Intro
This chapter examines the complex dynamics of cultural Christianity, focusing on its positive and negative effects on society and personal beliefs. The speaker clarifies that the discussion goes beyond politics, aiming to address the broader implications of this cultural phenomenon.
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
1. 0:11 {Trump’s Christianity} Is Trump's Christianity real Christianity? Here are some of my concerns about the rise of cultural Christianity.
2. 28:15 {Open vs. Closed Communion} What is your opinion on open vs. closed communion? Should the pastors or elders check who is taking the communion? 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 may support closed communion.
3. 38:26 {Are Guardian Angels Biblical?} What is the biblical case for or against guardian angels? Are they a myth, or do we really all have individual angels following us around and helping us?
4. 47:58 {Do False gods Exist?} When the Old Testament talks of false gods such as Molech, what does that mean? Is it that they don't exist, or is the word "false" referring to them being untrustworthy/deceitful?
5. 55:51 {Courage & Self-Control on Social Media} Do you think God expects us to post about controversial issues on our social media accounts? I don’t want to start needless arguments online, but I also sometimes worry that I’m being cowardly.
6. 1:06:11 {Does Satan Have Free Will?} Given what Revelation 20:7-10 says, what is the probability that Satan will NOT deceive the nations when he's released from the abyss? Is it 0 or greater? If it is 0, does Satan have free will?
7. 1:11:40 {Can we be Too Wayward to be Forgiven?} Romans 1:24 says “God will give them up to the lust in their hearts to defile their bodies.” Can one be forgiven and come back to Christ if one thinks this has happened to them?
8. 1:24:40 {Explaining a Confusing Passage} Can you please explain how you understand Revelation 22:11? I was super confused the first time I read this verse.
9. 1:26:16 {Is Love God’s Chief Trait?} Is love God’s chief trait, or just one of them? Is it right to call all He does (i.e., punishing sin) an act of love, or are some things done in keeping with His holiness, justice, etc.?
10. 1:34:25 {Recorded Sermons & Prayers – Biblical?} What are your thoughts on listening to recorded sermons, specifically “praying along” with recorded prayers? How exactly does that work? I listen to you mostly after the fact, so it feels odd.
1:40:33 Bonus Joke – Just for fun! In Genesis 4:8, Cain killed his brother. I feel like it was because he was Abel. Your thoughts?
I take YOUR questions from the live chat on anything related to Christianity and thinking biblically about everything.
First up, is Trump's Christianity real Christianity? And my concerns about the rise of cultural Christianity. I can already feel people getting mad at me and they don't even know what I'm going to say. Oh well, it needs to be said.
