Exploring our Faith
27/08/2019 Duración: 25minResponses to questions were offered by our pastor Mitchell Anderson. At 4:09 Our first question is: Why do we say that Christ died on the Cross for the expiation of sins? At 11:20, our second question is: How does Christ as “the one perfect sacrifice” relate to the other great religions who do not recognise him as their salvation? At 18:10 our third question is: Where did Jesus go after he rose from the dead? There were a few sightings after his crucifixion and then no further sightings. At 20:57 our fourth question is: Why do we allow a minister who does not believe in God or Jesus to remain an active approved minister? Does it matter what we say we believe in our United Church of Canada doctrine?
