On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (08/19/26), Hank responds to the assertion that the God of Christians and Jews repeatedly sanctioned or ordered immoral acts in the Old Testament, such as slavery.

Hank also answers the following questions:

  • Is it okay to have altar calls in church? Brian – Huntington, IN (8:17)
  • What is the mark of the beast? Jesse – Orlando, FL (15:13)
  • If the mark of the beast is not literal, then why does it say that people cannot buy or sell without the mark? Nick – Cortez, CO (21:45)
  • How can someone disagree with things you deem are non-essential, when I don’t see anything about what is or isn’t essential in the Bible? There’s only one true Church, and that is the Catholic Church. Kevin – Cleveland, OH (24:03)
