Questions

Do we not need to make sure believers understand that, yes ADAM fell, but the Scripture states “that we were all in ADAM”? Otherwise we might be tempted to say, “Why am I suffering because of Adam’s stupidity?” (6:30)

Our church mission is to “connect people to Jesus Christ and one another.” I can’t help but wonder why our church is not more involved with the Emmaus Community? I have never felt closer to Jesus then I have after I’ve been on the walk. (7:35)

Is gambling entitled in the Bible as a sin? (11:05)

After Jesus feeds the 5000 in John 6, there is this odd dialogue where Jesus compares himself to bread from Heaven and it sure sounds like he is expecting people to literally eat his flesh and drink his blood. (vs 53-58) This seems to drive people away from him. What does he really mean with this analogy and why wasn’t he more clear? Surely he wasn’t intentionally trying to speak in riddles that few would get, was he? (12:20)

We learned about Isaiah in Kidway and I was wondering why they lived so long in the Bible times? (18:05)

I love the analogy of thinking of God like a doctor. In my experience some sincere people are anxious to go to God because they’re afraid of God like they’re afraid of doctors. How do we encourage people who are afraid of going to God because they think of him like a doctor? (21:50)

How do you go about responding to someone who is not a Christian and says God is evil? (31:50)
