Show Notes

Caller Bob from New York: Should one know more about deeper philosophical arguments in order to be a more effective Christian apologist?

Caller Michael from California: What is going on in 1 Peter 3:19 where it is said that Jesus went and preached to the spirits in prison? Additionally, what can we make of the days of creation and their order? Finally, is intelligent design a good apologetic tool?

Caller Tyler from Oregon asks about Hebrews 6:4-6: Can these verses mean that a Christian can loose their salvation?

Caller “Eagle” from the chat room: Should we keep all of the Old Testament Commandments beyond those we call the Ten Commandments? Furthermore, How is it that things declared “unclean” in the Old Testament later become regarded as “clean” in God’s sight in the New Testament? Matt comments on a local event where the author of “The Shack” (Paul Young) is going to be the main speaker. So, Matt takes this opportunity to cite and expose some of the tremendously unfortunate theology found throughout this book.

Caller Derek from Washington asks if there is a “second” baptism of the Holy Spirit apart from or after someone’s initial baptism of the Spirit into the body of Christ when you first enter into a saving faith with Jesus?

Caller Ed from Texas: Might it be wise to practice the Old Testament dietary laws for health reasons just as long as we don’t be legalistic about it? Additionally: If the Nazarene venue that you mentioned is allowing Paul Young (author of “The Shack”) to speak, does that call into question their Christianity?

Caller Nathan from Oklahoma: Why do Roman Catholics teach that the Ark of the Covenant is associated with the Virgin Mary?
