On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/21/23), we pick up where we ended on our previous broadcast and present more of an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank is talking with Dr. Paul Gould, associate professor of philosophy at Palm Beach Atlantic University and author of A Good and True Story: Eleven Clues to Understanding Our Universe and Your Place in It. Hank and Paul discuss what best explains morality, the new phenomenon of nice nihilism, enchanted naturalism, counterfeit happiness and the nature of true happiness, the problem of evil and the existence of God, if the logical problem of evil been solved, if free will is essential to what it means to be human, and how God can’t do everything.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/20/23), we pick up where we ended on our previous broadcast and present more of an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank is talking with Dr. Paul Gould, associate professor of philosophy at Palm Beach Atlantic University and author of A Good and True Story: Eleven Clues to Understanding Our Universe and Your Place in It. Hank and Paul discuss if the immensity of the universe should inspire belief in God, the nature of life, how we know that life is valuable, how the Cambrian explosion uprooted Darwin’s Tree of Life, the current revolutions and shifts in evolutionary theory, if the modern world suffers from a nature deficit, if materialism can account for consciousness, and what best explains morality.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/19/23), we present an episode of the Hank Unplugged podcast. Hank’s guest is philosopher Paul Gould, author of A Good and True Story: Eleven Clues to Understanding Our Universe and Your Place in It. Hank and Paul discuss why Paul wrote A Good and True Story, if we live our lives according to a story, how evidence for God is everywhere but needs to be rightly interpreted, the non-religious stories that explain our existence: scientism, materialism, atheism, nihilism, and reductionism; the origins of the universe, and if the immensity of the universe should inspire belief in God.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/18/23), Hank concludes his overview of the days of Holy Week, arriving at Pascha—also known as Easter. It is the day in which the body of Christ worldwide celebrates the ultimate game-changer—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. “If I face hardships in life for merely human reasons,” wrote Paul in his first letter to the Corinthian Christians, “what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’ If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.” Without resurrection, Christianity crumbles. Thus, in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, the apostle Paul provides a four-part argument underscoring the irrevocable reality of Christ’s resurrection. Of one thing Hank has become certain—if twenty-first-century Christians would grasp the reality of resurrection like first-century Christians did, their lives would be totally transformed.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/17/23), Hank resumes his overview of the days of Holy Week, arriving at Holy Saturday, which was observed by the Eastern Church this past weekend. Holy Saturday marks one of the most enigmatic of all mysteries—the mystery of Christ’s descent into Hades. Being “put to death in the body,” says Peter, he was “made alive by the spirit through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it, only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also.” Peter here reminds us of two great and glorious truths. First, that we are saved through water, and second that the descent of Christ into Hades inaugurates resplendent triumph. A triumph by which Christ “tramples down death by death.” Hank also answers the following questions: When a person is baptized, do they become a new creation right away, or is it an ongoing process? What provision does the Bible make for young children or some adults who don’t have the mental capacity to accept Christ? I have a cross pendant that has discolored over time. I bought a replacement, but what should I do with the old one?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank interviews Dr. Paul Maier, former Russell H. Seibert Professor of Ancient History at Western Michigan University, about the DVD The Week that Changed the World. Hank and Dr. Maier discuss the significance of Holy Week, those who erroneously deny the fatal torment of Jesus, extra-biblical evidence for the life of Christ that corresponds to Scripture, and more questions and misinformation surrounding the most important week in all of history.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/14/23), Hank picks up his overview of the days of Holy Week, arriving at Holy Friday, the day a united Church is brought face-to-face with the fatal torment of Jesus Christ. A torment that began in the garden of Gethsemane following the emotional Last Supper of Holy Thursday. That night Jesus was betrayed by Judas, disowned by Peter, and arrested by the temple guard. Before Caiaphas the high priest, he was mocked, beaten, and spat upon. The next morning Jesus—battered, bruised, and bleeding—was stripped and subjected to the brutality of Roman flogging, reducing his body to quivering ribbons of bleeding flesh. As Christ slumped into the pool of his own blood, soldiers threw a scarlet robe across his shoulders, thrust a scepter into his hands, and pressed sharp thorns into his scalp. After they mocked him, they took the scepter and repeatedly struck him on the head. A heavy wooden beam was thrust upon his bleeding body and he was led away to a place called Golgotha. There, the Lord of Glory experienced ultimate physical torture in the form of the cross.Today as we remember the passion of Christ upon the cross, as we recall his dying words “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit” we are reminded that we too will breathe our last. Whether we are old or young, rich or poor, male or female, we light the sky for the briefest of moments. And then eternity. In the meantime, what we do today will have direct consequences for all eternity. Thus, while the culture seeks to focus your gaze on greatness, Christ rightly focuses your gaze on grace and godliness.

Hank resumes his overview of Holy Week with Holy Thursday, the epicenter of the divine narrative. A narrative that begins with the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. If Adam and Eve had rejected the serpent, they would have eaten from the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge would not have been withheld from them. Instead, they were exiled from the Edenic garden and from traversing the slope leading upward toward the peak of deification. Thankfully, the narrative does not end there. For in the panoply of history, a Second Adam clothed himself in fallen humanity. It was above all in his death on the cross and resurrection from the dead that Christ returned humanity to the life of Eden. This then is the great arc of the biblical narrative. From the Tree of Life in the Edenic Garden to the Tree of Life in the eternal garden. An arch that finds its apex with the Eucharistic bounty spilling forth from the trodden grapes of Golgotha’s hill. The Last Supper that we commemorate on Holy Thursday constitutes the central mystery of the Church. It is the source and zenith of Church life. By it, we are changed from human multiplicity to one body in Christ, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Within the Eucharistic assembly, divine life flows into us and penetrates the fabric of our humanity. The future life is infused into the present one and is blended with it, so that our fallen humanity may be transformed into the glorified humanity of the new Adam, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.Hank Hanegraaff, The Third Day: The Reality of the Resurrection: https://www.equip.org/product/cri-resource-third-day-flyer/

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/12/23), Hank continues to provide an overview of the days of Holy Week, picking up with Holy Wednesday, otherwise known as Spy Wednesday. For on the Wednesday of the last week of Christ’s earthly sojourn, Judas became a spy for the enemies of the Messiah. On this day, the ancient Church commemorates the ultimate in contrasts: a prostitute transformed into a pure bride in contrast to a chosen disciple who conspires with sinful men to betray the King of Truth.Hank also answers the following questions:I have a friend who is a member of Rodney Howard-Browne’s church. If he believes in the essentials, how does that make his ministry a cult and how can I explain that to my friend?What is your take on sola scriptura now as an Orthodox Christian and do you think it is biblical?I heard you say the other day that there was no rapture, am I incorrect or did you actually say that?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/11/23), Hank continues to highlight the days of Holy Week. On Holy Tuesday we commemorate the Parable of the Ten Virgins as found in Matthew chapter 25. In this parable—this extended simile with extraordinary sharp teeth—the coming of Christ is likened to the coming of the bridegroom to the home of his bride during the sacramental ritual of marriage. In the narrative of the parable, there are ten virgins—five wise and five foolish. The five wise virgins are illustrative of those who practice almsgiving and mercy. The five foolish represent those who selfishly squander God’s provisions upon themselves. In the end, the bridegroom arrives and the five who were prepared went in with him to the eternal wedding banquet. And then, says Jesus “the door was shut.” To the five foolish virgins who belatedly asked for the door to be opened the bridegroom replied, “I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.”Hank also answers the following question:My son struggles with knowing that he’s saved. He said that he’s prayed and prayed but doesn’t feel like he hears from God. What can I say to him?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/10/23), Hank focuses on Holy Week, with Christians in the Eastern Church celebrating Palm Sunday yesterday while Christians in the West celebrated Christ’s resurrection, concluding their Holy Week. Holy Week for Christians in the East begins the day before Palm Sunday. It’s the day christened by the ancient Church, Lazarus Saturday. It is on that day that we remember afresh that our Lord Jesus Christ raised Lazarus, a historical reality that points forward to the universal resurrection of all humanity. The next day, Palm Sunday marks the commemoration of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem announced the establishment of the Kingdom of God and a foretaste of the time that He will gather His perfected bride and carry her over the threshold of Jordan into the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. On Holy Monday, the fig tree is set before us as a reminder of the danger inherent in having an appearance of godliness but being devoid of its reality. A reminder to be vigilant and bear fruits of righteousness and repentance.Hank also answers the following questions:If you believe that salvation is “once saved, always saved,” would this mean your free will no longer exists?To me, the term replacement theology seems to be an accurate term as opposed to a misnomer, would you not say?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions:Are we as Christians supposed to prepare ourselves for persecution beforehand, or will we receive the grace we need in that moment?What can I do to minister to a friend who is involved with the Institute of Divine Metaphysical Research?What is your opinion of The Way International?Is it wrong for me to have a desire to serve God out of fear of judgment rather than out of love for Him?In talking to someone of the Jewish faith, I told them only Jesus could atone for sin. Was that correct?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/07/23), Hank reaches the conclusion of the four-part argument for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, transformation. What happened as a result of the resurrection is unprecedented. In the span of a few hundred years, a small band of insignificant believers succeeded in turning an entire empire upside down. The Twelve—minus Judas, plus Paul—were radically revolutionized. Peter, once afraid of being exposed as a follower of Christ, became a lion of the faith. Paul, the ceaseless persecutor, became the chief proselytizer of the Gentiles. Within weeks of the resurrection, not just a few, but an entire community of thousands of Jews, willingly transformed the spiritual and sociological traditions underscoring their national identity. Of one thing Hank has become certain—if twenty-first-century Christians would grasp the reality of resurrection like first-century Christians did, their lives would be totally transformed.Today, Great and Holy Friday, “he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5 NIV). As Theanthropos (God-Man), the spotless Lamb of God lived a perfectly sinless human life and died a sinner’s death to sufficiently atone once for all for the sins of humanity. Isaiah not only foreshadows the death of Christ but His resurrection as well. Isaiah prophetically looks forward toward the resurrection of “a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering” as the earnest of our resurrection on the last day. “After the suffering of his soul,” says Isaiah, “he will see the light of life and be satisfied.” In like fashion, our bodies will be resurrected from the dust of the ground. Jesus, who fulfills the entire mosaic of Old Testament resurrection prophecies left no doubt about this coming resurrection: “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned” (John 5:28-29 NIV). If Christ had not himself been resurrected, the promise that he will resurrect dry bones in scattered graves would be as empty as the tomb guaranteeing its fulfillment.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/06/23), Hank moves on to the third part of the four-part argument for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the appearances of Christ. In the Acts of the Apostles, Dr. Luke writes that Jesus gave the disciples “many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3 NIV). Likewise, the apostle Paul exudes confidence in the appearances of Christ (1 Corinthians 15). And like Paul, Peter in his powerful Pentecost proclamation confidently communicated that many credible eyewitnesses could confirm the fact of Christ’s physical post-resurrection appearances (Acts 2:29-32). One thing can be stated with ironclad certainty. The apostles did not merely propagate Christ’s teachings, they were absolutely positive that he had appeared to them in the flesh. Additionally, the apostles claimed that Christ appeared to hundreds of people who were still alive. It would have been one thing to attribute these supernatural experiences to people who had already died. It was quite another to attribute them to multitudes who were still alive and available for cross-examination.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/05/23), Hank continues the trek from Palm Sunday—when Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem precisely the way that Zechariah said he would—to Easter. Yesterday Hank began to talk about the four-part argument that Saint Paul gives in 1 Corinthians 15 which underscores the fact that Christ has, in fact, risen from the dead. Today Hank moves on to the second part of the argument, the empty tomb. As it is incontrovertible that Christ suffered fatal torment, so too, it is certain beyond reasonable doubt that Christ was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. Were it not true, Christianity would not have survived the tomb containing the remains of the Messiah. As the reliability of the resurrection is undermined in the media, it is crucial that Christians are prepared to demonstrate that Jesus was buried and that on Easter morning some two thousand years ago the tomb was indeed empty. Hank also addresses a question that comes up often on the Bible Answer Man broadcast, “was Jesus really in the grave for three days and three nights?”

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/04/23), Hank focuses on the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We spend so much time on Christmas and justifiably so because Jesus came in incarnation so that we could experience what it is to take on the divine nature—of course excluding identity of essence. But if there’s no resurrection, there is no hope for Christianity. So, over the next few days, Hank wants to emphasize the significance of resurrection.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/03/23), Hank discusses Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This is, of course, celebrated by Christians as Palm Sunday, which the Western Church observed yesterday, and the Eastern Church will celebrate this coming Sunday. On Palm Sunday, we celebrate Jesus riding into Jerusalem, not as a political messiah, but rather in humility and peace in fulfillment of Zechariah’s famed prophecy: “See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9 NIV). Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem announced the establishment of the Kingdom of God. It was a foretaste of the time that He will gather His perfected bride and carry her over the threshold of Jordan into a New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions:Is it theologically correct to sing worship songs that invite the Holy Spirit to come and make His presence known to us?I am struggling with performance-based acceptance in my relationship with the Lord. I don’t think I truly understand who I am in Christ. How can I show gratitude for what Jesus has done for me if I continue to sin?I have been hearing about a book claiming that Jesus was not God. I know that Jesus was the Son of God. Could you expound on this?Have you ever experienced a period in your life where you backslid? If so, what did you do to recover? How can I know my love for Jesus is real?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/29/23), Hank compares the tree of life in the Garden of Eden—which was barred because of sin—with the tree of life we see again in the book of Revelation.

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/17/23), Hank shares his thoughts on St. Patrick’s Day. Saint Patrick was born a Brit in the fifth century, but when he was 16 he was captured by Irish pirates and taken to Ireland as a slave. After escaping, he later returned as a missionary. Although all analogies for the Trinity ultimately break down, Saint Patrick supposedly explained this doctrine by using a shamrock. Tradition credits him as the founder of Christianity in Ireland and its first bishop. Certainly, many came to faith in Christ through his ministry.Hank also answers the following questions:Have you heard of the New Apostolic Reformation? Are IHOP and Bethel Church in Redding associated with it?Can you explain the doctrine of predestination?When we get to heaven will we remember this lifetime?Is Oneness Pentecostalism and its denial of the Trinity a heresy?Could you give me some insight into the teaching of Ray Hagin and this idea of Afrocentrism?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank discusses the country’s rapid moral decline and encourages believers to be salt and light in the world; not becoming microcosms of the culture, but rather change agents in the culture.Hank also answers the following questions:How can I witness to a homosexual co-worker in a way that is not offensive?Did Zoroastrianism predate and influence Judaism and Christianity?Since the Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, does that mean our souls will be with the Lord until we receive our glorified bodies?I directly defrauded some people and I’ve asked God to forgive me, but should I make restitution?

Do you have any insight?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/07/23), Hank unpacks the common misnomer that certain leaders within the church are God’s anointed, and therefore are above criticism. Hank shows that according to the New Testament, all believers are anointed by God and no one’s teaching is above scrutiny but must be tested in light of Scripture.Hank also answers the following questions:What exactly is Joel Osteen teaching that is so off base?How can I explain certain passages of Scripture to open theists, such as Genesis 22:12?In the Old Testament sacrificial system, how often did each person sacrifice animals?In contrast to the earthly blessings promised by prosperity teachers, can we not experience spiritual blessings because of the grace of God?

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/06/23), Hank shares his thoughts on the rapidly declining morality of our society which has become virtually ubiquitous. Using his acronym G.A.Y., Hank communicates in memorable fashion the biblical model of human sexuality and how we should relate to homosexuals.Hank also answers the following questions:Do believers go to heaven when they die, or will only God be in heaven and we will live on the new earth?What are the seven spirits of God described in the book of Revelation?Since the Lord commanded us to have no other gods before Him and doesn’t recognize any other god, why did God say He would destroy Baal?How could there be more animals on the ark than there were people on the Titanic?
