Summary

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:1. 0:36 {Did Jesus Baptize?} Considering John 3:22 and 4:2, did Jesus Himself baptize others, or not? A Mormon brought this up to me, and the only thing I could think of was that John 3:22 wasn’t actually saying Jesus baptized, perhaps only that He oversaw the baptisms. Any insight? 2. 21:45 {Did Jesus’ Deity Die?} Did Jesus' deity die on the cross, and if not, then how could He be an atoning sacrifice for sin? If it died, then how could He be God without affirming the kenotic heresy?3. 27:34 {God’s Eternal Covenant} I see in Jeremiah 33 that God extends His eternal covenant not only to the house of David as kings, but also Levi as priests (Jeremiah 33:17-22). Who fulfills this promise? Does Jesus?4. 35:49 {Not Worthy = Not Saved?} Do Jesus' words in Matthew 10:37-39 give the impression that if we don't put Him first in everything, we're not saved? Does the phrase "not worthy of Me" not refer to salvation?5. 44:44 {Does God Veil/Blind Understanding?} Why do we assume that 2 Corinthians 4:4 is not about God, but presumably about Satan? In the context of chapters 3 and 4, and also in other verses, we learn that God veils/blinds eyes (ex: John 12:40, Romans 11:8).6. 50:44 {How Could God Need Strengthening?} Can you explain how an angel could have strengthened Jesus since He is God (Luke 22:43)?7. 58:39 {Translation Discrepancies?} Mark 1:41 in the NIV says Jesus was indignant, but other translations don't. What’s up with that?8. 1:04:13 {“Real Presence” in Communion?} Do you think “Real Presence” in the Lord's Supper could be true? The fact that the disciples say "this is a hard teaching" and many of them leave makes me think it was more than symbolic.9. 1:15:28 {Responding Biblically to Idols} Was it biblical for the man in Iowa to destroy the Satanic Temple display at the state capitol last December? How should Christians respond to the public display of literal idols in our society?10. 1:23:14 {How to Walk by the Spirit} Can we as Christians really truly live an upright and blameless life?

0:03.0	Hey guys. And we're live, there we got. Can we get on screen?
0:14.0	Hey guys, happy Friday, if it's Friday in your time zone,
0:18.0	for many of you it is.
0:19.0	And today is a Q&A.
0:21.0	We're going to take your questions from the live chat as I do every Friday at 1 PM,
0:25.2	approximately, Pacific time, California time. And I take 10 questions trying to give you
0:30.8	biblical answers, thoughtful answers, hopefully, from scripture to try to deal with
0:36.0	your questions. And the first question up today, by the way, my name is Mike Winger, is from
0:40.8	Jeremy from Texas, who says, considering John 320 from baptize others or not. Did Jesus baptize people or did he not? Which one is it?
0:55.2	John seems to indicate both is the question. And Jeremy from Texas offers clarification that I think is
1:00.4	very important, very important and this is why I thought this is a good question to start with.
1:04.6	A Mormon brought this up to me, he says, and the only thing I could think of was that John
1:08.7	322 wasn't actually saying Jesus baptized, perhaps only that he oversaw the baptisms, any insight?
1:15.2	Thanks so much for what you do and then you spoke kindly of my ministry and I'm grateful for that,
1:18.3	Jeremy.
1:20.3	Let's look at these verses.
1:21.8	This is a supposed contradiction, but what I want to focus on after I just look at the verses is why would a Mormon bring this up?
1:28.0	Doesn't Mormon theology teach that the Bible is God's word? Why would a Mormon go to a Christian and try to bring a supposed
1:36.5	contradiction to suggest that the Bible is contradictory? What is the motive there?
1:40.4	And that is where there is a gold nugget here that we all need to
