Another Theological Thursday brings another Ask The President Day!
Dr. Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins today to tackle some of the commonly asked questions about the Bible. These questions range from why angels no longer rebel to the differing religious views.
Starting off, “Why do angels not fall from heaven anymore?” The reasoning behind angels not falling is implied in 2 Peter chapter 2. This draws the idea and implication that there was a “trial” period for the angels. This “trial” period was a time for angels to either choose to be with or against God. It is also thought that one-third of angels fell with Lucifer.
Another commonly asked question is “How should we approach the Catholic Church?” The debate in the Catholic Church is tradition vs. scripture and how both are perceived. The Catholic Church is all about tradition and how it’s been for the past hundreds of years. However, what’s missed is the scriptural backing of the traditions the Catholics follows. On many occasions, the Catholic Church contradicts itself with the traditions and ways about. At one point in time, there were even THREE Popes! A good book to look at is “Sic Et Non” (Yes and No). Sic Et Non focuses on the contradictions of the early Catholic Church.
