Student Questions: Recent Episodes
Whitney Lane Wiley
Mrs. Wiley, Mr Virgin, and Mr. Hartness discuss student theology questions from Historical-Literary Approaches to Scripture
"Why did God stop giving prophecies when we need them the most?" Well, who said God stopped giving prophecies? And why do you think we need them now more than ever? Join Mrs. Wiley and Mr. Virgin as we talk about prophecy in modern times and, as always, rephrase the question to dive deep into theological truths.
Aren't there ghosts and dragons and mermaids and stuff in the Bible? What are Biblical numbers and why are they important #666? Was Jonah's whale real? Join us and special guest Ms. Shack for this fun silly episode filled with scary stories, fun facts, and moments of genuine reflection on the gospel.
... And why didn't Jesus come sooner in human history? Join us for this episode full of rich theology and silly digressions.
What's the point of sacrifices? why did they choose that instead of another way to worship God? Also, why do we not worship the same way the Israelites did? On this special birthday edition, join the party with Wiley, Virgin, and Hartness as they discuss those questions.
Are Biblical names chosen by birth or chosen to convey the meaning of the story? In other words, did the author choose to rename characters for the sake of the narrative? Join us in a tinkering discussion of Biblical naming, names within different genres, and fun with Hebrew word-play =)
Mr. Virgin, Mrs. Wiley, and Mr. Hartness discuss "is being gay a sin?" and how to handle that question as believers.
