  Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg">0:00</a> - Intro<br>1. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=68">1:08</a> {Should I Really be Held Accountable?} How can a just God hold people accountable for their beliefs if those beliefs are influenced by cultural, social, and psychological factors beyond their control? <br>2. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=1733">28:53</a> {Is Hell Just the Absence of God?} Is it accurate when people say, &quot;Hell is simply the absence of God&quot;? For Example, Jesus is the water of life so there&apos;s no water in Hell, or we rest in Christ so there&apos;s no rest in Hell. <br>3. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=2306">38:26</a> {Political Signups in Church?} Do you think churches should allow political signup ballots for certain bills in the church? I had an older woman come up to me and ask me to sign. For context, it was about gas and electricity. <br>4. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=2743">45:43</a> {Slaves or Friends of Christ?} Does Jesus “call” us His slaves? In John 15: 15 He says He does not, but in Revelation 2: 20 He seems to do so. <br>5. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=3011">50:11</a> {Jesus – the Son of Man} Why does Jesus switch from first person to third person only when He’s referring to Himself as The Son of Man? <br>6. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=3173">52:53</a> {Does Refusal of Sex Justify Divorce?} Does 1 Corinthians 7 really mean we can never say no to sex except for a season of fasting and prayer? My pastor told my husband that if I deny him for too long then he has biblical grounds for divorce. <br>7. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=3747">1:02:27</a> {Did Jesus Teach on the Rapture?} A friend doesn’t believe in the Rapture because “Jesus never taught it” and he doesn’t consider Paul (or his writings) to be authoritative. How would you approach something like that? <br>8. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=4225">1:10:25</a> {Do Only Good Things Come from God?} Is the concept of only good things coming from God biblical? I hear this a LOT in CCM and I am just not sure, given how our culture defines &quot;good.” &nbsp;Is God not finished if your story isn&apos;t &quot;good”? <br>9. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=4690">1:18:10</a> {Biblical Support for Calvinism?} What&apos;s up with Isaiah 63: 17? Is this a bullet in the Calvinist gun? <br>10. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=5097">1:24:57</a> {Did Jesus ever Make Mistakes at Work?} Do you suppose Jesus was the most skilled carpenter who ever lived? Is it heretical to imagine Him ever making a mistake on the job?

  When I was 6, I wondered if God existed. Then I thought, &quot;There are trees. Of course, God exists.&quot; You don&apos;t need to have great philosophical understanding. He put the knowledge in us and creation around us to illuminate our minds. Romans 1.

  As an ex-Mormon, the distinguishing of coming out of Mormonism versus coming to Christ is incredibly important. Glad you commented on it in that way. I&apos;ve also been blessed to have had God&apos;s grace, mercy and guidance in my life, in that not only did I come out of a religion of false teachings, but that I came to the Lord and His true inspired word, the Bible.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezLoSqbmeMg&amp;t=1733">28:53</a> I remember as a new Christian listening to Rick Warren downplay Hell and actually feeling a sense of relief for my unsaved friends. No pastor should ever downplay Hell, especially to the point where I think it&apos;s not so bad🤦🏻‍♂️

  I think Hell is probably so much worse than we can ever imagine.

  Question6: &nbsp;congeal rights is just sex- the Corinthian culture was used to men seeking prostitutes outside of marriage for sex, and wives were for child bearing. &nbsp;Paul is correcting this- what was truly shocking to this culture was that the wife had as much rights as the husband.

  What a breath of fresh air hearing you say &quot;i don&apos;t care what you believe about the rapture/escatology, etc&quot; and not worrying about &quot;having it all figured out&quot; since we couldn&apos;t possibly figure it out anyway!
