Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference

0:00 - Intro

1. 0:41 {Is All Sin the Same?} Is it biblical to say that all sin is the same, and is equally bad?

2. 14:14 {Prophets Today?} Should the Church appoint/recognize official prophets, or is this something similar to apostles (only the original 12 + Paul)? See 1 Corinthians 12: 28, Ephesians 4: 11. Is it an office, a gift, or some mixture of the two?

3. 23:01 {Why Would God Allow a Pope?} Why would Christ allow someone to be appointed as His vicar on Earth? If the authority of the pope is illegitimate, how is that not the worst manifestation of blasphemy? How is it allowed by God?

4. 29:20 {Resentful of the Father but Not the Son?} After a long and HARD life, I sometimes feel almost resentful of GOD the Father whom I’ve never seen, heard, or felt. But every day I love JESUS more and more. Is this normal?

5. 36:09 {Why Doesn’t God Save Everyone?} My brother is an atheist and says he wouldn’t follow a God that he knows is real, who knowingly creates people who will reject Him and go to Hell, despite having power to save everyone. It’s hard to reason. Thoughts?

6. 41:37 {Jesus’ Spirit Separate from HS?} Does Jesus have a distinct Spirit apart from the Holy Spirit? It seems that Jesus has His own Spirit (Luke 23: 46) that is distinct from the Holy Spirit.

7. 45:39 {Questioning our Pastors?} My pastor said that since God called him to shepherd, unless he is teaching false doctrine, you don't question your pastor even if you don't agree with something or they do something wrong. Is this right?

8. 54:15 {Advice for a Discouraged Pastor} I’m feeling discouraged in my new job as a youth pastor. I don’t know if I’m making an impact or if I’m meant to do this. Any advice?

9. 59:57 {Transitioning from Cult to Christianity!} I’m in the process of leaving the LDS church for real Christianity (thank you for your videos!!). Do you have any advice or resources for the deconstructing and reconstructing of faith after leaving?

10. 1:08:48 {Where is Jesus “Seated”?} What does Jesus sitting at the right hand of the Father mean when it’s also said that Jesus was seated on the throne in Revelation?

I'm taking questions from the live chat... here are the rules.

I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. You're welcome to join.

To ask a question, you'll need to follow these instructions:

1. Don't post your question before you see me live on camera.

2. Post questions as comments in the LIVE chat at the beginning of the stream.

3. Post your question with "Q" at the beginning so we can easily identify that you are sending it in as a question for me and not just a comment in the chat.

4. Try to be as clear as possible so I won't misunderstand the question. Keep in mind that I don't know anything about your question other than what you type in that short comment.

5. Include specific verse references when possible or applicable.

6. Only one question submitted per subscriber, per stream, please. Submitting the same question into the chat a few times is OK.

7. Please understand that we don't strictly take the first 10 questions submitted. Our team takes several factors into consideration.

8. You can also check the "Clip Search" on BibleThinker.org in advance to see if your topic of interest has already been covered in a past session. I try not to answer the same questions over and over, so you may find what you need there.

Today I mentioned utlm.org which is Sandra Tanner’s website that I think has a lot of helpful resources on Mormonism.

My website is searchable and all the video and audio content is free BibleThinker.org
