In this episode, Dr. Jakway and Pastor Leo answer the question: There is something very bizarre in Mark chapter 5. Jesus used demons to destroy a herd of pigs, which ran into the sea and drowned. How can you defend that act of cruelty to animals? Why did Jesus do that?
In this episode, Dr. Jakway and Pastor Leo answer the question: Why did Jesus heal the blind man by putting mud on his eyes, and making him wash in the Pool of Siloam? He could have healed him without the mud, so wasn’t Jesus being unkind to make a blind man find his way to the pool?
