Idle Holiday Chat

Faith Debate: Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland

.

Does salvation by Jesus Christ necessarily mean that someone absolutely must hear the specific details of the gospel preached before they can enter heaven? Or can a person be saved by God despite limitations in precise understanding of the Bible?

Also, when was Jesus born? How many wise men were there? What are some signs of the return of Messiah? Why do some holiday practices become Christmas traditions? And what motivates our plans for the future?

Rewards in Heaven

Faith Debate: Sunday, October 28th, 2007

930 WFMD in Frederick, Maryland

.

"The Elephant in the Living Room" is a story about ignoring (and even accepting) the unacceptable. This Faith Debate show uses this illustration to discuss changes - including societal shifts from toleration, to acceptance, to celebration (and even participation) in what is ungodly.

The panel then ends with an examination of the Quiz Farm Theology Quiz (which claims to reveal which theologians we are most like). One of the questions is, "Will God reward Christians in Heaven for the good works they've done on Earth?"
