Brannon Howse: Aired December 10, 2013

Dr. Whitcomb joins Brannon for another installment of Ask Dr. John. Question: Please explain Moses’ sin in Num. 20:1-13 in terms of Ps. 106:33 and 1 Cor. 10:4. Was his main sin unbelief? If so, what was it that he refused to believe? Why could he not enter the Promised Land? Question: Is there any significance to the number of generations given in Matt. 1:17? Question: If the sign-miracle gifts were only intended for the apostles, how was it that a deacon like Stephen was given these gifts in Acts 6: 8? Question: What is your interpretation of 1 Cor. 13:10 and what does "that which is perfect" (NKJV) mean? Is this verse proof that tongues are still active today? Can we not say that sign-miracles are still active, since we cannot limit what our sovereign God can do as long as it does not violate Scripture? Question: 1 Pet. 3:21 says we are saved by baptism. I have heard that baptism is not a work, but an act from God toward us. Is baptism an outward sign of faith or is it truly something that has to be done for salvation? Question: How do we understand the difference between Law and Grace? Question: What are some ways that we can find true spiritual meaning in the Christmas season? Question: How can we best witness of Christ at this season of the year? Question: What are some things that we should expect to see happen prophetically in 2014, and how should this impact our spiritual lives? Question: Why does it seem that belief in and study of the Bible are trending down today when we have more resources than we have ever had before? Topic: We take your calls.
