• Why did Jesus say “it is finished” before he was resurrected?
• Influential books?
• What are good resources to give someone who does not believe the Bible is trustworthy?

• What are your thoughts on virtual communion?
• Favorite Bible commentary?
• Did Jesus descend to hell for three days?
• Book recommendations on Christology or trinity? 
• Is New Testament election the same or different than the chosen people of Israel in the Old Testament?
• How should a Christian respond to the tension between election and praying for the lost?
• Why do you think beatific vision is so under sourced in recent church history?
• On google it claims that Augustine used stoicism or other forms of philosophy to interpret the Bible, is that true? And if so, is that okay?
• What will happen to Knowing Faith?

Helpful Definitions:

• The Noble Lie: A lie that you tell for the benefit of injustice not being able to be perpetrated.
