Transcript
Live from the historic parsonage of 19th century gospel minister George Norcross in downtown
Carlisle, Pennsylvania it's iron sharpens iron a radio
platform on which pastors Christian scholars and theologians Address the burning issues
facing the church and the world today.
Proverbs 27 verse 17 tells us iron sharpens iron so one

Matthew Henry said that in this passage quote we are cautioned to take heed whom we
converse with and Directed to have in view in conversation to make one another
wiser and better.
It is our hope that this goal will be accomplished over the next hour.
And we hope to hear from you the listener with your own questions.
Now here's our host Chris.
Good afternoon, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania Lake City, Florida and the rest of humanity living on the
planet Earth who are listening via live streaming at iron sharpens iron radio .com.
This is Chris Arns and your host of iron sharpens iron radio wishing you all a happy Tuesday on this 24th day
of October 2017 and Last week we had on the
program An excellent guest named Israel Wayne to address
the questions God asks.
Which is the title of one of his books this week or today?
I should say we are going to be addressing another book that he has written titled questions Jesus
asks and Israel Wayne is a conference speaker a regular columnist for homeschool digest
Homeschool enrichment and the old schoolhouse magazines.
He's a site editor for a Christian worldview net and an author of a number of books including
full -time parenting a guide to family -based discipleship and pitching a fit
Overcoming angry and stressed out parenting and it's my honor and privilege to welcome you back to iron
sharpens iron radio.
Israel Wayne.
Well, thank you brother.
To be back and.
If anybody would like to join us on the air with a question of your own our email address is Chris Arnson at gmail .com.
Chris a are n z n at gmail .com.
Please give us your first name your city and state and your country of residence if you live outside of
The USA and only remain anonymous.
It's about a personal and private matter over which you are asking.
And.
Just for the sake especially of those Who have not heard
you interviewed before Israel.
Tell us something about your work with the homeschool movement and
also Christian worldview net.
Yes, well in publishing for the past 25 years, I've
been a conference
speaker since 1995.
My wife and I both were home educated and her family
started involved
in the
Christian world
website Which is one of the
larger Christian apologetics sites on the Internet for 15 years or so
and defending the Christians.
The book is kind of a
few geology and apology trying to establish
a more biblical understanding of.
Now I know this is not the topic that we are discussing today primarily but just to give Some
of our listeners who may be completely ignorant about what is going on in the public school system.
In the 21st century their kids may have be maybe already grown
and so there are things going on that were not going on when their own children were in public
school and Perhaps there's some things that they need to know about because of their grandchildren or great -grandchildren.
Could you summarize just some of the things that our
listeners should be alarmed about in in a briefest possible fashion since it's not
the the main topic today.
But I think it might be very important for our listeners to have some gist of the things that you're trying to
protect them from.
Right.
Well certainly within the last five years.
We've seen an increase in Common Core, which is a push towards international
Standards that are coming down through national standards and and a greater involved that
certainly is a trend in the wrong direction.
Moving us more towards the global of the reintroduction
of revised speaking.
I mean, we've had sexual relative new
transgen
that you
know.
These are
they're
non -existent
enough for Christian parents to on
your show
parents or grandparents or
and one
thing that I have
had.
Disagreement with or disagreement over I should say with some of my
fellow Bible -believing conservative Christians.
Is.
They will say in great number.
We need to bring prayer back into the public school.
We need to bring The Bible back into the public school.
Well It's one thing if you're talking about the the freedom of
children To read their Bible and to pray while in public school, but it's an altogether different thing
to want Pagans to be leading your children in prayer and
Saying anything about what the Bible teaches to me.
It's just bizarre how conservative Evangelical Bible -believing Christians should would want
those things in public school systems when you're the teacher could be anything
from an active homosexual to a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness or
a New Age advocate or could be anything.
Why on earth would you want a teacher or a school principal to have anything to do with your your
child's spiritual life?
In a public school setting.
Well, it really is the parents job to teach values and faith to their children.
The problem is that education is not religiously neutral and so someone's faith and
values are going to be promoted and somebody else's faith and values are always going to be minimized and neutralized
and.
The current trend is the Christianity is the faith and the religion that will be marginalized neutralized.
And so in my my view.
This is why having parents be completely entirely in control of their own children's education
is obviously
the
better you're going to.
Amen.
Well, let's move on now to your book questions Jesus asks and
just because of the fact that there may be some who are Puzzled as to why you would have a
book titled questions God asks and then another book titled questions
Jesus asks they may be puzzled and wrongly think You believe that Jesus is
not God.
Obviously, I know you do if you could just explain why you have the two books.
Where some might jump to the wrong conclusion that there would be different questions asked
because Jesus is Not God, they might think you believe and obviously Jesus would have
unique questions that the other members of the Trinity might not have because of the fact that Jesus
although being fully God he was since his incarnation also fully man
and He had a different role in The salvation of sinners than the
Father and the Holy Spirit have.
So there would be unique questions, obviously.
But if you could tell us about the why the two books.
Yes, well, I would certainly encourage anyone who didn't get to hear our previous interview talking about questions God
asks to please look through the archives and Listen to that broad
questions.
God asks came out of a Bible study that I was doing personally just reading through the Old Testament and I
began to notice frequent occasions when God asked people.
Really seemed odd to me because one of the doctrines we know to be true of God
is that he is omniscient.
He knows all things and so when God is asking Abraham where is your wife Sarah.
And he's asking Balaam who are these men with you.
And He's asking Adam in the garden.
Where are you and all these questions?
It seems like it's just an odd thing for God to do and so I started to ask myself
Why those questions were there?
Because we know that God never does anything arbitrary if God is
asking a question.
There's a purpose in it.
He doesn't use meaningless words.
Jesus talked about how we would be judged on Judgment Day for
every so
we know that God won't buy
he's asking many times.
We will ask a question of them rather than telling them what to think or you know.
Giving them an obvious solution to something call them out and to
help them think through the process and God does
that finds 19 different questions the old
the major
talk to be addressed in these
questions that God asked and
So I put together 20 questions from
the
New Testament
predominantly
to write
and I
think.
Amen, by the way, I found the copy of your book that I was looking for.
So I do have I do have that in front of me now as many of our listeners know
I've been in a Frenzy lately preparing for the upcoming iron sharpens iron radio
pastors luncheon, which is day after tomorrow.
It's Thursday, October 26th 11 a .m. To 2 p .m.
And I have been running around like a madman or a chicken with its head cut off or whatever proverbial
Description you wanna you want to go to and so I do want you to rest at ease
that I have the book here but I think something that you might want to
Bring up in the beginning as you did in your book in the introduction is Answering the question
was Jesus omniscient.
This is something that seemed to Come up last time.
We had you on on a number of occasions, even though our specific
Theme was the the title of your first book questions God asked people were asking a lot about Jesus
Christ because there are things that are hard for us to fathom Because of the fact
that the hypostatic Union brings about things that I think
some Issues in regard to that are a mystery to us until we are
in glory.
But if you could tell us about the omniscience of Jesus Christ.
Yeah, that's a super question.
It was one that I really struggled with in terms of figuring out how to address it within the book.
Because I was writing the book actually the conversation with a guy in my church and I
was telling him about the book and how I was writing it and He asked me do you
believe that Jesus was omniscient and I said, well, of course he was omniscient.
He said well, what would you base that on?
And I said, well, he's divine.
He's God and God is omniscient and Jesus is not less God and there
are divine attributes that That clearly describe
and define who God is and separate him from everyone else and I said for
example, you know, God is eternal.
He is Omniscient he knows all things.
He's omnipotent.
He's all -powerful.
He's omnipresent.
He's everywhere and and I said these are things that That God.
That and well, and he's perfectly holy, right?
And so these are things that are that are not
attributes of anything.
That's not God or anyone.
That's not God these are non transfer and So so we have
what we call the transferable or communicable attributes of God and the non communicable.
So if you made
him and the idea is that God does communicate
Nature and character to us
in any way
that belongs.
I was talking
to this guy in
my church.
He said well, you know, it's interesting but Jesus was not omnipresent.
Attributes didn't utilize those even
though he said this
was not
omnipresent.
I don't know exactly What I think of that and and so I started to really lay
all my priests.
Oh, what does this and so
there are some things that give us it built the
viewpoint that perhaps Jesus and
grow and learn in some capacity one of the places we see that is in Luke
2 was that he increased in
wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.
Infinite wisdom does not increase infinite wisdom by definition doesn't grow
than Hebrews 5 8 Learn
in what way did he need to learn
and learn things and
you know Myself when Jesus was two years
old, you know, how to be potty -trained automatically.
Did he know not to touch him?
Did he know how to speak every language?
It was known to humankind.
Could he build furniture perfectly as a young child?
Right exactly
to the teachers of the law
that which really shows
that he asked his own parents.
He said didn't you know that I would be in my father's house.
It reveals that he had some divine revelation he had some knowledge about who he was even
at the age of 12 and.
And so what I want to communicate here and kind of bottom line this we can come back to it.
But I just want to bottom line it for every two things that that I want us to consider very
carefully.
Number one.
I like what you said about the fact that there is some mystery to Understanding
God and I think that's healthy.
I think it's important for us to remember that if we think that we can completely and
Totally understand it with our
arrogance.
What we can know
is we can know everything that we need to know right the scripture tells us that he's given us everything that we need to know
for life and godliness and.
So we have the knowledge that we need to know the thing that we know of course is that?
Jesus was completely God even from Conception and that there
was never a point in time where he ceased to be God and so at no point is
Jesus did it you know
as a human and learn and develop and yet still be divine.
It's something that is a bit of a mystery to us.
But I think we don't in any way have to quote he was
because it's right even though God is.
Immutable Unchangeable.
There was still was something different that occurred within the divine Godhead is
that the second person of the Trinity the the Son of God who existed from
all eternity.
There was never a beginning with Jesus Christ, but there was a beginning of his humanness
at his conception.
Yeah, the incarnation yeah.
Yeah, a great point.
Yeah, I'm immutable.
Immutability also being one of those non communicable attributes of God.
It's what makes God God and separates him from everything else.
It is not God.
God does not change.
And yet we see that Jesus grew in stature as well.
And so there is this divine mystery, and that's why their
divinity meets humanity.
Because we do have the tension that goes on here trying to understand what it's like.
And there
are questions
someone
touched
me
for I
perceive that power has gone out from here.
You know when he when
he asks my God
my God the hour
of the return of
the Son of Man.
No one knows not
even the
angels of
heaven address
them
and
grow.
And I think that
we should also make it clear.
That whatever limitations Jesus Christ as a man
Voluntarily brought upon himself on this earth We could rest assured that those limitations do
not exist.
Now that he is seated at the right hand of the Father and ruling and reigning in heaven he is just as
omniscient and omnipotent and omnipresent as the Father and the Holy
Ghost.
Yes, absolutely.
I'd like to look at a couple of verses here if we have time.
Yes.
Okay, about
that.
They're all things have been handed over to me.
I'm asking on my own as I hear I judge my
not my own will.
An 828 says I do nothing on my own authority.
Commandment
reliance and then in
John 10 17 loves me because I've laid down my life that I may take it up again.
No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own
charge.
I received from my father.
He became obedient even though he was in very nature.
God obedient to death even to
death.
Incredible almighty all -powerful all -knowing God.
Chasm of space and time to come and.
And to become like one of us to save us.
Scandal if you will understand.
Amen.

Jesus asks and our email address is Chris Arnzen at gmail .com.
Chris Arnzen at gmail .com and I might as well go to some of
our listener questions.
We have Joe in Slovenia Who says dear brother Chris, I can't tell you how
much your great topics and guests bless me each day.
My brother my question for brother Israel is how important is it for us to determine and distinguish
between Jesus's questions?
For communication effect and lack of knowledge that is if it can be assumed that Jesus lacks
some knowledge about various topics Recorded for us in Scripture as an example when he said
Where have you laid him in reference to Lazarus's body in John 11 34?
Was he unaware of the location of Lazarus's body or was this a rhetorical question for effect
and How important if at all is it for us to discern this distinction
in similar texts for interpretation and application?
Purposes.
Thanks so much for taking my question.
Well,
thank
you
Joe for your
question
and that is a
wonderful question
the
one
that
I
really
have known
I him
Pray
him
and
I
said to
them
it's
become
convenient.
He sees a
need and
he just
that information that he wanted to have
access
the
human
in the narrative.
That he shows us how he saw people and he was moved with compassion.
He saw need he asked quest
trying to give us an example of
how we as
humans and then In addition
their
biases
their
preconceived
ideas that
pretty
well.
Thank you, Joe in Slovenia, and thank you for giving us an American address where your daughter lives in,
Georgia because you have just won a free copy of questions
Jesus asks and That will be God willing arriving in the mail at your
daughter's address in a couple of weeks.
Thanks to our friends.
Not only at master books.
Also known as new leaf publishing.
But also thanks to our friends at Cumberland Valley Bible book service.
We'll be shipping it out to your daughter.
That's CV BBS comm a CV BBS comm and we thank Todd and Patty Jennings of CV
BBS comm for Shipping out all of our winners.
They're free books Bibles DVDs CDs and anything else.
They win by submitting questions to our listener to our guests on iron sharpens iron radio.
We have a David in Ada, Ohio and David
says.
You surely don't mean Jesus is following the inductive method of teaching or Socratic
method.
I purchased an international inductive study Bible and there were no study notes.
It was up to me to give the scriptures meaning I intended a Bible study that was based on the Socratic
method and it was a guessing game as For me, I prefer to be taught not
questioned about what I don't know.
Please separate the questions Jesus asked from either the inductive or Socratic method if possible.
Thank you, David and Ada, Ohio.
Well.
Yeah, isn't that isn't that basic?
Yeah, isn't it basically to ask a question to really get people to think deeper about an issue.
It's not really because the question is being asked out of ignorance.
Right, yeah, the
question
is a
method of to learn
how to ask people
is on a
bus.
One
time
I was
talking valid
religion Christianity is a valid religion
Christianity
teaching
that anyone
doesn't
have access
to be
in
hell.
So he said
no, that's not what I believe.
Teachers are true right.
All in Christ
Christianity teachers.
Eventually he became frustrated and he could see the contradiction.
And I think you see Jesus
doing.
Yeah, when people start to this would typically be a a Liberal
individual and of course liberals aren't all alike because you have liberals that disdain any notion of
religion.
But you have a religious liberal who will make the claim that all religions are equally valid and I
have said to them Oh, you mean like the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, which is the Church
of the white supremacist movement the Aryan nations.
No, not then.
Well, what are you talking about?
Then?
How can you if everything is the same and equally valid?
How can you rule them out?
You're using some kind of discernment to exclude a group from this this
theory that you have and it's obviously it's it's a unattainable theory that is
ridiculous at its root because There are religions that have diametrically opposed
teachings.
So you can't have everything being the same or equally valid.
Yeah, exactly.
Let me just go back to the question for a minute.
I think the concern might be that.
Maybe I'm reading more into the question than what is there?
But I've heard people express concern along this line that you know, surely Jesus is not
Eulotic
method and surely Jesus
Socrates.
Well,
thank
you
David
and a
to
Ohio.
Please give us your full mailing address because you have also won a free copy of the book.
We are addressing today questions.
Jesus asks.
Thank you very much for contributing your question to the program today.
And We have Daniel in San Jose, California.
Who asks.
Hello again brothers.
Could you ask Israel Wayne to explain the significance of what seems to be Jesus's
rhetorical question in Matthew 19?
For when he says have you not read?
Jesus knew that they have read the scriptures.
Was this an attempt to tear down the Pharisees who tried to trap the Son of God?
Also answering Questions with questions in order to clarify presuppositions is a
great form of apologetics.
Are we as Christians? Justified in asking these rhetorical questions.
That would seem to be harsh on the service.
And he has another question.
Then I'll ask if do you address that?
Yeah, you know, I think there are some questions and maybe one that would even be a little more stark than that is.
When Jesus asks the disciples, are you still have
you been with me and you still don't understand?
And so, you know, we may feel a little thing of
Jesus quite
really want
to
down in this.
I have
mental
roadblocks, you
know education
issue taking
one facing
our
beliefs
oftentimes
on
cultural paradigms
rather
and.
Daniel also asks, are you having any homeschool conferences around the San Jose, California
area in the near future?
My wife and I would love to attend.
Well, I
would.
Sacramento, California homeschool
and we'll
be providing contact information for Israel Wayne.
Little later on so you can keep up to date as to everything that he's doing.
Well, thank you very much Daniel and you have also received a or you will also receive a free
copy of the book.

Paul wrote to the church at Galatia for am I now seeking the approval of man or of God?
Or am I trying to please man.
If I were still trying to please man? I would not be a servant of Christ.
Hi.
I'm Mark Lukens pastor of Providence Baptist Church.
We are a reformed Baptist Church and we hold to the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689.
We are in Norfolk, Massachusetts.
We strive to reflect Paul's mindset to be much more concerned with how God views what we say and what we do
Than how men view these things.
That's not the best recipe for popularity.

Hi, I'm pastor Bill Shishko inviting you to tune in to a visit to the pastor's study every Saturday
from 12 noon to 1 p .m Eastern Time on WLIE radio
www .wlie540am .com
www .wlie540am .com.
Www
.wlie540am
.com
www .wlie540am .com www .wlie540am .com www .wlie540am .com.
The event is absolutely free of charge.
There is no hidden agenda, no ulterior motive other than to bless men in ministry leadership
with a free afternoon of fun, fellowship, food, and being
fed spiritually as well.
Not to mention being given basically what would be considered half of a
library for.
Free.
You're going to be leaving with a heavy sack of excellent books.
This is not your discount bottom shelf rack of books that are
going for a quarter at some second -hand store.
These are brand new books that I have actually selected myself
from the catalogs of major Christian publishers all over the United States and the United Kingdom.
These publishers have been so generous every year going back to the 1990s to
donate free copies of the title that I select for each man in
attendance.
So each man will be leaving with probably a couple of dozen books at least.
It's really amazing that I have been doing this for so long and these publishers
keep providing these books.
As I said earlier, the invitation has been extended to any man that listens to Iron Shepherd and
Zion Radio.
Just send me an email to register at chrisarnson at
gmail dot com and put Pastor's Luncheon in the subject line.
I can't believe how far people are traveling to get here.
I just got word from Pastor David Anglin of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in
Amityville, Long Island, New York, who's driving all the way from Long Island to Carlisle,
Pennsylvania to attend the Pastor's Luncheon.
I've got pastors coming from Virginia.
I've got pastors coming from all over the place.
So if you live in this area in Pennsylvania and you love this program but you do not attend my luncheon,
you deserve a very strong, swift backhand across the face.
Just kidding.
But if you can at all make it, please try to get here.
You're going to have a great time and please register by Wednesday night.
The second event that I'd like to let you know about is the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals
annual Quaker Town Conference on Reform Theology.
The theme is For Still Our Ancient Foe, which is a reference to Satan from that classic Reformation
hymn, A Mighty Fortress by Martin Luther.
This is going to be held at the Grace Bible Fellowship Church in Quaker Town, Pennsylvania, November 17th through the
18th, and the speakers include Kent Hughes, Peter Jones, Tom Nettles, Dennis Cahill, and Scott
Oliphant.
If you'd like to register, go to alliancenet .org, alliancenet .org, click on events, and then click on
Quaker Town Conference on Reform Theology.
Then coming up in January is the G3 Conference, which stands for
Grace, Gospel, and Glory.
The theme of this upcoming G3 Conference is Knowing God, a Biblical
Understanding of Discipleship.
It's being held January 17th through the 20th.
The 17th is exclusively a Spanish -speaking edition of the conference, and the 18th through the 20th is exclusively in
English.
The speakers at the English conference are Stephen Lawson, Bodie Balcombe, Phil Johnson,
Keith Getty, H .B. Charles, Jr., Tim Challies, Josh Bice, James White, Tom Askell, Anthony Mathenia,
Michael Kruger, David Miller, Paul Tripp, Todd Friel, who is no stranger from New Leaf
Press and Master Books, Derek Thomas, Martha Peace, and Justin Peters.
If you'd like to register for the G3 Conference, go to g3conference .com.
That's g3conference .com.
If you register for any of these events, please let the organizations running them know that you
heard about them from Chris Ornzen on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.
And now it comes time for that daily portion of the program that
makes me most uncomfortable, but it's something that I believe needs to be done.
If you love this program and you don't want it to go off the air, please consider donating to Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.
Go to ironsharpensironradio .com, ironsharpensironradio
.com, click on events, I'm sorry, click on support, and
you'll be given an address where you can mail a check made payable to Iron Sharpens Iron Radio
for any amount you can afford.
Please never, ever, ever siphon money out of your regular giving to your local church
and never take food off of your family's dinner table, but if you're blessed above and beyond your ability to provide for your
church and your home with your two commands of God, then please consider using some of
that extra money to bless Iron Sharpens Iron Radio if indeed you love the show, you listen to it every day or a
lot of the time, and you just look forward to it and you don't want it to disappear.
Please consider helping us out, and even more so, if you can, help us out every month.
That would be even better, and I know that some of you are very generous to include us in
your monthly giving.
And of course, if you want to advertise, send us an email to chrisarnsen at gmail .com,
chrisarnsen at gmail .com, and put advertising in the subject line.
And whatever it is you want to advertise, as long as it's compatible with the theology expressed on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio, it doesn't have to be
exactly the same, it just has to be compatible, we would love to hear from you.
Just send us an email, chrisarnsen at gmail .com, chrisarnsen at gmail .com, and put
advertising in the subject line.
So we would love to hear from you, whether you want to advertise your church, your parachurch ministry, your business, your professional practice, whether you're a
lawyer, a doctor, a dentist, whether it's a corporate advertising campaign that you want to
promote on this program, whether it is just a special event, as long as it's compatible with the
theology that we express here, then we would love to hear from you.

We are back with our guest, Israel Wayne, and we are discussing his
book, Questions Jesus Asks, and if you'd like to join us on the air, our email
address is chrisarnsen at gmail .com, chrisarnsen at gmail .com.
Please give us your first name, your city and state, and your country of residence if you live outside the USA.
I want to give, I want to read a commendation for this book that was written by one of my
very favorite Christian recording artists, Michael Card, Michael Card
who has always been known not only for beautiful Christian music, but also for
very deep and biblically faithful lyrics, which is something that is sadly
lacking in much of contemporary Christian music.
Michael Card has always stood out amongst the pack as
someone who is more deep and thought -provoking in regard to
the meat of the lyrics, the biblical meat in his songs.
And he has said about this book, someone once said, there is more learning in
the question than in the answer.
Jesus of Nazareth understood this.
He is known for responding to questions with even more difficult questions.
Most often, he offered himself as the answer.
Israel Wayne seeks to gain as many answers as he can from the meaningful questions of Jesus.
I think that that commendation helps really explain the reason and the
content of this book that you've written, Israel.
And I would love to get Michael Card on the program, by the way, if you want to let him know that.
I would love to have him as a guest on Iron Trip and Zyron Radio.
Well, I'm sure he'd be glad to do it.
He's very insightful.
Yes.
In fact, he wrote a book, and the book title, I think, is Slave,
very similar to the title of a book that John MacArthur wrote.
But he wrote a book where he included the story of a slave owner
who loved one of his slaves so much that he allowed this slave, who was a talented
carpenter, to purchase his freedom by selling furniture and also purchase the freedom of
his wife.
And then when that slave died, he gave that slave a place of honor in the family
cemetery.
He was buried amongst, the master had the slave buried amongst
his own family in the cemetery with a statue paying tribute to the slave.
And Michael Card put this in his book.
And then after I read this, about two weeks later, a dear friend of mine
had went home to be with the Lord.
He was from England originally, and he was living in Tennessee.
And I called his wife to offer my condolences, and she said, well,
Nigel is buried in a very interesting place.
We used to take walks every week through this beautiful cemetery.
And one day, the owner of the property came out and asked why we would
be regularly visiting that cemetery.
And we told him that it reminds us of one of the beautiful quaint country cemeteries in England where we're
from.
And the owner of the property said, well, when you leave this earth and enter
into glory, we would be honored to have you buried here.
And Barbara said, and Nigel was buried in the cemetery next to a statue paying tribute
to a slave who his master allowed to sell furniture to purchase his freedom.
This is just like two weeks after I read this.
When I told Michael Card this, he was absolutely blown away.
He couldn't believe the providence of that.
But yeah, I had chills.
That's when Barbara Stone, who is the widow I was speaking about, told
me this.
By the way, the book by Michael Card is called A Better Freedom, Finding Life as Slaves of Christ.
That's the full title of Michael Card's book.
But we are discussing the book, Questions Jesus Asks.
And if you'd like to join us, our email address is chrisarnson at gmail .com, chrisarnson at
gmail .com.
And we have a question from B .B. in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
And B .B. asks, when we ask
questions of people that we are witnessing to, shouldn't we do the
same thing that Jesus did to get them to really think harder and more deeply
about the differences they have with us?
Should we merely be letting them take us on rabbit trails, as unbelievers often do,
by bombarding us with questions?
Shouldn't we be asking them questions of our own to bring them back to the
focus of Jesus Christ and the gospel?
So many times, unbelievers dominate our conversations, and we wind up being tongue -tied
and taken away from the central issue at hand, which is the issue on which
hinges the eternity of these people we are talking to.
Seeing
the
questions, in
many ways,
is in
the
driver,
certainly, I
think, of timing to
ask.
Well, thank you, B .B.
You've also won a free copy of Questions Jesus Asks.
So please give us your full mailing address there in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
In fact, since you're in the same vicinity as Cumberland Valley Bible Book Service in
Carlisle, why don't you just stop by there and pick up the free book yourself?
It's probably within minutes of where you live.
Thank you very much for joining us on the air today.
Well, one of the questions that you start the book with, a very
important question that Jesus asks, who do people say that I am?
If you could respond to that.
I wanted to include this one first, really, on the Doctrine
Foundation, if we're going
to
study
a
book,
if you
want
to impress
upon it a
teacher,
you know,
they're
in
the
United
States.
And we have a clarifying question
that David from Ada, Ohio, has for us.
I believe he was the one that asked about the Socratic and inductive reasoning.
Let's see here.
Just a point of clarification on my question.
It appears in the two study methods that they have been used to ask questions that the
person addressed doesn't know the answer to, i .e., lacks knowledge of.
However, if the person does know the answer and you're drawing on the knowledge of the person, that is a different
situation.
In some studies I referenced, it was obvious nobody knew how to answer the question.
For example, a question was asked and nobody answered.
I spoke up and said I was going to wait and hear what the teacher had written as the answer.
The teacher said he didn't have an answer.
We spent a lot of time not really learning, just questioning and supposing the passage could
mean this or that.
Thanks, I liked your answer, but I didn't clarify my previous question.
Sorry.
I wonder if Jesus taught differently than the teacher of the five -fold ministry he implemented
for the church.
Well, I'm not a teacher, a Bible teacher or a group
that you want to bring people to answers.
So in my book, I think
that's great because it causes someone's
hunger and thirst to study more deeply,
not
just to
have their
own
answers,
their questions.
Well, let's move on to a question that Jesus asked that is
connected with his virgin birth.
Didn't you know?
Yeah, I thought that
would be my
father.
I just think it's fast.
He presumes that she would know this, that she would understand this, and well, of course she understood.
And how did she know?
How did she understand?
She understood it because she knew who he was, and she married
as Jesus was.
And she knew.
It really has been discredited in some ways within our religion
about the virgin birth anymore.
In fact, I read a book a while back, you know, I'm just going to
state my view on the radio.
You can, you know, bleep me out if you have to, but a heretic named Rob Bell, who...
I'm not going to complain with you.
Okay.
I understand Christians have different views on these things, but I'm just going to say.
He's a heretic.
But he was teaching that if you found out that Jesus wasn't really virgin born, and that he was just,
you know, the son of Hebrew people, he said there's still a lot of really good reasons to be a Christian,
even if Jesus isn't virgin born.
Well, frankly, I can't think of any.
If Jesus is not virgin born, then he's not divine.
And if he's not divine, he's not God.
And if he's not God, then his death on the cross means absolutely nothing.
...dead in our
trespasses and
said,
you know,
we need to stop...
Yeah.
How about looking at it like a book that has stood the test of time for 2 ,000 years.
In fact, longer than that, if you include the old Hebrew scriptures.
But it's interesting that you brought that up, because I have had
conversations with even conservative Bible -believing evangelicals, and
on a couple of occasions I was surprised and it might be because they didn't really think through
what they were going to say before they said it, but I have heard a
couple of men say, well, if they found the bones of Jesus, I would
just have to go to a plan B as to what I believe about the resurrection.
I'm like, what?
I mean, what are you talking about?
I mean, Paul said we are men most miserable.
I mean, that's an absurd way of looking at it.
As if the claims of enemies of Christ are supposed to alter the truths of Scripture
and the Gospel.
Yeah, at that point, not only are we dead in our trespasses and
a liar, but a good moral preacher at that point.
Right.
I mean, he's caught in the history of humankind
and
it
should be
him.
Amen. Amen.
And here we move on to a question that comes up in a lot of my
conversations with Roman Catholics.
Jesus asks, who are my mother and brothers?
If you could explain.
Yeah.
Well,
it's
interesting
because
Jesus
seems
relatively
many
cases
are.
Yeah, I can never figure out how our Roman Catholic friends, other than the fact that obviously
people are blind until they are regenerate and they can't see things that we who
are born again look upon as obvious.
But in Luke 11, you have that remarkable occurrence
where Luke 11 and starting in verse 27, while Jesus was saying these things, one of
the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, blessed is the womb that bore
you and the breasts at which you nursed.
But he, Jesus said, on the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of
God and observe.
It.
It's just remarkable how people could still hold up Mary to the
level of adoration and which I believe is idolatry
that they do and completely ignore such a clear and obvious passage.
Yes.
Obviously,
Jesus
put
the
highest
Jesus
humanity.
Jesus.
Yeah.
And it's it's absolutely mind boggling that Mary, one of the proofs that she
was not sinless that Mary, even though she knew from the angel that
she was going to conceive the Son of God, she still was
joining her sons in questioning his sanity.
She was with them when they were trying to get Jesus back
home and reign him in from preventing himself from acting like a madman.
It's very bizarre.
It's a family intervention, essentially.
Yeah.
They were trying to stage a family intervention and Jesus had no part of it.
He wasn't going to be deterred from his mission.
Yeah.
And obviously, Mary was in sin when she was questioning the one whom she already knew was
conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Very strange, indeed.
But we are going to our final break right now.
And if you'd like to join us on the air, I would do so quickly because we're rapidly running out of time.
And our email address is chrisarnson at gmail dot com.
Chrisarnson at gmail dot com.
Don't go away.
God willing, we'll be right back with Israel Wayne and more questions Jesus asks right
after these messages from our sponsors.

otherwise faith insulting material promoted by the secular book vendors.

about that sale from Chris Ornsen on Iron Sharpens Iron Radio.
Also, with the holidays coming up, please remember, in addition to cvbbs .com, please remember
Solid Ground Christian Books.
They are going through a very serious lull in sales and they
help keep Iron Sharpens Iron Radio on the air through their advertising dollars and we would hate for
that or those advertising dollars to disappear because of a financial hardship
with Solid Ground Christian Books.

solid -ground -books .com solid -ground
-books .com and load up on holiday gifts for those whom you love
because obviously the gifts that you get from Solid Ground Christian Books will have eternal value.
We are back now with our guest, Israel Wayne, and our discussion of questions Jesus asks.
If you'd like to join us before we run out of time with a question, our email address is chrisornsen at gmail

Chrisornsen at gmail .com.
One of the questions that you have in your book is what are you
seeking in regard to discipleship, if you could explain?
In John chapter 1, we have this account and
what it
is
that
they
question, I really try to
have a
lot of people
that want
to be
Christian to be healthy,
well, understand
that means that he's a king, he
does not.
Man, what
are we
seeking?
Amen, and you move on to a question which is
one of those biblical references that seems to be globally
known even by many outside of Christianity who have a very
cursory knowledge of what the Bible teaches,
what will it profit a man?
Interesting quick story about that is that a friend of mine, Rich
Romano, who happens to be the Christian brother of world -renowned
comedian Ray Romano.
When Ray got his job as the lead in
the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond and he was moving away from New York
to California Rich put a note in his wallet that said
I hope you never forget this with all the fame and fortune that may accompany your trip to
California and it was that text, what will profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own
soul, and I was very surprised that Ray actually took that out of his wallet and read it
on the Oprah Winfrey show and said that he carries that note with him wherever he goes.
I hope that actually has more meaning to Ray than just sentimentality, but anyway, if you could
tell us about this.
Reference that you have.
It's fascinating that Jesus talked so much about money and about finances.
We often think that Jesus only talked about love
and
time
and talent.
And a question that you move on to
right after that is, well actually you already addressed
who touched me, let's move on to.
Do you want to get well?
Yeah, do you want to get well in the
chapter on emotional healing.
And people really struggle, you
know, to
trust
him
we
don't
like,
don't get
healed, pain
and
struggle
are
important.
Well God
does
have...
Amen, and.
How about the question, why are you afraid.
I have to admit that even though I firmly believe in Jesus Christ I
believe in the sovereignty of God, I believe that everything that happens is according to his decree, and yet I
find myself being filled with anxiety and fear about things all the time.
Not proud of that, but tell us about this question, why are you.
Afraid?
Yeah, you know, I did a voice
and it
really
biologically,
walking
down the
street
in
obedience.
Now here
is a
question.
That kind of sends chills up my arms when I think about it.
But Jesus asking, what is your name in regarding.
To the demoniac?
Yeah, you know this is really a question that may have been.
You know,
we tend
to be
sometimes Christian rationalists the
Bible
teaches on this, but...
We have
a
question
in regard
to
that.
From Ronald in Eastern Suffolk County Long Island New York, he wants to know, do you believe
that a truly born again Christian can be demon possessed.
Absolutely
not,
and things
like
when you are occupied, when you are filled with...
Well thank
you
Ronald, you have
also.
Won a free copy of Questions Jesus Asks so please make sure we have your full mailing address
in Eastern Suffolk County Long Island New York.
And if you could, I want you to have five minutes of uninterrupted time where you can summarize what
you most want etched in the hearts and minds of our listeners today.
Okay, well one thing
I'd love
to do is to
go over just the money
and finance.
Why
are you
afraid?
Has no one
condemned you?
Do you
love
me?
And this
is really
a question he
asks on the resurrection
and then
communicatory,
John
17 3, this is what
we're
going to do
to know
him
better.
Amen,
well I want
to
make sure that our
listeners.

Please send us a registration if you would like to attend to chrisarnson at gmail .com.
That's for the Iron Trip and Zion Radio Pastors Luncheon this Thursday October 26 11 a .m. to 2 p .m.
at the Carlisle Fire and Rescue Banquet Hall in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, featuring keynote
speaker Bill Shishko, who is on the faculty at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Taylors,
South Carolina, and also our guest of honor will be Steve Bloom, who is Pennsylvania State
Representative and candidate for Congress, and much more than both of those things, he's a dedicated
Bible -believing born -again Christian.
I want to thank everybody who listened today, especially those who took the time to write in questions and I want you all
to always remember for the rest of your lives that Jesus Christ is a far greater Savior than you are a sinner.
