On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/22/26), Hank shares on the illumination principle on reading the Bible for all its worth and critiques Bill Maher’s flawed wooden literal interpretation of the talking snake in the Book of Genesis.

Hank also answers the following questions:

  • Was polygamy, plural marriage, and concubinage ever acceptable by God? Ross – Salt Lake City, UT (6:49)
  • What does it mean to be created “in the image of God?” Joe – Omaha, NE (15:11)
  • Beatitude in Revelation 22:14. Is it supposed to read blessed are those who do the commandments or those who wash their robes? Herb – AB (18:58)
  • People say that the King James Bible is the fully inspired Word of God. Is that true? What is the best Bible translation to read? Herb – AB (20:27)
  • Where does the Bible say that those who die without Christ have eternal condemnation? Tom – Newark, DE (24:13)
