The Bible Line - October 15, 2019

A caller wanted to know if Pastor Broggi believes that pastors need to "feel the call' to become a pastor?

What does Pastor Broggi think of the Pope's deciding to consider whether priests can marry?

What is a verse that affirms that the Holy Spirit is a distinct person?

Beverly - My granddaughter has read the book "The Road Back to You" and is about to lead a study on it in her nondenominational church.  When I told her of my concerns she got upset with me.  What is your opinion on this book?

Please explain John MacArthur's position as a 5 point Calvinist.  Is he teaching that God chooses only the elect to be saved?

Our next caller would like Pastor Broggi to explain his stance against medical marijuana. Does he have the same opinion about all the other prescribed medications people take?

William, Stevens City, VA - My concern relates to the practice of human cremation. I see no evidence of this practice within the Scripture. That should say something right there! I only note the burying of the dead. The closest Scripture comes to cremation was when Abraham intended to sacrifice Isaac. I know burying is fine for Christians, but can you provide Scriptural passages that would warn us not to use the practice of cremation which maybe less costly, but are perhaps linked to other cultures and religious practices that are not Christian?On a slightly different side of that question, for Christians that do get cremated, do you suppose that there will be problems for those asleep in Christ when Christ returns to Mt. Olivet at His second coming?
