Pastors Q&A

Sunday May 12th, 2024 Q&A with Pastors Pastor Mike Booker & Pastor Tim Knowles 1) What does the Bible say about God's Word and different versions of it? What version of the Bible do you pastors prefer? What versions do they primarily teach from? And why? (II Timothy 3:16-17 / II Peter 2:20-21) 2) Why do we have Church on Sunday when Saturday is the Sabbath? (Matthew 28:1-6 / I Corinthians 16:1-2 / Acts 20:7 / Romans 14:5-6 / Colossians 2:16-17) 3) With understanding Moss Brook is more involved in the community than most church groups. Sponsoring community events and now doing after school Wednesdays; sure has its benefits. Why is so much time, money, and effort given to other countries when we have individuals here in our country that have never heard of God? Is it for the "acknowledgement" of helping those far away? Why don't we have missionaries work here on our home ground more? (Matthew 28:18-20 / Acts 1:8) 4) What does the Bible say about female pastors? And women in leadership roles? (I Timothy 3:1-13 / Titus 1:5-9 / I Corinthians 12:4-13 / Galatians 3:28) Follow up to that question: 1st Cor 14:34-35 has always confused me. We are supposed to read the Bible literally but if true, only men speak in churches?? Sunday AM Q&A 5/12/24 5) Where in scripture are transgender issues addressed? Is homosexuality a learned behavior or are people born that way? If the latter is true, how can that be if we are created in God’s image? (Genesis 1:27 / Genesis 2:18-25 / Leviticus 18:22 / Leviticus 20:13 / Romans 1:24-28 / I Corinthians 6:9-11) 6) What happens when someone dies by suicide? If a person has accepted Jesus as their Savior, does their suicide impact their place in heaven? Does suicide keep you from going to heaven if you are truly saved? (Romans 10:9-10 / John 10:28-29) 7) Why do some churches believe in purgatory? Are those that have died currently in Heaven or are they in some kind of purgatory waiting for Judgement Day? (II Corinthians 5:8 / Luke 16:19-31 / I Thessalonians 4:14) 8) What does the Bible say about the rapture and the tribulation period? Are we really living in the end times? (I Thessalonians 4:13-18 / I Thessalonians 5:1-11 / Revelation 6-16 / Matthew 24:14, 21, 44 / Acts 1:7)
