Hank Hanegraaff

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank comments on an article in the Christian Research Journal titled, Will the Real Islam Please Stand Up?, which argues that ISIS is an authentic expression of Islam. A careful examination of Islam's most trusted sources shows that the actions of the Islamic State are exactly what we should expect from a group that strives for complete obedience to Allah's commands. Their aspiration is to create a caliphate across national borders including a land...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes Joe Dallas, Director of Genesis Counseling in Tustin, California to discuss his latest article in the Christian Research Journal titled, Hath God Said? Assessing the Church's "Change of Heart" about Homosexuality. Joe communicates how the cultural acceptance of homosexuality is a natural byproduct of the sexual revolution, and so the church, which used to be prejudiced against homosexuals, is now capitulating to the culture. There are...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on a discussion between Charles Krauthammer and Bill O'Reilly concerning the rights of embryos. In light of this and Planned Parenthood's fetal harvesting, Hank tells the story of a frozen embryo, Snowflake #94, who was adopted and is now a beautiful nine-year-old girl named Elise, who sat in the Bible Answer Man studios last night. It is so important for believers to understand that developing embryos are not merely a clump...

Q&A: Racism, Embryo Adoption, and the ShemitahOn today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions: What does the Bible teach about racism? What about the Samaritan woman that Jesus spoke with? What does the Bible say about interracial marriage? I am infertile. According to 1 Timothy 2:15, am I excluded from salvation? Is heaven a physical place? Is it okay for couples to adopt embryos? My pastor said she would marry same-sex couples; shouldn't I be able to question...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on the power of God's dynamic presence. If we take the doctrine of omnipresence literally and not figuratively, then God is everywhere all the time. And although His presence is with each moment of our lives, we can often resemble the proverbial fish out of water complaining of thirst. Imagining God's presence is one thing; actually sensing it is something else. Is it any wonder that the apostle Paul exhorted us to be...

Today's Bible Answer Man broadcast is a compilation of Hank's interviews with detective and author, J. Warner Wallace concerning his latest book, God's Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe. Once an atheist, Jim Wallace began investigating the claims of Christianity by using his deductive skills as a homicide detective and was remarkably changed from skeptic to believer. In God's Crime Scene, Wallace examines eight critical pieces of...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes homicide detective J. Warner Wallace to once more unpack his book, God's Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe. Detective Wallace reemphasizes the basic principles of deduction used by detectives to determine the cause of death at a crime scene by using multiple pieces of evidence to build an airtight case. Hank and Wallace focus on attributes for design such as irreducible complexity in...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on the difficulty he had last night watching graphic images of Planned Parenthood doctors brazenly talking about money while cameras zoomed into baby parts such as little hands, legs, and livers. This disturbing callousness is hard to believe and is indicative of a culture that has lost its conscious. The sacred relationship between mother and child has been recast as a woman's choice, and these marvelous human beings have...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank comments on news articles concerning the recent Boy Scouts of America decision to allow gay scout leaders, as well as the release of more videos showing employees of Planned Parenthood haggling over the sale of aborted fetal parts. All of this demonstrates the increasing importance for Christians to be equipped to know what they believe and why they believe it. Hank answers the following questions: Can someone reject the deity of Christ and still...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank interviews cold-case detective J. Warner Wallace regarding his latest book, God's Crime Scene. When looking at the universe, Hank and detective Wallace discuss the trap of making assumptions based on presuppositions without really digging into the evidence. God's Crime Scene offers several, real crime scene scenarios to give readers different skill sets they can apply to discovering the origin of the universe. Wallace encourages listeners to do...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes J. Warner Wallace once again to continue discussing his book God's Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe. Hank and detective Wallace talk about moral truth in light of Planned Parenthood's butchering of babies and how an atheistic worldview simply has no objective basis for morality. Further, detective Wallace raises the problem of the mind, which is particularly troubling to atheism and...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on a New York Times piece written by assistant professor of law at the University of Chicago, William Baude, who asks if polyamorous marriage should be next. In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, it would seem that the reasons given would apply to plural marriage as well. Sadly, just as the culture celebrates this decision, so too mainline denominations such as the PCUSA are also celebrating....

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions: I've watched Arnold Murray for years, but I can't seem to find a pretribulation rapture in the Bible. I had a dream I was riding a white horse and I saw a bright light, and then I saw myself nursing a baby boy. Is God speaking to me through this dream? Can you expound on what Christ meant when he said it is finished? What is your understanding of the word redeemed? Does the NIV remove verses from the Bible and...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank welcomes homicide detective and author, J. Warner Wallace to discuss his new book, God's Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe. Jim Wallace, a former atheist, relays his experience while on a surveillance case many years ago. Sitting in his police car, he began listening to the Bible Answer Man broadcast, which answered many of his objections and was instrumental in helping him eventually come to...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank answers the following questions: Would 1 Peter 3:18-20, prove that Jesus descended into hell? What is the difference between Hades and Hell? Why is profanity considered to be profane? Is it just the words or the intent of the heart? Since the Bible says God does not hear the prayers of sinners, how do we reconcile this with the idea that God hears the Sinner's Prayer? When did the calendar change from BC to AD; was this after Christ's death? How do...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank shares his thoughts on pastors who are jumping on the bandwagon of same-sex sexuality. One such pastor is Ryan Meeks of Eastlake Community Church in Seattle, WA, who says his church is an affirming, inclusive church and that he wouldn't go to a church where his gay friends were prohibited from taking Communion. Jesus, however, was hardly an inclusive Messiah. Jesus said the road is narrow and there are few who find it. He also said that the...

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank addresses the growing number of Christians who deny a historical Adam and Eve. Yet despite the supposed consensus, the apostle Paul on Mars Hill clearly affirms that God made all of mankind from one man, Adam. And Jesus, in his teaching on marriage in Matthew 19:4 refers to the creation account in Genesis chapter 2. Further, the book of Chronicles provides a historical record from Adam to the Exile. We can be sure Genesis is a historical narrative,...

What is intelligent design's answer to the fossil record? Is the last trumpet mentioned in 1 Corinthians 15, the...
