"Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" biblequestions.org

Some of the questions include: Must a person be baptized after salvation to be truly saved? Can we lose our salvation?

There are many methods of teaching in the Bible, such as direct instruction, parables, allegories, and other techniques used to help those being taught to learn the Truth. In today's episode, we will examine teaching by paradox, which a method of teaching that uses statements or truths that appear contradictory on the surface, but reveal deeper spiritual realities when understood in context. Some of the paradoxical statements we will discuss: To live we must die We must become a fool to be wise We find rest by taking on a yoke We can see the invisible biblequestions.org

Many people in and out of the Lord's church make statements which sound good, but when they are put to the test from God's word, they are proven to be false. In this episode, we will consider some of these statements and how they often lead men astray. We will discuss these statements: “One church is just as good as another” “It just feels right” or “God just wants me to be happy” “God is loving and will show mercy on us in the end”  “God will not hold me accountable for what I do not know” “I do not need to know all of the Bible to be saved” biblequestions.org

As we go through life, there are times where it seems like everything is going wrong. We see disease and pestilence, economic disruption, frustration, anger, depression, suicide, etc. and wonder if it can get any worse. What’s a person to do? Whom do you turn to when everything in your world is collapsing all around you? Well, the good news is the Bible has the remedy and helps us to maintain perspective and actually rejoice and count our blessings. In this episode, we will discuss: Reasons to rejoice and count our blessings How we can actually rejoice in adversity and tribulation Answer questions submitted on this subject biblequestions.org

In this episode, we consider other responses to the Truth from those in denominations and within the Lord's church. We will discuss: How many believe in God and accept some of His word, but they will modify it How some accept the Truth but do not practice it Why some hear the Truth and reject it Questions that have been submitted on this subject biblequestions.org

As mankind is exposed to the God’s word, there are different responses to it. Man's response can vary from outright rejection, to accepting for a short period of time, to accepting it completely. In this episode, we first look at the parable of the Sower and examine the response to the Truth by different types of hearts. We will also examine: Why some fail to understand fundamental Bible teaching How our attitude towards the truth directly affects our ability to understand it biblequestions.org
