On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (12/10/25), Hank reads from John chapter 1, expounding on the miracle of the incarnation of Christ; His two natures, fully human and fully divine. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. This is what we celebrate at Christmas.Hank also answers the following questions:What happens to a believer after death? Charles - New Windsor, NY (7:35)What does it mean to be created in God’s image? Charles - New Windsor, NY (8:57)How should we understand the Trinity in light of 1 Corinthians 15:27?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (12/09/25), Hank shares his thoughts on the coming of Christ in flesh. The reason we rejoice at Christmas is because the baby born to Mary and Joseph was no ordinary child. This baby was the ultimate fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy of Immanuel: “God with us.” Although John’s Gospel does not include a narrative of Jesus’ birth, the doctrine of the Incarnation is beautifully summed up in his introduction: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” The clear testimony of Scripture is that, in the Incarnation, Christ was one person with two natures; fully God and fully man. As Theanthropos, the God-Man, Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life and died a sinner’s death to atone, once for all, for the sins of humanity.Hank also answers the following questions:What happens to our soul when we die? What about the spirit? Frank - El Paso, TX (5:27)Can you explain what it means when Jesus says the days will be shortened in Matthew 24:22?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (12/08/25), Hank comments on the fact that there are many stars, but only one Superstar. He spoke, and the universe leapt into existence. The morning stars together proclaimed His holy birth. He is the root and offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star. It’s no wonder that the prophecies concerning Him outnumber all the others. Only Jesus of Nazareth—the unique Superstar—could emerge through the doorway of Old Testament prophecy.Hank also answers the following questions:Can a pastor be divorced according to 1 Timothy 3:2? David - MO (3:31)Were there incestuous relations between Adam and Eve’s children? Annette - St. Louis, MO (5:58)What arguments would you give to prove that Jesus knew He was God?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (11/27/25), Hank encourages all who are listening in to enjoy their time on Thanksgiving Day with family and friends to the extent that they can. Thanksgiving is a day that Hank looks forward to every year. Yet Thanksgiving is not just a day; it is a daily manner of life. It is a key that opens the gate of Christ and allows Christians to enter and gain access to all His wonderful provisions and even more profoundly into all the splendor of His Being. “Open for me the gates of the righteous,” wrote the Psalmist, “and I will enter and give thanks to the Lord. I will give you thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.” In the Wisdom of Solomon, we read that “the hope of an unthankful man will melt like the wintry frost and flow away like useless water.” Thus, we are exhorted to arise each morning and thank our heavenly Father for the abundance of His mercies, for the blessing of the Lord will melt like ice—evaporate like worthless water—at the appearance of the first rays of sunshine.

If Paul never advocated "relationship", why do so many today make it their test for orthodoxy?
why do we need to count on deceased saints to pray 4 us when we have the earthy body of Christ here to pray?
Who cares? One of the best arguments against religion is seeing how many people are worried about dogma and doctrines from a time when people believed that the universe revolved around earth. They didn't know about germs, scientific knowledge or even what causes lightening. And yet millions of people take advice and seek wisdom from iron and bronze age cultures. Unbelievable!
