| 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. |

| 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? |
| God's Love & Power: It's hard to see God's love when you see all this evil around you. |
| 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? |
| KJV Translators: So the KJV Translators said the King James Bible might not be perfect? |
| 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? |

| Technical Issues: There is skipping going on in your shows, it's cutting out, can't hear everything you are saying. |
| Kingdom of God: Can we get kicked out of it once we belong to it or not? If we don't forgive others, Jesus said He won't forgive us. What does that mean? |
| 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] Death-bed Conversion: So if we repent right before we die, no matter if it's a deathbed confession or not, we are saved. What about someone like Adolph Hitler? |

| Bible Translations: I bought a Catholic Bible, & wondering the different translations between a Protestant Bible & a Catholic Bible of what King Agag's attitude was on his way up to meet Samuel....it seems to be quite different: cautiously, delicately, full of hope, cheerfully, trembling. [1 Samuel 15:32] |
