Best of BAM: The Bible as Parable and Not History, and Q&A

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank comments on statements made by Bill Maher that the entirety of the Bible was not meant to be read as history, but as parable. Hank also answers the following questions: Can you explain the meaning of 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 with respect to building upon the foundation of Christ and testing with fire? Alan - Oklahoma City, OK (7:12) Can you define praying in the Spirit? Duncan - High River, AB (8:50) Why wasn’t King David stoned for adultery? Kevin - Kansas City, KS (15:11) I struggle with depression. One part of the bible says that if I ask believing it will be given, but Paul prayed for the thorn to be removed, yet the thorn remained. How do I make sense of these different responses? Collin - NE (18:58) My son says he saw an angel at the age of three. How do I know if that’s true? Bill - MO (22:53)
