What should be the Christian response to the war in Israel? - Ask Pastor Steve Ep.5

Steve Hartland — Wed, 06 Dec 2023 05:30:00 -0500

Here's today's 4 Questions:

Can a person accept Christ as their Savior while also denying His deity? In other words, can unitarians accept Christ's sacrifice and claim Him as Lord while still holding the unitarian position?

Relating to the current Israeli-Palestine conflict, what should be a Christian's response to those who hold a pro-Palestinan position? What about pro-Israel?

How should a believer go about the "Mark 16.9-20 problem" and should we view these final verses as canonical along with the rest of the Bible?

Apart from the Bible, what are your Top 3 books that you would recommend someone read to help them in their spiritual journey?

God "Repented"? and What About all the People who Never get to Hear the Gospel? - Ask Pastor Steve Ep. 1

Steve Hartland — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 05:00:00 -0400

We kick off this new series with a bang! Two interesting (and difficult) questions for Steve to tackle.

If you would like to submit a question to Pastor Steve please text the word "Question" to 410-220-2977. (Please let us know in the text if you would like to be anonymous or you can list your name and where you're from!

Here are the questions for episode 1:

Question 1 - Here's one that is salvation related that has some meat to it, "What does it mean when God repents in the Bible, and more importantly, how that plays into our interpretation of the word when reading passages such as Mark 6:12, Luke 15:7, Acts 3:19?" I have a good biblical understanding of this myself, and I feel like it highlights that we need not repent from sin to go to Heaven, but to repent from unbelief, to belief on Jesus Christ, as it's our faith alone on Him that gets us to Heaven. That's my 2 cents at least! I don't mind my name being attached at all.

Question 2 - "As Christians, how do we reconcile the fact that there are billions (maybe even hundreds of billions) of people who lived both before Jesus and since, who never heard the gospel and have therefore been doomed to an eternity in hell? What makes us, the church of modern-day America, the fortunate few? Why would a loving God enforce an infinite penalty on billions of souls who, in life, never received a chance at salvation? They are suffering right now, and will be suffering long after we are dead, and they were helpless to prevent it."
