Questions and Responses

Question: Why does violence by Muslims increase during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan? It was during Ramadan 2006 that hundreds of Iraqi police were poisoned, obviously by Muslims.

Question: I know God's Word is infallible and inerrant, but I can't reconcile Jeremiah's statement that Jerusalem would be desolate for 70 years either with history or the Bible.

Question: Does Antichrist come out of the tribe of Dan? Would we know where the tribe of Dan is located today?

Question: "...I was extremely shocked by the obvious lack of scholarship in your figures regarding the African slave trade...."

Question: I’ve seen several reports that Pope John Paul II, as a salesman and chemist for I. G. Farben Chemical Company during World War II…"sold cyanide to the Nazis for use in Auschwitz"…. Is this true?

Question: I am enclosing some alarming literature from a very large and influential “evangelical” missionary agency....I was in shock because until they came out of the closet regarding [anti-]Zionism I supported them financially.

Question: What is your opinion of al-Qaeda's threats to Pope Benedict XVI for quoting a Byzantine emperor who claimed that the teachings of Muhammad were "evil and inhumane" and who objected to "spreading Islam by the sword"?

Question: All of us can make a mistake, but I have a real problem when someone takes the time to politely write to you and supply documentation pointing out a factual error in your materials, and yet you go on repeating the same errors.

Question: I disagree with your stance regarding Rome being identified with Catholicism. Vatican City is a separate entity from Rome. Rome itself is associated with Catholicism, as you state, but they are not married....

Question: [In April 2005] Jack Van Impe [stated on his TV program] that over 100,000 Protestants were put to death by other Protestants because they were immersed [baptized]....Have you ever read from history such a claim?
