Explain why unsaved people are very happy and ethical: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 33)

BibleThinker

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
1. 0:04 {Ethical & Happy Non-Christians?} Can unsaved people “do good works”? Why do unsaved people often appear to be happy and live seemingly ethical lives?
2. 24:11 {Calling Out False Teachers} Who is supposed to call out false teachings and false teachers? How should it be done? I'm struggling to find Scripture.
3. 31:22 {The Destruction of Jerusalem} Do you believe that in Luke 21:20 Jesus is talking about the destruction of Jerusalem for today's time?
4. 39:49 {How to Pray for our Enemies} How can we pray for our enemies biblically? Especially those actively trying to kill those you love.
5. 43:07 {Church Coffee Shops – Sinful?} A church in town opened a coffee shop in the foyer. Some say it's akin to a marketplace in the Temple, and others say since it's run at cost (or even below cost) that it's fine. What are your thoughts?
6. 48:55 {Paul & the Female Slave} Why was Paul annoyed with the possessed female slave in Acts 16:16 when she was actually telling the truth? What about Philippians 1:18?
7. 54:47 {Does God Grant Our Belief?} What does Philippians 1:29 mean when it says that God "grants" us belief in Him? Is this deterministic?
8. 1:00:29 {Anger at God’s Word?} Do you have any specific advice on how to deal with emotions while reading the Bible? Recently, I can’t even get through a few verses without feeling overwhelmed with anger or frustration!
9. 1:04:30 {Exodus: Conjugal Rights vs. Adultery?} Exodus 21:10 says a man married to multiple women shouldn't deny them conjugal rights. Isn't each instance of intimacy in that situation adultery against one wife?
10. 1:12:22 {The Purpose of The Church} What is the biblical purpose of the church, and do you believe modern Christianity is fulfilling that purpose today?
11. 1:22:46 Bonus: More commentary on question #6 above!
