This is our 250th episode! Thank you to our listeners in over 160 countries around the world, we appreciate your support! For this episode, we chose a unique subject where we will consider questions that are rarely submitted to our web site or that the religious world tends to never consult the Bible about. Some of the questions we will discuss:
- Does the Lord give mankind the latitude to add, remove or modify the work, worship or structure of the church?
- If the Bible does not explicitly prohibit something, does that mean it is ok to practice it?
- Are we authorized to operate the church as a for-profit business?
- Is it acceptable Christian behavior to refuse to love or associate with friends and family who I do not agree with politically?

One of the most important, wonderful, and misunderstood topics in Christianity is that of grace, especially God’s grace extended to sinful humanity. This includes controversies over:
- Will God save everyone (“universalism”)
- Will God arbitrarily save a select few (“predestination”)
- Do we need to do anything initially to receive God’s grace and be forgiven of our sins (“plan of salvation” and “faith only”)?
- Do we need to do anything afterwards to continue to be forgiven (“once saved, always saved”, “salvation by works”)?
In this episode, we will answer questions submitted over the years about Grace.

Many in our modern, high-tech world view the Bible as quaint, old-fashioned, or not relevant today. That includes the closely related concepts of absolute truth, right and wrong, as well as “sin” In this episode, we will answer questions that have been submitted over the years to our website (biblequestions.org) about sin. Some of the questions we will consider include:
- What scripture should I use when trying to show a proclaimed believer that deliberately walking in sin (homosexuality & sex outside marriage) separates them from God's blessings?
- When I say my prayers I ask for forgiveness of my sins, but I know that some of the sins will be repeated often. Will I go to heaven?
- Does God judge thoughts in your head as sin, if it's not about lust?
- Considering it is God that sets people up in power and that there is no mention of voting for government in New Testament scriptures. Does voting show lack of faith and therefore a sin to vote?
