Description: Greg talks about the problems with inclusivism, then he answers questions about why it would be wrong to ask a saint for prayer if they can hear us, whether drawing lots is an approved practice, self-identified Christians who don’t show fruit, and whether the meaning of “doubt” has changed.   Topics: Commentary: Inclusivism gives people false hope. (00:00) If people who have passed on can hear the living, then what would be wrong with the Catholic practice of asking a saint for prayer? (23:00) Does Acts 1:26 indicate that the drawing of lots is an approved, godly practice, or was Paul the true replacement, selected by Jesus himself? (29:00) How can we help people who say they trust in the Lord but never show any fruit? (36:00) Is “doubt” a word like “faith” that has changed its meaning? (47:00) Mentioned on the Show:  Submit a question on the Open Mic Line No Other Name—Part 1 and Part 2 by Greg Koukl
