#STRAsk greetings! Can you describe what judgement for the believer entails? I know believers are not condemned, but how are our moral failures and service for Christ taken into account on Judgement day. Blessings and thank you!!
#strask Matt. 16:23 describes an interaction where Jesus tells Peter “get behind me Satan”. In another passage it says “that Satan entered into Judas”. How would you explain Jesus’ statement about Peter and Satan’s influence on Peter? Thank you and God Bless.
#strask I recently saw a movie called the Cokeville Miracle that documents a “Mormon” miracle. It seemed to reinforce my Mormon friend’s faith. Do you have any thoughts on how to best address something like this as a Christian. Thank you!
#strask There is a movie called “The Cokeville Miracle”. It is a story about a “miraculous” event where children were saved from a bomb. I believe it is a Mormon movie and it seems to have reinforced my Mormon friend’s faith. I was wondering what your thoughts were about it.
#strask hi Greg and Amy. Recently, I have been reading the works of some well respected Bible scholars who are proposing alternatives for the way we look at Genesis. For instance, they are proposing a mytho-history view or that a temple motif is the perspective we need to view

Genesis through. Hopefully you are familiar with these viewpoints, as it would be difficult to explain them in this limited space. Please let me know if you have any comment, as I am finding these alternatives difficult, because they make a more plain reading of Genesis difficult
#strask I have read several variations on the traditional view of hell (eternal punishment). I have tried to carefully look at Scripture and trusted authors on the subject. I would like to make some statements on hell and get your input.

The gospels, thus demonstrating it’s criticality. - for me, eternal punishment seems the most reasonable way to interpret scriptural references to hell. I am trying to determine if godly people in the past could’ve had a different view of hell than the traditional view.

Also, it seems like it should be a prominent subject by most biblical authors as the ramifications are so impactful. Thank you Greg and Amy, you both have great insights – Jeff

#strask I have a family member that made a profession of faith as a young man. After college, he married a Mormon and is currently active in the Mormon church. He reiterated that his profession was sincere, but I have concerns that he is not truly a Christian.

He is not open to discussing his beliefs. His initial confession seemed genuine, but I recognize that many of the Mormon beliefs are contrary to scripture. Do you have thoughts on how to approach this situation? Thank you - Jeff
#strask The book of John records the miracle of Lazarus being raised from the dead. This seems to have been a major event in the life and ministry of Jesus. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on why the other Gospels did not include this event. Thank you!!!
#strask humans have some Neanderthal DNA (2–4%) due to inter-breeding. Do you have any thoughts on how this interbreeding impacted us as image bearers? As I think about the direct offspring; half human and half Neanderthal, this seems especially odd. Thanks!
