Ask the Pastor, February 23rd

Enjoy these questions this week. You can submit your questions for Pastor Blake at FBCedmond.org/askpastor.

1.Given that the word “Christian” was originally conceived by opponents to the church in Antioch, are we really given the license to accurately call someone a Christian or non-Christian when the criteria were created by those enemies from Antioch? And since it was originally meant to be a derogatory name?

2. How can interpreting a Scriptural passage simply based on one’s personal experiences be dangerous?

 3. Nowadays, culture says that gender is a “feeling” and “choice” people get to make. We are seeing the term “sex defined at birth” as an excuse that our male/female designation based on biological function seen at birth is simply label parents throw on us, and we can choose whether or not that is accurate down the road based on how we “feel.” How does Genesis 1 and 2 show that gender and sex cannot be separated and that God actually created them to go hand-in-hand?
