Cornerstone Chapel New Year Q&A Session

Speakers

Holiday-format annual Bible Q&A across all three services; pre-submitted and live questions prioritized by broadest appeal.
Straight-through-Bible series pauses; resumes Philippians next Sunday.

No scriptural evidence demons/Satan access thoughts/hearts (God alone omniscient/omnipresent).
Pray silently if concerned; audible prayer fine (God bigger); demons guess via patterns.

Not vending machine for wants; aligns heart with God's will (e.g., Gethsemane: "not my will").

Some chemical (see doctor); others life stresses.
Sermon ref: "Help God, I'm Depressed" (1 Kings 19, March 2015, teaching library).

Talmud: Jewish commentary on OT (historical, not inspired).
Quran/Book of Mormon: Angel-inspired claims contradict Bible (errors, post-Biblical); avoid as inspired.

Continuationist: Still active today until eternal state (not canon closure); for church edification (1 Cor 12); love central.

No; response to salvation by faith/grace (Titus 3:5-7); like wedding ring (public declaration).
Examples: Thief on cross, Cornelius (Acts 10); "for" in Acts 2:38 means "in response to" forgiveness.

Switched NIV (1984) to NKJV due to 2011 NIV revisions (e.g., John 3:16 attribution).

Biblical: Eternal Abrahamic covenant (land/people); Messiah from Jews; God not done (Rom 11:25-26; Zech 12-13).
Political: Only democracy amid hostile Muslim states.
OK to critique government/corruption; US aid military (not to "wicked kings").

Angels chose rebellion (pride); no repentance for angels; humans redeemed/incorruptible in eternity.

Roots in Hindu pantheism ("union with universe"); poses/meditation problematic; stretch cautiously, avoid philosophy.

Reject: Bible teaches eternal torment (Matt 25:46; Rev 20:10,14-15); hell for Satan/angels, humans choose via rejection.
Work theology privately; platform demands clarity.

Extra books (Apocrypha): Intertestamental, uninspired (no Jesus/apostles quotes; contradictions, e.g., alms for sins).
Transubstantiation: No; symbolic/spiritual (John 6:63); elements remind of sacrifice.

Yes: Sins removed "east from west" (Ps 103:12); no condemnation (Rom 8:1); enemy accuses.

Yes: Assignments post-return (Dan 12:11-13 interval); co-reign (2 Tim 2:12; Rev 20:4-6); temple build (Ezek 40-48).

Men: Loves/seeks Lord/Word, serves, integrity, humble, employed (not boy/selfish).
Women: Loves Lord/Word, not self-absorbed/flirtatious.

YouTube ads: Church doesn't monetize; YouTube inserts.
144,000: Jewish evangelists (Rev 7,14; 12k/tribe) in tribulation.
Toxic people: Biblical to limit (1 Cor 5; Ps 1); pray, be salt/light.
Wilderness season: Dryness/discouragement; remember God's kindness (Ps 63); deepens intimacy.
Sinner's prayer: Biblical aid to confess/repent/believe (Rom 10:9-10); decision starter.
Anxiety: Cast cares (1 Pet 5:7); pray/thanksgiving for peace (Phil 4:6-7).
Public school: Personal; prioritize spiritual over academics/athletics; agenda worsened.
Babylon: Likely literal revived (Rev 17-18; Iraq); occult epicenter.
Matt 7:21-23: False prophets (works-based); true believers trust Christ alone.
Earth age: Young (~6-10k years; genealogies).

Philippians series starts next Sunday.
Wednesday nights resume Jan 7: 1 Chronicles.
Special Wed Jan 21: Israel/anti-Semitism (guests; Candace Owens/Tucker Carlson mentioned) (https://cornerstonechapel.net/events).
