Q&A: Biblical Contradiction, Free Will, and Passages Implying a Young Earth

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (08/10/23), Hank answers the following questions:

Can you explain Jesus’ words in Matthew 19:7-8, about giving a certificate of divorce? Does this mean that God didn’t really want to give this law to Moses? (1:53)
How did Judas die? There seems to be a contradiction between Matthew’s account and the book of Acts. (7:01)
How does God intervene in our lives if we have free will? How can God change circumstances through our prayers without violating someone’s free will? (15:19)
Do the passages in Scripture that describe God stretching out the heavens imply a young earth? (24:14)
