Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c">0:00</a> - Intro 1. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=56">0:56</a> {“Work Out” My Salvation??} What does it mean to "work out your salvation with fear and trembling"? Is that a literal statement? 2. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=1214">20:14</a> {Did Jesus Bodily Rise if He Appeared in the Flesh?} Jehovah's Witnesses claim that Jesus was resurrected as a spirit only (not a bodily resurrection) since He appeared in a locked room, and if He was in the flesh He couldn't have done that. What are your thoughts in response to this? 3. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=1506">25:06</a> {Honoring Parents through Marital Friction} How can I honor and love my parents biblically when they take offense at and criticize my wife and I for every little thing we do? It's making my wife anxious, and we're going to have a baby. We want a relationship with them, but they seem committed to bitterness. 4. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=1844">30:44</a> {Can Non-Believers bear the Fruit of the Spirit?} Can someone who is not a Christian show the fruit of the Spirit? 5. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=2068">34:28</a> {Will Sharing Tough Truth Ruin our Witness?} I'm afraid to talk about issues like abortion, LGBT, etc. for fear that I'll turn people off so much that they won't listen AT ALL when I try to share the Gospel. How can I resolve this? 6. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=2634">43:54</a> {How Do We “Abstain from Blood” Today?} How, as 21st century Christians, should we understand the decree for gentile believers to abstain from blood (Acts 15: 20, 28, 29)? 7. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=3208">53:28</a> {Are there Really Any “Righteous” People?} Do the Righteous live by faith, or is no one Righteous? How do we reconcile these ideas without compromising their original meaning? 8. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=3518">58:38</a> {Does Sincerity = Salvation?} I have a Muslim friend that I speak with regularly about God. I am a firm Christian, but I question how other God-fearing people who have been indoctrinated into a specific religion are not saved. 9. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=3857">1:04:17</a> {Could the HS be Feminine?} Could the Holy Spirit be feminine? A biblically sound, wiser, older Christian in my life is unsure about this. He brings up decent arguments affirming this view, but then there's John 15: 26. Thoughts? 10. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=4141">1:09:01</a> {Has God Hidden What We Need to Know?} What are your thoughts on Mathew 11: 25? I was raised in the Branham cult where there is a great deal of anti-intellectualism. They also claim that God has blinded most Christians from Branham. 11. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=4481">1:14:41</a> {Will We Receive Anything We Ask of God?} The Bible says, “Ask and you shall receive.” I asked Jesus to save my mother, but He didn’t. Then why did He say, “Ask and you shall receive”? 12. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=4863">1:21:03</a> {Resolving Translational Differences} Why does 1 Corinthians 11: 16 seem to have opposite meanings depending on the translation? How should we understand it? 13. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=5070">1:24:30</a> {Missing Verses? Is My Bible Reliable?} I've just learned that some Bibles are missing passages. How should we approach the Bible knowing some verses have been left out? 14. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=5547">1:32:27</a> {Why Is There Still Evil on Earth?} My 10-year-old wants to know, if Satan was defeated, then why is there still evil on the planet? I couldn’t think of a good way to answer her. Help? 15. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=5803">1:36:43</a> {What is “Hyper-Charismatic”?} Please explain what "hyper-charismatic” means. Thank you. 16. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=5967">1:39:27</a> {Why was Achan’s Household Punished?} Ezekiel 18: 20 says that the son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father. How do you explain the story of Achan in Joshua 7: 25 where he and his household were stoned and burned because of his sin? 17. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=6437">1:47:17</a> {Did YHWH Lose to the “god” of Moab?} Did Yahweh lose to the god of Moab in 2 Kings 3: 27? 18. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=7134">1:58:54</a> {Is There a Temple in Heaven?} Is there a literal temple in Heaven, or is that meant to be understood figuratively? I have always understood that the temple/tabernacle on Earth were to represent truths about Heaven. 19. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=7194">1:59:54</a> {Using Time Wisely in Marriage} My husband likes to spend hours on meaningless videos or gaming. How can I talk to him about how he spends his time as a Christian, especially that our young kids see this? 20. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI5zzoYyl0c&t=7344">2:02:24</a> {Why is Bible Reading Important?} How is it important to read our Bibles outside of the church setting?

I was living in terrible sin and I was confronted by a believer about it with revelation and the scripture about the lake of fire. It was harsh, but that scripture never left my heart and God used it years later to bring me to repentance and conviction later in my life. I went to my first Bible study wearing a shirt with a baby demon on it. Please don’t hold back with sharing God’s word with lost people. It’s active and alive and is what changes men’s hearts from the inside.

For a personal answer to number 20: When I've spent time reading and studying the Bible daily, and especially when reading through whole books of the Bible in short amounts of time, I've been the most at peace, in love with God, in awe of God's holiness, and strengthened in my faith. Reading the Bible on your own is a wonderful blessing we get to do. Why would you limit eating to once a week when you could do it daily and be healthier and stronger that way? God is so gracious to us!
