Questions Raised by the Acts & Epistles

As we rocket through our New Testament survey, important questions pop out of familiar passages:

1. When was The Church born; when did it begin?
2. What is a biblical definition of “The Church” (Greek Ekklesia)? What does the definition of Ekklesia have to do with the Rapture Question?
   
3. How did the first-century church keep the New Commandment (John 13.34) and pursue the Great Commission?
4. Should we strive to imitate the first-century church, or should we feel totally free to reshape the church into something more relevant to our generation?
5. What are the danger signs, if any, that a local congregation is losing the character of what can rightly be called a “Christian” church?
6. What is the Gospel?
7. What is sin, and what is implied about sin by the fact that infants die?
8. Does God still have a purpose for the nation of Israel in the Christian era?
9. Is the God of the New Testament really the same God as the God of the Old Testament?
10. Why did an all-powerful God allow evil to enter His universe (The Philosophical Problem of Evil)?
