On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/03/22), Hank notes that yesterday was the observance of Ash Wednesday; the beginning of the forty days of preparation for celebrating the death, the burial, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. During this time, Christians remember our sinfulness, we repent, we ask for God’s forgiveness, and we recognize that God’s forgiveness comes at an infinite price—the death of Jesus Christ on the cross on our behalf. Hank also discusses Clean Monday, which is part of the Eastern Church’s observance of the Great Lent.

Hank also answers the following questions:

  • I was wondering if you know which historian was the first to mention the Gospels?
  • If Jesus died on Friday and rose on Sunday, isn’t that just two days?
  • Can you clarify your statement on the doctrine of once saved, always saved? It appears that you don’t believe in eternal security.
  • I’ve had someone question me about Christ being in the grave three days; would you mind explaining that?
  • What would have happened if Adam and Eve did not eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
  • I believe the Church misunderstands the timing of the day of preparation and Jesus’ crucifixion.
