This week's questions:
0:00 Greetings & introduction!
5:02 Lead question: Why does God want our love?
18:14 How can a person struggling to trust God's (unconditional) love, love Him more in light of 1 John 4v18-19? How do we gain a perfect love which drives out fear & doubt?
22:21 How are we meant to love God without fear, "because fear has to do with punishment," (1 John 4v18) when the threat of eternal punishment in Hell is hanging in the balance for Christians? Are we meant to both love & fear God?
26:33 Does the same apply to why we should worship God?
​​27:50 When people say they are led by the spirit, but don't read the Bible: how shall I respond in love & truth?
29:40 Is the filling of the Spirit something that happens to a believer only once or multiple times?
35:30 ​​How should we respond to ministries that now partner with false teaching Churches & ministries like Elevation & Life Church (word of faith/NAR/women Pastors)?
37:25 ​​Where can I learn about the history of the Bible & how the Bible was preserved & constructed?
39:12 In Joshua 7, why did God punish ALL of Israel after Achan sinned, as he was the only one who disobeyed?
41:20 ​​I got my mom an NLT Study Bible, but she wants a Bible with non-canonical books, saying “they were removed from the Bible.” How do I help her understand they aren't inspired?
43:13 Can we really love God out of our own free will (we choose to love God) or is it mostly because we are commanded to do so (Mark 12v30)?
46:34 My pastor mentioned God the Father allowing the Son & Holy Spirit to complete their ministries even though they’re all equally God. Is this hierarchy correct within the Godhead?
50:25 What to say to those who say the KJV is the only version to read? Also that "Scripture is God"?
53:07 Is recognizing our new identity in Christ a work in & of itself, or just part of having faith in Christ? It is faith or works?
55:41 Acts 16v30-31 seems to contradict the answer some pastors give, which is “turn from sin and believe,” can you expound on that?
58:08 How will people hear the gospel & come to know Jesus during the tribulation if all the Christians are raptured beforehand?
59:10 ​​Why are Shealtiel & Zerubbabel in both genealogies of Jesus?
1:00:15 Winners announced! Link to purchase: https://enduringword.com/product/the-...
​​1:01:22 My spouse & children are unbelievers, how do I lead them to Christ? I know when I was in unbelief, when it was forced on me, I pushed it away.
​​1:02:36 What can we explain to non-believers about the protests against Israel?
1:05:05 Is there biblical evidence that animals go to heaven? Will our pets go with us in the rapture?
