Today's Time Stamps:

1. 0:10 {2 Thess. 2 = Sola Scriptura?} Does 2 Thessalonians 2 teach Sola Scriptura?
2. 10:51 {Jesus’ Deity: Why isn’t the NT Clearer?} In Titus 2:13, Is Paul explicitly saying Jesus is God and Savior? Why do New Testament authors often not address Jesus as God and appear to place Jesus outside of the Godhead (e.g. 2 John 1:3)?
3. 20:04 {Biblical Recipe for Anointing Oil?} The book of James tells us that if any are sick they should call for the elders and get anointed. Shouldn’t we be using the anointing oil recipe in Exodus 30:23-25 instead of just olive oil like most people use?
4. 27:03 {Personalities in Heaven} I believe that we will still have our personality in Heaven, but what about unborn babies? Will they walk around in Heaven like non-player characters since they haven't formed their own personality yet?
5. 32:22 {“Buried with Him in Baptism”} Can you help me understand Colossians 2:12? Is this water baptism? Which baptism is it?
6. 38:13 {Where Was God Before Genesis?} Where was God before Genesis 1? If space, matter, and time was created, what was before it? Heaven and the angels already existed, so where was the “nothing” where God created everything in Genesis 1?
7. 45:01 {About Jesus’ Omnipresence} I have a question about God’s nature. Since the Godhead hold all of their being in one indivisible present, in theory, could Jesus have been on Earth and in Heaven concurrently?
8. 53:12 {The Atonement: The Importance of Jesus’ Deity} Why did Jesus have to be God to be the acceptable sacrifice? If it was Jesus’ humanity that died on the cross and not His divine nature, why did Jesus have to be fully God?
9. 59:34 {Can Christians Benefit from Secular Therapy?} What are your thoughts on secular therapy for a Christian? Self-help and self-idealization seem antithetical to the Bible. Why isn't the counsel of Scripture and other believers enough?
10. 1:06:54 {Must Jesus be Lord of Our Lives?} Does receiving Christ begin with you trusting in His death and resurrection, or is there more to do, such as submitting to His lordship and then we are saved?

1:12:15 Bonus Q! What are your 3 favorite books of the Bible, and why? No cop-outs! Thanks so much for your ministry, Mike, it's such a blessing.

I'm taking questions from the live chat... here are the rules:

I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time. You're welcome to join.
To ask a question, you'll need to follow these instructions:
1. Don't post your question before you see me live on camera.
2. Post questions as comments in the LIVE chat at the beginning of the stream.
3. Post your question with "Q" at the beginning so we can easily identify that you are sending it in as a question for me and not just a comment in the chat.
4. Try to be as clear as possible so I won't misunderstand the question. Keep in mind that I don't know anything about your question other than what you type in that short comment.
5. Include specific verse references when possible or applicable.
6. Only one question submitted per subscriber, per stream, please. Submitting the same question into the chat a few times is OK.
7. Please understand that we don't strictly take the first 10 questions submitted. Our team takes several factors into consideration.
8. You can also check the "Clip Search" on BibleThinker.org in advance to see if your topic of interest has already been covered in a past session. I try not to answer the same questions over and over, so you may find what you need there.
