Questions in this Episode

1. When Paul says that the law is dead and we are no longer bound to it, does he mean "man's law" or "God's law"? I know the 10 commandments were written by God's hand and that other ceremonial laws were written by human hands. Which one are we bound to?

2. Should God be addressed with "she" and "her" pronouns to accommodate for God's "feminine attributes"? The church I currently attend believes God is not solely patriarchal because of some verses in the Old Testament that describe Him as a "mother hen." This doesn't make sense to me because Jesus, who is fully God, is a man and also refers to God in heaven as "Father."

3. I struggle with severe anxiety and my friend was trying to comfort me by saying that, "God will never give you something you can't handle." Is this biblical?

4. Should Christians practice foot washing like Jesus did?

5. Can you have a hard heart and still be saved?
