Bonus Q & A (Patreon Special): Masturbation, Annihilation, Cussing, LGBTQ, and How to Share the Gospel

Welcome to a sneak peek of the Bonus Q&A episode, part of the Theology in the Raw premium subscription.  In the full episode, we discuss: 00:00 Introduction  00:50 What is the best Biblical argument against masturbation? I've always heard it is a sin, but I can't see why. That rule seems like a heavy burden for many.  6:18 Most modern church gatherings are focused on the “sermon”. Was this the case in the early church? Is the sermon more akin to prophecy or teaching?  21:03 What convinced you of the annihilationist view of Hell?  31:08 Friends are saying it's okay for Christians to cuss, as long as it's used in a positive context (x*#& yeah!) not tearing someone down (f*%# you). Your thoughts?  38:07 If LGBTQ issues are not an agree to disagree issue, what does that look like practically? Leave churches? End friendships? Etc?  42:18 There seems to be a fear from Complementarians that if you affirm women in leadership, you will eventually affirm Same Sex marriages. Have u seen this 2 be true  48:25 How would you share the Gospel one on one? Would you share the Romans Road? Or Bridge Illustration? Or similar to NT Wright share about Heaven coming here?  53:47 What’s your view on tithing? Many people I know see it as a taken-for-granted requirement, but the NT never says tithe, just to be generous. 57:25 "Marriage" not found in the Bible? Jennifer Grace Bird suggests this - are you familiar with her work/reading of scripture in how she approaches this? Thoughts?  1:00:54 your eschatology? Also, do you think that the pre-, post-, a-millennial ideas or a helpful framework anymore?  1:06:22 My preschooler was asked to share pronouns daily in school. How should I approach/discuss transgender topics with my *young* children in the progressive PNW?  1:13:42 A lot gets labeled as being of "The Fall" - it seems overused. I don't see the application reading Gen, Romans, 1 Corinth, etc. Is this "Biblically" merited?  1:18:20 Rapid Fire Questions… If you've enjoyed this content, please subscribe to my channel!  Support Theology in the Raw through Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theologyintheraw Or you can support me directly through Venmo: @Preston-Sprinkle-1 Visit my personal website: https://www.prestonsprinkle.com For questions about faith, sexuality & gender: https://www.centerforfaith.com My Facebook public page: https://www.facebook.com/Preston-Spri...
