Welcome to the weekly live Q&A with Pastor David Guzik, author of the Enduring Word Bible commentary. After our lead question, Pastor David takes questions via the live chat - simply add your questions & our moderator will arrange & deliver them to Pastor David according to theme or subject!

This week, Pastor David's lead question is from Belinda, who writes:
"Hi David, Our study group is studying 1 Kings...as I was listening to your commentary on 1 Kings 11 & 12...you made the comment that you were not certain about Solomon's salvation. I am curious about that comment. Since Solomon wrote (inspired by the Holy Spirit) three of the books of the old testament....God' holy word...that in Psalm 138..."that He (God) exalts (His Word) above His names" ...if his salvation is uncertain, this would mean Solomon would be the only author of God's Word that could be lost.Do you believe a lost soul could be inspired by the Holy Spirit to write not one but three books of God's Holy Word?I love your ministry. I think I have gone through the Bible with you at least once...please know I keep you and your ministry in my prayers."

This week's questions:
0:00 Greetings & introduction
1:35 Lead Question
14:40 Why was Solomon so hopeless in Ecclesiastes? Was he aware of Abraham & Moses, who both prophesied of hope beyond the grave?
17:08 Why is the Wisdom of Solomon not in the Enduring Word commentary?
19:58 ​​With all the wives and concubines, how many children did Solomon supposedly have?
22:58 Is our soul and spirit right now in heaven according to Ephesians 2: 6 and Rev 6: 10?
​​27:00 Although Jesus was born without original sin, would it theoretically have been possible for Him to sin, as Adam & Eve did? If not, what lessons can we learn from our Savior's resistance of temptation?
30:08 Can a Christian harden their heart beyond hope, like Pharaoh? I ask in light of Jeremiah 17:1, As their heart was set in sin, yet God didn't forsake them, but purged and restored them.
33:40 What will happen if I ask God for the double share of the spirit of My Pastor who is faithful to God just like Elisha did in 2 Kings 2:9
​​36:52 Hi pastor! Our group is studying Revelation and reading Enduring Word too. We have questions about which churches lost their lampstands and which kept them. What churches do they represent today?
39:24 ​​David! my mother sends me scripture daily and I love her, but she is gay. I know she attends a Episcopal church. Should I ask her about her views of salvation or just leave it at that?
41:08 Pastor Guzik, what do we know about David’s mother? I was struck by how David gave credit to his mother for his own relationship with God. …”because I serve you just as my mother did”  I would love to know more about this woman who obviously shaped the life of King David!
43:40 What are some things you changed your mind on recently or later in life, beyond the first 20 years of being a Christian. And how did you come to that realization?
47:01 is King David speaking of himself in third person when he says “The Lord said unto my Lord” in psalm 110:1? Or is someone else talking about him?
48:15 In Philippians4:4-6 it says rejoice and don’t be Anxious and by prayer with thanksgiving, my question is: scripture tells us not to do those, but yet we still do the opposite - why is that?
50:32 On the concept of salvation not being our work: I understand Jesus's death and being reconciled to God the Father. Then comes Matthew 7: 21-22, which says those who do the will of the Father shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Is that by work? Us doing?
53:50 There is one God in three persons, so how were they separately present at the Jordan River?
54:54 ​​If in the future one day our spouse leave the faith, what should we do as believer?
55:45 Are couples who get vasectomies after 1 child not trusting God? People say it’s sin because the procedure wasn’t available in the past. But I cant afford to have 10 kids.
57:23 Is the vision of Ezekiel's temple a past or future event?
58:06 ​​I understand the Bible is the holy word of God. Is it disrespectful to God to make notes or write on the Bible ?
58:55 People are struck with fear whenever they see an angel in scriptures. Will glorification cause this fear of angelic creatures to dissipate or not?
59:45 Do you think Solomon wrote Song of songs before his many wives or not?
