Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Apologetics | Pastor Jay Winters (Ep.13)
Q: What would you say to a person that perfectly describes someone to believe in scriptures?
We have the best of all of these different manuscripts... minor differences that don't end up being that much of a big deal.
Apologetics | Pastor Jay Winters (Ep.13)
Q: What would you say is a good starting point to talk to someone about the evidence on why there's no way Christ could have been taken out of the tomb?
The first piece of that being that he really died. I would point to Jesus' own prophecies about how he died.
The Trinity | Rev. Ray Hulett (Ep.11)
Q: Is there a line to see that someone's not a Christian by the way they perceive the Trinity?
Yes, specific beliefs regarding the Trinity can indicate whether someone is confessing the true faith, such as denying the divinity of Christ or having a tritheistic view.
The Trinity | Rev. Ray Hulett (Ep.11)
Q: What is a good summary of what the Holy Spirit is?
The Holy Spirit is recognized as God and a personal entity; He acts in personal ways, can be grieved, and is involved in the lives of believers, especially in guiding them in truth.
The Trinity | Rev. Ray Hulett (Ep.11)
Q: Does Jesus' cry "Father, why have you forsaken me" show He really had no idea for what was going on?
It's best understood in the context of Psalm 22, where it is a cry of lament, identifying with sinners but ultimately not indicating that God has truly forsaken Him.
