The Bible Line - November 30, 2021

Listener from Gadsden, AL - Last night my daughter asked me what do I think about asexual people? I am not familiar with it and am wondering if Dr. Broggi could help me better understand a biblical view of asexuality is.

Anonymous - When a person gets married, do they have to be married by a pastor? I married my husband about 3 years ago and our officiant was a woman that sold us our wedding rings. Does God recognize our marriage as biblical? I did not question this until recently, but it is very important to know how God sees our relationship.

Has Pastor Broggi ever heard of "Celebrate Recovery" and, if so, what does he think of this?

Michael W., Ottawa, ON, CA - We attend CBC Beaufort every time we are in South Carolina. We also enjoy Dr. Broggi’s preaching and teaching ministry and watch often. We are starting to plan ahead for our funeral and wanted to know what the biblical position is on cremation vs traditional burial in a casket. I'm not sure if Pastor Broggi has ever spoken on this. If there is a sermon or a bible study on this topic we would appreciate if you could let us know.

A listener wants some information on the apostle, Bartholomew. She was watching a program that indicated the person chosen to be an apostle was Nathaniel. Could Dr. Broggi explain?

John G., Manchester, NH - I was reading in Deut: 9:9-18 and Moses did not eat or drink for 40 days. Jesus went up to the mountain to fast and pray for 40 days. Is there a message/connection? I only thought that the 40 days as well as the 40 years the Israelites were wandering before going into the promised land, seems to be some kind of purge/cleansing? Can you help me make any connection between the two? Thank you.

A caller would like to know what a couple should do when they are both professing Christians but the husband is verbally abusive and not wanting to be a loving partner in the marriage.

Noelle K., Beaufort, SC - Is the Salem mentioned in Genesis 14:18 an early name for Jerusalem?
