Summary

Taking questions from the live chat after I answer the first one! Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:19 {Interracial Marriage: Biblical?} Are mixed-race or interracial marriages biblically permissible? 2. 19:09 {Evangelism: Relationships Required?} I've been told that you should build a relationship with someone before sharing the Gospel with them. Thoughts?3. 22:12 {Others’ Consciences: Our Responsibility?} Are we responsible if someone is emboldened to disobey his conscience because of something we posted online (Romans 14)? I wish to show games I like on my channel, but I’m afraid they may convict a brother.4. 35:18 {Are “Titles” Biblical?} Is calling people by a church title, like Pastor, biblical? Nowhere in Scripture is anyone referred to by anything other than their first name, and Matthew 23:7-12 seems to forbid it.5. 44:23 {Scriptural Coincidences?} Abram's father, Terah set out for Canaan, but stopped in Harran, where he died. Later, God calls Abraham to Canaan. How do I know if something like this is a coincidence or meaningful?6. 45:58 {Should Abortion be Prosecuted?} Do you think it's biblical that women who have abortions should be legally judged the same way as someone who commits murder?7. 51:50 {Balancing Ambition & Contentment} As a Christian, how do you balance ambition and contentment?8. 54:29 {James: Works Based Salvation?} In Galatians, Paul says Jews from the sect of James were Judaizers. If the book of James was written before the Acts 15 council, do you think James in his book taught a works-based salvation?9. 1:00:40 {Why No Marriage in Heaven?} Jesus clearly says there is no marriage in Heaven. But God established pre-fall that it is not good for man to be alone and He gave Eve to Adam despite Adam being in communion with God in the garden. Thoughts?10. 1:03:31 {Appropriate Motivation for Hard Work} Is it wrong to reward myself for doing the things I have to do? I worry that it might cause me to work for the wrong motives. But it's so hard to get myself to do things. Everything the Bible teaches about alcohol: HERE James 2 and the justification question: HERE https://BibleThinker.org

0:00.0	marriage being sinful is like, what are you talking about? This is preposterous. Like, who's
0:04.3	even thinking of this? But you are just unaware of how very strong the thrust is for Christians
0:14.0	and even non-Christian just around the world to think that mixed marriages are evil. And I'll say
0:20.0	interracial marriage for the sake of everybody
0:22.3	knowing what I'm talking about. But, you know, I mean people with different ethnicities or
0:25.7	different skin colors and cultural backgrounds and that kind of thing. Is that sinful? We're going to
0:31.3	get into the scripture. And answer, does the Bible respond to this? And I want you to understand
0:36.2	that it is a rising problem. And
0:38.0	let me first frame it this way. I think we think of this problem like white Americans.
0:45.3	So let me explain what I mean by that. I'm not trying to trigger people, but, but we're going to
0:49.3	get into this. Is mixed marriage biblical? The thing that occurs to a lot of people who are Americans, especially white Americans, is,
1:01.0	is mixed marriage biblical?
1:03.0	What we tend to think is, oh, do you mean, do white people think it's okay for white people to marry non-white people?
1:10.0	And they think that's the question.
1:12.4	But I would recommend to you guys, I would suggest that the, even in the United States,
1:18.2	like the polls show that the actual, the community or the group of people who are the most
1:22.7	opposed to interracial marriages are actually black communities, black people. Does that
1:27.3	surprise you? But that
1:28.1	doesn't really surprise me too much because I know enough people. Let's just say, I know people.
1:36.5	But I also know that racism is a huge issue in all communities. It really is. It always has been,
1:41.1	and always will be. But here, let me add this. The issue of interracial marriage being something that people are opposed to is far stronger outside the United States than it is inside of it. You're going to get a lot more strongly, consistently people opposed to it in Japan than you are in the U.S. You're going to get more opposition to it in Korea than you are in the U.S.
2:01.6	Or in, you name the other country.
