Words of the week

Ask Anything with Dr Bowman Questions What stood out to you?

· How can you tell if you are truly saved?

Rom 10:9-10

James

Why did God have Jesus die for our sins and not someone else?

Why is salvation not work based?

Is believing a work?

· What’s the best way to share the gospel with a friend?

Theology & Bible

· Why is it that God hardens the hearts of some men and not others?

· If a baby dies at birth, do they go to heaven? - Age of accountability -

· When is a soul created and when we die do we have a body in heaven?

· How old is the world according to Christianity?

· What did Matthew mean in Matthew 24:37? - “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

(Mt 24:36–37)

· If all the believers are raptured how do the two witnesses show up on the scene in Revelation 11:3 - And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”

(Rev 11:3).

(This obviously comes from a Dispensational background which matches with our church’s doctrinal statement, Feel free to reroute this one to me if need be.)

LGTBQ+

· Is the verse from Leviticus mistranslated about “man shall not lie with another man”?

I am assuming they mean (Lev 18:22).

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

· How do we approach gender/pronoun conversations with unbelievers?

Christians believe that rooted deep in the way that God set up the world that biblically (and scientifically proven) that human beings are purposefully created as one or the other gender for our good while also showing sympathy and compassion toward those who struggle with this reality personally.

Medically intersex vs gender disphoria.

· What do you do if you are called homophobic?

Difference between hating them and telling them that what they are doing is not right.

Those in distress through no fault of their own Mark 1:40-42

Those who know they are in sin - offer forgiveness - Luke 15

Those who proudly deny their sin: leave in blindness - John 9:40-41

Those who claim authority but lead others into sin or harm: Strongly condemn Matt 23

Apologetics & Culture

· How should we deal with hatred towards Christians?

· What happens to the other sects of Christianity?

(Presumably at final judgment)

Different denominations vs sects of Christianity

Believers and unbelievers in every church

· What do you think of the (this student said cesspool) that is Twitter?

Feel free to guide them in responding to social media in general.

· What is the biblical way to respond to the current administration (do we shut up and do as we are told or do you fight against it)?

· Why do you think faith has its reasons?
