Summary

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:1. 0:07 {Genesis: Different Views} What are the different interpretations that different Christians have about the book of Genesis and the creation accounts?2. 26:27 {Israel – God’s People or Moses’ People?} What’s the significance of God calling the Israelites Moses’ people in the golden calf story, and then Moses calling them God’s people? I can’t help but think it sounds like two parents of the same child saying “That’s your kid” as the child misbehaves (Exodus 32:1-14, specifically verses 7 and 11). 3. 30:25 {Are our Souls Immortal?} Seventh-day Adventism claims that belief in an immortal soul comes from Paganism and leads to occult spiritualism (like necromancy and belief in ghosts). Is this biblical?4. 35:00 {Christians and Yoga} A family member does yoga for stretching, but in that quiet time they meditate, pray, and worship God. I know yoga for stretching is fine, but is worshiping while doing yoga an issue because of Deuteronomy 12:30-31?5. 42:23 {Can Angels be Saved?} Does Colossians 1:19, 20 suggest that Christ’s sacrificial death can be applied to fallen angels, as well?6. 47:04 {Can we Feel the Spirit Move?} Is “feeling the Spirit moving” biblical?7. 52:40 {Guilty of Unintentional Sins?} Are we guilty of sins we do not know we have committed (Leviticus 4: 27, 5: 17)?8. 57:53 {Prayer: How Long & How Many Times?} How long should our prayers be? I see many people online who need prayers, and I want to pray each night for everyone. It feels tedious & repetitive, but it feels wrong to pray for them only once. Thoughts?9. 1:01:45 {Salvation by Works in Revelation?} Is Revelation 14:12 talking about salvation by works?10. 1:05:06 {From Intellect to Salvation} Is there a way for me to go from an intellectual belief in God to a relationship with God, or do I have to wait on Him for that? Why we should not say all sins are the same: Click Here Refuting the idea that the Bible teaches a flat Earth: Click Here Analyzing "The Physics of Heaven" and Bethel/Bill Johnson's bridge to the New Age: Click Here Click Here for The Hebrews Series playlist (verse by verse through the book) My website is searchable and all the video and audio content is free: https://BibleThinker.org I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time.

The Bible says that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

0:05.4

0:30.7

for one of these interpretations as just make you aware of them. I think it's healthy to be

aware, understand that there are different views about Genesis

0:37.8

and the creation accounts from people who do believe the Bible.

0:44.3

But I am a Christian.

0:45.3

I do believe the Bible is God's Word.

0:46.7

It's infallible.

It's all those things.

0:49.0

So the question when we ask, how do we interpret Genesis?

0:52.5

We're not asking whether it's true.

0:55.1
