Bible Line & Mothering From The Heart

Referring to Philipians 2:13 I am confused.

A listener would like to know how the different Christian denominations formed….for example, Baptists, Methodists, Non-Denominational, etc. This person has tried to research this but really finds no real explanation on-line.

Why do we pray when God already knows what’s going to happen?

What does Pastor Broggi mean when he says that Baptism is not just a picture…it is an obligation that we must fulfill?

Why do some denominations use Deut. 22:5 to teach that women should not wear pants and further, that men should not wear shorts?

A listener was speaking with someone who was saying that in Exodus 32:14, God changed His mind and therefore He was not infallible. This woman knows that God is all-knowing so how do you answer someone who uses this and other verses to challenge the sovereignty of God?

Is it better to memorize an entire chapter of the Bible or individual verses?

Pastor Broggi was talking about the distinction between men and women in Deut. A caller was having a conversation with someone and it turned to the length of hair for women and men. Is there anywhere in the O.T. that describes the distinction between the length of hair for men and women (if you look at Samson and some of the other O.T. men it seems they had long hair yet men don’t wear their hair long today)?

In the last two years a listener has visited a local church only twice, both times witnessing the pastor, or a member of the church ’speaking in tongues’. The listener does not have a lot of knowledge of the bible and would like to know more about this, and what it means, or represents and what is written in the bible about this?

While listening to a sermon Pastor Broggi gave from the book of Genesis reference was made to time of the coming of the son of man will be just like the days of Noah. Does this passage refer to the coming of the Anti-Christ, or the second coming of Jesus Christ,

I have been a Christian since I was 12. Raised a Lutheran but became a Baptist when I married my husband. I’ve always studied the scriptures since I can remember and my husband is up at 3am studying until dawn. He teaches at our rural church. The 30 something marrieds. Here is my thorn in the flesh. Election. I have a best friend who is Presbyterian and of course you can imagine our constant debate. I have listened to Adrian Rogers sermon on Predestination as well as Charles Stanley and I agree with all they say. Then when I begin to read the scripture, that word “election” keeps coming up. I cannot get any peace about this controversy concerning “the elect”. I was just reading again in 2 Peter this morning and up it pops again. I know what John 3:16 say as well as 2 Peter 3:9 but I am almost in tears over the battle going on in my mind over this one word. . . election. Can you please help nail down my blowing to and fro?

Pastor Carl explains Matthew 10:28 as it relates to lost souls that can be destroyed. And how we explain to non-Christians that lost people spend an eternity in Hell just as saved souls will spend an eternity in Heaven as it relates to this Scripture?

A visitor at a church indicated that he is a born-again Christian but he could not take communion because it was not his “home church”. Has Pastor Carl ever found any scripture that instructs us not to take communion at any church except the one that holds a Christian’s membership….(By the way, the visiting Christian was actually going to be speaking at this guest church).

A listener and his wife are relatively new Christians. They would like to have Pastor Carl give some advice on how they’ll know if they are being called to the missions field or ministry.

Today in Chapel they had a woman that seemed to me to be preaching to both men and women. Being taught that women are not to have authority in spiritual matter over men, I left chapel and during that chapel time I’ve researched the roles of women in the church, but what about the role of women teaching outside the church in a chapel service like that. I wanted to stay and listen, but I wanted to obey Scripture, I was the only one that seemed to have a problem with it as I walked out. I hope I wasn’t wrong for that, I just want to take the Scriptures with authority.

And what happens to people who never hear the Word. Do they go to hell? Purgatory?

What does the bible say will happen to people who are never introduced to the scriptures but are good people, and why.

I needed to ask your opinion about sunday school and teens. Do we do this because of tradition, cultural influence, or because the Bible says this is wise?

Does my teen daughter need to establish strong friendships with other girls her age? I thought yes, but was questioned about it, and I’m not sure how to reference scripture. How does “iron sharpens iron” relate to our children and their relationships? And if so, where do you draw the boundaries? Do I keep her completely away from bad influences and by that I mean girls who are actively seeking to deceive their parents and would encourage my daughter to do the same? I have told my daughter to use this time in her life to draw closer to God, because He is the best friend she will ever have. I just wonder how much I should encourage her to develop more friendships with other girls. In some ways my daughter and I are best friends…we talk about everything regularly. I just don’t know how I’m supposed to guide her through this. I don’t want her to be a gossip, I want her to pray about the difficulties and choices girls around her are making…then do I tell her to put distance between herself and them? Is that fair or right, would this cause her to exalt herself over them then? Is it a balance thing?

Is a Christian woman always called to work at home?

A caller is reading a book called “What He Should Be” by Vodie Baucham and the “He” in the title is referring to the man a Christian parent should want for his or her daughter.

The caller wants to know whether Audrey thinks that there’s validity in the statement that you cannot properly protect your daughter if you don’t keep her at home until you hand her over to the man who becomes her husband?

Is the Darby Rapture theory correct?

Recently I was having a debate with my Catholic friend regarding the concept of purgatory. He believes what the Catholic Church teaches, that people must work their way into heaven through purgatory. I believe there is no purgatory and that Jesus paid the price for our sins. What would be the best way to argue this? Also, in reference, he argued the book of Maccabees contained information that supported it and rebuffed the fact that the KJV did not include the book. Are the books biblical? Was Martin Luther right to discard them?

If a man who never had integrity gets saved, will he become a man of integrity?

Do you think that the movie Fireproof is a good gift to give to someone who is going through a separation with the intent to get a divorce?

Because 1 Cor. 3:16 tells us that we are temples of the Holy Spirit, is getting a tatoo okay or not okay for a Christian?

Our next caller says that he has friends who tell him that their denomination has specific beliefs about certain things and unless you believe the same, you are not teaching the truth (for example, if you don’t speak in tongues, etc., you are denying the Gifts). Also, why do some think women can’t cut their hair, wear makeup or wear slacks and some denominations teach you can’t take medications? How would you answer people who have these kinds of opinions? Why do we as a nondenominational church not believe in tongues and interpretation, etc. and other things that most Pentecostals do believe?

Have you heard of The Restored Church of God/ David C. Pack. He has a series on Revelation. I would like to know if he is a credible teacher. www.worldtocome.org I think we should start a website called sheeporwolf.com so people like me don’t get mislead by a wolf.

When Jesus was born and raised in Joseph and Mary’s household, why didn’t they instruct their other siblings as to who Jesus was and that maybe He should even have been treated differently or with more respect (in fact, didn’t the other siblings mock him?). What was the purpose of withholding His identity?

Pastor Carl talks about a message on “encouragement” for Christians who just seem to be going through one thing after another.

Please define walking in the Spirit. If I know I should do something according to the bible (i.e. being submissive, etc.) and don’t always want to, but do it because I’m supposed to. Is this part of growing in your walk with the Lord.

A caller has a friend who is a Muslim and he has some questions that this person would like to have answered. First, he says that in the OT God said he would not put the sins of the father on the children (this may be in Jeremiah or Ezekiel). If this is true, then why do we as children of Adam, have to pay for his sin therefore why do we need Christ as our Saviour. Secondly, in the NT Jesus said we are to come as a little child. If children are not responsible for their sins until the “age of accountability” why do we, if we come as children, need Christ as a saviour (aren’t they sinless)?

A man I know goes to church and is new to the church and he still drinks smokes and swears, His wife defends him as she probably should, but I’m struggling with it being ok to sin because there is grace. I can’t really say much because I have my sin but what if he speaks to others and asks them to come to church, I then get defensive and confused. Any advice for me?

A listener’s father-in-law is a freemason…what exactly is that?

A listener has five kids under 7. A four year old boy and three year old girl of his have some behavioral issues…the two when they get together lead each other into sin.

Lewis. This father is looking for direction.

I recently had an interesting discussion with a fervent Catholic who attests that only Catholics will be received into heaven because only Cathilocs receive the Eucharist from a priest who is a descendant of Peter, the first Pope of the one true Church that Christ etablished on Calvary. Please help me to counter this! I was dumbfounded by the thoughht of an exclusive God.
