3 Questions Podcast

1. How does the Bible speak about art? Are there warnings or encouragements? 2. Was John the Baptist actually/literally Elijah the prophet since Elijah never died? (based on Mathew 11:7-14; Malachi 3:1, 4:5; 2 Kings 2:11) 3. I've enjoyed the Chosen video series and appreciate that it was added to the church app. I didn't grow up in church and always assumed the Bible heroes lived at an almost superhuman level. The Chosen seems to help fill in the gaps between stories and shows the disciples and Jesus as very human. What are your thoughts? 3 Questions is a weekly podcast from Southern Hills Baptist Church.

1. Weekends are typically two days of leisure break from work and/or school. Exodus 20:8 tells us to keep the Sabbath holy. In Isaiah 58:13-14 God promises wayward Israel blessings if they will again honor this holy day and seek God. Are we honoring the Sabbath and keeping it holy by coming to church and recreating the rest of the day or should we have additional intentional acts or focuses for ourselves and our family on Sunday to keep a focus on honoring our Lord and recognizing the holiness of the day? 2. In Hebrews 11, Samson is mentioned amongst men of great faith, but when I think of Samson, I see a life of consistent disobedience to God's commands. What would you think of Samson if you met him today? What can we learn from his life? 3. What birth control methods are ethical and unethical? 3 Questions is a weekly podcast from Southern Hills Baptist Church.

1. When people pray to other gods and something changes, did their god answer that prayer? 2. In John 3:5 when it mentions being born of water and spirit, is this referring to baptismal regeneration or does water refer/mean something else? 3. In Proverbs 18:24 is it that a person with many friends “must show himself friendly” or “will come to ruin”? I've seen it translated both ways 3 Questions is a weekly podcast from Southern Hills Baptist Church. Each week our ministers will answer three questions submitted by the congregation.

1. When the Bible talks about a coming new heavens and new earth, is the new heavens referring to space or where God lives? 2. How did the Jewish leaders explain the temple curtain being torn in Matt. 27:51? With the size of the curtain it presumably would have taken a long time to remake as they couldn't have just stitched it up since it must be one piece of fabric. So likely there would have been questions? Also it's interesting that we have the detail the curtain was torn top to bottom so likely an eyewitness one of the Priests or the High Priest going and telling it happened? 3. We studied the names of God, specifically Yahweh (Hebrew). But as we continued to study variants on that name it was, for example, Jehovah shalom. Why that Greek/Hebrew combo instead of Yahweh shalom? (Hebrew/Hebrew) 3 Questions is a weekly podcast from Southern Hills Baptist Church.

1. “Why doesn't God just kill Satan?” Similar to the sinful people in the Bible that He “killed” like Ananias and Saphira 2. How does the moment we appear before the judgment seat of Christ mentioned in 2 Corinthians 5:9-10 match up with God promising “to remember our sins no more”?

1. What does Isaiah mean in 65:1 “I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, “Here I am, here I am,” to a nation that was not called by my name.” 2. I was thinking about Pastor Doug's sermon on Psalm 23 and about a recent SS lesson on the Messianic nature of Isaiah 53, and this was my question: When reading Psalm 23 could it be prophetic of things Jesus would do in addition to showing us how the LORD is our Shepherd/Jehovah Rohi?

1. When we said the Apostles' Creed, what does it mean “he descended to hell” then after 3, rose to heaven? Is it just symbolic?

So Jesus told the thief on the cross that he would be with him in paradise that day but Paul says those that are dead in Christ will rise first to meet him in the air when he returns. So do Christians go to heaven (or paradise) to be with Jesus when they die or at the return of Christ? 3.

1. C. S. Lewis says in a letter answering a question on children's Christian literature and the analogy of the lion with Jesus in the Narnia fairytales: “Of course. ‘Gentle Jesus', my elbow! The most striking thing about Our Lord is the union of great ferocity with extreme tenderness. (Remember Pascal? ‘I do not admire the extreme of one virtue unless you show me at the same time the extreme of the opposite virtue. One shows one's greatness not by being at an extremity but by being simultaneously at two extremities and filling all the space between.')” This would seem to be in line with Ecclesiastes chapter 3 and I would like to hear your thoughts on verse 8 in relation to the Lewis and Pascal quotes.

1. Did God cause David to sin by taking a census in 2 Samuel 24? How are we to understand 2 Samuel 24:1 when it says “he incited David against them saying ‘Go number Israel and Judah'”? Later on in the chapter, David realized that doing this was a sin. We understand that God does not tempt us to sin but it would appear in this situation he tells David to sin by conducting a census of the fighting men which brings punishment on Israel. 2. Is it a sin to get tattoos? How can we discourage young people from getting tattoos when a Baptist periodical promotes them. The cover of February 2021 issue of Home Life magazine has a couple whose arms are covered up by tattoos. And yes, I find them to be ugly. Does God care if we do this to our bodies? 3.
