Summary

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:0:00 - Intro1. 0:16 {God’s Presence Upon Death?} Will we see God right away when we die?2. 12:33 {Churches Promoting Events w/Drinking?} Should churches publicly promote local events involving alcohol? It seems unwise and inconsiderate toward those with weaker consciences. Some say we shouldn't legalistically refuse to advertise these opportunities for fellowship since drinking in moderation isn't sinful. Thoughts?3. 25:34 {Hating vs. Loving Evildoers} Psalm 139:21-22 and Psalm 5:5 seem to imply it is good to hate evil people who oppose God, but Matthew 5:43-48 seems to encourage the opposite. Where is the proper balance between these things? Thanks!4. 34:29 {Sin Struggles = Double Minded?} What's the difference between being a double-minded man (James 1:8) and being a sincere Christian struggling with sin and the flesh's love for sinful things (Romans 7:14-25)? Can you draw a distinction?5. 42:02 {Wrath: An Attribute of God?} Do you think "wrathfulness" is an attribute of God, or that wrath is just a practical outworking of His attributes of justice and holiness?6. 45:29 {New Christian Channel: Am I Ready?} How much planning should a person do before starting a Christian channel? How do you know when you’re ready and it’s time to post your first video?7. 49:05 {Adam’s 930 Years} Could Genesis 5:5 mean Adam’s 930 years began after the Fall, so he and Eve lived much longer in the Garden? Romans 5:12 says death came through sin; did Adam start dying then?8. 51:09 {Family Member Teaching Falsely: Help!} How do we deal with a family member (brother) who is actively teaching a false gospel (Hebrew Roots but Jesus is not God)? He has started his own group in person and is also sharing online.9. 56:06 {Specific Prayers: Controlling God?} When we pray, should we be specific? Or is that trying to control God?10. 59:06 {How to Stop Scrolling So Much!} In a generation that grew up scrolling, how can we overcome it? It’s not inherently sinful, but it sucks up so much of our time today. Biblical advice on this? Taking your questions from the live chat in this weekly Q&A, helping you to learn to think biblically about EVERYTHING. https://BibleThinker.org

0:00.0	She's back.
0:04.4	The cat just jumped on my lap as I was starting the stream.
0:06.9	You guys haven't seen her in months.
0:08.2	She just never comes up during the stream.
0:10.3	She wanted to say hi, apparently.
0:12.2	Now, she doesn't know you exist, actually.
0:14.3	She's just bored.
0:15.8	So the first question for today is going to be about whether or not I can get this cat tail away from my nose.
0:23.9	No, it's going to be about whether or not you see Jesus right when you die.
0:28.0	Like the moment you die, I don't mean the millisecond, you know what I mean?
0:31.4	But you die and you see Jesus.
0:33.0	It's not like a long delay.
0:34.3	It's not like you wait till the second coming or something like that.
0:37.4	You're actually going to experience the presence of God upon death. Is that what happens?
0:41.9	And I think scripture actually does answer this question for us. And I think it also matters
0:47.4	because of the way it affects our hopefulness about our future. So I'll show you that. First question, do I see Jesus right
0:57.8	when I die? And Philippians is the first passage we're going to go to to talk about this, because I think
1:03.0	Paul gives us the details there, because he actually talks about his own potential death, and he gives
1:09.0	us some answers on this. So we can think biblically about what happens when we die and this does not depend on your
1:16.0	as you don't have to be premillennial post-millennial omelial eschatology
1:19.2	rapture considerations none of that matters in relation to what I'm talking
1:22.7	about here so Philippians 118 it says and just for background, this is where Paul is talking about how he is persecuted, how he has attacked, how he, his life is actually in danger.
