| 0:00.0 | Here we are. Welcome to the Friday live stream, Q&A with me, Mike Winger, a pastor in Southern |
| 0:11.4 | California, answering your questions about Jesus, God, the Bible, Christianity, all that |
| 0:15.1 | stuff. The questions are flooding in. If you're new here, this is where you put a question |
| 0:18.8 | in very quickly, and we grab 20 of them at the beginning of the stream. And you just |
| 0:25.1 | put a cue at the beginning of your question, if you've never done this before, or A in |
| 0:28.2 | Q, if you want your question to be asked anonymously. And I will get to 20 of them. We obviously |
| 0:33.5 | can't get to them all. Sometimes we get questions that I've answered recently, so we may skip |
| 0:37.8 | over your question, in which case you can check BibleThinker.org, my website. You can search |
| 0:42.9 | our Q&A there, and you can actually find places where I've answered maybe your specific |
| 0:46.4 | question. That's our website. And I'm going to get to the first question today before I tell |

| 1:00.5 | the Bible promotes killing, rape, and slavery, quoting numbers 31, 15 through 18. I don't |
| 1:08.1 | want to simply prove them wrong. That doesn't address this person's heart. Would you please |
| 1:13.2 | help? And I guess, you know, sometimes it's good to just throw the hardest question you |
| 1:21.3 | got at me. And the thing that makes this hard isn't the issue. So I mean, the issue is |
| 1:26.5 | challenging. It's the heart. It's the person's heart. That's the challenge. So let me say |
| 1:30.7 | there's two things going on here. We're going to read the passage in numbers, but there's |
| 1:33.9 | two things going on here, at least in my opinion. And the two things are one, understanding |
| 1:39.5 | things in context. That is actually knowing what the Bible says. Because for someone to |
| 1:44.5 | say that the Bible supports killing, rape, and slavery is manifestly wrong. It's just not true. |
| 1:55.7 | It's not a fact. That's not true. So that you can do. You could show the passages in context, |
