Questions in this Episode

1. You have said that the Trinity was not torn apart at the cross, but how is this possible when Jesus cried out, "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?"

2. How do you feel about taking a religious exemption for the Covid vaccine?

3. Why don't the Jewish people still offer animal sacrifices?

4. In Revelation 21, it says that in the New Jerusalem there will be no more death, but in Isaiah 65 it alludes to the idea that there may still be death in the New Creation. Can you explain this?

5. How do I defend my theological positions when talking to Seventh-Day Adventists?

6. I was reading 2 Kings and in chapter 2:23-25 there is the strange incident of Elisha cursing a group of boys and 2 bears killing them. I do not know how I could explain this if someone asked me about this disturbing incident. It seems very random and cruel to punish the boys for calling him "bald-head"?

Please can you help me understand it?
