We Should Address God the Way He Wants to Be Addressed

Greg talks about the Archbishop of York’s statement that referring to God as “Father” is problematic, then he answers questions about how to treat kids who claim to be other species, a possible contradiction in Exodus 9, and the existence of neutral supernatural beings.

2. Should we treat kids as if they’re the species they say they are in order to highlight the absurdity of their claims? (29:00)
3. If God killed all of the Egyptians’ livestock in Exodus 9:6, why did he warn the Egyptians to bring their livestock indoors to avoid the hail in 9:18–21? Is this a contradiction? (37:00)
4. Are there any neutral supernatural beings? (46:00)
