True Wisdom

Genesis 32:28 says: "And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed."

What does that mean?

In Genesis 32, even though Jacob has received a promise from God he and his family are going to encounter his brother whom he wronged many years before. Jacob is going to the meeting with gifts and a small group and Esau is going to the meeting with 400 men: a small army. Jacob is afraid and cries out to God. And then a fight broke out that took all night! Andrew and Robert discuss this in episode 165 of True Wisdom.

Andrew and Robert take a look at Predestination in Roman 8:26-31. What did Paul mean by "Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called..." (Romans 8:30). Do we have any choice in either we are saved or lost? They also take a look at Ephesians 1:3-6, John 1:12 and John 3:16 to answer the question: Who has God Predestined to be saved?

Do you doubt that the Bible is the word of God? A book made up of writings from different authors, over hundreds of years, with errors, surely it can't be the word of God??
Robert and Andrew read an apparent translation error in Matthew 26:17-35 to show how biblical "mistakes" are really opportunities to study and learn more about God.

Andrew and Robert cover the story in 2nd Kings 13 where King Joash misses out on an important blessing because of his lackluster response to the words from the Prophet Elisha. How does a king described as wicked even get a blessing from God? Was this a case of works or faith? How else does faith play a role in the chapter?
