1. In Numbers 12, both Aaron and Miriam oppose Moses, but only Miriam is punished and stricken with leprosy for 7 days. It seems like we are not given the full story. Can you explain why only Miriam is punished? - Ranae Welch (APP)

2. This will come late for Christmas, but my family and I were wondering why it seems Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus stayed in Bethlehem for so long. They were living in Nazareth and went to Bethlehem for the census. They didn't even have a place to stay in Bethlehem but based on the info given to king Herod by the Magi seem to stay there for up to 2 years. Why didn't they return to their home in Nazareth after the census? - Ryan Welch (APP)

3. Where did the number 39 for the 39 lashes Jesus received come from? - Thiago Castrillo (APP)

4. Why do we not fly an American Flag in the church? - Curtis

5. If the years the locusts have eaten will be restored (Joel I think 2?) I think it’s funny John the Baptist is specifically mentioned as someone who EATS locusts. Like do they use the same Bible language word, is the writer of the books the same etc. But now I wonder if the mentions are connected. - Kat (Instagram)

6. Good evening Pastor Adam , I was hoping you could help me with a question. The question is this , is it OK to say “The” Holy Spirit or only say Holy Spirit ? in the Bible? There’s a lot of references to “The” Holy Spirit. A friend of mine mentioned we should not say the in front of Holy Spirit. But the Bible says differently.  What do you think 🤔  - Joe Esparza 


7. My niece has been tormented by nightmares… what can I do beside just pray?? - Marie



8. You mentioned during the holidays that the only witnesses at Christ birth were the Sheppards and not the magi… how is that so? - Juan



9. Is the LA fires a sign from God towards hollywoods wickedness? - KC
