Jesus’s Supposed Questionable Morality, and Q&A

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (08/20/26), Hank responds to the assertion that Jesus had teachings of questionable morality, such as barring heaven to the wealthy, approving of slavery, and condemning sinners to hell.Hank answers the following questions:I’ve heard your comments on the book Heaven is for Real, but didn’t the Rich Man and Lazarus see each other in Luke 16? Jim - Calgary, AB (6:38)Was there a time when God told Israel to punish evil, but because they didn’t, God decided to punish them for not punishing the evil ones? Richard - OK (15:11)I was told that the Bible is more of a guide, and that heaven is not real and is just a state of being we find within us. How do I respond to that? Sarah - Kansas City, MO (18:11)Can you simplify what you said about the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, regarding how they could see without physical eyes? Peter - Bozeman, MT (21:23)Can you read a passage of Scripture and get something out of it, and then years later come back and get something different out of it? Peter - Bozeman, MT (24:41)
