Intro
This chapter explores why God chose to reveal Himself 2000 years ago amidst a lack of scientific evidence. It investigates the implications of these revelations in the context of faith and modern validation, addressing why similar divine experiences are not prevalent today.
Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
1. 0:00 {How Does God Reveal Himself Today?} Why did God reveal Himself to ignorant people 2,000 years ago? Why doesn’t God do it for everyone today?
2. 25:45 {More Than One Interpretation?} Can Scripture have more than one correct interpretation? I know Psalm 22 can, but Catholics believe this is so with Peter as the rock in Matthew 16:18 or Mary in Revelation 12. Is there a good method to test Scripture for this?
3. 36:00 {Multiplying Gifts & Producing Fruit} What does the word “interest” mean (spiritually speaking) in Luke 19:23? How can one not multiply God’s gifts but still produce fruit?
4. 44:13 {Learning from Fallen Pastors?} Do you think it's wise to listen to preachers who have "fallen from grace" like Mark Driscoll? I find much of his preaching very life-giving, but I get judgment from other Christians.
5. 52:26 {The Purpose of the HS’s Intercession} In Romans 8:26-27, does the Spirit intercede in order to clarify what's in our hearts to God, or is it more to help us understand God's will and how He can help us mend our troubled hearts?
6. 57:04 {Is there Time in Heaven?} Looking at these passages, is there time in Heaven? 2 Peter 3:8, Ephesians 1:10, Revelation 21, Daniel 9:13.
7. 1:07:51 {Do our Lives Affect our Eternity?} Is our ability to rule and reign with God in His new world forever (Revelation 22:5) dependent on how we serve God in our lifetime for His mission (Luke 19:17)?
8. 1:12:57 {Serving God in our Professions} I am a DJ on a secular radio station. Knowing what's in many of the songs, I wonder if I am not pleasing the Lord by being in this job. Is this a matter of conscience?
9. 1:16:38 {Did Jonah Actually Die?} Did Jonah die? I was introduced to this theory by social media and was surprised to see a lot of people think he died and was risen based off of Jonah 2:1-6, Jewish tradition, and The Sign of Jonah.
10. 1:25:05 {Nazirite Vows – Why Long Hair?} If long hair for men is a disgrace by nature (1 Corinthians 11:14), then why is it part of the Nazirite vow in Numbers 6:5?
