  Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58">0:00</a> - Intro<br>1. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=18">0:18</a> {Hell: Traditional vs. Conditional?} What is Mike’s perspective on the topic of Hell? <br>2. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=1574">26:14</a> {Marriage, Heaven &amp; Vows} Regarding 1 Timothy 5: 11-12, if there is no marriage in Heaven, and when a spouse dies we’re free to remarry, how then does a young widow break her first vow? <br>3. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=2014">33:34</a> {Purpose of the Tree of Life} If we were created as eternal beings, then what purpose did the Tree of Life hold in the Garden of Eden? <br>4. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=2160">36:00</a> {Matthew 6 – But Poverty?} How do we reconcile Matthew 6: 25-33 with the reality of poverty? I&apos;m comfortable saying &quot;even He doesn&apos;t, God is still good&quot; but this passage sounds almost Word-of-Faith. <br>5. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=2653">44:13</a> {Purgatory in the Book of Matthew?} I&apos;ve been curious about the word “until” or “till” in Matthew 18: 34. Does this imply purgatory? <br>6. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=3057">50:57</a> {Jesus Given a Higher Name?} New believer here, and my question is, since Jesus is YHWH, why is He given the name above every other name in Philippians 2? What does that mean? <br>7. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=3406">56:46</a> {Can All Believers Prophesy?} Does 1 Corinthians 14: 31 mean all believers can prophesy? If all can teach in some way without being teachers (i.e., teaching their children), can all prophesy without being prophets? <br>8. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=3577">59:37</a> {Hyperbole in Scripture} The Sermon on the Mount has some hyperbole (cut off your hand). How do you know what is hyperbole and what isn&apos;t, specifically regarding anger? <br>9. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=3908">1:05:08</a> {Does God Use our Sin?} Do you believe that God uses the consequences/results of a sin for His own purposes, like a one night stand resulting in a child? A reference could be Joseph and his brothers. <br>10. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=4087">1:08:07</a> {How/Why was Jesus Amazed?} Matthew 8:5-13 says that Jesus was amazed at the centurion&apos;s faith. In other places in the New Testament, Jesus knew the thoughts of the Pharisees. If Jesus could read thoughts, how could He be amazed?

  I&apos;m an ER doc. I&apos;ve seen some horrible atrocities done from one person against another, and i get to pick up the pieces. Here&apos;s my conclusion as a Christian emergency physician... Hell helps me sleep at night. A theology that doesn&apos;t include hell is only palatable for people who have not seen true hardship and injustice. So many evil people get away from the arms of the law. The fact that God is righteous and that he will put everything to absolute rights in the most thorough and exacting way is the only reason i don&apos;t lose my mind. <br><br>That said. That game righteous focus means i deserve the full weight of justice, something i cannot sustain or even begin to pay off. I&apos;m thankful for the Cross.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdsbFb3SB58&amp;t=295">4:55</a> &quot;I&apos;m saying this to lower the temperature on the topic of hell right now. You can&apos;t just flash your rear end at everybody.&quot; I was just listening to this, not watching, so it wasn&apos;t until the next sentence that I realized the cat had wandered onscreen and that Mike wasn&apos;t referring to some kind of metaphorical &quot;mooning&quot; in debates. 😂

  As a Calvinist, this is why I love and respect Mike. He&apos;s open to in-house discussions, he doesn&apos;t strawman you, and most importantly, he has his own stance that he defends well

  Personally I just believe God when He says that the punishment for sin is death and that only those who trust in Christ have everlasting life

  The old joke from my 1950’s childhood goes like this: The Methodists say there ain’t no Hell. The Baptists respond, the Hell there ain’t!

  I have disagreed with Mike on so many levels, however, Mike is the EPITOME of Grace. &nbsp;He&apos;s the perfect example of how brothers and sisters in Christ can get along even with different views. &nbsp;Kudoos to Mike.

  Hell is NOT somewhere you want to be. <br><br>That’s all we should need.

  I actually really want to believe in annihilationism. My mom recently passed away as an atheist. It grieves me tremendously to think of my mom suffering for all eternity. I want her pain to end eventually. But it&apos;s not my decision, obviously, and I have to trust that God is perfectly just as well as perfectly merciful. All things will make sense in the end and that&apos;s what I have to trust in. I miss my mom 😢

  I came to Christ because David Wilkerson preached on the sheep and the goats and eternal hell. I was captivated by the message that there was a God who loved me… but fear of hell drove me to the altar. The love of God has sustained my walk for 48 years this February 17.

  As a Calvinist myself, thank you for being so loving and humble in your disagreement with Calvinism, and in your responses to God and your Calvinist brothers. &nbsp;God bless you, brother. &nbsp;I really appreciate your ministry. &nbsp;It has been a great blessing to this pastor. &nbsp;I&apos;ll see you on &nbsp;the other side!
