I would say the description given how of they prepped for this service, coupled with having the knowledge and ability to answer these questions "off the cuff" was indeed being prepared for the service. Don't you think?

It is letting the spirit lead. Did you know that God sees the parts that others see as not being honorable not being comely as being honorable worthy of honor? Who Knew? Religions never taught people that. 1 Corinthians 12: 23And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. The parts that are seen by people as being uncomely not having have any honor are seen by God as being comely worthy of honor. 1 Corinthians 2:8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. - King James Bible "Authorized Version", Cambridge Edition. Had Religious people seen that Jesus was who he said he was he would not have been pierced.

On the contrary. Jon showed an exponential amount of preparation. "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect" 1 Peter 3:15

This was not a lack of preparation. It takes years of study in the Word to be prepared to answer questions in a live format. I wouldn't do this more than once a year however; the pastor's job is to equip not just quip.

I agree with Jeff and Paul. I don't know how anyone could pull something like this off in a way that really connects with people without a massive amount of preparation--much more preparation, in fact, than it would take to prepare a typical sermon.

The devil in the body digests the hamburger. Dispensation: Permission to do something out of the ordinary. Any When Jesus made new wine it was grape juice. When Jesus is in you he becomes flesh and blood in you because we are flesh and blood. Christ is doing something out of the ordinary.

That may be ok for bible study every now and than, but we should just Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. 2 ti 2:4

I find it strange that modern church bylines always promote themselves as being "a church for people who don't like church" when they are built on transfer growth (all that glitters is not gold). it's bad enough that the world and the devil are out there slamming the church, it's kind of disgusting when "the modern" church piles on with them.
