How Could a Good God Send a Lying Spirit?

Description

Greg talks about distinguishing between descriptive and prescriptive passages, then he answers questions about a secular case against legalizing prostitution, how a good God could send a lying spirit, fulfilling a rash vow to God, and attending a wedding between a Christian and a non-Christian.

 

Topics:

  1. Commentary: Distinguishing descriptive passages from prescriptive ones (00:00)

  2. How would you make a secular case that we shouldn’t legalize prostitution? (06:00)

  3. How would you explain God being holy and good to a non-believer reading 1 Kings 22:21–23, where God sends a lying spirit? (29:00)

  4. When I thought God called me to be single, I made a vow to do it, but now that I’ve changed my mind about callings, am I still obligated to fulfill that vow? (38:00)

  5. Would it be wrong to attend the wedding of a Christian family member who is marrying a non-Christian, and if it’s wrong, what should I do if my wife wants to go? (44:00)
