  1. How do we keep hope and joy during this day of increased hostility to Christ and to truth? With so much of the culture being anti-Christian, how do we engage others with respect without triggering animosity? (00:52)
  2. Where’s the fine line in witnessing at the workplace? Working in a secular environment that’s tainted by sin, when do we call out sin? When do we speak up? (09:30)
  3. How do we bring God into the picture for those who appear to be fully content without Him? How do we help them see that their ways are in vain? (14:05)
  4. Can unsaved people do real good, or are their actions still steeped in sin? (20:17)
  5. Why did God create? (24:52)
  6. How did God inspire the Bible? (28:38)
  7. How is the Bible’s claim to be from God more legitimate than the claims of the Qur’an or other sacred texts? (31:50)

  3. How should understanding the history of the world, both biblical and secular, shape our reaction to modern events and future events? (10:25)

  5. What are the different approaches to apologetics, and which one do you prefer? (16:04)
  6. How should we understand the dreams of Jesus being reported among Muslim people? True, false, concerning, joyful—what are we to make of these reports? (21:39)
  7. Some people tell unbelievers that God loves them. But does God love everyone or just the elect? (28:33)

"5. Why did God create? (24:52)" is the only question worth discussing; the only one that can be studied through for understanding the "why" of Jesus Christ. All of the others are "go nowhere" questions Ligonier's can only word you to death with their "intellectual academics", . . . which is the way of all cessionists when they have no answers.

The why of creation. Can you speak of the "why" of creation without an answer, based solely upon your knowledge of the scriptures??

Why the LORD created the universe?

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Pet.2:9).​

"To the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us" (Eph.1:6-8).​

Not even close. Try Thinking first on John 1:12 KJV and then Heb 2:10, again, KJV ONLY. Lets open that all up to understand somethings about what God had in Mind.
