Greg answers questions about pastors asking the Holy Spirit to come down, the treatment of slaves in Israel versus in other cultures, whether there should be women pastors, and how Christians can claim they have a relationship with Jesus if they’ve never seen him. Topics:

What are your thoughts on pastors saying, “Holy Spirit, come down and move through your people”? (04:00)
Do you know who made the point that we should compare the way the Israelites treated their slaves to the way other cultures treated theirs in order to understand the protections God was giving them? (26:00)
Should there be women pastors? (41:00)
Jesus hasn’t been seen in 2,000 years, so how could you, as a Christian, have a relationship with him since you’ve never met the man? (51:00)
