Summary

Every Friday at 1pm PT! Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 Introduction 1. 0:16 Do 1 Timothy 2:9 and 1 Peter 3:3-4 prohibit jewelry (wedding bands, necklaces, etc.)? 2. 9:16 In Matthew 21:1-8, there is a donkey and a colt (2 animals). Does this have something to do with Jews and Gentiles? 3. 11:30 Can a person who struggles with addiction be born again? Can you be saved, but not enter the Kingdom of God? (John 3:3) 4. 14:39 How do I pray for a believer who isn't truly walking in line with Christ, and not showing evidence of any growth or transformation in their life due to habitual sin and lack of intimacy with God? 5. 18:23 When you ask God for wisdom, how do you expect a reply? How do you hear from God? Does He send thoughts? 6. 22:27 My church is having an indoor wedding tomorrow, despite the local government's current mandate prohibiting indoor ceremonies. Is this in accordance with God's Word? (Romans 13, 1 Peter 2: 13) 7. 27:25 Shouldn't Christians practicing polygamy have the same moral obligation to obey God's commands on marriage as divorced Christians who should pursue restoration? Isn't polygamy a sin, no matter what? 8. 30:05 In 1 John 5: 16-17, can you explain what is meant by "sin not leading to death" and "sin leading to death"? 9. 34:05 Can you elaborate on Hebrews 6:4? Is it referring to backsliding, or salvation? 10. 35:00 What is "righteous anger" according to Scripture, and could it be applicable for us to occasionally experience today? 11. 37:47 What are your views on communion and the eucharist? How much should the early Church writings affect our views on communion? 12. 44:36 Is there any good reason to think that the rapture of the Church will most likely happen during the "Feast of Trumpets"? 13. 45:33 What is the difference between a feeling and a conviction? 14. 46:40 How much authority does a father have over his adult children, and does it differ between sons and daughters? 15. 49:33 Can you comment on Michael Heiser and his "Divine Council Theory"? 16. 53:29 How would you respond to someone who claims that the Old Testament is not true due to their belief that there was never a biblical flood or Exodus, and that the Hebrews just copied the cultures around them, etc.? 17. 59:04 In Genesis 6 and 1 Samuel 15, God regretted His decisions. How can God, who knows all things, make a decision that He later decides was wrong? Here is the video I mentioned about why God "repents" and "changes his mind" https://studio.youtube.com/watch?v=YpjKPn8hZQs Here’s how you get your questions answered in the Q&A 1) Please reread your question before you ask to ensure that it will make sense to me. Clarity is paramount. 2) Wait till we go live before asking. We don’t take questions until then. 3) Put a “Q” at the beginning of your question. 4) Please only ask once, our mods are checking the chat continually. 5) I’m truly sorry if I’m unable to get to your question. I know its a bummer, but I am doing my best. 6) If you arrive late we may have already gathered 20 questions. Please check the live chat to see if we are full on Qs. Thanks!

0:00.0	We should be live and we're live. All right, this is 20 questions with
0:07.8	Pastor Mike. I'm going to be answering your questions from the live chat, but the
0:11.4	first question I have today before anything else I took from
0:15.0	Twitter the rest are all going to be from YouTube and the questions from Jake
0:19.0	Teter who says do 1st Timothy 2 9 and 1st Peter 3 versus 3 through 4 prohibit jewelry for example
0:26.6	wedding bands necklaces and I don't know what ratings is anyhow these different things, does the scripture, you know, say we shouldn't have
0:36.2	these things and I think we should look at these verses themselves. So the first one is First Timothy 2 verse 9.
0:45.0	And if you're watching this afterwards,
0:46.8	you should see in the video description
0:51.1	and in the first comment,
0:52.3	there should be a timestamp map where you can click around to the questions that you think are the most important for you to know about and let's dig into this first one.
1:01.0	First Timothy 2.9. It says in Malachai 3-2, hold on a second,
1:07.1	first Timothy 2-9. And there we go.
1:14.0	All right, now this passage is where Paul is writing to Timothy about the conduct of men and women in the church in the body of Christ.
1:21.0	This is instruction for Christian conduct and he says
1:24.6	likewise also that women, so the topic specifically is women. Now there's
1:28.9	application to men, but in the Bible when we when we see special instruction to women, special instruction to men,
1:35.8	there's often application to the opposite sex, but there's a reason why women are targeted here,
1:40.4	men are targeted here, because there are differences between men and women, and we do fall into different temptations sometimes, and that's, I think, the reason for this. Likewise, also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, so they should wear respectable or other translations put modest apparel,
1:56.0	with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire,
2:02.0	but what is proper for women who profess godliness with good works.
2:06.8	And a few things I want to note real quick off the cuff before anything else is this.
