Bible Answer Man Podcast with Hank Hanegraaff

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions: Is Mark 9:47 to be taken literally?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on the book, Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. Interestingly, this book came as the result of a series of BBC radio broadcasts given by Lewis during World War II while many were questioning their faith. Lewis desire was to distill and defend the essence of the Christian faith, and his words still speak to us with profound relevance today. Mere Christianity is a treasure that believers will want to read again and again. Hank also answers the following questions: I have a friend who does not believe that Jesus was God and that it was not God’s blood shed on the cross. How can I show him from Scripture that this is false? I was married to the same woman twice, but we are divorced again. How should I handle this situation? A friend has been telling me about Calvinism and now I cannot read the Bible without seeing election and predestination. Are there any Scriptures that can help me not think this way? How can I explain the Trinity to someone who does not believe in it because the word is not found in Scripture?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions: Is it possible for someone to sell their soul to the Devil? Does God repent according to Exodus 32:12-14?

Why was David judged so harshly when he counted his army in 2 Samuel chapter 24?

On todays Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions: How do I answer those who claim that the Bible is not real and Jesus was not real? Is it biblical to plead the blood of Jesus in prayer? Are we seeing the events leading up to the battle of Armageddon? Can you explain what Jesus meant when He said to not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine? Do Christians still have the gift of prophecy? How do I distinguish between God, the loving Father, and God the judge?
