17:18 What happens when someone receives the Word with joy? Do you think King Saul is an example of Matthew 13:20-21?
21:34 Is Queen Esther an example of what King Saul could have been if he didn't kill all the Amalekites, and then years later we have Haman an Agagite, why was he told to kill all the Amalekites?
24:39 How normal is it for Christians to give their lives to Jesus and then after repenting, praying and doing their best for years to still feel guilt in everyday activities of life?
29:40 Follow up - If Samuel was a demon, then the “You and your sons will be with me” doesn't count for Jonathan because Jonathan was righteous, correct?
33:06 I’ve noticed a lot of Christian pastors on YouTube are devoting time to teaching that UFOs and aliens are demonic. Do you think this is something the church needs to pay more attention to?
39:15 I'm thinking about all the children reported dead in the Gaza. Will the young souls go to heaven even if they are raised in a Muslim community? Teaching Reference: "Children and an Age of Accountability (Why Did Jesus Say, “Be Like a Child?")" https://youtube.com/live/Kz7MWZxiI5g
45:05 Psalm 82:1 - Who are the gods in the midst of God that helps him hold judgement? Daniel 4: 17 who are the watchers that helped decide on a sentence with God? Did God have other divine gods that assisted him with decisions?
53:12 What in your experience is a great way to cultivate genuine joy in our hearts so that it attracts those around us to Christ?
56:57 Follow up - I've heard several years ago that the rapture will be blamed on UFOs, and now we have all this UFO chatter, coincidence?
57:55 Follow up - If they are aliens why wouldn't God have told us? Would Jesus have to die for them too?
59:14 So if Hitler and the likes of him died as a baby he would be in heaven. The Bible says God in foreknowledge knows who will accept or reject?
