Questions Asked on the 1/2 Hour Narrow Path Radio Program

[Marcus]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum but have listened to the Narrow Path radio program for some years and even called in on occasion. Since September I've started logging some of the questions that have been asked on the morning 1/2 hour show and I post them here for anyone else's benefit. Sorry but I don't transcribe Steve's answers, however; you'll have to listen for those . The URL of each recording is provided and you can go to the place on the recording where the question is asked.

Here is the link, which I hope to update regularly: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6kG9H ... FdqWVdjQlE

God bless,

When I started logging calls to the 1/2 Hour morning show last month, I also logged a smattering of calls to the 1 hour afternoon show as well. However, limitations on my time prevent me from also logging calls to the afternoon show on a daily basis. This is kind of an experiment right now, and I'm not sure how useful this will be. I was able to use the call log last night though at a Bible study when I remembered that a couple of the questions asked had been questions on the show that Steve had answered. We found the recording and the place on the show where the questions were asked and played the recordings of Steve's answers and then discussed the questions further. (Unfortunately my Dispensationalist father was not happy with the answers and doesn't want to hear anything else from Steve Gregg, but that is beside the point!)

So here is also a link to my log of some of the questions asked on the 1 hour show last month: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6kG9H ... HdaV1lmRU0

Here is a link to the questions from the 10-8-12 half hour morning TNP show: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6kG9H ... WFST09SUGc

(I haven't been able to get it to sort the calls in the order in which they appear on the program yet, though. It appears to be sorting them alphabetically by name).

Here are the questions from the 10-12-12 TNP 1/2 hour show:

1. What is meant by "earth" in the Genesis 7 flood story? Was the whole earth covered or was it a local flood? When it says "all the high mountains under the heaven were covered" and "every living thing died" is that literal?

2. Why would a Christian (or a Roman Catholic) allow for abortion in the case of rape or incest but not in other cases?
Why would vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan, a Roman Catholic, agree to allow abortion in cases of rape or incest?

3. What does the Bible have to say about the environment, because it seems like a lot of Christians just take the Earth for granted, and don't really take care of it?

4. Are the two witnesses in Rev. 11 our faith and obedience since both are required in the Old and New Testaments to be counted right with God?

Questions from the 10-15-12 TNP 1/2 hours show were as follows:

1. Are there apostles today? If there are, who gave them that title?

2. Can you explain Genesis 1-3 because I was told that when God created light, Jesus was the light and I disagree because Jesus was the One creating all things.

3. How is it that we are told by pastors to forget the fourth commandment which says to remember the seventh day Sabbath, when James 2:8-11 indicates that if we break one of the 10 commandments we break them all?

4. What do you think about the presidential candidates' view of Christianity? Do they have anything specific policy wise for or against Christianity? Because I know that Obama has a clear stand for gay marriage. And what about Romney? Do you know if anything else that Obama supports goes against Christianity?
Do you think these views should influence our decisions in voting for them or not?

The 10-10-12 TNP Morning Show has been posted and here are the questions from that day:

1. Do you agree that if the penalty for sin is eternal torment, then since Jesus paid the penalty for sin, He would still have to be in hell, eternally tormented?

2. Do you think it is idolatry for us to blindly embrace any teacher's perspective, even if it is not contrary to our intuitive understanding?

3. Does Zech. 14 indicate that all people will be required to keep the feast of Succoth (Tabernacles) during the Millennium or else face famine and drought?

4. What do you say about the belief, even among many Christians and anybody in general, that we are not ever under any circumstances supposed to judge another person?

5. I have a friend that just recently received Jesus, at least I hope he did. He said the sinner's prayer and he believes in the Trinity and he understands about what salvation is. He goes to church now and then, but if you ask him what it means to be saved he knows nothing at all about being saved by grace or through faith or none of the elements that need radical transformation of the psyche in order to be saved. He heard the gospel, but if you ask him what does it mean to be saved he would not be able to repeat it.

6. What does it mean in Rom. 12:1 where Paul says that we should present our bodies as living sacrifices to God?

Here are the questions from the 10-18-12 TNP 1/2 hour show:

1. What do you think about the idea that Jesus was crucified on Thursday and not Friday? What about John 19:31 which says that Sabbath was high day?

2. Can demons plant ideas in our minds?

3. What does Joshua's entering into the Promised Land and crossing the River Jordan mean spiritually? I've heard that crossing the Red Sea signified baptism and that crossing the Jordan signified baptism with the Holy Spirit.

4. I'm having a really hard time getting myself in the habit of praying daily and reading the Bible and it bothers me tremendously. I'm suffering from depression (that might be the reason why, I don't know) and anxiety and I can't focus at work. Do you have any suggestions as to how I might get started and what the underlying problem might be?

Here are the questions from the 10-19-12 TNP 1/2 hour show:

1. What should I tell people who say that Mormons believe in Jesus and God the way Christians do?

2. How do you feel about tattoos, including "Christian" tattoos?

3. What else besides Isa. 32:5 and 8 can I share with people that are voting for Obama that is biblical? What else besides socialism and babies and homosexuality can I share with them, or even hand out to them? (also discusses Christians who choose not to vote)

Questions from the 10-23-12 TNP morning show:

1. Is it best to take the Bible literally?

2. Where can I send a donation for your radio ministry?

3. Am I two kids into a wrong relationship (wife was of a Jewish background, they were unbelievers when they got married, she had prior children and he did too, family doesn't attend church)?

4. Why is the RSV not a popular version with people today since it seems so good? I think I heard that the RSV is quite popular in other parts of the United States, but I'm in Southern California so I'm unaware.
