Tuesday January 21, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,044. Genre: Speech.

* Dr White gives commentary on a church asking it's older members to leave because they are focusing on attracting younger people.

* Why is it so hard to nail down when the church started and why does it matter?

* My good friend thinks that the Great Commission applies to Christians today. What would you say to him?

* Some church members like social visits from the pastor. What percent of the time should pastor study versus other duties?

* Is it okay for a Christian to pursue a career in modeling or entertainment?

* What is the general schedule for the conference in Branson? My wife and I are probably going to drive over from Nebraska and we were just wondering if we should bring the kids or not.

* Did the early church in the book of Acts teach solely on love or on the righteousness and day of judgment? So many tell me just preach on love and the church did that.

* The assumption of cessationism:  Is it a reaction to excess and extremism among some continuationists, or is it possible that some things have ceased but some continue if they who have seen Jesus have seen the father and he is the same yesterday today and forever? Didn't Jesus show us how God deals with people even today?

* Dr White's commentary on this post from a listener: " When our home church sent us to establish and pastor the Victory Baptist Church we decided to preach the gospel to every creature and teach the Bible to anybody willing to come and learn."

* Do you think we could even consider a church that follows a church business growth model a real church in New Testament sense? Church today is a quick easy money maker.

* Would you say that Acts 2:4 "filled with the Holy Spirit" was a permanent indwelling for those people or just a temporary tongues event?

* Please define antinomianism. Are you an antinomist? A teacher on YouTube I respect as far as I can tell would dispute some of your teaching but I'm open to learning all sides.

* Are those individuals saved, unsaved, scattered, smothered, tribulation Saints? Who are they? (Hebrews 6: 4-6)

Monday January 20, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,043. Genre: Speech.

* Yesterday we sang Reckless Love in our service and then it goes on to talk about how the pastor then referenced God's reckless love. I've tried to research in the Bible any terms that would reference God's love as reckless without care or consequences and couldn't find any. I take concern in calling God's love reckless. I think God knows his love has no consequences just unconditional greatness and healing. Am I reading too much into it or do you think this is something that we should take into consideration when speaking of God's love?

* What are your thoughts on John Bunyan's theology, especially Pilgrims Progress?

* Do you think there's any significance that cherubim were used to keep Adam and Eve out of the garden and later they were placed on the mercy seat?

* Dr White provides more commentary on Reckless Love and Pilgrim’s Progress based on comments from the chat room.

* Can you comment on Numbers 13:33 (Sons of Anak)

* Comparing Deuteronomy 33:2 with Acts 7:53 and Gal 3:19, along with Jude 14 and 15, it seems that angels can be referred to as Saints.

* Dr White provides commentary on: preacher planned services of the past to worship leaders now planning services.

* I notice you make use of other translations. What's your opinion concerning the King James Version?

* What are your thoughts on James Koon's social justice theology?

* Do you think that Paul was describing believers or unbelievers in 2 Tim 4:3-4 when he talked about departing with itching ears?

* I've heard said before that God is at work in the world today. Is it accurate to say this?

* In 1 Peter does Babylon mean Babylon, or Rome Babylon mean Babylon?

Friday January 17, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,042. Genre: Speech.

* When Jesus said, “For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light”, is that specifically referring to Himself or does He have implications for Jewish believers? Reference Mat 11:28-30.

* In Romans 10:9-10 it’s always bugged me that it says to confess with your mouth when there were people not able to speak. What about Jesus confirming to the fathers the dumb would speak in Isaiah 35:6?

* Could you repeat the Jewish internet source to find questions about the OT?

* What is meant in Genesis 9:27, “God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.”?

* Do you know of any good interactive Bible History Atlases online?

* In Wesleyan circles it is often taught that Romans 7 is parenthetical and is Paul’s testimony of his experience while still under the law. What is your take and how to refute if this is correct?

* Cornelius was clearly a Gentile, he feared God and did good works, but that is all the Bible says about him except that is was Italian. The Bible does not say he was converted so how would this be consistent with Dispensationalism?

* Any thoughts on why Noah had only 3 children in 500 years?

* What about the guy in a grass skirt with a nose ring down in the Amazons that’s never seen a Bible or heard the truth, is there any hope for them?

* Is this, Deuteronomy 32:8, a reference to Genesis 11 before Israel was a nation?

Thursday January 16, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,041. Genre: Speech.

* Commentary on Proverbs 31 Ministries.

* When Jesus was on earth, he told certain people their sins were forgiven. Does this mean they were right with God and no longer needing to follow the law?

* What do you think Nicodemus in John 3:16 understood the word “WORLD” to mean? All Jews, all circumcised, all uncircumcised?

* If the following principles were maintained; 1) Jesus spoke John 3:16 to Nicodemus, 2) the word “WORLD” means all humans at all times, could Dispensational Theology be maintained?

* Comment: Another great error of the evangelicals is to get a person saved under Paul’s gospel, but then take them back to the gospels on how to live.

* Is there a difference between the “forgiveness of sins” and “all sins forgiven” i.e. forgiveness of sins committed to that point, not all sins forward?

* Can you state your position on the KJV?

Wednesday January 15, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,040. Genre: Speech.

* David describes God’s reign and kingdom in 1 Chronicles 29:10-12 which seems to include heaven and earth. What is your opinion of those verses?

* Do you think Jeremiah just remembered all the words that God originally gave him to rewrite after Jehoiakim burned the roll in Jeremiah 36:27-32 or could this possibly be re-inspiration?

* One day is as a thousand years to God, but surely when Jesus said I come quickly He didn’t mean that. Is it possible that He really thought He would be coming right back, until Steven happened?

* Are we in the times of the Gentiles now?

* Mark 9:1. Was Jesus’ promise that some disciples would not die until they saw the kingdom of God come with power fulfilled in the transfiguration and was that a preview of the millennium?

* What are your thoughts on the JEDP theory?

* Time to question the assumption of the Gospel of John and maybe the Synoptics were just for Israel?

* If a form of Dispensational Theology requires John 3:16 and many other passages to be understood and later (Pauline) additions, should we question the assumption that the Gospel of John and maybe even the Synoptics were spoken/written only to Israel? What if John 3:16 was spoken by Jesus to Nicodemus?

* Our church is starting 3 months of training so we can mentor other believers, your thoughts please?

* When thinking of texts such as John 3:16 the word "believeth" is key to its proper placement dispensationally, believe WHAT? At the time Jesus is speaking He had not yet died; therefore, it could not be, believe in His death, burial, and resurrection. It had to be, believe that He was indeed the Christ (Messiah).

* Comment on discipleship.

* In Isaiah 40:22 is the “circle” there an actual circle or is it a sphere, or looking down at a sphere so it looks like a circle or other?

Tuesday January 14, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,039. Genre: Speech.

* I heard Peter Ruckman say it’s possible that the Great White Throne wasn’t only for unbelievers, but also for the Tribulations Saints. Any thoughts?

* In Psalm 136:19-20 Sihon and Og are mentioned in relation to Israel going into the land. What reason do you think those two kings are specifically referenced?

* What news outlets or websites do you use to keep informed regarding current events?

* Where do I find session 1 of A Prophesy Primer in YouTube?

* I was scrolling through the Dispensational Publishing House website and I noticed a series of books titled “Unusual Bible Interpretations”. It sounds interesting, could you speak on this series?

* Jesus says in Matt 22:28 that this guy’s wife in the resurrection will be like the angels. Didn’t he say for all of eternity. Did he mean all eternity or just that 1 day when the resurrection happens?

* What are your thoughts on Lysa TerKeurst's book, "It's Not Supposed to Be This Way"?

* The Amorites were giants and were supposed to have been destroyed by Joshua. He failed. Didn’t this lead to the story of David and Goliath?

* How do you answer when you say teach the word only and don’t use movies, TV, etc., and someone brings up Paul and Mars Hill?

* Are all of Bullinger's notes in the companion bible available in LOGOS? Is the hard copy better?

Monday January 13, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,038. Genre: Speech.

* Why did the wise man bring gold, frankincense, and myrrh to Jesus after he was born?

* Can you please give your thoughts on the dating of the Epistle of James?

* What version of the Septuagint do you recommend?

* What do you see as the greatest danger to fundamental Christians today and a great encouragement?

* Is Psalm 19:7-9 talking about the Bible being perfect or the law being perfect? I've seen it used as proof that the Bible is perfect, but this one seems to be talking about the law.

* Who in your opinion are solid teachers and authors on eschatology and ecclesiology?

* Do you believe the Antichrist could be identified before the rapture, or must it take place after the rapture? Is he the Beast of Revelation 13? If so, will he be seen physically with seven heads?

* It appears that the Jews were expecting the Christ to be the Son of God (Mark 14:61).  Am I right? It does seem strange because they are expecting a man now.

* I heard Peter Ruckman on tape say it's possible that the great white throne judgment wasn't only for unbelievers, but also for the tribulation saints and they will be judged for their works. Any thoughts?

* In Psalm 136 Sihon and Og are mentioned in relation to Israel going into the land (vs 19-20). Other than being together why do you think these two kings are specifically referenced?

* There are some who teach that women will not be in heaven, teaching they will be changed into men. In support of this they ues the example that the angels are all male. What's your comment on this?

Friday January 10, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,037. Genre: Speech.

* Commentary from Dr. White on President Trump’s decision to order the Department of Education to remove Federal government requirements from K through 12 grades.

* How important is eschatology when it comes to right division?

* Commentary from Dr. White about Ben Shapiro and his tv show.

* When did you first adopt the principle of questioning the assumptions?

* Should the historical evidence which suggest the books of Matthew and Hebrews were originally written in Hebrew and then translated into Greek affect our exegesis?

* Would you consider modalism a rank heresy? Could someone be saved who purposely embraces that position?

* How well-known was the Hebrew language during the time of Jesus? In acts one superscription above the cross was in Hebrew.

* Dr. White makes more comments about the government controlling the school system.

* In Revelation 20:14 is the word ‘death’ a what or a who?

* Dr. White comments on Modalism and Calvinism.

* Is it semantics when one says dispensationalism is not a hermeneutic but a system of theology derived from a consistent literal hermeneutic?

Thursday January 9, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,036. Genre: Speech.

* What is Siyum HaShas?

* Why would the ‘compilers’ call the fourth Gospel the Gospel of John? I heard it was written after John’s epistles? (1 John, etc.)?

* Ultimately, isn't the Holy Spirit the true author of every book of the Bible? Does the human writer really matter?

* Do you know of an Old Testament verse that says someone will physically die just to have sins forgiven?

* In Genesis 24:60 they use the word ‘millions’. This is the only use of this word in the KJV that I see. In the book of Revelation 9:16 it says ‘..two hundred thousand thousand…’ (in other words a 200 million man army). I’m just curious why they didn’t use the word ‘millions’ in the book of Revelation? Is it true that the Greek language has a maximum number of 10,000 or 100,000?

* Should the Old Testament verses regarding treatment of the ‘wayfarer’ and ‘alien’ force believers to speak out/protest the supposed ‘cages’ on the American border?

* How were Gentiles in the Old Testament saved?

* Did the issue of righteousness continue to effect Israel, concerning the Gospel of the Kingdom, to uphold the requirements of that gospel?

* Has the nation of Israel, as God's peculiar people, been temporarily set aside today during the dispensation of grace? If so, must we support Israel from a biblical perspective, or rather as a friend and ally?

* What was Charles Ryrie’s position on Calvinism?

* Any guess on why God would impose such a strenuous law, only to do away with it at a later date? In other words, why bother in the first place?

* What are your thoughts on the rabid antisemitism coming from the New Fundamentalist Baptist Church such as the pastor out in Tempe? What is a good biblical approach to answering their view on Israel/Jews?

* I’m not convinced that God exactly wanted Israel to go under the Law at all, but rather He wanted Israel to be honest in the desert and to admit that they need Him to do all of it for them by His goodness and grace and never out of their own performance. God showed them on several occasions when journeying in the desert that they couldn’t follow the simplest of rules. How could God expect Israel to produce their own righteousness?

Wednesday January 8, 2020 (Ask the Theologian) from Ask The Theologian by Dr. Randy White. Released: 2020. Track 1,035. Genre: Speech.

* If we are not judged and our sins are not imputed, why is God's wrath against all ungodliness, unrighteousness, and the list of sins given in Romans chapter 1:18-20?

* Do you think it's possible the men of Acts 15:1 were saved under Peter’s gospel? Do you think Peter preached circumcision until he heard Paul's defense at the Jerusalem Council and then changed his theology in Acts 15:11?

* In Genesis 3:15 the seed of a woman is singular thus the seed of the serpent is also singular. Is this Antichrist more than a human born of a fallen angel?

* Can you tell me where death is found in Revelation 20:13-14?

* Peter shouldn't have been surprised that the Gentiles were now being brought into the kingdom program. Wasn't that the so-called Great Commission?

* Do you think Romans is the most important book to believers of this dispensation because it tells Jews and the Gentiles alike who they are in Christ and who God through Christ is for all?

* How does one rightly divide the Bible to figure out what parts are speaking to us in the here and now?
