Summary

Taking your questions from the live chat in this Q&A, helping you to learn to think biblically about EVERYTHING. Today's Time Stamps: 0:00 - Intro1. 0:14 {Biblical Thoughts on Giving} Analyzing Pastor Marvin Winans’ giving service.2. 33:10 {Israel: Right to the Holy Land?} Hi Mike, in your view, does ethnic Israel have a divine right to the Holy Land today, according to Scripture?3. 51:37 {How to Serve the Lord} How do we serve the Lord, biblically? Sometimes I feel like I don't know how to serve the Lord.4. 53:55 {Finding Our Identity?} Can you explain the trend about finding our true identity? Jamie Winship and others talk about knowing your true identity. Is it more specific than who we are in Christ (i.e., that we’re redeemed, etc.)?5. 59:30 {The Minimum to Be Saved?} What's the minimum one must believe to be saved? Romans 10:9? But anything else? What about polytheists who believe it? Or if someone said, "Yes, Lord Jesus died and rose, but His death wasn't for our sin"?6. 1:03:49 {Impassability – Does God Have Emotions?} Could you help me understand impassability? I’ve heard that God doesn’t have emotions, meaning we can’t move God to “feel.” What about Deuteronomy 32:21 which sounds like we can move God to feel things?7. 1:09:47 {Discouraged by Free Will} My son is bothered by free will because it causes so much pain and suffering and that God foreknew we would sin. How can I encourage him?8. 1:14:41 {Developing Belief as an Analytical Person} How do I develop a belief in Christianity? It feels very difficult as an analytical person. I’ve been looking into apologetics but still can't develop faith and I strongly want to live righteously.9. 1:20:35 {Trusting God While Questions Linger} I keep thinking I’ll trust God easier if I get more questions about God answered. But I’m sad about things like unmet godly desires. Remembering God’s promises doesn’t help. How do I fix this?10.1:25:45 {No Sin After Salvation?} I have difficulty knowing what the Bible means when it says that someone who sins after being saved was never saved. I know that’s a very simplistic version, but it has always caused me anxiety. The full Marvin Winans Giving Day service is viewable here. My website: https://BibleThinker.org

0:00.0	All right. This is the last stream for this year, at least as far as Q&As go. And we have an
0:08.0	interesting topic to cover today, at least to start it off with, because I will be going to
0:11.6	your guys' questions in the live chat. What did Marvin Weinins do? That's the question.
0:17.3	I mean, really, is it biblical? But there's been some confusion and some drama over this.
0:22.4	So I'm going to unpack it and try to have a reasonable, thoughtful Christian response to it,
0:27.1	use it as a teaching moment.
0:29.3	And the reason why it's coming up is because giving is something that every church does and needs.
0:36.7	Like your church needs your support for them to continue.
0:41.6	It's healthy to give.
0:42.8	We should be giving self-sacrificially as Christians.
0:44.9	We should give with our whole hearts.
0:46.5	We should give willingly, not by compulsion, nobody forcing us.
0:50.0	No one trying to push us around to give, but we joyfully offer self-sacrificially to the work of the Lord.
0:55.7	That includes in your local church.
0:57.2	That includes helping out the widow next door.
0:59.2	That includes helping out the poor and the people around you.
1:02.5	That includes helping out your loved ones, your family as they get older, or as they're unable to take care of themselves.
1:07.7	All of this is very true.
1:09.9	So I'm not opposed to giving. Giving's a good thing.
1:12.4	But question number one, did Marvin Weinens in his giving day? Did he break scripture?
1:24.6	Did he go was he unbiblical in this? And I want to also let you guys know this.
1:29.2	It could feel like that I'm chasing drama or something like that. I'm really not.
