Welcome to the weekly live Q&A with Pastor David Guzik, author of the Enduring Word Bible commentary. After our lead question, Pastor David takes questions via the live chat - simply add your questions & our moderators will arrange & deliver them to Pastor David according to theme or subject!
This week, Pastor David's lead question comes from Sherry via email. She writes:
"Dear Brother David, I just want to tell you how incredibly thankful for this ministry! God is using you to help us with HIS Word! Enduring Word has become an integral part of my daily Bible Study through the commentary, podcasts, and videos! I am wondering if you have any information or opinion regarding the Hebrew Roots Ministry (or others like it). My son has married into a family that is steeped in it, and while I've done much research on it myself, I would rather like to hear what you have to say, and of course, what the scriptures say to back it up.
Why is it that some Christians turn to the Old Covenant and customs?
I do not believe this way, as I am not a Jew, but I know that there is freedom in Christ… could it be a false path, or even wrong for non-Jewish Christians to do these things? Or am I wrong to oppose it?

This week's questions:
0:00 Introduction and greeting
0:30 Lead question
14:39 I know we’re not under the old covenant also, but is there a reason we recognize the 10 commandments, yet skip the Sabbath?
19:04 How should we look at things that are called “an abomination” in the OT? It feels like some things are still seen as that (child sacrifice) but others not so much (ungodly sexual relationships). Do all those designations still apply?
21:30 Does God take away gifts of the Holy Spirit because of sin? Does the devil have authority to take away gifts of the Holy Spirit because of sin?
24:45 Hi Pastor Guzik, how do we reconcile Exodus 20:5 with Ezekiel 18: 20? What if someone hates the LORD then repents and believes in Him? Thank you for your ministry.
27:10 I’ve been attending a church where they would give the New Testament (only) Bible for those who decided to accept Jesus. Is that correct? Shouldn’t both Old and New have the same value as words of God?
30:16 How can we obey the commands yet at the same time not become legalistic/ end up trusting them as justification over the cross, or added to it, as you warned earlier?
33:00 As believers we might face the same opposition as Jesus in Mark 6:5-6, with unbelieving members in our families. How do you go about witnessing to them in a case like that? When is the right time to stop trying to win them to Christ & let God show them the truth?
36:36 What if, when I started following God and studying the word, yet now the relationship with my mother seems to be nothing but arguments, and I try to steer away from talking to her, but then I feel guilty?
39:20 Should we pray TO the Holy Spirit, or ask the Holy Spirit to come?
42:23 In light of the Old Testament’s references of people asking the Lord to crush their enemies, are we called to instead forgive them on this side of the New Testament?
46:30 Thank you so much for making Enduring Word available. What are your favorite Spurgeon Books/commentaries?
51:48 I was having a discussion on baptism with a friend of mine and I referenced Acts 8 v36-37. To our surprise, verse 37 was not in her version. (ESV) I did some research, but am curious about your thoughts on this? Some manuscripts include here Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” The eunuch answered, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
56:15 I am on the road all the time and drivers have gotten worse and make many mistakes. I often find myself calling them idiots for the maneuvers they make. Mathew 5:22 says not to call someone "Raca" (empty head or fool). Should I stop?
57:47 Some teach that the rapture or millennium has happened and it’s hidden from us. How should we handle that?
58:58 Do we need to confess white lies we tell, not only to God, but also to the persons we lied to? Is it compulsory, or can we just ask the Lord to forgive me?
1:00:50 Was Samuel from the Levitical line or was he merely a judge raised in the house of Eli, a Levite?
1:02:40 Thanks for all u do in ministry! What order do you suggest to teach the OT? We've done Genesis, now Exodus - Where should we go next? Should the books of LAW be taught in order?
1:04:04 What is the difference between religious Christians and spiritual Christians?
