On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/17/26), Hank shares his thoughts on St. Patrick’s Day. Saint Patrick was born a Brit in the fifth century, but when he was 16, he was captured by Irish pirates and taken to Ireland as a slave. After escaping, he later returned as a missionary. Although all analogies for the Trinity ultimately break down, Saint Patrick supposedly explained this doctrine by using a shamrock. Tradition credits him as the founder of Christianity in Ireland and its first bishop. Certainly, many came to faith in Christ through his ministry.
Hank also answers the following questions:
- Have you heard of the New Apostolic Reformation? Are IHOP and Bethel Church in Redding associated with it? Ryan – Medicine Hat, AB (3:09)
- Can you explain the doctrine of predestination? Mary – Lincoln, NE (5:39)
- When we get to heaven will we remember this lifetime? Wesley – Gilmore, TX (9:44)
- Is Oneness Pentecostalism and its denial of the Trinity a heresy? Lisa – Richmond, VA (15:34)
- Could you give me some insight into the teaching of Ray Hagin and this idea of Afrocentrism? Shirley – Garner, NC (21:22)
