Am I Really Saved If I Struggle with Alcoholism?

Questions in this Episode

  1. What do I do when I don’t feel saved?
  2. My friend is saying that you have to believe in election and predestination to be a true Christian. What do you say to that?
  3. In Leviticus 16, the sacrifice of the scapegoat is mentioned. God commands the Israelites to send the scapegoat out to “Azazel.” All of the research I have done makes it seem like Azazel is a demonic spirit. If that’s right, why did God command Israel to make a sacrifice to Azazel?
  4. Were any of the people in the flood believers, and if so, what happened to them?
