0:11 Can you give a short explanation of the discussion surrounding the new perspective on Paul that is understandable to the layperson?

14:05 What would you say to someone saying that the Holy Spirit can guide us to violence?

17:44 Does Matthew 5:41 teach we shouldn't resist evildoers at all?

19:02. Was Eve deceived because of the order of creation or because she was not instructed by God?

26:05 Another Exiles in Babylon conference in Denver?

26:50 Ephesians 4:5--is one baptism referring to water baptism or the baptism of the Holy Spirit?

27:39 Frank Turek and Paul Copan recently discussed a just war and Hamas--would you have them on your podcast? Does just war apply?

50:15 Is Genesis 2:7 analogous to I Timothy 3:16--"God breathed?"

53:02. Have there been any modern attempts at the creeds? Is the closest thing a denominational statement of faith?

54:22. What are your thoughts on Julie Rodgers' book "Outlove?"

55:57. Do you have a specific framework you use when exploring new topics? I'm interested in studying how the Bible addresses health.
