Hank Hanegraaff

Today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast includes the following topics: Hank’s Prologue: Hank comments on the amazing contentment Paul describes in Philippians chapter 4, and the generosity of the church at Philippi whose gifts were a fragrant offering to the Lord. This wonderful example of giving shows the biblical model is not giving to get, […]

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes author and professor emeritus of history at the University of California, Jeffrey Burton Russell, to discuss his article in the Christian Research Journal titled Antitheist Faith and History. Professor Russell talks about the false dichotomy between faith and science, the absurd yet widely held beliefs and arguments of antitheists, as well as misinformation about the Crusades, and those who compare them to the brutality of ISIS. Hank and...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers questions on the following topics: Does the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 teach the doctrine of Purgatory? Is this passage to be taken literally? Is this a primary or secondary issue? I'm a member of a PCUSA church, but I'm unhappy with the changes being made within this denomination; what should I do? When Jesus speaks of the Abomination of Desolation in Matthew chapter 24, He tells His hearers they will see it, but didn't...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank delineates his acronym C.U.L.T.S. as outlined in the Christian Research Journal. The C stands for Counterfeit, the U stands for Unbiblical Revelations, he L stands for Linguistic Subversion, the T stands for Theological Perversion, and the S stands for Sociological Deviance. Hank shares the reason he uses acronyms like this is to take the complex and make it simple and transferable. Hank answers questions on the following topics: Will there be...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes Joe Dallas, author and Program Director of Genesis Counseling to continue discussing his articles in a special edition of the Christian Research Journal devoted to homosexuality and transgenderism.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes Dr. Paul Copan to discuss a new book he coauthored with Matthew Flannagan titled, Did God Really Command Genocide: Coming to Terms with the Justice of God. Dr. Copan dispels the perceived similarities between Islamic Jihad and God's commands to destroy the Canaanites, as well as the fallacious distinction in God's character from the Old to the New Testament, and the justified use of force in light of Jesus' charge to turn the other cheek....

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on Vanity Fair's cover story regarding Bruce Jenner's transgender surgery. What would have been unthinkable a few decades ago is now praised as brave and courageous. And while the acceptance of transgenderism today is breathtaking, Hank asks whether Jenner is really brave or just delusional. There is a road back from this abyss; it is the narrow road, and we must call others to follow it. Hank answers questions on the following...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers questions on the following topics: Must we tithe ten percent or give freely? Can someone reject Jesus' divinity and still be saved? Why did God stop giving us inspired writings? What is a prophet, and how is that office expressed today? I have been studying the Bible and I've encountered passages about predestination, which have caused me a lot of distress. If fatalistic determinism is true, then why should I pray for people to be saved?

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes John Stonestreet, Executive Director of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview and coauthor with Sean McDowell of a book titled Same-Sex Marriage: A Thoughtful Approach to God's Design for Marriage. Hank and John discuss the historic, universally recognized institution of marriage, the redefinition of marriage, the fruit of the sexual revolution, the effects of no fault divorce, and the church's role in discipling congregants on...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on a USA Today article concerning The Monastery of St. Matthew, one of the oldest Christian structures in Iraq. Due to its proximity to the Islamic State, the monastery is now at risk. In light of this, Hank asks where this leaves us here in America. Here we stand in the shadow of the Bible, benefitting from its blessings, but unaware that we have been influenced by it. Christians therefore, must be change agents in the culture...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes Joe Dallas, author and Program Director of Genesis Counseling to continue discussing his articles in a special edition of the Christian Research Journal devoted to homosexuality and transgenderism. Hank and Joe talk about the reason CRI is spending so much time on this topic; the Boy Scouts of America, and the distinction between those who struggle with homosexual desire and those who promote the normalization of homosexuality, as well as...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on the recent decision in Ireland approving same-sex marriage by popular referendum, despite the high percentage of Roman Catholics. Even in the church today many are saying those who affirm traditional marriage are on the wrong side of the issue. Hank, however, exhorts listeners to stand firm and not give in to political correctness. Hank answers questions on the following topics: Are we still supposed to kill people who do not...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers questions on the following topics: Is it wrong for a Christian to own a gun for protection? Can you clarify what Jesus means in Matthew 10:23? I own a business but I don't take a paycheck; how should I go about tithing in this situation? Can you explain Matthew 27:46, and Psalm 22:1, when Jesus said that God had forsaken him? Is it right to say that God the Father was separated from the Son on the cross? I heard Doug Batchelor say the lake...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on comments made by Joe Dallas with respect to same-sex sexuality. Even with a casual look at our landscape, the question we should be asking is not how can we stop this, but how we can be ambassadors for Christ in the midst of a declining culture? We can preach the right things in all the wrong ways, so we must learn to be salt and light in the culture and speak with gentleness and respect. Hank answers questions on the...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank addresses the LGBT movement's push for a radical redefinition of marriage and gender. As a sober reminder, he reminds listeners that Christians were, for the most part, silent on the issue of abortion years ago and today we are largely silent about the LGBT agenda because the moment one speaks out, they are in danger of losing their platform. Setting aside the desire for personal acceptance, Hank encourages listeners to speak the truth boldly on...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers questions on the following topics: I watched a PBS Special that claimed quantum mechanics and the multiverse disproves a theistic worldview. What did the church believe about the Tribulation prior to John Nelson Darby? In Sunday school we were talking about spiritual gifts and I affirmed that women could preach the word, but they disagreed with me; am I correct? A Jehovah's Witness told me that when we die our souls will sleep, but I...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers questions on the following topics: Does the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13 correlate with Matthew 24? My pastor said the Revelation John received was not a prophetic vision, but that he actually died and went to heaven. Is this correct? How should I go about explaining his error? What is your take on John 21:19-20? With the rise of the LGBTQ movement and same-sex marriage, wouldn't bi-sexual marriage be next on the list? Could...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on the importance of reading and the general lack of reading in our culture. Reading is a life practice that can renew and transform our minds. Not only is reading the Bible important, but Hank encourages listeners to read other books like the Classics as well as theological books by those who have learned to think God's thoughts after Him. Hank answers questions on the following topics: Is it possible to be a non-practicing...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank addresses transsexualism as the new frontier Christians will face. In light of the increased acceptance of transsexualism and the intense pressure upon those who object to it, Hank urges listeners to be prepared with a biblical response to the arguments. Despite the movement's claim that transgenderism is inborn, this does not necessarily mean it is ordained by God. And since God designs our inward parts, one's assigned sex reflects His intent....
