- Adriana - Should we kneel or bow when receiving communion?
- Tony – Do my prayers from years ago still count and is it nagging to keep praying the same prayers?

| 0:28.6 | Ray, I was coming to you first, man, and you hung up. |
| 0:33.5 | I mean, I've got backup phone calls, but Ray, you were first up and you gave up too soon. So if you want, call back. The number is 888-914-9-49. Let's go first to Mark and Alvin, Texas. Hi, Mark. Hi, Patrick. I've got two questions, and I'm sure you can answer them. I'll try. I know you can, because you're the man. |
| 0:55.6 | You're the man. |
| 0:56.0 | All right. |
| 0:57.2 | Thank you. |
| 0:58.0 | Let's see. |
| 0:58.7 | The first question was, why did they call Thomas the twin? |

| 1:33.7 | slash Patrick and then look at yesterday's program and I forget which hour it was, but it'll be in the show notes. |
| 1:40.1 | So to kind of restate what I said, those are titles. |
| 1:47.0 | So when it says He will be called Emmanuel, which means God is with us, these are titles, |
| 1:55.0 | and even though it says that they will call him, that this name will be what they will call him by, it doesn't mean |
| 2:03.7 | referring to his surname. It means that this is a title that will be given to him. And so we see |
| 2:11.9 | this in Isaiah, I think chapter 6 and 7, for example, where we see, among other things, in Isaiah 9, rather, |
| 2:20.1 | for to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder, |
