How do you respond when someone says your "Christian Nationalism" goes against everything Jesus taught in the Bible? And why are so many Christians preoccupied with LGBTQ+ issues--don't they have their own sinful behaviors to worry about? In this midweek episode, Frank responds to a listener email from Australia related to these and other hot-button issues by answering questions like:
- How does "Christian Nationalism" compare to secular internationalism?
- Why should the government care about marriage?
- Did Jesus believe in equity?
- Do you call out your own sin or just the sins of others?
- What are the 3 BIG temptations John 1 warns us about?
- According to Paul, what kind of person isn't welcome at church?
- Is God just a cosmic killjoy?
- What's the difference between torture and torment and which one is found in Hell?
- What’s the deal with the story of Jephthah and his daughter in the Book of Judges?
