On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank comments on the issue of death prior to Adam in the age of the Earth debate. Hank also answers the following questions: I’m doing a study on God’s will for our lives. Are some people created as vessels of honor and others for dishonor according to Romans 9:18-23? Lisa - Oklahoma City, OK (6:08) Does the armor of God in Ephesians 6 have a connection to Isaiah 59:17? Does Ephesians touch back to the Old Testament? Orville - Tulsa, OK (15:12) Regarding the assertion that Jesus never talked about homosexuality, Jesus’ reference to Genesis 2 regarding divorce and remarriage shows that husband and wife relationships are male and female, correct? Orville - Tulsa, OK (16:55) I noticed that in Genesis 7:11, the first instance of the word month is mentioned in the Bible.

Best of BAM: Death Before Adam, and Q&A

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (07/04/25), Hank notes that as Americans celebrate Independence Day today, it is important to remind ourselves of the fundamental purpose of the United States as set forth in the preamble to the Constitution: “to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”. To discuss what is essential to know about our particular Government, Hank introduces a special presentation of his conversation with Professor Francis Beckwith, author of Politics for Christians: Statecraft as Soulcraft.

Independence Day 2025 with Francis Beckwith

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (07/03/25), Hank answers the following questions: Is Yeshua the proper name of Jesus? Is salvation based on the Hebrew name Yeshua? Sayla - Chicago, IL (0:44) I want to start a ministry. But I think the church commits abuses, such as their way of tithing. It doesn’t feel right. Do you know what I mean? Ken - Ashville, NC (2:51) I grew up with relativism. I do not want to take a hard position on secondary issues. What are your thoughts on having this mindset? Joel - Modesto, CA (7:04) Our church merged with another church, and we told the pastor we are leaving. He read 1 John 4:7-17 and said to us that leaving a church demonstrates you don’t love others, and therefore, you don’t love God. How do I respond to him? Karen - Richmond, VA (15:12) There are Christians who say Matthew 27:25 served as a Scriptural basis for the Holocaust. Is this accurate? Dianna - Lincoln, NE (18:00) Can you tell me how to share the Gospel with Muslims? Tony - Toronto, ON (20:41) Exodus 33:11 says that God was face-to-face with Moses. But Exodus 33:20-23 says no man can see God’s face and live. Cody - Moses Lake, WA (22:57)

Q&A: Jesus’ Name, Relativism, and Leaving a Church

Do you have any scriptures on this? Ron - Miami, FL (0:48) What is the early Christian literature? Have you heard of that? Pam - Due West, SC (4:24) How does one blaspheme the Holy Spirit? I am worried. Jaron - Sandy Springs, MD (7:12) I visited a Methodist church that split over the issue of Palestine. Do you know of a division between Methodists supporting Palestine? Brian - Richmond, VA (16:03) I am having a family conflict over having alcohol in the home.
