Question of the Week: What did the Bible mean when it called Jesus The Prophet?
Verses: Deuteronomy 18:15-16, Mark 6:15, John 7:40,

In the Old Testament, the Jewish people were promised that a prophet would come who was like Moses. Moses was unique from any other prophet in that he spoke to God directly as a man speaks to his friend, and also was there when God spoke directly to the nation of Israel from Mount Sanai when they received the Law. This was a prediction of the coming of the Messiah who wouldn’t just be another prophet, but would be known as The Prophet. The one who would speak God’s word first hand. All prophets before Jesus physically came to this world spoke to Israel as God spoke to them. They were His representatives, but not God Himself. When Jesus came, it was God directly speaking to His people. That’s why when the crowds called Him The Prophet, it was recognizing His words were God’s and that He was the fulfillment of the promise that God would one day visit and speak to His people again.

Question of the Week: Why were animals sacrificed by Israel to God?
Verses: Hebrews 10:1-10, Romans 6:23,
The animal sacrifices were not meaningless, but served the purpose of pointing Israel to what would result in their salvation. When an animal was sacrificed on behalf of someone’s sins, even the Old Testament is clear that it only provided a covering rather than actual redemption. However, this is the way salvation has always worked. Just like we look back and remember what Jesus has done for us to forgive us for our sins, the Old Testament sacrifices put into the minds of Israel not only how serious sin is, but how seriously it needed to be dealt with. This animal substitute would place the hope in the hearts of Israel that God would cover their sins. While it wasn’t going to be through the animal, the animal’s death wasn’t in vain. It pointed the Old Testament saints to salvation.

Question of the Week: Are Mediums Inspired by Satan?
Verses: 1 Samuel 28:7-15, 1 Samuel 2:6, 1 Samuel 16:7, Acts 16:16-19, John 8:44

People need to be careful when they form conclusions about the spiritual realm when you only have one historical event to go on. Mediums are very rarely inspired by the demonic. The act of a medium is literally the same term that we would use for a ventriloquist act. Someone who speaks from their belly isn’t necessarily speaking at the same time from the enemy. We know from scripture that the heart and soul of the enemy is that of a liar, and the abilities of the enemy aren’t even close to God’s. It’s this information and more that people so often overlook in order to come to more dramatic conclusions about their circumstances. Satan certainly is a liar, but he doesn’t need to take over someone’s body to give them the power of lying. People do that all the time. The issue isn’t the effect or presentation, but the message that makes it a lie. A medium knows how to put on a show, but the only thing they really have in common with the demonic is that they are both lying to you. The solution to this isn’t an exorcism, but to know the truth and avoid those you know don’t have it.

Question of the Week: What is a woman’s role in the church?
Verses: 1 Timothy 2:12, Titus 2:1-5, Galatians 3:28
A lot of controversy surrounds the passage that says that a woman is not to teach or hold a position of authority over a man. However, an examining of the text itself, the one who wrote it, and the other examples of the roles available to women in scripture clear the matter up. First, the passage doesn’t say what’s usually taken by people. It doesn’t say that women can’t teach or have authority. It says they can’t teach men, or hold positions of authority over men. The reasons for this aren’t Paul’s preferences, but the order of creation that God put in place. Second, the accusation that is still leveled towards Paul as being biased against women is put to rest by the fact that he is also the one God used to write the words, “There is neither jew nor greek, male nor female, barbarian nor scythian, but you are all one in Christ Jesus.” And third, the actual role women are to have in church is detailed for us in the book of Titus. They are to teach other women and have positions of authority over other women. There is no more effective women’s ministry than one led by an actual woman. Anyone who tells you that a man can minister to and counsel a woman better than another woman is deluding himself. God has called men to a position of leadership over the church as a whole for His own reasons. This doesn’t mean that women have no role in the church, but rather every other role including specific roles that men aren’t to have either. This is the role of counseling and ministering to other women in the church.

Question of the Week: How do we know the Bible is the Word of God?
Verses: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Daniel 9:24-26, Romans 15:4

Any book can make claims about itself, but how can we confirm the Bible is actually the Word of God? The Past, the Present, and the Future. The Past is referring to it accurately recording history in the way we’d expect God to be able to. The Bible was held to the strictest standards historically and to this day remains the anvil that has worn out many skeptics hammers. The more we dig archaeologically, the more they find that affirms what the Bible has claimed for centuries. The Present is referring to it remaining doctrinally consistent on the most controversial subjects known to man despite being written by 40 different authors over 1500 years of time. You can have 4 different authors within 15 years of time and they will differ on even minor issues. Yet beyond time there seemed to be a source these men were recording that went beyond their opinions. And finally the Future is referring to predictive prophecy. The Bible almost shows off in dedicating a quarter of itself to talking about things that hadn’t happened at the time they were written. The detail and opportunity for error are constantly presented to it yet it always manages somehow to get it right when it’s talking about things that haven’t happened yet. Because it is historically accurate, doctrinally consistent, and speaks of things beyond the limits of time, we can conclude based on the evidence that the Bible is the word of God.
