Summary

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Introduction 1. 0:36 {Should Repetitive Bible Passages Concern Us?} I'm very confused about why Psalms 14 & 53 are almost identical. Is this an error in Scripture? Are any other pairs of psalms also duplicate? This is causing me to worry about the reliability of Scripture. Please help me understand this! 2. 11:07 {How to Connect Deeply with God} I struggle deeply with feeling the presence of a relationship with God. I believe I am saved, but I had wandered far and often during my youth. To this day, I try to "imagine" my relationship with God, but I still feel estranged (mostly I think because of sinfulness). I am desperate for that deep, living connection to the Father. What can I do to get connected in relationship with Him? 3. 15:34 {More Miracles than Jesus?} Often, John 14:12-14 is used by “word of faith” preachers that I used to listen to. Their claim is that we are to do the same and more of the miracles that Jesus did. How should I see these verses? 4. 22:28 {Is Common Sense an Argument for God?} Some weeks ago you said you believed common sense is the best argument for God. Can you elaborate? 5. 26:27 {About Jupiter in the Bible} In Acts 19:35 where it says “the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter,” is this referring to the planet Jupiter, and did they know of other planets in that period of time? 6. 29:15 {Are the Son & Spirit Extensions of the Father?} What would you say to people who say that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are mere extensions of the one God, the Father? 7. 33:29 {What is a Biblical Perspective on Anointing

0:06.1	Pastor Mike. That's me. I'm not the questions. I'm the Mike and I'm taking your
0:09.6	questions live from the YouTube chat right now. You're loading them in. Hi
0:13.4	everybody. Thanks for joining. The early birds are here and you get a chance to
0:16.6	have your question answered. And we're starting with question number one, which
0:19.7	I've already got ready. Just two seconds. I need my button. You see this button, I'm
0:28.7	not entirely sure. Either, either it's self-destructs my house or it makes the
0:33.4	counter go up. Okay, good. I got the right button. Now, first question is from
0:37.6	UK Dove Girl, who is concerned because she has a question that makes her
0:41.6	wonder about the reliability of Scripture. And I want us to not only answer the
0:47.0	question, but to answer the worry. So, track with me here. This is her question.
0:52.1	UK Dove Girl says, Hi Pastor greetings from England from an appreciative lady.
0:55.8	Hi, glad you're joining me. I'm very confused about why Psalms 14 and 53 are

1:11.8	Please help me understand this with huge thanks and you are hugely welcome. But
1:15.6	let's look at the issue itself. So Psalm 14 and Psalm 53 are like almost the
1:21.4	same. Like it's the same Psalm almost entirely. And there's, you know, when I
1:28.0	look at commentaries, a lot of them have just because I one question, you know,
1:34.1	this question I look at ahead of time, the rest are all coming in live. But when
1:37.6	I look at commentaries on these things, the commentaries are often like at
1:43.2	a loss as to why 14 and 53 are so similar or what the differences are. I
