Q&A Sunday July 2017

Village Baptist Church

Pastor Emmanuel Akognon answers questions submitted by members in the monthly Question and Answer Sunday. 1. What is the Christian financial responsibility in lending and borrowing money? What if I owe somebody that I could not pay back? What if I have been forgiven my debt through legal route but I am now in a position to pay back, what should I do? 2. When prophets in the Old Testament heard from God, was it audible or mental? An example is how Moses heard from God. 3. Would you please explain what the reference to "angels" mean in I Corinthians 11:10? 4. Regarding I Peter 3:18-20, what do you believe Jesus was doing here? Do you think he went into hell to prove his victory to those who didn't take him seriously in Noah's time? Or, was he hopefully "preaching" and showing Himself to them because he was having mercy on them and giving them the opportunity to be saved? 5. Can a Christian having issues with depression be allowed to participate as a leader in the church? When does depression become a problem for a Christian?
