Why Does Jesus List Heart, Soul, and Mind Separately?
Greg answers questions about why Jesus lists heart, soul, and mind separately in Mark 12:29–30, whether the Bible is written for laypeople rather than scholars, responding to someone who thinks life is a simulation, and whether it’s wrong to forgive someone who hasn’t repented. Topics: What’s the difference between heart, soul, and mind, and why does Jesus list them separately in Mark 12:29–31? Was the Bible written for laypeople, or does it need to be interpreted by people with scholarly or divine knowledge? How would you respond to someone who thinks that this life is just a simulation? Was it wrong for Erika Kirk to forgive Charlie’s murderer without his repentance (see Luke 17:3–4)? How are we supposed to think about forgiving those who don’t repent if Christ doesn’t forgive the unrepentant, and how can our own souls move on from being wronged if we don’t forgive?

Will We Be Held Responsible for Not Warning Non-Believers of the Coming Judgment?
Greg answers questions about relationships between former offenders and the offended on the new earth, applying Ezekiel 33:1–9 to Christians, handling a Sunday school situation, reading enough to get the author’s intent, and deceased loved ones communicating with us. Topics: Given that Christians are required to forgive but not to reconcile with each other, what will relationships between former offenders and the offended be like on the new earth? Should the passage in Ezekiel 33:1–9, where Ezekiel is appointed a watchman, be applied to believers today such that we’ll be held responsible for not warning non-believers of the coming judgment? Do you have any advice for how to handle a situation where a child in my wife’s Sunday School class was very upset about his parents fighting? How much of Genesis 1 do you have to read to get the author’s intent? Do deceased loved ones communicate with us from the dead, and if not, how can a loving son confront his parents about their belief in this after the death of their daughter?

Has God Always Been Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
Greg answers questions about whether God has always been Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, his thoughts on women in ministry, how a layperson who isn’t into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way, and how to approach loved ones who are following a false prophet. Topics: Has God always consisted of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, was Jesus always intended to come in the same form of those created in his image, and does it necessarily follow that if God were to create anything, it would have to include beings made in his image? What are your thoughts on women in ministry? Do you have any ideas on how a layperson who is not into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way? How should I approach loved ones who are in a house church that follows a “prophet” who teaches things that are contrary to classical Christianity and even the gospel?

Objections to Last Week’s Shows on Antisemitism
Greg responds to objections to last week’s shows on antisemitism, talks to a caller who objects to the term “antisemitism” and says it’s not hateful to notice patterns about people, and responds to a question about whether our justice system should also allow for substitutions like God does. Topics: Commentary: Objections to last week’s shows on antisemitism If you say you can’t recognize patterns from certain groups of people because it’s hateful to do so, then doesn’t that go against reason and logic? Should our justice system work the way God’s justice works (i.e., should it allow substitutions)? Mentioned on the Show: Reality Student Apologetics Conference – April 24–25 in Los Angeles, CA Last week’s episodes: A Response to the Rising Antisemitism and How Should Christians View and Treat the Jews?

How Should Christians View and Treat the Jews?

Your Salvation Doesn’t Depend on Following the Old Testament Laws
Greg talks about a card he received from a group saying we have to follow the Old Testament laws to be saved, then he answers questions about what happens to everyone who doesn’t trust in Jesus, making a case God sustains the universe, and a couple in a celibate same-sex marriage serving in a church. Topics: Commentary: Your salvation doesn’t depend on following the Old Testament laws. If Jesus really is the only way, does that mean everybody else goes to Hell? How can I make the case that God sustains our contingent universe without referencing the Bible? What do you think about a couple in a same-sex marriage who live together celibately functioning as worship leaders in a church?
