What Does It Mean to "Crucify the Flesh"? - LIVE Q&A for March 17, 2022
Our lead question today is, "What does it mean to 'Crucify the Flesh'?" Then, on to the questions from the live chat: In the Old Testament, did the sacrifices for sin apply to those who had committed murder or other sins that required capital punishment? Is it ok to belong to a church that has the core Christian beliefs but there are doctrinal differences? Specifically speaking, the church I attend is cessationist but I am not. Did women go through circumcision like the men we read about like Abraham and Moses? In Joshua 10:12 the account of the sun stopped in Gibeon, was this interpretation literal or poetry of earth not rotating? Where does Zachariah 14:12 fall on the prophetic timeline? Is it about a nuclear event? Does John 8:7 mean we can't call a person out of their sin because we are sinners ourselves? I have a sinful past. How can I have a good testimony before those who don’t believe? Hebrews 12:1 speaks of “every weight” that should be set aside. What are examples of such things? Why did the KJV Bible say “fasting and prayer” in 1 Corinthians 7:5, but in other Bible versions it only says “prayer”? Are we really obligated for to say “in the name of Jesus” at the beginning or end of each prayer? Why did Jesus teach using parables? Is the “Gog and Magog” of Ezekiel 38 the same as the Revelation 20 “Gog and Magog”? Does the Bible give us any idea of how long before creation the war in heaven was? Why does 1 John say “none has ever seen God,” yet in John’s Gospel Jesus said, “Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father”?
