Greg answers questions on how to respond to the charge that Joshua v. Canaanites is the same as ISIS, whether the belief in the deity of Christ is necessary for salvation, how Jesus could have been amongst sinners if sinners can’t be in God’s presence, how to respond to “It’s objectively wrong to torture babies because it objectively harms them,” and why people call the Bible the word of God when it calls Jesus the Word.
