Stand to Reason Weekly Podcast

Greg answers questions about relationships between former offenders and the offended on the new earth, applying Ezekiel 33:1–9 to Christians, handling a Sunday school situation, reading enough to get the author’s intent, and deceased loved ones communicating with us.
 
Topics:

Given that Christians are required to forgive but not to reconcile with each other, what will relationships between former offenders and the offended be like on the new earth? (02:00)

Should the passage in Ezekiel 33:1–9, where Ezekiel is appointed a watchman, be applied to believers today such that we’ll be held responsible for not warning non-believers of the coming judgment? (11:00)

Do you have any advice for how to handle a situation where a child in my wife’s Sunday School class was very upset about his parents fighting? (25:00)

How much of Genesis 1 do you have to read to get the author’s intent? (34:00)

Do deceased loved ones communicate with us from the dead, and if not, how can a loving son confront his parents about their belief in this after the death of their daughter? (50:00)

#STRask podcast with Greg and Amy

Greg answers questions about whether God has always been Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, his thoughts on women in ministry, how a layperson who isn’t into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way, and how to approach loved ones who are following a false prophet.
 
Topics:

Has God always consisted of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, was Jesus always intended to come in the same form of those created in his image, and does it necessarily follow that if God were to create anything, it would have to include beings made in his image? (02:00)

What are your thoughts on women in ministry? (16:00)

Do you have any ideas on how a layperson who is not into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way? (38:00)

How should I approach loved ones who are in a house church that follows a “prophet” who teaches things that are contrary to classical Christianity and even the gospel? (46:00)
