Summary

Today's Time Stamps: 1. 0:33 {The Changing Morality of the Bible?} Why does God seem more wrathful in the Old Testament and more forgiving and loving in the New Testament? Does the Bible have changing morals?2. 33:29 {Balancing our Time Wisely} How can we find a healthy balance between time with God and entertainment, like reading non-Christian books?3. 37:34 {Burned Works = Unsaved Soul?} Regarding 1 Corinthians 3:15, how can someone be saved if their work is burned up? Wouldn’t the frailty of their work suggest that their faith wasn’t true in the first place?4. 46:57 {The Point of the New Covenant} What’s the point of the New Covenant when salvation has always been through faith?5. 54:53 {Who is Asherah?} Who is Asherah? I saw a video that claims she’s God’s forbidden wife. Who is she, from a biblical perspective?6. 1:00:21 {How Much Detail do we Confess?} When we, as Christians, confess our sins to God, how detailed should we be? Two verses that come to my mind are Psalm 139:23-24.7. 1:05:28 {When & How Much to Give to Others?} My wife’s nephew is transgender, is here illegally (USA), and recently got married to a man. He asked my wife if she could help pay for his immigration paperwork. Am I wrong for saying no?8. 1:12:43 {Be Quiet & MYOB?} In 1 Thessalonians 4:11 we are told to be quiet and mind our own business. How does that play out in a time where there is so much wrong in the world and in the Church? How are you doing it? You are the best!9. 1:26:33 {Strengthening our “Study Muscles”} What are some ways to make reading the Bible easier? I’m not saying I want the Scriptures diluted or anything, but I’m not a very good reader and I just end up getting frustrated and quitting.10. 1:31:33 {Was Jesus Silent?} In Mark and Matthew, Jesus remains silent which amazes Pilate, but in John, He delivers explanations. What are your thoughts on this subject, and how would you handle it when presented? Bonus Q for Fun! 1:34:28 Why do you and so many other pastors like the LOTR so much? Actually Helpful links (none of them are sales related): Evidence for the Bible series playlist How the sacrifices of Leviticus point to Christ How the high priests' garments point to Christ The book of Mark verse-by-verse study with emphasis on theology and apologetics I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time.

0:00.0	All right.
0:07.5	Welcome to the live stream.
0:09.8	This is a class in learning how to think bibically about everything that's the agenda that's
0:14.8	the goal that's what we're all about here and the first question we're going to be
0:18.2	dealing with today has to do with the Old Testament versus the New Testament. A persistent myth in our culture, in our society,
0:25.0	and even in our churches is exposed in this question. And here's the question.

0:50.2	more forgiving and loving in the new testament.
0:53.0	Does this mean there are different morals and values between the old and new testaments?
0:58.0	So I say this is a persistent myth because I'm going to give you guys some examples, some specifics,
1:02.0	some Bible verses, to demonstrate that this is simply not true, it's never been true.
1:06.7	It is a persistent myth believed by the masses, even people in churches.

1:14.9	them believing false things about God, about the Bible, about Christianity. That is
1:19.2	upsetting. The people themselves are believing myths and that's never going to help anybody
1:24.6	when we believe things aren't true. So let's dig into this. First we'll talk
