On today's Q&A we begin with considering if the REAL Mount Sinai is on the Arabian Peninsula instead of the Sinai Peninsula. Then, it's on to your questions in the live chat.
This week's questions:
0:00 Stream starting soon
4:49 Stream begins, discussion of trip to Petra in Jordan and Saudi Arabia!
8:34 The Mount Sinai location issue (Sinai Peninsula or Arabian Peninsula?)
Were you able to see the petroglyphs in the Mount Sinai area, those showing the worship of the golden calf?
Are "deliverance ministries" biblical? I have seen videos of people saying to pray to be delivered from evil spirits.

Can Christians today claim promises from the Old Testament like Jeremiah 29:11 which was to the Israelites during the Babylonian exile and other Old Testament promises?
I came across the term “Covenant of Works” in a Bible study recently. When I tried to research it, it seems to be discussed in Reformed literature a lot. What is this term? Is it a Biblical covenant?
Job shows that Satan has to get permission to interfere with Christians (Believers/Righteous) - does the same apply to non-believers? Also, in the tribulation period, will Satan be free to do what he wants, without consulting God?
Will the church pass through the great tribulation?
Did you see charred Mountaintop?
Is there any coordinated effort to look for Noah's ark? Or do you think it's good that we don't know where it is?
Do you mind speaking on the recent school tragedy, in terms of: could God have stopped it?
I'm worried my friends won't make it to Heaven - since it is God's will that 'none will perish,' am I guaranteed they will be saved in Jesus' name?
Since God is Triune / a Trinity, & we worship God the Father and God the Son, is it appropriate to worship the Holy Spirit directly also?
Why don't people raised from the dead (Lazarus, Thabita (Dorcas), etc), mention anything about the afterlife? (as in Near Death Experiences and visions)
LIGHTNING ROUND
Is there any biblical ground to give hope of righteousness to Christians that remarried while their previous spouses were still alive?
Why God doesn’t speak with humans in our time directly, like with Jeremiah in Old Testament?
Is the Holy Spirit a person in the same way we think that Jesus is a person? Similar to how others have stated in dreams that God is also perceived of as a person?
Why doesn’t Jesus just cast Satan to hell the first time? Why just blind him for the 1000 years?
Must one be baptized to be a follower of Jesus? What if you were only baptized as a child by sprinkling at Catholic Church?
What is your opinion as to the location of the ark of the covenant?
Can you help me understand the judgement that believers will endure?
