Summary

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? Links you may want: My church is having a Men's Conference: Details HERE (just scroll to the bottom of the page at that link) My video on head coverings, where I also get into men's hair length: Click HERE Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus (playlist): Click HERE My website: https://BibleThinker.org I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time.

Let me read it to you in a slightly different way

0:11.1

just to kind of unpack it a bit more.

0:15.0

It's really convenient, some say, really convenient,

0:18.0

that God revealed himself before science and technology were around.

0:21.0

There's no video footage of Jesus' miracles and

0:23.8

his death and resurrection. They happened before modern methods could test it to

prove that it wasn't fake. This leads to these two questions. Number one, I'll answer both of these now.

Why did God reveal himself to ignorant people 2,000 years ago?

0:37.6

God just re-re reveal himself to each individual throughout their lives visions or

miracles or as one atheist I was talking to one time said why doesn't Jesus show up again right here in the 21st century

0:58.4

die get verifiably you know scientifically proven that he's dead we test we check vitals and all this and then he lays there with cameras footage and everything and
