Several disturbing things the Pope has said: 10 Qs with Mike Winger (Ep 30)

BibleThinker - A podcast by Mike Winger

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:1. 0:05 {What Did the Pope Say?} Have some of the things Pope Francis has recently said been heretical?2. 39:27 {Does Sin Cause Illness?} Does sinning cause physical illness? Does refraining from sinning stop it? John 9:3 and John 5:14 seem to say both are true. Is this a contradiction?3. 43:17 {Casting Pearls before Swine} In what ways or in what situations might Matthew 7:6 be applicable today?4. 49:24 {Was David Conceived in Adultery?} In Psalm 51:5, David says that in sin his mother conceived him. Is he saying that he has been in sin since his conception, or that his mother was in sin when she conceived him? Was David born in adultery?5. 55:26 {Is Calvinism Heresy?} Why isn’t Calvinism more strongly condemned among non-Calvinists? The doctrine essentially teaches that God will punish people for something completely out of their control, which makes God seem unjust.6. 1:02:35 {Is God Prideful?} Is God prideful? If our purpose in life is to glorify God, does that mean we were created only to praise Him? I know He is worthy of praise, but was He seeking praise by creating us?7. 1:05:49 {Bible Typography} How important is Bible typography? For example, the way the KJV arranges paragraphs makes context harder to understand than in the ESV.8. 1:10:12 {Standing With Israel?} With all of the tensions and things going on over in Israel, how should we be responding to those we’re surrounded by who hate Israel? They don’t seem to understand why we stand with Israel.9. 1:13:56 {Was Simon Always “Peter”?} Catholics always say Jesus changed Simon’s name to Peter. However, previous verses (Matthew 16:16, John 21:15, Matthew 4:18, and Luke 5:8) refer to him as Simon Peter. Jesus says, “You are Peter…” not “From now on, you are Peter.” Was Simon always known as Peter?10. 1:20:35 {Adam – “Leave & Cleave”?} How do you interpret Genesis 2:24? How could Adam come with such a statement, since he had no earthly mother or father? I do this live stream most Fridays at 1 p.m. Pacific Time.
