The 3 Questions Podcast

1. How should I respond to the death of a person that I know died without faith in Christ?  

2. Was the city of Babylon at or near the location of the earlier tower of Babel, or do they just sound similar and have no other major connection?  

3. What is a good scripture to read and consider when I am going through suffering?

I was just wondering if there was anything else to get out of Joshua 15, where they are telling about all the land that is given, other than showing us God kept his promise? And in that same chapter, it talks about how the Jebusites were allowed to stay, and I didn’t know why that was either.

At what age should I talk with my kids about issues of sex and sexuality? 

What is the difference between psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs in Ephesians 5:19?

1. With the Olympics going on, it’s got me wondering where sports, health, and fitness fit into the biblical worldview. 

2. Of what value is “secular history” if it has nothing directly to do with Bible times or church history? (Examples: the Han Dynasty, the invention and development of the automobile, or bootlegging and the mafia during Prohibition)

3. Who are some of your favorite unnamed people of the Bible, and why? 

1. What are some valuable things that young members in the church can gain from older members, and visa versa?  

2. Why did Jesus choose Judas as an apostle, since Judas would one day betray him?  

3. I am learning to pray. What are some key factors I need to know or keep in mind? make into a short podcast title

✅ 1. Where does the Bible speak about in-laws and how do we navigate healthy relationships with them?

.✅ 2. Is today’s nation of Israel the same “Israel” referred to in Genesis 12:3 — or is that fulfilled in the Body of Christ (the Church)?

✅ 3. Why does every generation anticipate the return of Christ if no one knows when it will happen?

1. If Adam and Eve’s children married one another as siblings, why don’t siblings date and marry each other now?  

2. I know there are lots of angles and applications we could consider regarding A.I. However, in general how should we be thinking about and approaching A.I.?

 3. If Jesus is God, how could he die?

• Is it weird or hard to understand that Jesus considers all sin the same?

• My grandmother is such a good person — is it right to think of her as a sinner?

• Do we know whether Barabbas ever became a believer in Christ?

Question 1 — The Seven Spirits of God

Where can I find more information about the “seven spirits of God” mentioned in Revelation 4:5 and 5:6? I’ve heard the Book of Enoch may talk about this—does it? Is there more information elsewhere in the Bible, and is the Book of Enoch the best resource for understanding this?

Question 2 — Moses Seeing God / Christ in the Old Testament

If passages like 1 Timothy 6:16, John 1:18, John 6:46, and others say no one has ever seen God, but Exodus 33:11 says Moses spoke to the Lord “face to face,” does this mean Moses was speaking to Jesus in the Old Testament? If not, how do we reconcile these verses? And if Jesus says in John 5:46 that Moses wrote about Him, where else in the Old Testament can I look to find Jesus spoken of by Moses?

Question 3 — Four Gospel Accounts

If the Gospels are biographies of Jesus, why did God want us to have four different accounts instead of just one?

1. I’ve heard people use 2 Corinthians 8, specifically verse 8, to say that tithing to the church is voluntary, and not a requirement for believers. How do we biblically support the belief that tithing is a necessary part of a Christian’s life?

2. How did we get our 66 canonized books of the Bible? Other religions, like Catholics, have 74 I think. What criteria, method, and who determined the 66?

3. If the Bible alone is the word of God, why is it ok or even encouraged to read other books or learn from other sources?

Exodus 34 is cruising along, talking about the attributes of God—how He is compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love… and then BAM!!! All of a sudden it’s “…visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” Exodus 34:7 ESV. Seems contradictory.  How do we connect those dots?

What does Numbers 21:14 mean when it says “the Book of the Wars of the LORD”?

I think the Lord may want me to meet with a couple of other guys weekly to do some discipling. What should I be thinking about, and how should I get started?
