Summary

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 Moloch, 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.

0:00.0	Welcome to the live stream. I'm a few minutes late you guys, non-intentional. I'm talking about an issue that I think is a big problem right now and it's not
0:16.2	about the election and it's not about who you vote for. That's my disclaimer. There's a lot of people
0:20.9	they're going to think this is about who you vote for.
0:23.0	It's not.
0:25.0	Are you seeing me on screen guys?
0:28.0	Someone confirmed for me.
0:30.0	Let me make sure that this is working because my preview is not showing it. I'll just keep
0:34.6	talking for now. But the issue is not who you vote for. That's my disclaimer
0:39.5	going into it. I'm not trying to sway your vote away from Donald Trump. This is rather a
0:43.6	warning about something a lot bigger than that. This is about the two-edged
0:46.8	sword good and bad of cultural Christianity. There we go. All right, I'm live now. We'll figure out what to do with that later.
0:56.7	The issue of cultural Christianity. Again, it's not about who you vote for, don't care.
1:00.9	Well, I do care. But it's not related to my issue here at this moment.
1:04.8	That's the point. I'm not trying to sway your vote in one direction or another.
1:08.7	There's other reasons why I would sway things like a way of voting people as a Christian sway your vote away from things like a way of voting people as a Christian, sway your vote away from things like
1:14.8	pro-abortion votes or anti-family votes or votes for things that involve like woke stuff or what you might call
1:22.2	critical race theory that's just
1:23.4	unbiblical unChristian commitment to the way we view humans and justice and things
1:28.6	like that anyways yeah that's true I wish I could I had better wisdom and insight and I would do a whole other
1:34.9	channel on that kind of stuff if I did. Here let's just make sure everything's live because I
1:39.6	don't know why I was seeing weird things on my screen instead of the things I'm supposed to see.
1:44.0	Okay, thank you, Sarah. That's my assistant, let me know. Okay, here we go. Let's dig right into it.
