Here are the questions asked at Table Talk 5.

1. Can you give us an overview of church history?

2. Acts 13:48 says, “as many as had been appointed to eternal life.” How would that be explained? Does that mean that some people are not pre-appointed?

3. Dr. Morey, 1 Timothy 2:4 says that God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. If he wants all men to be saved, why does he only give grace to some and not all?

4. I was attempting to show my coworker that won’t eat certain foods Mark 7:19 where it says Jesus declared all foods kosher, but it wasn’t in his King James Version. How can this be?

5. 1 Corinthians 4:6 says don’t go beyond what is written. But didn’t other books like Revelation get written after the time this was written?

6. You mentioned friends of yours that have studied with you that later fell away from the faith. Is our salvation secure? Do we have security once we’ve come to the Lord and believed?

7. I’m a little confused because the Bible says that no one can pluck a believer out of Jesus’ hand, and it also mentions a list of sins in 1 Corinthians 6 that prevent one from being saved. I’ve committed those sins on the list. Can’t we say that some backsliders are currently saved?

8. You mentioned Zwingli as an example of a manly Christian. But I saw a video about his life that depicted him as murdering Baptists. How can this man be used as a positive example of a Christian man?

9. Dr. Morey, I heard you on the radio saying that there isn’t as big a difference between Dispensationalism and Covenant Theology. What did you mean by this?

10. Do you consider Rushdoony and others to be representative of Covenant Theology?

11. I heard your lecture on evil on suffering and you mentioned that sin, death, and the second law of thermodynamics were operating before Adam sinned. Can you explain how this was operating prior to Adam’s sin?

12. Was there death before Adam’s sin?

13. How do you rebut the claims of Hugh Ross?

14. Does the death mentioned in Genesis 3 refer to spiritual death? I’m struggling with understanding this verse with a verse in Romans 8 where it says the creation was subject to frustration.

15. Can you please give an explanation of Middle Knowledge as expounded by individuals such as William Lane Craig?

16. I’m a Seventh Day Adventist pastor and I’m very much thankful for the book and the lectures on the Sabbath by Dr. Morey. Please pray for us Seventh Day Adventists that we should abandon the teachings that are cultic. One of the major reasons why many cults like Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists is the strong belief that their church is the true church. How do you present the Baptist or Evangelical church as the true church?

17. May I ask you several questions on the theme of the resurrection, the shroud of Turin, and the body of Jesus between the time of his death and his resurrection?

18. Regarding Jewish burial customs, do you know how it was done?

19. My question has to do with 1 Corinthians 14. It has to do with the gift of prophecy and tongues. Could you please discuss the role of the gift of prophecy and the got in today’s church. And should we all desire the gift of prophecy and tongues according to this passage?

20. When you said that prophet doesn’t necessarily mean one who can foretell the future, I thought of Deuteronomy 18 where it tells us how to identify a false prophet based on whether his prediction comes to pass or not. How do you understand this?

21. In John 10:34 Jesus references Psalm 82 saying that it is written in the law that they are gods? Can you explain this?

22. Two-part question: 1. I need to know how we know the Bible is the word of God? 2. What is the criteria for knowing that the Bible is the word of God?

23. What is transducianism?

24. I have a question regarding the issue of cloning. If cloning is the duplication of physical matter, is it also a duplication of the soul?

25. Is cloning wrong?

26. What about artificial insemination?

27. A friend of mine read Norman Geisler’s book, Chosen But Free, and he was using some of the arguments in the book in favor of free will as well as the problem of evil. Can you address this?

28. Dr. Morey, in your book “When Is It Right To Fight” you distinguish between lying and concealing the truth. And you refer to John 7 where Jesus tells his brothers that he will not go to the feast but afterwards does go to the feast. Could you explain the difference between lying and concealing the truth in that context?

29. Matthew 28:20, which is the Great Commission, is this addressed only to the disciples or to everyone?

30. My church has been thinking of starting a Sunday school class. Is it not good to have Sunday school in church?

31. My question refers to lying. Is lying right in any circumstance? If we’re trying to smuggle Bibles into China and we’re asked if we have Bibles, is it wrong to lie to get the word of God into China?

32. This is just a very disturbing topic. I’m not 100% satisfied with your answer, yet. How can we reconcile deception with violating God’s commands not to lie?
