Saved by Faith & Not Works:We are saved by faith, but not works, but I've always struggled w/ that because then a person thinks they can live a life of sin, & just have faith. What do you say? [James 2:14-15]
All one in Christ Jesus:People think there's a contradiction between all being one in Christ Jesus, but in Corinthians it says there is a certain order of authority. Can you shed some light on that? [Galatians 3:28, 1 Corinthians 11]
Infant Baptism:The church were the caller attends think that infant baptism is acceptable to become a member there. Isn't that an obedience problem, not obeying Jesus, doing baptism for the real reason?
Parishioner Living in Sin:A Church Member is committing Adultery but still has a leadership position or has church membership. The church, however, refuses to practice church discipline. [Matthew 18:15-20]
Pharisees, Scribes & Sadducees:The Pharisees were the Orthodox Rabbis during Jesus' times? Was Jesus basically just trying uproot Judaism while He was down here? [Luke 9:28-36]
All Saved & Hardening of the Heart:There seems to be a contradiction that God wants everyone to be saved, but that He's also hardened people on purpose, such as Pharaoh. Why? Is this a contradiction?
Dreams & Visions of Jesus to Muslims:I've heard that Muslims have been having visions & dreams about Jesus & have been accepting Him, but someone told me that God only sends dreams to believers. Is this true?
Marriage, No license (Spiritual Marriage):When did Marriage Certificates become a thing? Do you have to get one to get married or can you just get married spiritually? Were Joseph & Mary married before she became pregnant w/ Jesus?
Marriage & Divorce & False Accusations:Caller can't believe what is happening to her at the moment, her husband abandoning her, but not that, but falsely accusing her. What should she do?
Strategies for Unity - Babylon & True Church:It's sort've hard to have unity in a church that claims all the other churches except theirs is "Babylon". The Seventh Day Adventist church even says this! We need to stay in such groups & try to tell show them why they are wrong.
Peter's Vision of Unclean Animals:The vision the that Peter had about the sheet coming down from Heaven, is that metaphorical or was that God saying that all the unclean animals were clean too? [Acts 10, 11:1-18]
KJV-Only Rebuttal:We don't have to depend on the scholars to translate the Greek & Hebrew correctly. For one thing, Augustine never knew Greek or Hebrew. For another, you can read a variety of Translations & get a pretty good idea of what is being said, are the opinions of the caller.
Incarnation:If the Logos had not been conceived in Mary, would Jesus had just been a Man, being able to function like you & me? [1 Timothy 2:5, John 1:1-3, 1 Peter 3:18]
Teaching by the Anointing:We don't need man to teach us, but to rely on the Holy Spirit for discernment, although we might be helped by a good teacher. What do you think? [1 John 26-27, 1 Corinthians 12:8-10, Romans 12:6-8}
Being Jewish:I have a Jewish friend that says that because the mother is Jewish, the children are automatically Jewish. Is there anywhere in the Old Testament where it says that?
Eternal Life:What is God's basis for showing grace to someone to bring them to eternal life? Everyone who is weak, humble, meek & needy, does God automatically give them that grace & saves them? (the same caller that was on for a half hour from the day before.) [Luke 8:4-21]
Free Will & Sovereignty of God:A lengthy discussion about Free will & Sovereignty, using Samuel & Saul as an example in the beginning, but they go all over place. The discussion is 25 minutes long! [1 Samuel 9:1-27, Ephesians 2:1-2]
Stoned for breaking the Law:How come the people in the Old Testament were stoned to death & didn't have a chance for forgiveness like we do under the New Covenant?
Spiritually Dead:Does it say anywhere that the spirit dies? People actually think their spirit is dead. Isn't that metaphor wrong? Paul say that we are "dead in trespasses & sins". [James 2;28, Ephesians 1:1-2, Romans 7:9]
Parable of the 10 Virgins & Universal Reconciliationism:Doesn't the Parable of the 10 Virgins do away w/ the notion of the possibility of Universal Reconciliationism?
501c3's:People w/ 501c3's seem to become a corporation & listen to whatever the state tells them to say or not say. Why do people need a receipt to be able write off the taxes you paid to God? Isn't a 501c3 another gospel? What about homosexuals that come into your church & want to get "married", & you say no, aren't you violating the conditions of the 501c3 that the government gave you?
Prophecies in the Book of Revelation:I just don't understand the book, but as far as what I believe, things just seem to be falling in place. (A lengthy discussion about things in Revelation, especially of the Millennium.)
Satan's (Lucifer's) Pride:If Satan wasn't originally Lucifer like the traditional thought is, why did Paul warn about new converts becoming elders, lest they get pride in their heart & fall like Satan did? (1 Timothy 3:6) [1 Timothy 3:6-7, Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28]
New Thought - Metaphysical:(Call is very garbled) Have you ever heard of Emmit Fox & his book on the Olivet Discourse, which is about New Thought, Metaphysical?
