Biblical Answers to Questions Christians are Asking Today.

These podcasts give a biblical perspective to questions most groups don’t tend to answer. The content is presented by Dave DeWitt. Dave lives in western Michigan. He graduated from Michigan State University with a BS in mathematics in 1968, a Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1972 and later a Doctor of Ministry degree in 1985. For the last 40 years he and his wife Ellen have taught the Bible in many countries. During these years of teaching, they have encountered many valid questions which deserve a biblical answer. These podcasts address those questions.

  1. 73

    Swearing in the Bible

  2. 72

    Link Between Temptation and Sin

    Is it sinful to be tempted or only when we submit to the temptation? In this podcast Dave DeWitt will explore the connection between temptation and sin.

  3. 71

    Angels

    Are angels real? Are they living among us? Do they marry and have children? When were they created? How many are there? In this podcast Dave DeWitt will talk about angels answering these questions and clearing up a lot of false ideas about angels.

  4. 70

    Wisdom of the World and the Wisdom of God

  5. 69

    The Age of the Earth

    Was the Earth created by God at a certain point in time or did it evolve over billions of years? Dave Dewitt will show how the Bible and science claim a young Earth.

  6. 68

    Water Baptism

  7. 67

    Christians Gathering In Small Groups

    In this podcast Dave DeWitt will discuss the question, “Does the Bible say anything about the size our assemblies should be?”

  8. 66

    God and the Individual

    Is God interested in populating heaven, bringing social justice to the world, influencing politics, or filling large assemblies or is He interested in individual people? This is Dave DeWitt’s subject in this podcast.

  9. 65

    Calling God She

    In this podcast Dave DeWitt will answer the question, “Is it biblically permissible to call God “She.”

  10. 64

    Are All the Sins the Same

    Since any sin keep us from going to heaven and facing a holy God but all sins are paid for on the cross, doesn’t that make all sin the same? In this podcast Dave DeWitt will explore the answer to that question.

  11. 63

    Difference Between Atonement and Passover

    If Jesus is the atonement for our sins, why did He die on the Passover instead of the Day of Atonement?If Jesus atoned for our sins why are animals sacrificed as an atonement in the future Millennial Kingdom?The answer Dave DeWitt demonstrates in this podcast is that Jesus’s death was never called an atonement for sin but He was called our Passover.

  12. 62

    Progressive Dispensationalism

    Will the promises given to Old Testament Israel progressively also come true in the church? This is the foundation of Progressives Dispensationalism and that’s the subject of this podcast where Dave DeWitt will demonstrate the difference between traditional dispensationalism and the progressives.

  13. 61

    Did Jesus Speak in Aramaic or Greek

    Most New Testament scholars teach that Jesus spoke in Aramaic so we don’t have the actual words of Jesus since the New Testament is written in Greek. In this podcast Dave DeWitt will demonstrate that Jesus spoke and taught in Greek so the gospels have the actual words of Jesus.

  14. 60

    Muslims Becoming Christians through Dreams

  15. 59

    Dreams and Visions

    In this podcast Dave DeWitt will be talking about dreams and visions from God in the Bible and in the church.

  16. 58

    Why Knowledge Requires the Fear of God

    This podcast is basically an analysis of Proverbs 1:7, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge. It is one thing to say the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom but why knowledge. It seem that an atheist can acquire the knowledge to drive his car and Jews can develop technology without the fear of God. So how is that possible. That is what Dave DeWitt will be discussing on this podcast.My Thesis is: The fear of the Lord is the only path to truth (the way things actually are). So there is an incapable connection between knowledge and the fear of God.

  17. 57

    Phineas and Jealousy of God

    In this podcast Dave DeWitt will follow the action of a young Levite priest who is praised by God for killing two people while they are having sex. And the reason for the killing is not just the sex.

  18. 56

    1 + 1 = 2

    IntroIn this podcast Dave DeWitt will demonstrate the significance of mathematics and it’s connection to theology.

  19. 55

    Two Different Views of Salvation

    In this podcast Dave DeWitt will demonstrate that "works of faith,” “obedience of faith,” “yielding to His lordship,” “the pursuit of holiness,” or a “decision to forsake all unrighteousness,” None of these things will save anybody.

  20. 54

    Christians Mysticism

    In this podcast Dave DeWitt will show that the idea that God speaks to people through circumstances or mental telepathy is not found in the Bible. Biblical revelation is always in words.

  21. 53

    Should Christians Keep the Mosaic Law

    Should Christians keep the Law given to Moses? Should Christians keep the Law except the Ceremonial Law? Does Sunday keeping replace Sabbath keeping for Christians? These are some of the issues Dave DeWitt will be talking about on this podcast.

  22. 52

    Maturity

    How does a person become mature? What is the difference between a mature person and an orderly person? Do we become mature by blending chaos and order or does maturity require escaping order altogether? Can we be chaotic in some areas of our life, orderly in other areas and mature in others? These are some of the questions Dave DeWitt will address on this podcast.

  23. 51

    Love Makes Us Vulnerable

    There is this idea about love, that says “love makes us vulnerable.” The more we love someone the more open we are to being hurt by them. In this podcast Dave DeWitt suggests that is not true of love because it is not the biblical idea of love.

  24. 50

    Kingdom of God on Earth

    As Christians, how should we define ministry? By spreading the gospel and teaching the Bible or helping the poor and destitute people of the earth? Is the kingdom of God on earth something we bring about, with God’s help, or something Jesus brings about at His Second Coming, without our help? Are we to focus on influencing our culture and the cultures of the world toward Christian values? Or should we focus on reaching people for Christ out of the world without trying to change its cultures? These are some of the issues Dave DeWitt will discuss on this podcast.

  25. 49

    Immigration

    What should be the Christian attitude about people immigrating into their country? Should Christians help them or turn them in to the government to be deported? This is the issue Dave DeWitt will deal with on this podcast.

  26. 48

    The Human Soul

    What is the human soul? Where does it come from and where is it going? Do animals have a soul? Does God create a soul every time someone is born? These are some of the issues Dave DeWitt will be discussing on this podcast.

  27. 47

    Hell

    Is hell a real place? Is it in the center of the earth? Who goes to hell? What is it like? How long are people there? In this podcast Dave DeWitt will be considering what the Bible has to say about questions like these.

  28. 46

    Friendship

    What is it about friendship that makes it seem almost miraculous? How is friendship different from fellowship, or love? Is romance a form of friendship? These are some of the questions Dave DeWitt will be considering on this pod cast.

  29. 45

    The Far Distant Future

  31. 43

    A Crisis of Faith

  32. 42

    Is Faith a Gift from God?

    Ephesians 2:8-9 says,For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works so that no one may boast.So which one is a gift from God, our faith or our salvation?

  38. 36

    Abortion and the Human Spirit

    The Bible does not specifically address the subject of abortion. So, to get God’s mind on the matter we need to discuss the nature of the human in the womb.

  41. 33

    What Does the Bible Say About Bringing In the Kingdom of God Through Cultural Transformation

    Is it the mission of Christians to transform the world into the kingdom of God? Some argue that mankind, as God’s representatives on earth, is to carry on where God left off. But is that the biblical model for believers in Jesus Christ? Did Jesus ever make anyone less poor? These are some of the questions Dave DeWitt will deal with on todays podcast.

  42. 32

    Cultural Transformation

    The world is headed over a cliff morally. The world’s answer is “social justice,” a compassionate distribution of the world’s economic goods. Should Christians be involved in transforming the world into a place where Christian values pervade all societies? Where does Christian charity begin and end when it comes to being involved in social aid to needy places in the world? This is the issue Dave DeWitt will discuss in this podcast.

  46. 28

    Capitalism and Socialism

    Why is it that we live better than the Pharaohs of Egypt and the Caesars of Rome – economically?

And what does the Bible say about all of that? These are the issues Dave DeWitt addresses in today’s podcast.

  47. 27

    What the Bible Says about Apostles

    What is a New Testament apostle? Was Paul a true apostle? Was Matthias the right replacement for Judas? Is it possible that there are apostles in the church today? These are the types of questions Dave DeWitt will be discussing in this podcast.

  48. 26

    Annihilationism

    Do the biblical words for “forever” always mean, time without end? Since hell is called “the second death,” doesn’t that mean people who go there just cease to exist? These and other questions posed by annihilationists will be discussed by Dave DeWitt in this podcast.

  49. 25

    Discipleship in the First Century Church

    Discipleship in the first century was not connected to any temple or mosque or sanctuary. It was not associated with any liturgy, priesthood, or religious calendar.
