This week, Pastor David's Q&A begins with a question from @deckedrunners who asks:
​​In the parable of the 10 virgins , the wise ones ask the foolish ones to go buy oil from those who sell oil. If Jesus is the one from whom we buy “oil”, who do they think they can buy oil from ?

Questions:
0:00 Greeting & introductions
0:12 Lead Question: What Does The Parable of the 10 Virgins Mean?
11:49 In the parable of the ten virgins, Jesus says, “I never knew you.” How will we know that we are truly known by Him?
14:20 Regarding Matthew 25, I understand that it speaks of Israel during the Tribulation, but my ESV Study Bible does not give that explanation. Can the passage be interpreted differently, and who are the ten virgins?
15:51 What does Jesus mean when He says, “Whoever denies Me before men, I also will deny before My Father”? Can a true believer deny Christ out of fear of death or persecution in order to protect himself or his family?
18:00 Should we still be ready and prepared for the Tribulation even if we believe we will not go through it? Is it okay to prefer not to experience it?
21:31 Is it possible to be a Christian without being constantly ready for Jesus’ coming? What does it mean to be ready if I do not constantly think about His second coming?
26:00 If turning the other cheek refers to an insult, what does Jesus mean by giving your cloak to someone who sues you for your tunic?
30:22 Is it okay to talk with God in casual conversation, as long as it is done respectfully?
31:10 How can we explain that God does not change, yet Jesus became flesh?
33:03 Why do some people say that God “laid something on their heart” or that the Holy Spirit “led them” to do something?
39:33 Are Paul’s teachings as authoritative as Jesus’ words, even when Paul gives his own judgment or addresses things that seem cultural, such as marriage and hair?
42:30 What do you do if you have no “covering” because you are unmarried, your family is distant, and you have no transportation to get to church?
45:22 Did Peter deny God’s work when he began telling Gentiles that they needed to follow Jewish traditions, presumably for salvation, in Galatians?
46:33 Is there a difference between belief and faith?
47:03 If Jesus retains His glorified human body for eternity, will He also retain the scars of His crucifixion and other marks from His suffering?
Lightning Round
49:33 What is your analysis of Anglicanism as a biblical Christian denomination?
51:15 What are your thoughts on the Church of Sweden performing same-sex marriages and blessing homosexuality? Should Christians attend a church that does this?
52:08 Does the gift or baptism of the Holy Spirit mean that praying in tongues is God’s secret prayer language?
52:45 Does praying in the Spirit mean praying or speaking in tongues? If I do not speak in tongues, does that mean I do not have the Holy Spirit?
55:38 Will the 144,000 live through the Tribulation?
55:48 Our church gave us a form to fill out when we were baptized, including a question about our occupation. Is that normal, or was it inappropriate?
57:01 Is a large-print edition of the Enduring Word Study Bible in the works?
57:51 What are your thoughts on the Messiah 2030 series?
58:01 When we go to heaven, will we eat and drink?
58:11 Can a single pastor shepherd several branch churches without following a plurality of elders? Is that biblical?
59:10 Can I write a letter to my 80-year-old mother’s church asking why they installed a gay pastor and his husband?
59:25 I finished reading Ecclesiastes, and I honestly do not understand much of it. It seems to say that whether we do good or not, everything is meaningless. If all is vanity, how should we understand the book, and how should we live?
