where is the line when support for a president can become borderline idolatry? Can we say President Trump supporters get obsessed and become unhealthy?

* We desperately need a few good real pastors up here in Smithville whom “rightly divide” the Word of God, any suggestions? Sadly, we can't find even one!!

* Are there no more saints after Paul's time?

* Is there a difference between "Spiritual blessings" and "physical blessings? Israel was certainly promised and will receive physical blessings.

* Do you believe we’re living in the last of the last days? I think we are, but what is your opinion?

* Would you say that Converge is a Drucker/Warren church growth, ecumenical group?

Tuesday March 3, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,071. Genre: Speech.

* Is there a conflict in the time of crucifixion between John 19:14 and the Synoptics?

* Why did David choose five smooth stones?

* Why are pastors “rightly dividing the word of truth” teaching that Peter and the whole little flock are in the body of Christ?

* Romans 16:4 mentions the churches of the Gentiles. Does this infer that there are Jewish churches? If so, which ones are they?

* Do you think that “sinner” is not used in the Greek NT as a noun? My Strong’s Concordance has it listed as a noun in some verses. Some think “sinner” is never to refer to man’s identity and is just a “total depravity” doctrine from Beza & Calvin.

* What is your opinion on the idea that Mary was somehow a perpetual virgin? Do you see Jesus siblings listed in Matthew 13:55 as his younger or older siblings or even cousins?

* Have you done much study into Calvinistic determinism and its connection to Augustine and Manichean Gnostics?

* Is it possible the giants were part of the Nephilim? If the Canaanites were from this line this might fit.

* Have you ever heard of the alternative view of “the order of Melchizedek” where there is a people line/order that goes eventually to John the Baptist, then John hands off the “baton” to Jesus? That “baton” transfer from John the Baptist would have happened at the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan.

* Should I vote for Baptist Pastor, Jeff Bailer in the Primaries today for the MA State Committee today?

* Can you give scriptures to support Joseph having a wife before Mary?

Monday March 2, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,070. Genre: Speech.

* Did God create the other planets for man to live on?

* You previously stated that Melchizedek is the preincarnate Christ because he doesn't have a father, but because Christ does have a mother and father does that change your deduction?

* Some teach Israel, after Acts 7, had committed the unpardonable sin and could no longer receive forgiveness. However, does not Romans 11:23 indicate that Israel could still "get right" if they remain not in unbelief? It appears to me that the unpardonable sin was not laid to Israel's account until after Acts 28 in answer to Stephen's prayer, otherwise, Romans 11:23 would have no meaning?

* I recently heard Gary DeMar say that Matt 24:34 was a key point to rejecting dispensational premillennialism. Can you explain that passage from a dispensational perspective?

* Is it possible that the devil will deceive, during the tribulation, with the message of the Body of CHRIST as he now deceives with the message of the law?

* I’ve always considered the late Adrian Rogers more of an SBC fundamentalist than an evangelical. He seemed to have a heart for soul winning, separation, and commitment to Scripture authority.

* I heard a motivational/condemnation service at a local undercover Calvinist SBC church yesterday. It seems that our purpose for life as a Christian is to 'do' evangelism. Everybody must serve the Lord this way. Can a believer be saved for the purpose of salvation from hell and to have peace with God and to know Him, only? Or are we saved 'to serve'?

* In Colossians 1:14, Is the word “redemption” related to the inheritance of the Saints in vs 12?

* What, in your opinion, is one of the things a new believer in Christ should be taught?

* Who, in your opinion, was the one single person (not counting yourself) who got the complete Bible message closest to being right (both old and New Testament)?

* Can you tell me the saving Gospel again? I just love to hear it over and over again!

* How will the antichrist “think to change times” during the tribulation (Daniel 7:25)?

* Will the 'sheep' (Jews as per your teachings) be 'Christians' in the millennium?

* As a follow up on the question about the unpardonable sin. Many disagree with your answer and teach that Peter, James, and John continued to preach the Kingdom Gospel after Acts 7. I don't understand how they think the kingdom gospel could be preached if all hope for Israel repenting and the kingdom being set up had passed? Did they not preach, "Repent, the kingdom is not at hand?"

Friday February 28, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,069. Genre: Speech.

* Questioning the assumptions about the assumptions of Dispensationalism from my Calvinist friend cont.

* How do you suggest one witness to someone who believes in a God, but not in the Bible?

* What kind of prophetic gift did Timothy have?

* How old where you when you got saved? How old were you when you read the entire Bible? How many times have you read the entire Bible?

* Is the command to believe in Acts 16:31 different from the to believe in John 3:14-15 where it is pictured as being healed by a onetime look not an ongoing staring at the serpent? Can’t the present tense, depending on the context, also convey a one-time action? Such as, John 3:13, he that came down, is not in the aorist but a one-time action as no man accented, but he that came down.

* Is it fairly possible for a person to learn Biblical Greek on his own without going to a Bible college? What learning materials/computer software would you recommend if you think it is so?

* If the church does not inherit anything spiritual what are we "heirs" of in Rom 8:17?

Thursday February 27, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,068. Genre: Speech.

* Questions from my Calvinist friend cont.

* Based on 1 Cor 13:13, 1 Cor 14:1 Definitions: Faith=How we are saved. Hope=What we look forward to (Glorification). Charity=Our desire for others to be saved. Prophet=One who accurately transmits the Word of GOD to others. Would not these verses still be relevant today?

* What are your thoughts on marking and highlighting a Bible? Do you markup your Bible? Is there value in doing so?

* Who are the wild olive branches grafted in?

* Do you think that we are seeing any relevant bible prophecies being fulfilled today during the Mystery Dispensation?

* God gave the same commands for all: What about the Acts 15 council?

* Do you see that the Law and Israel as "The Womb" for GOD to be born to the world?

* Is not Rom 15:9 connected to 15:8 as both verses answer the one question of why Christ came? In your defense of what seems to be slouching towards Bullingerism you quoted verse 8 not 9.

* How did Lent come about? Is it from paganism or from the Council of Nicaea which incorporated into Catholicism?

Wednesday February 26, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,067. Genre: Speech.

* Questions from a Calvinist friend.

* Do you think Bernie, the socialist, Sanders will get the Democratic nomination and if he does do you think he has a shot at beating Trump? Will it be a Trump landslide?

* How did you come to right division?

* What must be present in a church worship service for it to truly be considered a Biblical church service?

* I talked to someone that said they couldn’t sin because Christ is “in” them and Christ cannot sin. Can you comment?

* What are your thoughts on U.F.O.'s, and where do you think they come from?

* Noah took clean and unclean animals with him into the ark, God used animal skins to cloth Adam and Eve, and Able's offering was more perfect, but when do you speculate that a "list" of clean and unclean animals came into being?

* Did you ever talk with Ross and Reid about their use of 'accurately handling' rather than the KJV 'rightly dividing' in 2 Tim 2:15?

Tuesday February 25, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,066. Genre: Speech.

* Commentary on, do we have to have a reason for living?

* In your book, The Bible Graphically Presented, you have 1st, 2nd, 3rd John written before AD 70 and the Gospel of John written afterward. This conflicts with many commentaries who have all of Johns writings occurring after 70 AD. I believe that the time of the writings can change the way these are interpreted. My question is why you have 1st, 2nd, 3rd John as being written before 70 AD?

* The SBC passed a resolution in 1995 repenting of racism, apologizing to, and asking forgiveness from all African Americans. What do you think about individual Christians and Christian organizations apologizing for sins from the distant past or things happening today? This practice doesn’t seem to be biblical.

* Based on our understanding from Galatians that putting oneself or others under the law is putting people under a curse, can someone be saved and at the same time under a curse?

* Do you believe that the coming antichrist will be Judas Iscariot since they are both called “the son of perdition” (John 17:12; 2 Thessalonians 2:3)?

* While we are not under law, how important is it for the church to assemble on Sunday? Is it a good idea for somebody to go to a Saturday night service instead of Sunday when they could?

* Reading some free grace folk. I’m confused about this “intellectual assent” debate regarding saving faith.

* My pastor is in Galatians 5:16-26 and with verses 19-23 he states, "Following the Spirit I am conflicted yet chosen." I assume this was a Calvinist plug, but how can he suggest that here?

* Is the confession of sin and seeking forgiveness of God a part of the Pauline program? Didn't the finished work of Christ deal with the sin issue? Would it not be better today to apologize to the Father and the Spirit for bringing Him grief?

* Can we understand, from the Bible, that Luke was saved?

* If you were a chaplain on the battlefield and had 5 minutes to share the saving gospel with someone before they died, what would you tell them?

Monday February 24, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,065. Genre: Speech.

* Commentary on the Coronavirus.

* Were the greater works that Jesus spoke of in John chapter 14:12 meant to be done in the Millennium or while he was still here on earth.

* Why was David punished for numbering at Israel?

* You were asked a question, last Friday, about could people in a works or law type Baptist Church be saved or are they going to hell? Your response danced around whether there was one way or several ways of faith in Jesus Christ for salvation. Please clear up whether there is one plan or several plans in dispensation?

* What are your thoughts on “faith promise missions giving” is it biblical?

* Some say that Solomon's Temple was on the Temple Mount, but others say it is in the City of David what are your thoughts?

* Are the lordship salvation followers still saved?

* There are some that say that the Jewish people today in Israel are not the Jewish descendants of Scripture, therefore, God's promises are no longer for them. How do you answer this?

* Will the willful apostate be saved? Can one abandon God entirely?
