@ 23:26 – I just learned that before Eve was created that God had told Adam not to eat of the tree of good and evil. So it really wasn’t Eve’s fault tat they succumb IT WAS TOTALLY ADAM’s.
@ 26:19 – What did you mean that we should remain faithful, even when God gives to others what we desire for ourselves?
@ 34:37 – Why is the Fertile Crescent now largely a desert wasteland?
@ 39:06 – I’ve heard the view expressed before that protests, even peaceful ones, are not something that Christians should be a part of because Jesus set the example of letting his own rights be trampled in silence and with humility. In light of the recent protests both for black rights and the protests for churches to reopen, what to you guys think? Are some peaceful protests ok and others not? (Not talking about looting and rioting.) What is or should the role of political activism be in a Christian’s life?

@ 25:57 – What are the three heavens?
@ 29:16 – Regarding suicide. I have heard some people say people who commit suicide will get to heaven but they will lose their rewards. Is this true?
@ 35:01 – In a resent message you said that God sometimes says “no” to our prayers. How do we know when God is saying “No?” And how do we know we should stop persisting in prayer if the best prayers are persistent prayers?
@ 40:48 – We don’t hear much about Simon of Cyrene who helped Jesus carry the Cross. Was he black? What else do we know about him?
@ 43:57 – What do you think about pastors supporting Black Lives Matter?

Questions & Timestamps:

@ 14:46 – Will God judge christians for their good works for him as well? Is there different levels of rewards for those more faithful to Christ with their life?
@ 23:33 – What are the definitions of exegesis, eisegesis and hermeneutics.
@ 28:48 – Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit the unpardonable sin. Would we say now that all people who are alive and not Believers are blasphemers?
@ 37:07 – 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 describes “the manifestation of the Spirit given to each one for the profit of all.” Does this mean every believer has been given one of the gifts listed in verses 8-10? Are some people given more than one? How do I know which one I have been given? If you have the time, can you briefly explain what each of these mean with examples.
@ 50:48 – How do you two pray for people who are ill, have a long term illness like MS. People who are having surgery. Those who are terminally ill? Do you pray for healings for everyone? How do you use “God’s will”? Do you pray God’s will in ALL SITUATIONS?

@ 26:35 – Do you think that a future covid19 vaccine could be the mark of the beast and that we’re this close to the rapture?
@ 34:16 – 1,200 Churches in California are planning on holding Sunday, May 31 in their facilities. Are we going to join them?
@ 39:06 – So God created man and without asking them now holds them to a standard after being born in a sinful state, and then tortures him, for all eternity, after man doesn’t live to His standard…?
@ 44:03 – The 3 billionaires have the following hobbies.
Bill Gates plays chess.
Warren Buffet plays the ukulele.
Mark Cuban exercises 6 days a week.

What do you two do or what hobbies do you have to relax?
@ 49:13 – On Sunday, Pastor Miles said that before God renders judgement, He always offers grace and extends words of peace. Are you saying that this is extended to non-believers. And when and how does this happen?
@ 51:51 – Monday on Channel 18, Pastor Miles mentioned Matthew 12:36: “I tell you that everyone will have to give an account on the day of judgement for every Idle word spoken.” IDLENESS is the quality, state, or condition of being lazy or inactive. The quality of groundless, worthlessness or triviality. Now the teasing, joking around aren’t those “idle words” you guys do and we all do?
@ 56:18 – Point 3 said that God’s judgment will be final and complete. What do you think about purgatory? What about universalism? Do you believe that hell is eternal torment? Or what do you think about annihilationism?
@ 1:01:32 – If Jesus and God are one how can it be that Jesus doesn’t know when He will return?

@ 27:20 – 2 Kings 13:20-21 tells us of a man being thrown into Elisha’s grave and miraculously being revived once his body touched the bones. I assume that Elisha has been dead for a while if only his bones are there.
1) why is his grave open?
2) are these 2 sentences here to show us that even though Elisha wasn’t caught up to God in the same way as Elijah, he was still as important a prophet as Elijah?
@ 35:58 – Pastor Mark, did you make friends with a lot of flies and mosquitoes while recording the message?
@ 37:31 – When will we begin Pastor Miles’ plan for meeting from house to house?
@ 42:27 – What are your views on Civil Disobedience in light of some business and churches planning to disobey governmental guidelines?
@ 46:35 – 1 Peter 4:6 speaks of the Gospel preached even to those who are dead. Just to dive in a little bit on this verse. Is this meaning those that are spiritually dead?

Questions & Timestamps:

@ 27:38 – Doesn’t Scripture say that no one knows when Jesus is coming back? Does Jesus not know when He is coming back?
@ 29:29 – Was Goliath possibly related to the giant Zamzummim?
@ 32:21 – You mentioned in your message on 2 John that 2 John was written “from” Ephesus. What city was it written “to”?
@ 34:55 – Who are those in the ‘great cloud of witnesses?’ (Hebrews 12)
@ 36:47 – “But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! ” 1 Cor 15:51. Does this happen with our bodies as well? I’ve never thought hard about it, but I’m assuming our bodies will be changed as well. Now would this be where we get our new bodies? And what would happen with our dog? If this were to happen, would God just leave our animals to fend for themselves? If we care so much about our pets, why wouldn’t God care even more to care for them in this event?
@ 44:49 – In point 2 you said “God will allow you to long jealously for the life and possession of others, to provoke you to move into the life He desires for you.” How is that possible if jealousy is sinful?
@ 54:47 – I feel like I’ve been “meandering aimlessly.” What do I need to do to not keep doing that?
@ 1:13:56 – Your points on Sunday kind of make it seem like God is heavy handed. I haven’t thought of God like that before. I’m not sure how to reconcile that with Jesus?

@ 29:44 – You talked about Enoch in last week’s weekly email. There’s a Book of Enoch, why isn’t it in the Bible?
@ 32:12 – I’ve been anxious during this time. Is it ok to take medication for anxiety?

@ 39:59 – In Acts 16, what does it mean that the Holy Spirit kept Paul and his team from going into Asia Minor and Bithynia? How did the Holy Spirit do that? Our how different they know it was the Holy Spirit?
@ 44:32 – Is it ok to use the “Holy Ghost” instead of saying the “Holy Spirit” I used to hear that term in Pentecostal churches.
@ 49:49 – Could you please explain what The prayer request for Pastor Mark was. He suspects he can’t sleep because it is a “Spiritual Issue”. What does that mean?
@ 56:08 – I’m assuming that based on Deut 1:41-46, it is possible to do the right/godly thing at the wrong time and therefor be out of God’s will. How do I make sure it is the right time?

Questions & Timestamps:

@ 15:34 – Monday night on TV Pastor Miles shared about transcendence. He mentioned “near death experiences.” There was a popular book about a boy who said he experienced one which turned out to be not true. Dr. Oz on TV will periodically have on people who say they experienced it. I think they are questionable. What do you think?
@ 22:07 – Are there any Prophets today? On the 2 “Christian ” TV stations. So many of the guest speakers- both men and women say God told them or God spoke to them them about various subjects both current and future events.
@ 30:02 – Deuteronomy 1:35 – Israel won’t be allowed into the promised land due to unbelief and disobedience; 2:15 the older generation has died and they can go in. What did the people think during this time- were they just waiting for the older generation to die and the younger generation to grow up and be strong. For 38 eight years just waiting – a very trying time for Moses knowing he would not enter too.
@ 31:26 – My grandma and so many more Jewish people never heard about Jesus. Where is she in heaven or hell?
@ 38:03 – Question from last week’s point 1 — It seems like we will always be desperate for competent leadership if we are only given two main choices to choose from (rep/dem). How do you vote for “leaders” that are obviously not qualified yet they are your only options?
@ 47:07 – The corona virus has been called the Beast. Is this what the book of Revelation was talking about? I thought the beast was a super computer. What is your opinion?
@ 52:02 – I know you have taught 1 John. My question is on 5:16. The sin leading to death is the unpardonable sin, right? Should we not pray for those who don’t believe Jesus?
@ 55:30 – For the Rapture, I have heard we should be looking to the sky. Does that mean literally watching the sky for Jesus? Or be living your life in readiness being about the Father’s business?
