Is There An Origin of Satan?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "As I'm catching up on episodes this one seems like a perfect time to ask this question. I'd been watching a sermon series by a local pastor. He said there's not 1 passage that satan led a rebellion in Heaven before the earth was created. There is no origin of satan in the Bible. He references Rev 12:5-12. This sounds like the story I feel I grew up with, warring in the Heavens, satan defeated & banished, etc. But he says Revelation is a story of the future. Vs 5 shows this occurred after Jesus came to earth, not before the creation of the earth. This has upset me for days now. Is there an origin of satan, how was he in the garden to first temp Adam & Eve? Thank you for your consideration on this topic."

Is Living Alone a Sin?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Hi Dr. Betters, I have a question lately I have become very worried, as in Proverbs chapter 18 verse 1 it says The one who lives alone is self-indulgent, showing contempt for all who have sound judgment. I live alone Dr. Betters I don't have many friends family etc I work and have hobbies etc but I am a bit socially awkward, I find it difficult speaking interacting with people sometimes so I stay home often. So am I sinning according to this proverb have I understood this proverb correctly??? Thanks for all your work Dr. Betters”

Death Bed Confessions

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "My Husband and I never made it to our second wedding anniversary. Our marriage was troubled, I gave our relationship everything I had to give but something wasn't right. My husband became very angry and rarely wanted any part of Intimacy. I felt sad, hurt, and jealous, and he began to openly stare and lust after teenagers, I stayed the course but on 11-24-21 he died after a 2-month hospital stay, we didn't have much communication between us during this time. We both had covid and I wasn't allowed to visit until the morning he was vented. I was in complete shock several months after his death. He was always very secretive about his phone and laptop but after having the laptop password removed. I had a huge shock, porn, file after file of the most disgusting subjects I could ever imagine. I even found sex Videos of him and his ex-wife inviting others into their marriage. I feel so broken he seemed so sincere that he loved me and wanted our marriage to work. I guess my question is if he repented on his death bed will he still go to heaven? I'm certain he would have likely continued his secret life had he survived but doesn't God know the difference between repentance as opposed to fear? If you could please give me some solid biblical answers I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!"

Is God Calling Me To Preach?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "Thank you so much Dr. Betters for answering my question. I'm sure you are a busy man and I feel like you are directly talking to me like my grandfathers did before Christ brought them home. It has really brought some memories back to me. I have so many more questions to send to you in the future about scripture and personal experiences. If I may ask one more question, How do you know if God is calling you to preach? How do you know if you are getting called to ministry? If I may ask how did you know?"

Solomon Had 1000 Wives?

In this episode, Dr. Betters answers the question, "It's Shaun, thanks for the cool videos, My friends & I were debating the other week about marriage and commandments say thou shalt not commit adultery. NOW our debate was about Abraham / Isaac / Jacob they had more than one wife, also Solomon he had Shocking thousand wives, maybe you could shed some light on this for us because we said that in Abraham's time they had to repopulate the earth but I'm sure in Solomon's time the earth was already re-populated. We were just a bit confused. Could you maybe shed some light on this because the commandments say thou shalt not commit adultery? Thanks await your response."
