QUESTIONS  

Q1. a) Rising to power in an economically and politically unstable Germany, Adolf Hitler, who wanted to create a pure German race, rearmed the nation and signed strategic alliances with Italy and Japan to further his ambitions for world domination. Is war based on ideology right or wrong? Was it right for the Allies to intervene when Germany invaded Poland? - (00:14)
Q1. b) If it only happened in Germany, should other countries have intervened? - (06:53)
Q2. In Acts 1:8, why did Christ command His disciples to go 'in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria', since they were supposed to go anyway to 'the uttermost part of the earth'? - (28:36)
Q3. The Lord said to John, "Come forth and ye shall receive eternal life." But John came fifth and received a toaster'. Is this kind of joke sinful? What commandment does it break? - (46:45)

Bible Passage (KJV): John 7:37-53  

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.  

38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.  

39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)  

40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.  

41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?  

42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?  

43 So there was a division among the people because of him.  44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.  

45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?  

46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.  

47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?  

48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?  

49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.  

50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)  

51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?

A True Call (1 Samuel 3:1-10) 

Speaker: Reverend Joseph Poon 

Website: http://www.bpcwa.org.au/ 

====

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Samuel 3:1-10  

1 And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.  

2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;  

3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;  

4 That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.  

5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.  

6 And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.  

7 Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him.  

8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child.  

9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.  

10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

Note: Due to technical difficulties, the sound was not properly recorded and sections of the message were not properly recorded.

=====  

Bible Passage (KJV): 1 Peter 4:1-7  

1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;  

2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.  

3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:  

4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:  

5 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.  

6 For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.  

7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
