The Bible Line - November 10, 2020

James, Savannah, GA - Could Dr. Broggi talk about how to address non-believers who ask about the so-called 'lost books' of the Bible.

Debbie - What percentage of Christians are 5 point Calvinists? And in the plain reading of Scripture, how can anyone conclude Christ's atonement is limited?"

A caller wants to know if Dr. Broggi has a series/sermons on God's love for people... specifically how God interacted with people (more specifically special needs, those with learning disabilities, outcasts, and those with low self esteem) while He was on earth. If there is not such a series/sermon, would Dr. Broggi speak on this topic?

William N. Stephens City, VA - Dr. Broggi, this is a Christian history question and not an actual bible question, but I hope you don't mind. Would you explain the main purposes for the Christian Crusades? My limited understanding is that it was intended to defeat the aggression and conquest of Islamic forces that wanted to capture Europe. Islam forces had been held off by French earlier and this was a second push-back and Christians wanted to re-gain the Holy Land. I have heard some disparaging remarks that the Christians that conducted those campaigns were ugly and brutal. Can you share what you know of the Crusades along with major goals and how well they achieved them? Was it an honorable set of wars?

Margie M., Savannah, GA - Hello, what is an appropriate length for shorts and dresses for teen girls? Are two-piece swim suits okay? I have heard some describe Biblical modesty as covering from the neck to the knees and others (even leaders in my church) who dress the same as the world. As a mom of two girls who want to be stylish, this has been a frequent topic in our home. Please offer your thoughts and how did you handle a girl-in the hot south-near the coast? Thank you!

Amy W., Orange, MA - In light of recent events in our nation, I am hoping you can provide some context for me. How do we measure verses like that in James 3:17-18, 1 Peter 2:13-14, Romans 13:1-7 and Titus 3:1 against the Revolution of 1776 that precipitated the birth of the United States. I have had many argue that the acts of the Revolution were in contrast to Scripture as a defense to the current riots and upheaval happening in our nation currently. I also wanted to thank you for your willingness to be God's servant. I have been thanking God since finding your series and services online in June. You are truly a blessing and have helped deepen my walk with Christ on so many levels. I pray that God continues to use you to reach his people. God Bless
