Summary

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:1. 0:02 {What is Hades Like?} Looking at Luke 16:19-31 (Rich Man and Lazarus), what does this parable teach us about the afterlife, and how literally should the depiction in that passage of Heaven and Hell be taken?2. 33:27 {Making Decisions “From Faith”} Is there a difference between indecisiveness and doing things “not from faith” (Romans 14:23)? I struggle to make decisions and feel guilty about doing things without being 100% sure it’s God’s will.3. 46:03 {The Great Wealth Transfer} What is your opinion on the movement of "The Great Wealth Transfer" that prosperity preachers teach, where believers obtain unbelievers’ land and wealth?4. 51:09 {Difficult OT Passages} Nahum 3:5-6 is hard for me to reconcile with our holy and loving God. Can you help me understand this?5. 1:00:21 {Praying Biblically in Dire Situations} Is it a lack of faith in me to not pray for a miraculous healing for a fatal diagnosis in my baby I’m carrying, and instead be praying primarily for strength, comfort, and peace?6. 1:05:38 {Does Jesus NOW Know?} Did Jesus’ limits He placed on Himself while on Earth disappear once He resurrected/exalted to Heaven (Matthew 24:36, No one knows the day or the hour except the Father)? Could Jesus know now?7. 1:10:22 {Should Morality be Legislated?} How do I respond to a Christian who thinks things (like abortion and transgenderism) are wrong but that they shouldn’t vote to have the government legislate against it to restrain/correct non-Christians (forcing it on them)?8. 1:17:10 {Avoiding the “Barn Building” Attitude} I feel the need/desire to make good money - that it's necessary to feel secure, to be a provider, and yes - to have some nice things (a house, vacations, etc.). Am I the Luke 12 barn builder?9. 1:24:07 {Spiritual Significance of The Election?} What do you think of invoking biblical figures like David, Cyrus, and Jehu when talking about President-elect Trump? Does his election have spiritual significance? 10. 1:27:39 {Let “US” Make Man in “OUR” Image?} In Genesis 1:26 God said, "Let us make man in our image." Who is the “us” He’s talking about?

0:00.0	Question number one. In the parable of the rich man in Lazarus, this is a parable Jesus tells,
0:09.0	he talks about where people go when they die. He discusses it in some detail and he tells a story about it,
0:15.0	and the question we have is the following. What does this parable teach us about the afterlife
0:19.0	and how literally should the depiction
0:21.2	in that passage of heaven and hell be taken?
0:24.7	And I can add one more thing to this question that was sent in.
0:30.7	Is it about heaven and hell or is it about the intermediate state before we experience
0:36.3	something either heaven or hell depending on whether or not
0:39.2	you are forgiven by the grace of God. So we're going to read the passage and ask the question for the
0:43.9	first question for today. I'm going to take 10 questions from the live chat. My name is Mike Winger.
0:47.4	Help you to learn to think. I'm here to help you to learn to think biblically about everything.
0:50.8	That's the agenda. We're going to read Luke 16 though though, just this one parable, it's a little section, and we want to see how does it apply to what I
0:58.7	expect to happen when I die or perhaps when before Christ died, what would happen to people
1:04.5	when they died. You'll understand more as we dig into it. So here we go.
1:09.7	Going to the scripture, Luke chapter 16 verse 19.
1:16.9	Here Jesus speaking says, now you're just going to make mental notes. Read through it with me,
1:21.4	think about it, ask good questions. This isn't a Sunday sermon. I'm teaching on this topic.
1:25.9	I would handle it differently. I'm trying to answer specific questions about this passage.
1:29.2	You might not get answered in a typical Bible study.
1:32.9	Luke 1619, there was a certain rich man.
1:35.9	I said certain because some translations say certain.
1:39.0	Anyway, that's a whole can of worms.
