Q&A: Mediums, Ancient Religions, and Romans 9

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (02/06/23), Hank answers the following questions: I have struggled throughout my life and have backslidden many times. How can I have assurance of salvation? Are these programs on TV about mediums and angels real? Are they getting their knowledge from the power of Satan? How do I answer atheists who say Christianity has borrowed everything from ancient religions? How do you harmonize John 3:16 and Romans chapter 9? The articles from the Christian Research Journal mentioned by Hank concerning the issue of Calvinism vs. Non-Calvinism are the following (available free at equip.org): "The Divine Sovereignty / Human Responsibility Debate” Parts 1 and 2 by James R.
