Lee Strobel is a former atheist and investigative journalist, who came to faith by trying to disprove the faith, which is documented in his well-known book A Case for Christ. In his most recent book, Is God Real? Lee looks at the best arguments for the existence of the God of the Bible and responds to some of the best counterarguments to this.

October 25, 2023 S2: Church and Israel, Same-sex weddings, Halloween, Authority of Scripture, Justified lies, and other questions
Welcome to a sneak peek of the Bonus Q&A episode, part of the Theology in the Raw premium subscription.

In the full episode, we discuss:

00:00 Introduction
00:35 What is the relationship between the church and Israel? Has the church replaced Israel? Should Christians be more concerned about Israel than any other country?
11:55 Where are your personal boundaries around attending/participating in a same-sex wedding? A close gay friend just got engaged, so am having to think about this. 17:49 What are your thoughts on a “justified lie”? Something like Rahab or similar situations of protecting life through lying?
21:36 Halloween, Harry Potter, etc... should we? Tolkien and Lewis are full of magic and even occultist things, but people LOVE them.
27:13 I am curious why over 80% of the LGBTQ community were raised in the church. I’m interested in your perspective.
29:26 How can we have confidence that the story of Noah is the true depiction of the flood when so many religions also have their own versions of a major flood?
34:51 Do you believe any part of the Bible is NOT God breathed? I.e. authoritative. 42:15 Is there any scriptural evidence to believe people who lack the cognitive ability (I.e. people with disabilities) to understand the Gospel will be saved?
44:38 In Mark 1, Jesus confronts many demons and those demon possessed. How did this manifest socially in the first century? Is there a modern day comparison to this?
47:56 Have there been any interviews you haven't aired or regretted airing?
50:33 As Christians, indwelled by the Holy Spirit, can we be influenced (or even possessed) by demonic beings?
53:04 Which books/arguments/places in Scripture did you find most winsome for and against just war theory and killing in self-defense?
59:09 Does God ever actively discipline Christians? If so, when and how does it happen? What does the Bible tell us about God’s discipline of Christians?
1:04:57 What do we do with prophecies in OT & NT that are unfulfilled regarding Israel? If prophecy relating to Jesus were literal shouldn’t we treat these similarly? 1:10:09 Thoughts on importance of spiritual discipline such as fasting or solitude to support and advance discipleship?
1:15:10 Rapid Fire Questions…
