Show Notes

Greg highlights the distinction between descriptive and prescriptive passages in the Bible then answers questions about a pro-choice challenge, helping someone in memory care, baptismal regeneration, responding to “Love is my religion,” animal blessings, and Bible translations.   Topics:
  1. Commentary: Descriptive vs. prescriptive (00:00)
  2. If someone says that if you’re pro-life then you should be against capital punishment, then couldn’t I flip that around and say that if a pro-choicer says a woman has the authority over her body to kill her unborn child, then he should be fine with her killing herself? (10:00)
  3. What can I give a person in memory care to help them? (22:00)
  4. Is it a dealbreaker if a church you’re going to believes in baptismal regeneration, and is this salvation by works? (28:00)
  5. How would you respond to someone who said, “Love is my religion”? (36:00)
  6. What is up with animal blessings? (44:00)
  7. Is the New World Translation not called the “Holy Bible” because they changed too much in the text? (49:00)
