From the Show

Can the Bible Solve America’s Immigration Issues?

Questions in this Episode

  1. If I am to pursue forgiveness, reconciliation, and restoration with those I have sinned against, must I pursue reconciliation with everyone I have ever wrong, even in my youth?
  2. Did Jesus really descend into hell?
  3. What is the best way to briefly share the gospel with people I meet in my everyday life?
  4. I live close to the border and I often hear people speaking disparagingly of immigrants. Doesn’t the Bible tell us to welcome the “foreigner” and “sojourner”?
  5. Is the Apostle’s Creed in the Bible?
  6. What is the nature of the resurrected body of Christ? Does it take up physical space? How does it differ from our physical bodies?
