<p><strong>Questions Covered:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>04:45 – When discussing 2 Corinthians where Paul mentions not being unequally yoked, my protestant friend argued is it a sin to marry outside your own faith. I argue that Paul was giving his own opinion and not giving a commandment from God. Is this a proper response?</li>
<li>13:33 – Matthew 7:6 says don’t throw pearls to swine. Would giving bibles to the homeless be throwing pearls to swine?</li>
<li>18:30 – How would I prove biblically that there is a particular judgement and not a resting in Christ until the final judgement? Do people go to Hades now or do they go to Gehenna?</li>
<li>37:05 – How do Catholics combat free grace theology using scripture?</li>
<li>45:38 – In John 21:15 Jesus says to Peter, “do you love me more than these?” Who are “these”?</li>
<li>48:30 – At the end of Acts, Paul was told he didn’t do anything wrong. Why then was Paul beheaded?</li>
