Bible Answer Man Podcast with Hank Hanegraaff

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank mentions he is revved up. He just recorded a Hank Unplugged podcast with Gary Habermas. Also, this morning he read an article titled, "Scientists successfully clone monkeys. Are humans up next?" This article lays out the potentials we face as biological science marches forward. Producing a human clone would require testing on thousands of human embryos that would end each of those lives. Who would own the clones? The scientists who perform the ghastly experiments? Hank also answers the following questions: The Gospels, Hebrews, and Revelation were written to the Jews. Only the Pauline books were meant for the Church. Only the KJV is the correct Bible. You are part of the Alexandrian cult! My background is Baptist, but I've been attending a Catholic church. Should I be concerned about the doctrines and traditions taught there? My father is transgender, and I've told him I don't agree with him, and see him as a man, as my father. How do I discuss this with him and stand strong biblically, and yet be respectful? I have been studying reformed theology with a friend, but am having trouble with certain parts of it. What are your thoughts?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses the CHRISTIAN RESEARCH JOURNAL, available through CRI. The current issue includes an article on Hip Hop, "Spirituality in Modern Hip Hop: The Theology of Kendrick Lamar and Chance the Rapper" by Vocab Malone. Referring to the article, Hank discusses the troubling elements in Hip Hop. Hank also answers the following questions: Who coined the term Trinity? Is there a hierarchy within the Trinity? Is suicide forgivable? Do you think that the ark of the covenant is resting in Ethiopia? In Genesis 19:3 Lot feeds the angels who come to his home. Do angels actually need to eat and sleep? Were these beings truly angels, or just men? Matthew 1:21-23 says the baby shall be called Jesus. In Isaiah 7:14, the baby's name shall be called Emmanuel. What am I missing? Are they the same person? In Matthew 7, Jesus says not everyone who says to Him, "Lord, Lord" will enter into heaven, and that is very terrifying to me. How can a person know with certainty that they belong to the Lord?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions: How can I properly explain the eternal nature of Hell? What can you tell me about the passage of scripture that says Jesus went down into Hell to preach to the captives there? As a Canadian teacher, I am being required to teach students about homosexuality and gender issues. How can I refuse to do this as a Christian, and keep my job? Is everything Ravi Zacharias believes and teaches doctrinally sound? Did people in the Old Testament have last names? Is there any evidence for the existence and lineages of Noah's sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth? What is your viewpoint on life in the cosmos beyond earth? Could there be morally responsible beings on other planets that need the salvific work of Christ as we do? What is the New Covenant; when did it start; who is involved in it; is it in effect today? What version of the Bible do you prefer, and why?

Drawing an example from the book Zombie Science, Hank also discusses the scientific invalidity within Darwin's theory of evolution. Hank also answers the following questions: Why doesn't the Bible give us more information about Joseph? Are homosexuals saved? Do they have the opportunity to be forgiven? How do I answer an atheist who says that we get our morality through the means of human experience? Upon reading the biblical account of Abraham, it seems to me that his "obedience" came about after he had received an inheritance, and had ample goods. What are your thoughts? I've been troubled by the view held by many Christians that drinking any alcohol is sinful. If this is so, why was Jesus' very first miracle one of transforming water into wine? Is it OK to force violent Muslims out of our country?

One resources especially helpful is Hank's, MUSLIM: What You Need to Know About the World's Fastest-Growing Religion. In light of today's terror attack in New York, it is critical that Christians remain equipped to deal with this issue specifically, and Islam in general. Also, Christians need to be equipped to face the onslaught of materialism, especially as it is found in our schools, causing the faith of many students to be stripped away. Young people need the answers to the questions they are faced with.
