Scriptural Apologetics

Questions Covered:

• 10:52 - Does the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 relate back to a council 1 Chronicles 28? I’m thinking that if it does, it could be more proof for the papacy.
• 17:14 - Does Matthew quote the Septuagint?
• 21:53 - I heard an interpretation of the story of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac that Abraham failed because he should have offered himself in place of Isaac. Is there any truth to that interpretation?
• 31:46 - I find it’s hard to use 2 Macc 12:46 to defend Purgatory to Protestants because they don’t believe in that book. How do you deal with that?
• 40:20 - How do we answer someone who says that God is Jehovah?
• 45:22 - How do we answer free-gracers that bring up Rom 3:20 as proof that works of the law are all works?
• 49:50 - What is the biblical evidence for inclusivism, meaning that God has mercy for those who through no fault of their own have not heard the gospel? And if there’s time… Why does Acts 1:5 talk about a water baptism and a holy spirit baptism, but Eph 4:5 says “one baptism.”
