The 3 Questions Podcast

How do I know if my social media use has become sinful? Are there ways to use it well, or should I just get rid of it all?Why do Baptist pastors typically avoid clerical robes, ornate chains, or crosses? What is the motivation behind that tradition?What does Ephesians 6:2 mean when it says children who obey their parents will “live long in the land”? Aren’t there many obedient children who still die young?

NIL and the Transfer Portal in college sports. Is it an evil temptation for 18-23yr olds, since the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil?   Is there any significance to the fact that everyone has blind spots in their character and personality? Couldn’t God have made us fully self-aware?   As I read the Gospels, I start wondering why John the Baptist is so unsure about Jesus and who Jesus is. The Father and Spirit seem to clearly reveal the identity of Jesus as God the Son at his baptism by John. Yet as recorded in Matthew 11:2-6, John sends his disciples to question Jesus. I know this is probably speculation on your part, but I wonder why John appears to be questioning this clearly observed, heard, and experienced baptismal event and message from God.

Why does David say in Psalm 51:4 “Against you, you only, have I sinned”? Didn’t he also sin against Uriah and Bathsheba in this instance?   My question came as a result of Pastor Doug's message a couple of weeks ago in Luke 23:27-31. While I recognize that Jesus was probably being specific about the times just prior to his crucifixion when the religious leaders were rejecting his teachings. Is it possible there is another prediction here in Luke? In this passage, is Jesus looking toward times such as today, when women bearing children is not seen as a virtue, but as a hindrance to their growth and prosperity? We see this view in many individuals (couples) putting off marriage, putting off having children, and looking only at their economic progress and financial security.  How can we still prioritize our spouse and marriage when small kids demand most of our time? help make a catchy podcast tittle

Why does David say, “Against You only have I sinned”?Is Jesus pointing to more than just the cross in Luke 23?How do we prioritize marriage when parenting is overwhelming?

1. How should I respond to the death of a person that I know died without faith in Christ?   2. Was the city of Babylon at or near the location of the earlier tower of Babel, or do they just sound similar and have no other major connection?   3. What is a good scripture to read and consider when I am going through suffering?

I was just wondering if there was anything else to get out of Joshua 15, where they are telling about all the land that is given, other than showing us God kept his promise? And in that same chapter, it talks about how the Jebusites were allowed to stay, and I didn’t know why that was either. At what age should I talk with my kids about issues of sex and sexuality?  What is the difference between psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs in Ephesians 5:19?

1. With the Olympics going on, it’s got me wondering where sports, health, and fitness fit into the biblical worldview.  2. Of what value is “secular history” if it has nothing directly to do with Bible times or church history? (Examples: the Han Dynasty, the invention and development of the automobile, or bootlegging and the mafia during Prohibition) 3. Who are some of your favorite unnamed people of the Bible, and why? 

1. What are some valuable things that young members in the church can gain from older members, and visa versa?   2. Why did Jesus choose Judas as an apostle, since Judas would one day betray him?   3. I am learning to pray. What are some key factors I need to know or keep in mind? make into a short podcast title

✅ 1. Where does the Bible speak about in-laws and how do we navigate healthy relationships with them?.✅ 2. Is today’s nation of Israel the same “Israel” referred to in Genesis 12:3 — or is that fulfilled in the Body of Christ (the Church)?✅ 3. Why does every generation anticipate the return of Christ if no one knows when it will happen?

1. If Adam and Eve’s children married one another as siblings, why don’t siblings date and marry each other now?   2. I know there are lots of angles and applications we could consider regarding A.I. However, in general how should we be thinking about and approaching A.I.?  3. If Jesus is God, how could he die?

Is it weird or hard to understand that Jesus considers all sin the same?My grandmother is such a good person — is it right to think of her as a sinner?Do we know whether Barabbas ever became a believer in Christ?

Question 1 — The Seven Spirits of GodWhere can I find more information about the “seven spirits of God” mentioned in Revelation 4:5 and 5:6? I’ve heard the Book of Enoch may talk about this—does it? Is there more information elsewhere in the Bible, and is the Book of Enoch the best resource for understanding this?Question 2 — Moses Seeing God / Christ in the Old TestamentIf passages like 1 Timothy 6:16, John 1:18, John 6:46, and others say no one has ever seen God, but Exodus 33:11 says Moses spoke to the Lord “face to face,” does this mean Moses was speaking to Jesus in the Old Testament? If not, how do we reconcile these verses? And if Jesus says in John 5:46 that Moses wrote about Him, where else in the Old Testament can I look to find Jesus spoken of by Moses?Question 3 — Four Gospel AccountsIf the Gospels are biographies of Jesus, why did God want us to have four different accounts instead of just one?

1. I’ve heard people use 2 Corinthians 8, specifically verse 8, to say that tithing to the church is voluntary, and not a requirement for believers. How do we biblically support the belief that tithing is a necessary part of a Christian’s life? 2. How did we get our 66 canonized books of the Bible? Other religions, like Catholics, have 74 I think. What criteria, method, and who determined the 66? 3. If the Bible alone is the word of God, why is it ok or even encouraged to read other books or learn from other sources?

Exodus 34 is cruising along, talking about the attributes of God—how He is compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love… and then BAM!!! All of a sudden it’s “…visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” Exodus 34:7 ESV. Seems contradictory.  How do we connect those dots? What does Numbers 21:14 mean when it says “the Book of the Wars of the LORD”? I think the Lord may want me to meet with a couple of other guys weekly to do some discipling. What should I be thinking about, and how should I get started? 

1. How do these parables about prayer relate to parenting?) Luke 18:1-7 (Parable of the Unjust Judge) and 11:5-8 (Parable of the Midnight Friend) seem like Jesus is teaching that we should always pray and not give up. Am I correct in believing that both of these stories are teaching us not to give up on asking God for something until we get it? And if that is the case, how does this fit with our human parenting when there are times we need to tell our kids “Don’t ask again. I already told you no.” Should we tell our kids “Keep asking, but don’t hold your breath”?2.How do I know if my anger is sinful or righteous?   3.Is it lazy to make good sleep a priority?

Did Old Testament believers get baptized?) A person asked if baptism is part of salvation?? His stance was the thief on the cross was still under the old covenant because Christ had not yet died for our sins. This got me to wandering did the followers of Christ in the Old Testament get baptized? If so why don’t we see any record on this in the Old Testament? The first time we see a baptism before Christ death on the cross was, when John the Baptist baptized Jesus.   What is the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention, and how does it work?   I wanted to get some clarification on 1 Tim. 6:17-19. From what I've read in the Bible so far, it sounds like Jesus and God have some Communist tendencies without the bad stuff… is that accurate, or am I reading it wrong? 

I hear people use the word revival in a spiritual sense. What does that word mean? What is a spiritual revival?   As a new Christian, I’m looking for concrete instructions for Christian living. Where in the Bible should I be reading?   What is some good advice about building friendships both inside the church and out in the world?

Why does it matter if I attend church services? Isn’t the main thing that I’m a believer in Jesus?   Why is it important whether or not I’m in a Sunday School Group?   How do I know where and how to serve the church? I know I’m supposed to be part of building up the local church.www.myshbc.com

Why is suicide wrong if it is what the person wants, and it wouldn’t hurt anyone else?   My teenager is self-absorbed—mostly thinking of themselves and not the good of others most of the time. Is this just a phase or something I should be concerned about?   What are some of your preferred ways to remain a lifelong learner? 

2 Corinthians 8:21 says we should try to have an honorable reputation in the sight of man. But Jesus said that we should expect to be slandered as we follow him as Lord and Savior. So how do I know if it’s a situation where I should or shouldn’t care what people will think of me?   How do I lead my kids toward the Lord without cramming it down their throats and causing them to resent the faith?   As a married couple how can we resolve conflicts in a healthy way? What are some principles we should keep in mind?

How do I forgive someone when I know the pattern of their life is the pattern of a liar?   3. As a sports fan, I’m wondering can a Christian compete in sports, hoping to win and opponents to lose?

1. How can God be a God of love when we find him commanding extreme military conquests of nations in the Old Testament?   2. Can we gain wisdom, insight, and godly teaching from people with glaring sin in their lives? (For example: Martin Luther’s antisemitism, George Whitefield owning slaves, or Martin Luther King committing adultery)  3. This podcast uses the term biblical worldview. What is a worldview? And what makes it biblical?

1. Is it right to tell authorities when a minor says they are being harmed or abused? Wouldn’t that be breaking confidentiality or gossiping? What if I’m not sure if it’s true?  2. Does God equally desire every individual person to be saved? If not, how do we genuinely share the gospel with people not knowing if God truly wants them saved but we want them saved?   3. When do you know that you’re ready to get married?

1. How can I grow in my prayer life? 2. When I hear someone talk about evangelism, I feel both guilty and nervous. Guilty that I don’t talk to people about Jesus more. Nervous to talk about Jesus at all. How can I overcome this? 3. As a Christian in leadership roles, what are some leadership principles from the Bible? I want to lead people well as God would want.

1. Will there be different degrees of eternal punishment in hell?  2. Is making a figure or picture of Jesus breaking of the second commandment? 3. What are some things I should be doing in my personal devotion time—any advice or best practices? What do your own devotional times look like?more information @ www.myshbc.com

1. James 1 says that God cannot be tempted, but Jesus was tempted, and Jesus is God. What do we do with this?   2. If church history is not the Bible, is it important to learn about? And if it is important, how can I learn about it?   3. When severe weather comes, I have some friends who intentionally choose not to take any precautions, because they say that God has their days numbered—if it’s their time to go, it’s their time to go. Is this the right attitude? 

1. I got to thinking about faith now days and how the men back then were able to perform miracles through their faith in Jesus. That makes me think that the people now don't have the same faith as they did back then, otherwise we would be able to do the some miracles as them... I hope that came across right   2. I’m in an empty nester nearing retirement, now what? In marriage? In time, skill, and resource management? What should I be thinking about and focusing on in this new chapter of my life?   3. Is it ok for God to say he is a jealous God in Exodus 20? I thought jealousy was a sin.

1. I heard you mention on the podcast that a proverb is not a promise. Is that true for every proverb in the book of Proverbs? Is there no proverb that is also a promise?  2. I've been re-reading 1 and 2 Kings and think I've noticed a trend: when a king does right by the Lord, his mother is named. If he does evil, his mother is not named. Is there a reason/significance for this?   3. What are we supposed to take away from the story of Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis 32? If he was wrestling with God in human form, would that mean he was wrestling with Jesus?

1. I’ve heard people say that Halloween is also called Reformation Day. What does that mean, and what should I know about the Reformation?   2. Why does Jesus tell people on multiple occasions not to make public who he is? Why would he conceal his identity?   3.

How can I shield my kids from this stuff?

1. There is a friend group that I’m no longer as involved in due to life circumstances. One of those friends has come to me with a complaint about others in the group.

  1. During a Sunday night family dinner, my 4-year-old grandson asked why God created annoying insects??  Like mosquitos and flys....No one at the table had an answer. As annoying as fly's are they do have a purpose...they do complete the circle of life.  But what about mosquitos, ticks, fleas, etc.   2. Part 1: As a believer how can I vote for a candidate that doesn’t stand for anything I believe. I always thought that you should vote for a person and not the party. But this year it is extremely difficult to find anything worth voting for. Part 2: How can our Christian legislators support some of the candidates who are so anti-Christian.   3.

1. I know that when scripture repeats something, it is supposed to get our attention for emphasis. As I’ve been reading in Proverbs, it has been repeated that it is better to live on the corner of a rooftop (in the desert, etc.) than with a quarrelsome wife. What is the application of this repeated Proverb (21:19; 27:15-16)?   2. How should I navigate the world of phones and devices with my young kids?   3.

1. I was having a discussion with someone about Bible Versions. He is of the school of thinking that the King James is the only inerrant and infallible word of God. He proceeded to tell me that the ESV is missing verses such as Matthew 18:11. Do you have any insight on this topic for me?   2.

**100th ALL TIME EPSIODE**!!!!!! 1. Why do we have Church on Sunday instead of the Sabbath?—Christ rose the day after the Sabbath.   2.

1. As a Christian whose sins are already forgiven through the finished work of Christ, is it wrong to ask forgiveness for indwelling sin as I continue to grow? Should I focus on “confessing and repenting” of continual sin, as opposed to asking “forgiveness”?   2. How do the Bible and science relate to each other? Specifically regarding origin of the universe, and age of the earth, and evolutionary processes?)  I’ve never had a problem believing in creation and believing in science.  My God made man and my God created science as well.  He is big enough to have done both. The Bible doesn’t tell us everything about creation, it doesn’t tell us how long a day was.  It could have been 24 hours. It could have been 24,000 years.  I live in Norman, there is a museum of natural history right down the street.  To deny that the dinosaurs existed seems almost ludicrous.  Why isn’t more said about how the Bible and science are related and how one offers explanations for the other.  After Doug’s sermon last Sunday this and other related questions seem to be popping into my brain.  I don’t believe that I was formed when two molecules accidentally collided in a pool of mud.   But if that’s how God wanted to do it, who am I to question.  I believe the Bible is the infallible word of God.  Why can’t we use it to help explain science.   3. Believing that there are lessons to be learned from Church history, both for good and for bad, what is a favorite story/lesson from the Christians that have gone before us?

1. In Job 1, why is it called the “fire of God” when it was really fire from Satan?) In Job 1,  God gives Satan permission to attack all that Job has. Verse 16 says the fire of God fell from heaven. Why was this called the "fire of God" when it was really fire from Satan? Was this an unique power granted by God for this limited purpose or does Satan really have the power to cause supernatural events like this on earth, but he can't exercise it due to  God's intervention? Or did God do this (described as fire of God) at Satan's request as part of proving His point to Satan that Job was righteous and wouldn't reject Him? (because all other recordings of fire falling from heaven are by God)   2. In Luke 9, James and John ask Jesus if He wants THEM to call down fire from heaven. I can imagine why they might say "Jesus, why don't YOU call down fire from heaven". Why did James and John think that they had the ability to summon fire down from heaven? 3. What does it mean to submit to your husband?) I know it says “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.” However, what does this mean? In what aspects is this to be done and when are we going against God if we don’t or aren’t submitting?  Questions can be submitted at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠myshbc.com/contact.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ You can also text them at 505-258-2076 or email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected].⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ All questions will be kept anonymous.

1. Why do churches call their main auditorium the “worship center” or “main auditorium” rather than “sanctuary”?] When I was growing up churches usually called the place where we met (room where worship services were held) the sanctuary but I have noticed that most churches call that space the worship center or auditorium. I feel like sanctuary is supposed to point back to the Old Testament for example: Exodus 25:8 ESV "And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst." But anyways I have noticed that Augusta and I are the only ones that call it that in our friend group so I would be curious to know what our church thinks about the shift? And was the shift intentional for churches as a whole (not just our church)   2. Can a person be delivered from hell in their dying moments by believing in Christ as they are entering hell? I’ve heard people tell about dying in the hospital and while on their way to hell and torment remembered the gospel witness of family and friends and trusted in Christ. Then when resuscitated they lived to tell the story.   3. Is it possible to be too busy with good things, godly things, to the point it is sinful? If so, how do I know, and what should I do?   Questions can be submitted at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠myshbc.com/contact.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ You can also text them to 505-258-2076 or email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected].⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ All questions will be kept anonymous.
