On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions:
- In Matthew 28:18, does this mean that the Father allowed Jesus to judge mankind and send them to either heaven or hell?
- When Paul met some disciples in Acts chapter 19, he asked whether or not they received the Holy Spirit. Does this mean there could be believers today who are truly Christians, but have not received the Holy Spirit? Why was it necessary for them to be baptized again?
- I heard an evangelist say that after Jesus’ resurrection, He had to wait in heaven for three days for the Father to tell Him what to do next. How should I respond to this?
- Revelation 20:14 speaks about Death and Hades being thrown into the lake of fire; can you help me understand the difference between this and hell? Do you think the 144,000 in Revelation 7 are a literal number of people, or is this metaphorical?
- What is your view on the doctrine of the Trinity, and what verses of Scripture would you reference?
- Do you have a list of preachers who distort the Word of God like Benny Hinn and John Hagee? Are you familiar with the cable channel, Daystar?
- Weren’t those in the Old Testament saved by faith in the coming Messiah and not by the sacrificing of animals?
- We were raised in a Christian home but now my sister is dating a Muslim; what is your view on this? If they decide to get married, should we attend the wedding?
- I hear a lot of smaller churches disparaging mega churches, but why are they against it if God is blessing the church?
- When Hebrews 13:17 mentions that our leaders will give an account to God for us; does this relate to whether or not we will be accepted into heaven?
- I am starting a seminary class and the book we’re studying is by Andrew Murray; is this good book?
- Can you recommend a good Bible translation, and are there any that I should avoid?
