Pastors & Elders Q&A

This powerful Q&A session tackles some of Christianity's most challenging questions, inviting us deeper into understanding who Jesus truly is and what our faith really means. At the heart of this discussion lies a crucial truth: the identity of Jesus Christ is not negotiable. When we encounter groups like Jehovah's Witnesses who claim Jesus is the Archangel Michael, or Mormons who teach He's a created being, we're not splitting hairs—we're talking about entirely different people. The question Jesus asked Peter echoes through history: 'Who do you say that I am?' Our answer determines everything. Scripture is clear in 1 John that denying Christ's deity or humanity reveals the spirit of antichrist. This isn't about winning arguments with family members who hold different beliefs; it's about understanding that close enough isn't enough when it comes to knowing our Savior. The session also addresses God's unwavering faithfulness to Israel, reminding us that He doesn't abandon His promises or His people. Replacement theology attempts to write Israel out of God's story, but Romans 11 declares that God has not cast away His people. Understanding this reveals something profound about God's character—if He remained faithful to Israel despite their rejection, how much more can we trust His promises to us? These aren't just theological debates; they're windows into the unchanging nature of our God and the specificity required in knowing Him truly.
