Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 0:00 - Intro 1. 3:08 {Was Jesus’ Death Suicide?} I need help responding to the objection that Jesus voluntarily going to the cross was suicide. I know this isn’t the case, but I’m having a hard time expressing why. 2. 20:23 {How Can We Sin if Indwelled?} How are we able to sin if the Holy Spirit is in us? 3. 24:52 {Defining Inerrancy} How can we biblically define inerrancy? Even the writers of the Chicago Statement seem to hold slightly different views on harmonization (according to Mike Licona). 4. 31:45 {Is Nakedness Inherently Sinful?} My 16 year old daughter was wondering why with the Fall in Genesis, shame is associated with being naked. What’s the correlation between sin, nakedness, and the Fall? I didn't really know. 5. 34:51 {How were Private Events Recorded?} Do you know how biblical authors recorded events, conversations, and moments that transpired despite being in private or in a one-man scenario, perhaps like Judas' death? 6. 43:08 {When did the Old Covenant End?} When did the Old Covenant officially end? Christ's birth? Death (Temple veil torn in 2)? Resurrection? Pentecost? 70 A.D. (destruction of the Temple)? Or was it a gradual "end" similar to U.S. slavery? 7. 49:05 {Overcoming Pride} I often feel myself getting prideful and I’m worried that if I don't get control over it, God will humble me. What are some ways to keep myself humble, before God does it for me? 8. 53:40 {Did God or an Angel Give Moses the Tablets?} How do we reconcile Exodus 31: 18 with Acts 7: 38, Galatians 3: 19, and Hebrews 2:2? I’m unconvinced that Scripture contradicts itself, but this lives in my head rent free and I need a resolution. 9. 57:55 {Why Pray for Others?} If Jesus is our final intercessor, why should we intercede for or pray over other believers' needs? Is this related to the spiritual realm and prayer delays, like in Daniel 10: 12-14? 10. 1:08:26 {Commentary Recommendations} What is your go-to commentary? -- Bonus Q: 1:11:00 {Co-Led Studies & Complementarianism} After watching your Women in Ministry series, I’d like to know if biblically, you believe a woman helping her husband teach a co-ed adult Sunday school class would be an elder-type role and would be wrong.

Claiming Christ's sacrifice on the cross was either child abuse or a bloodthirsty act is a typical response from the Islamic worldview. However, the Father was pleased to crush* the Son, putting [the Son] to grief; if the Son would render Himself [as] a guilt offering, the Father will see the Son's offspring, the Father would prelong the Son's days, and the good pleasure of the Father will prosper in the Son's hand. (Isaiah 53:10) *H1792 - דָּכָא dâkâʼ, daw-kaw'; a primitive root (compare H1794); to crumble; transitively, to bruise (literally or figuratively):-beat to pieces, break (in pieces), bruise, contrite, crush, destroy, humble, oppress, smite.

Accusing him of fabricating literary devices is a tall charge.

What if all of it was/is the fulfillment of the covenant(s)? And what if there was no chronological ending and starting point for the covenants? What if the context of one covenant becoming old is the same as the context of the old man and new man? What if the new covenant is just as old as the old covenant and it's the same one that came to Abraham? I think the dispensational view of soteriology in the covenants that Mike explores here is difficult to exactly align with the text because it's not taught there.

A note on question 5: I'm not sure the point about memorization really does all you are trying to get it to do. Sure, the disciples would have had large portions of the Torah memorized, but that does not mean they memorized verbatim everything people told them. Some of the things they recorded might have been words Jesus spoke over and over again to different crowds. On the other hand, in some of the private discourses it is entirely possible that they were paraphrasing. I like a lot of what Mike Licona says about inerrancy, and I don't think it has to be a slippery slope. Thanks for your thoughts though, at the end of the day trusting the LORD to communicate what he wants to communicate with is essential.

I think the shame in Genesis due to being naked was because they were no longer clothed in God's Glory white robes had disappeared.

Q11: I'm in my 60's and have taught SS most of my adult life. Before the lockdown, I was attended a church that had less than 100 attendees. I taught most every Sunday morning for years, until I finally had to take a break. Not a single man in that church would step up and teach for a few weeks. But, a wonderful, intelligent woman stepped up and volunteered to do it, and even though I am firmly in the complementarian camp and agree 100% that women can't lead or teach men in church, I let her do it. Was this wrong? Should I just suspended the class until I was rested and could continue?

I recommend a book called “Paul, the Jewish Theologian,” by Brad Young, if you want to learn about Galatians. Sadly, modern Christianity has used this book as an excuse not to follow Torah when in fact, Paul wrote this letter prior to making a temple sacrifice to prove to the brethren that he was NOT teaching against keeping Torah. And if Paul taught against following God we need to rip his writings out of our bibles.

@@Lynn-r8h Thanks for the book referral. Though it seems like if modern Christianity has used this book as an excuse for anything, then many modern Christians would know about it, it would be on the best seller list and in my church library. It's currently got 82 reviews on Amazon. So i guess at least 85 people have read it, unless some of them were fake reviews. Anyway, the New Testament tells us there was a meeting with Peter, Paul and others discussing whether gentile Christians needed to convert to Judaism and they decided the answer to that was NO. And God told Paul it was OK to break the Jewish dietary restrictions when he visited gentiles. Christ gave us two laws, which by default encompass all the 10 commandments and also the intentions of the heart count - I.e. if you lust in your heart after another man's wife you've already committed the sin of adultery in your heart. He did NOT say gentiles had to become Jewish. He said the religious rulers had added so many laws they were overburdening people. So this guy's book, whatever it says, is not what is influencing me. It's the Bible. I don't see any inconsistency between the OT and NT - what God wants from us and His plan of salvation is clear. I read with faith that God is the all-powerful, sovereign, loving, just, holy, awesome, Creator of the universe....God's message doesn't require a college degree or secret decoder ring. God also issued a warning to false teachers and people adding to His word.

The question I get is why doesn’t God just forgive us? Why does he require violence and human sacrifice for forgiveness when he’s all powerful and he knows if we’re repentant why wouldn’t he just forgive us and then they will go on to say that that is proof that man created God because Humans seek vengeance and violence. Also using a scriptures to answer these questions does not work with an atheist because they don’t believe in the Bible so you have to go outside the Bible to explain things to someone who thinks the Bible is not true.

This is why we get so disappointed and frustrated, even sometimes lashing out at ourselves. If we actually didn't love ourselves, we wouldn't want others to love us, express admiration to us, etc. The fact that we are upset for not measuring up, means we love ourselves and WANT to be someone that measures up.

Jesus dying on the cross is central to the gospel message along with the resurrection of Christ I Corinthians 15: 1-8. Further the Sacrificial death of Christ as the Lamb of God (John 1: 29), is something that will be noticed and will influence our worship of the Lord Jesus in eternity (Read Revelation 5: 5-10. To say that the Sacrificial and atoning death of Jesus the Messiah is suicide is blasphemy.

Yes, we can say that, @@lyndascotson1910 . However, that insinuates that what we have now is not "perfect." For example, I ask Christians to read the first three verses of Ezekiel and then ask them to tell me who is writing. Given that God is not schizophrenic, the question usually creates a conundrum. My point is that God was in control of the lives of ever single writer and editor, who had a hand in what we now have & know as Scripture. If most believers don't revise their idea of "inerrancy," atheists & cultists will eat them for lunch. My Ezekiel example is just one of MANY found in the Bible ... which is why I don't think the Byzantine/Alexandrian textform debates matter. Even when scribes added glosses, God was in control.

The problem with saying when did the Old Covenant end is that those who ask that question and believe that seem to teach a false doctrine attached to it. They will teach that because we are not under the Old Covenant we don't have to worry about obeying any of the Ten Commandments. (Of course, the O.T. system of animal sacrifice was done away with as well as the dietary laws were done away with when Jesus died on the cross.) Certain individuals teach that we are not under law but grace (Which I believe as well, but believe we should obey what Jesus commanded us to do.), they assume because we are not under law we don't have to obey any of those commands. Is it alright then if we commit adultery because we are not under the Old Covenant, or any of the other moral commands of God? It is absurd to think that we can disobey any of those commands except the Sabbath.(The sabbath is done away with). I have heard believers say that down through the years, that we are not under law so keeping any of that is legalism. Jesus brings us into deeper meaning of the Ten Commandments and said that if we hate someone or call them a fool we are in danger of the judgement (Just read the Sermon of the Mount (Matthew 5-7 chapters). We should know that all of the Ten Commandments except the Sabbath are enjoined upon us according to the N.T. In fact, those that believe in the Great Commission will sometimes leave out verse Matthew 28: 20. If we take the Great Commission seriously we must include verse 20 in that context. So what does it remind us of? Matthew 28: 20 "Teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (LSB), that is what Jesus said.

Something to think about when it comes to the law(Ten Commandments) Before the law was given was it wrong or a sin to murder someone? Before the law was it wrong or a sin to steal from someone? Yes it was and so much more that was wrong and sinful. There were nations that existed before the law was given that had some of the same laws that are found in the Ten Commandments. It’s not like murder was ok before the law was given. God was setting up a new nation and giving them a foundation for their governmental system that they would live by. Jesus came and not only showed that no one has or can live out the 10 commandments perfectly as required, he then shows that it’s actually more than what’s written, so no murder isn’t just physically killing somebody but it’s just hating someone. He show it is completely impossible for anyone to be perfect and actually follow the law, except for God, which He was in the flesh. When someone is saved it is still impossible for them to follow the law. That does not give them a license to sin though. Because they are saved and have the Holy Spirit they will seek to do what Jesus said summed up the entire law, to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. If you live by this command you will naturally please God without the law(Ten Commandments). The law is a mirror to show us how sinful we are, not to make us clean. Our faith in Jesus makes us clean.

@@onehappydawg I neither stated that the law could make us clean. Only the Blood of the Lamb of God (John 1: 29; I John 1: 8-9) can make us clean. Jesus died to save us from sin and He alone is the Savior. Jesus told us we must be born again of the Spirit (John 3: 3, 5). There is one way to check and see if we are genuinely born again and saved from sin. Notice, I John 2: 2-5 "He is God’s way of dealing with our sins, not only ours but the sins of the whole world. 3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. 4 The one who claims, “I know him,” while not keeping his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this person. 5 But the love of God is truly perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know we are in him." (CEB). It is true that before we came to Christ the Lord we couldn't keep God's commands. I know that because I came to Jesus as my Lord and Savor I couldn't stop using filthy and foul language. But. when I got saved and born of the Spirit there was a change. I stopped the filthy and foul language. I stopped smoking, I stopped a number of things that were sinful and wrong. I received a new nature and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to enable me to live a holy life according to God's word just like it said in I John 2: 4 "The one who claims, “I know him,” while not keeping his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in this person." Yes the true believer is enabled to live above those things of the old life because they have become a new creature in Christ. II Corinthians 5: 17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (KJV). Grace does not give us a license to sin. Romans 6: 1-2 "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?,2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?"

I don't know how somebody could think Jesus' death was easy if they knew anything about it. There was nothing easy about crucifixion: Being flogged, having nails driven through your body to attach you to a couple pieces of wood, having to hold yourself up just to take a breath. The Romans had pretty much perfected the art of tortuous death.

You cant have God's wrath "righteous and perfect" if he dumps it on an innocent victim and calls it "justice". Romans is very clear, you say??? Nowhere does Romans say 👉God👈 punished Jesus. Nowhere does scripture say the messiah had to do BOTH; fulfill the law AND suffer the penalty of breaking it. If Jesus "paid off our sin debt" then God FORGAVE/PARDONED absolutely nobody. Yes isaiah 53 says it pleased the Lord to crush him. Isaiah 53 does NOT say "why" it was pleasing. Isaiah 59.16 and isaiah 63.5 say God was pleased because he finally had ONE SERVANT worthy to bring salvation to His people. And the method by which salvation would come was the Messiah conquering death itself! Not the messiah paying the Father. That's II Timothy 1:10 That's Hebrews 2:14-15 That's I John 3:8 That's Colossians 2:14-15 You are wrong Mike.

Thank you for this beautiful teaching on Jesus sacrifice and the cross. And to think most of us too afraid to speak against woke!
First, Thank You for Your efforts and thought. I, Myself, have found Your Mind to be a wonderful gift... Secondly, by chance, would You go over Genesis chapters 1,2&3 with The following that You have? It would be a great help, because I am seeing that Many are missing the point that, "Adam, a.k.a Adam and Eve" were specifically created for the keeping of the Garden. They, being Adam and Eve defied God and were banished to a World inhabited by the Man and Woman of," The Sixth Day". Sin was introduced to the World, and only the line of Adam ate, and had access to, the Tree of Knowledge... Cain was able to take a wife because a Woman, aside from Eve exists, and Man, aside from Adam, exists... Now, think of the difference this distinction makes. There were/are bloodlines not bound by Gods punishment placed on Adam and Eve. The reason for God's Love and Why He Loves the World is comprehensive...

Hey Mike! Can you expound upon what you meant when you said (paraphrasing) that, when Jesus became human, he became human forever? I've never really considered that. Am I right to understand this to mean that God the Son, when he became flesh, changed His nature, irrevocably, becoming partially human forever?

Can you be a Christian and have progressive views on the Cross like that? The cross is our salvation if you devalue it and don't believe in it the way God says it is. How can you be a Christian, progressive or not?- Galatians 2:21, 1 Corinthians 15:17. Call the cross what you want( Suicide, child abuse, irresponsible, faked his death ect) but if, to you the cross is not for Salvation. How can you be saved. you quite ( or never really) believing(Threw out) in the gospel? When stuff like that is said it sounds like "the cross is foolishness to them."

I have been thinking about question number 4 in my mind for some time now, but I am not sure what to think about nakedness in light of what the Bible says about it. Here in Finland it is normal to go to a sauna completely naked even with total strangers, especially in public swimming pool buildings. It is also normal for little kids under the age of 6 to be temporarily naked in beaches when they change their clothing to swimming suits. I have only recently started questioning if Christians are allowed to go to sauna naked. When I am naked in those situations, I don't feel any shame and it feels perfectly normal, but when I think about what the Bible says about nakedness, I am not so sure about it anymore. Does anyone have any insight or opinions about this? Preferably someone who is in the same kind of situation as I.

The way I look at it, is the way CopyRights and CopyLefts exist. CopyLefts doesn't eradicate CopyRights. CopyLefts can only exist as long as CopyRights exists. If Copyrights were to go away, so would all Copylefts. I believe the Old covenant still exists and will always exists. However, no one can fall under the Old covenant anymore. Why? because the Levitical line and the ancenstry of Arron is gone. They cannot be recognized anymore.

Excellent Q & A. 2 points that I haven't seen yet in the comments (sorry if it's repeats): 1) There is absolutely a lot of amazing evidence for the resurrection, but the suffering of the apostles isn't the best part of it as the only suffering with historical evidence is Paul and Peter. James wasn't given a chance to repent or deny Jesus before his death and the other apostles have no historical evidence of their means of death until at least 1 to 2 centuries after their deaths and even then only in catholic sources. 2) The old covenant never ended. It is still around between God and the Jewish tribes. Paul even says you can choose to follow the law and put yourself under it, but that separates you from Christ (Galations 5:1-4). So this implies you can still put yourself under the first covenant, but that only judgement exists there as opposed to the grace and salvation offered by Jesus (as further outlined in many verses in Romans 7 and 8). The old covenant ceases for each individual when they accept Jesus and the new covenant (as you pointed out), but that does not end the old covenant.

Jesus was only human, or else He is not a worthy sacrifice. Maybe it's important in the whole "worshiping Him" circumstance that He was sent by Our Father or -was Our Father at one time or -became Our Father upon resurrection or something, but there was at least one moment (the "Father Why have You forsaken me?" moment?) when He was only human.

l 100% do NOT believe that the Cross was ''easy'' for Jesus. He not only had to endure the physical torture that day, but He _knew_ it was going to happen, and probably played it out in His head thousands of times. Also ...He knew He was going to have to endure the wrath of His Father. l think _that_ part was the worst, as it would be the opposite of the closeness He had always knew.
