3rd Q&A, Session #3, Michigan Camp 2019

Recording from Michigan Camp 2019.

  1. If I’m traveling for work and there’s no meeting around for 300 miles, why shouldn’t I go out to an a Evangelical Church not breaking bread but to enjoy fellowship with other Christians and worship the Lord? I’ve been told that it’s better not to go anywhere. I feel like this is saying I have no need of these other members of Christ’s body. 1 Corinthians 12:14-27. Which option is better? Going to a church or spending Sunday morning alone with the Lord?

  2. Why is it when a brother and sister in Christ come from another meeting room they are not allowed to break bread with us?

1st Q&A, Session #1, Michigan Camp 2018

Recording from Michigan Camp 2018.

Questions:

On the leading of Spirit in the assembly meetings:

  1. What verses do we have that demonstrate that we have the leading of the spirit in the assembly meeting, and specifically, in the breaking of bread
  2. As a young brother, how do I perceive the leading of the spirit and differentiate the leading of the spirit versus my own thoughts? Is it better to err on the side of speaking when I might not have the spirit’s leading or not speak when I do?
  3. During the breaking of bread, can thinking unrelated thoughts negatively affect the atmosphere of the meeting? And, how can one stay focused?

2nd Q&A, Session #2, Michigan Camp 2018

Recording from Michigan Camp 2018.

Questions:

  1. Per Luke 17:5-6, it seems as if faith is binary, that you either have it or not, and that it cannot be increased. Is this correct? If so, sometimes we reference a Christian or describe the OT saints in Hebrews 11 as having a lot of faith. How do these reconcile?
  2. On the Eternal Sonship of Christ:
    • What is the importance of the Eternal Sonship of Christ?
    • If the term is not found in scripture, what are some examples where the truth is clearly presented or inferred?
    • Is this a fundamental point of fellowship? If one does not believe it, is it right for us to have fellowship with him or her, and should they be received at the Lord’s Table?
  3. Is it okay to marry your second or third cousin?

3rd Q&A, Session #3, Michigan Camp 2018

Recording from Michigan Camp 2018.

Questions:

  1. What is the Biblical backing for addressing God as “Thee” and “Thou” in prayer? Are people wrong to address God as “You”?
  2. Why do the great men of the Bible tend to fail as fathers? Examples: Abraham (Genesis 25:1-5), Isaac (Genesis 25:24-28), Jacob (Genesis 34:16), Samuel, David, Solomon (1 Kings 12:16), Job (Job 1:1-2), Josiah (2 Kings 23:31-32)
  3. Should women wear headcoverings when singing?
  4. In John chapter 4 versus one and two, it says that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, but Jesus was not doing the baptizing. Rather, his disciples were. What was the reason Jesus was not personally baptizing people himself?
  5. I had always assumed that Jesus grew up normally like any child. But upon coming-of-age gained the wisdom and knowledge that he shared with the scribes at age 12. I recently talked with her brother who seem to think that he gained all his wisdom and knowledge through study like we must. I personally think that Jesus must have had God-given knowledge, or he would just become a very knowledgeable man like Darby or C.S. Lewis. What are your thoughts on this?

4th Q&A, Session #4, Michigan Camp 2018

Recording from Michigan Camp 2018.

Questions:

  1. Was it wrong and lacking faith to send out the twelve spies?
  2. What if Adam and Eve never ate of the tree with the knowledge of good and evil? How would that affect our spiritual beliefs?
  3. If Adam and Eve had not sinned would Jesus still have been born into this world?
  4. I have always been a common Christian. I always seem to pick up my phone rather than my Bible. Do you have any suggestions of how to get motivated to read the Bible more often than on Sunday and to become a better Christian.
  5. How does a Christian show love to the world but still be faithful to the Lord? This can involve family and fellow saints? (James 4:4; Matthew 6:24; 1 John 4:12-19; 1 John 2:15-22)

5th Q&A, Session #5, Michigan Camp 2018

Recording from Michigan Camp 2018.

Questions:

  1. How does a Christian go about seeking restoration of a fellow believer that has fallen away in sin, and has been disciplined, but still be faithful to the Lord and show true love? (Galatians 6:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:6-8)
  2. How can we reconcile that man doesn’t have a free will with our freedom to make daily decisions? Scripture seems to support both.
  3. How can we guard ourselves from twisting God’s Word so that our human minds can comprehend it?
  4. I would like to understand more of God’s word, understand more concepts, obtain knowledge, but I don’t know how to go about doing this. Any suggestions?
  5. Does the Bible address women wearing skirts/dresses to assembly meetings? Should they be worn at all times?
  6. What steps should be taken in the assembly if one suspects that a wife is being emotionally or physically abused by her husband?

6th Q&A, Session #6, Michigan Camp 2018

Recording from Michigan Camp 2018.

Questions:

  1. Is it a sin for a believer to be afraid of death?
  2. What scriptures give the Christian guidance as to the matter of insurance?
  3. If headcoverings are so important, why are they only addressed in one book, and only in one chapter of that book?
  4. Could you give a general explanation of fasting, and how it should be carried out by Christians? Comment on Isa. 58:1-7. Is fasting only to abstain from food? Or does it include drink, entertainment, pleasure? Is fasting regularly an okay thing to do?
