## Resource

On today’s Bible Answer Man broadcast (06/29/26), Hank responds to a question he received: “How would you justify the doctrine of the Energy/Essence distinction?” Hank also answers the following questions: Since God is omniscient, how can He say in Genesis 18:20-21 that He will go to Sodom to see if the things reported to be occurring there are in fact true? Sally - Calgary, AB (15:11) Is there a technology that implants messages directly in the minds of specific people? Could it be used to imitate a word from the Lord? Loni - Port Angeles, WA (18:32)
