Hank also answers the following questions: In the interview with Carl, he said one of the actors prays to Mary. What is your take on praying to Mary?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, we present another episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank talked with journalist Mindy Belz, senior editor of World Magazine, and author of They Say We Are Infidels: On the Run from ISIS with Persecuted Christians from the Middle-East.

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, we present another episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank talked with journalist Mindy Belz, senior editor of World Magazine, and author of They Say We Are Infidels: On the Run from ISIS with Persecuted Christians from the Middle-East.

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank mentions that Islam is the only religion with a socio-politico system of laws that demand the persecution of unbelievers. Also, a reminder of this month's resource, MUSLIM: What You Need to Know about the World's Fastest-Growing Religion. Hank also answers the following questions: A Jehovah's Witness I have been sharing with asked two questions: Why has the word Jehovah been taken out of the Bible? Why do Christians commit idolatry by worshipping the cross? Am I wrong to be troubled by people using the phrase "God is good" when good things are happening? It seems to me that this could cause unbelievers to think that God isn't "always" good. My wife divorced me 4 years ago. I am I wrong to maintain hope that we can be reconciled? I am doing a study on Genesis 6:1-6, and interpret the Sons of God as "righteous" human beings, and the Daughters of Men as the unrighteous offspring of Cain. Am I correct in this? How does being "born again" relate to Lutherans? How do we know when we have been born again?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank begins by mentioning the End-It campaign. Text ENDIT (all capital letters) to 41444 to make your contribution. More information available at: https://www.equip.org/time2endit/. Hank also mentions, Mein Kampf (My Struggle), by Adolf Hitler, one of the books featured in 10 Books That Screwed Up the World by Benjamin Wiker. Hitler was not an evil madman; he was an evil genius. As Benjamin points out, "We might easily think that Hitler's genocidal ambitions were rooted entirely in his virulent anti-Semitism. But Mein Kampf helps to reveal that they were merely one malevolent effect of a far deeper, more profound and pervasive evil." Hank also answers the following questions: Could you explain transubstantiation? What do you think about this belief? What can you tell me about Charles Nieman of the Abundant Living Faith Center? How do you handle thoughts that are simply too big to grasp, such as eternity? Could you compare and contrast the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Anglican Church? Is there a record in the New Testament of Jesus offering a sacrifice?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank starts the broadcast by talking about the book, The Pivot of Civilization, by Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. This book was written three years before Adolf Hitler wrote Mein Kampf. In her book, Margaret Sanger promotes birth control for the purposes of eugenics-the birth of better people to create a master race. Sanger's book is one of the books examined by Benjamin Wiker in this month's resource, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World. Hank also answers the following questions: Why is it that the Catholics put so much emphasis on the Virgin Mary? Why does the Western church feel like we have to have answers that only God can answer? Can you give a short explanation of the 1,000 years in Revelation 20?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank opens by discussing The State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin. G. K. Chesterton once said that communism eliminates the pickpocket by eliminating the pocket. In 10 Books That Screwed Up the World, Benjamin Wiker expands on that comment by stating, "That was far too generous. In Lenin's view, the man who owns the pants must be shot for having pockets, the pickpocket must be made the executioner, and all those watching the spectacle must be forced to make pocketless pants or else they too will be shot." Hank also answers the following questions: What about mudskippers and lungfish? I've heard from a lot of atheists who claim these prove evolution. Your response to a woman yesterday, to pay her debts then tithe, does not correspond to my understanding of tithing. Your thoughts? How do I explain to someone that "accepting Jesus," though not written that way in Scripture, is the proper way of salvation, not baptism? Does it matter how you make your public declaration for Christ? What about modes of baptism? Why is Jesus coming back again since we are with Him in Heaven when we die? What do you think of people who have been cremated? My wife is a good Christian, but she has trouble believing that Jesus Christ is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. Will this hinder her salvation and prevent her from being saved?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank opens the broadcast by discussing another author whose writings are discussed in CRI's resource, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World, Friedrich Nietzsche. Hank also answers the following questions: Can you address the issue of tithing? Can you help me approach Mormon friends? How can you consider Muslims to be so bad when some Christians have been guilty of owning slaves? Can you tell me anything about a preacher by the name of Gino Jennings? Can you talk about the gift of tongues? Can you address the issue of women as pastors? I am a full preterist, and I appreciate the book you recommended to me, Is God a Moral Monster. Will we see the temple in Jerusalem built in the near future?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank focuses on another book examined in CRI's resource for the month, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World. Hank discusses the book, The Descent of Man by Charles Darwin, and its far-reaching impact on cultures around the world. Hank also answers the following questions: Ephesians 4:8-9 says Christ descended into the lower parts of the earth. Can you clarify this for me? Does the term Allah refer to the Moon god in Arabia? What is your take on the word Abba? Is it proper to use this term in prayer to God?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses Muslim eschatology, and compares it with Biblical eschatology. For Christians eschatology is the thread that weaves the tapestry of Scripture into a harmonious pattern. While Christians debate various secondary aspects of eschatology, they are united in the truth that Christ will come again. Conversely, Islamic eschatology is alarmingly different. Hank also discusses the resurrection of Jesus Christ, using the "R" in the acronym D-O-C-T-R-I-N-E. Hank also answers the following questions: From an Orthodox perspective, what is your understanding of sin and repentance? I asked my pastor what color Christ was, and he said white. I don't believe that is correct, as He was Jewish. What are your thoughts? Do the scriptures give a physical description of Jesus? What is your take on the issues of post-millennialism, partial, and full preterism?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses this month's CRI resource, 10 Books That Screwed Up the World. Referring to 10 Books, Hank discusses the book Utilitarianism by John Stewart Mill. Such a little book created such a large amount of societal havoc. Hank also answers the following questions: Does the Qur'an teach that the world is flat? What can you tell me of Carlton Pearson associated with the Church of God in Christ? Is it true that Muhammed was raised as a worshipper of Allah, the Moon god? What can you tell me about Myles Munroe, and his doctrine that God cannot do anything on Earth without asking our permission?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank opens the broadcast today by discussing CRI's newest resource, 10 Books That Screwed Up The World. Hank discusses the incredible number of problems directly connected with the writings and philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Hank also answers the following questions: Is it ok for a Church to promote Halloween related events? What is the opposing view to Dispensationalism? Covenant Theology? Why are there other books that are not in the Bible? If you have an opportunity to ask Jesus Christ a question when you get to Heaven, what would be your first, and second questions? How can I talk to my unbelieving friends about Christ, when the Christian life involves pain and suffering? How do amillennialists address time in the book of Revelation? So you deny evolution? Am I wrong to be troubled by people using the phrase "God is good" when good things are happening? It seems to me that this could cause unbelievers to think that God isn't "always" good. My wife divorced me 4 years ago. I am I wrong to maintain hope that we can be reconciled?

On today's edition of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank mentions that he has been doing interviews on yesterday's Manhattan Massacre, and will do more after the program tonight. One notable interview was with Lauren Green with Fox News. That interview can be viewed here: http://video.foxnews.com/v/5632301583001/. Hank also introduces CRI's resource for November: 10 Books That Screwed Up the World, And 5 Others That Didn't Help by Benjamin Wiker. Hank also answers the following questions: A friend of mine compared Christ's words on bringing a sword to Islam's many references to the sword, stating that since Christ's words are interpreted figuratively, so should Islam's. What are your thoughts on this? A friend of mine, a brother in the Lord, is facing divorce, due to addictions, not sexual immorality. He asks, "Can I ever get remarried under these circumstances?" I am doing a study on Genesis 6:1-6, and interpret the Sons of God as "righteous" human beings, and the Daughters of Men as the unrighteous offspring of Cain. Am I correct in this? How does being "born again" relate to Lutherans? How do we know when we have been born again?
