Summary
Welcome to a sneak peek of the Bonus Q&A episode, part of the Theology in the Raw premium subscription.
In the full episode, we discuss:
00:00 Introduction 00:55 What are your thoughts on the SBC kicking out church’s that have woman pastors? 8:30 ish How would you best steel man Rosaria Butterfield's critique of your book Embodied, which she thinks is dangerous? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqBFEhkwaJg 22:27 When Paul says “I do not permit a woman…” why do we not treat that similarly to when he says that about “I say it’s good not to marry” 26:47 a simple Q, but i’d love to know - as much as I love podcasts I basically only listen to this one - what are YOUR go-to podcasts, theology or otherwise? 34:09 What is your relationship with John MacArthur? I would love to hear you interview him because you are willing to push back and ask real questions. 37:29 Is social nudity always sinful? Does the Bible have an absolute minimum dress code that would cover all cultures? 42:27 Why do we ignore 1 Corinthians 11:5-6 about head coverings? How do you feel about people using that as a reason to ignore Paul’s stance on homosexuality? 48:25 What are your thoughts on David Platt and his teachings about evangelism? People are currently going to hell and it is your fault for not spreading the Gospel 52:00 When Paul lists qualifications for elders, why should we assume that would be the same for the church today? Why all people all time? 55:39 What are your thoughts around a pastor posting on social media/youtube about “false teachers” & name dropping them as well? 59:06 At the conference, Gary Breshears talked about Levels of Certainty (issues we DIE, DIVIDE, DEBATE, & DECIDE for). Where do sexuality issues fall on this scale? 1:02:31 Does 1 Corinthian 7:1-7 give grounds for divorce in an absolutely sexless marriage? 1:04:42 I've read that Paul's prohibitions on sexual immorality apply more to adultery & sex w/ prostitutes, not premarital sex in committed relationships. Any merit? 1:08:01 What is the meaning of the horrific story of the concubine in Judges 19. Why do you think this seemingly random story is included in scripture? 1:12:23 Do you think Christians (particularly pastors/elders) have a responsibility to speak publicly (outside the church) on social issues? 1:14:20 How did the NT writers and early church fathers understand "the authority of Scripture" 1:16:19 My church co-workers un-ironically and negatively use the word woke all the time. How can I convince them to stop?

| 0:04.4 | on the SPC kicking out churches that have women pastors? How would I best steal man Rosaria |
| 0:09.4 | Butterfield's critique of my book embodied what she thinks is dangerous? What am I go to |
| 0:13.6 | podcasts? What's my relationship with John McCartor and what I ever have him on the podcasts |
| 0:17.8 | is social nudity. Always sinful. Does the Bible have an absolute minimum dress code that would |
| 0:22.5 | cover all coaches? Folks, this is a Q&A podcast. So my Patreon supporters have sent in literally |
| 0:29.0 | over 50 questions, most of which I'm going to address on this Q&A podcast. I'm going to |
| 0:33.4 | address several of them here publicly. And then the rest of the episode, the full length, |
| 0:38.4 | hour and a half episode is available only to my Patreon supporters. So if you want to become one, |
| 0:42.9 | you can go to theology in raw.com forward slash theology in the raw. Get access to the full length |

| 1:02.6 | What are my thoughts on the SPC kicking out churches that have women pastors? Okay. |
| 1:08.0 | Several caveats up front. First of all, I'm not part of the SPC. I don't know the ins and outs. |
| 1:13.6 | I don't know how these decisions were made. I don't even know what the criteria |
| 1:18.4 | is for becoming or retaining your membership in the SPC. So my opinion shouldn't matter very much |
| 1:27.1 | at all. But because this was the number one voted question from my Patreon supporters. So they |
| 1:31.9 | submit tons of questions and then they get that they vote on which ones they want me to address. |
| 1:35.4 | This was the number one voted question. So I will respond to it. But yeah, big caveat up front. |
| 1:42.6 | I don't know the ins and outs and I'm not a big fan of not pretending like I know more than I do. |
| 1:49.0 | I don't know how the decisions are made behind closed doors. I don't know all the conversations |
| 1:53.6 | that went into this decision and these kind of decisions. So I would definitely encourage you |
| 2:00.0 | if you're interested in what happened here to ask somebody who actually knows a lot more than I do. |
