Questions and Responses

Question: In a dream, Paul Cain saw God put His Spirit upon President Clinton....The future headlines of five specific newspapers were allegedly given in the dream to validate it. Does that mean the prophecy is from God?

Question: Can you sometime soon address the content of the new Bill O’Reilly book entitled Killing Jesus? I was furious when he stated that the Bible was simply an allegory and that his book would shock and surprise us with what he found.

Question: John Avanzini claimed to “break the power of debt” for all those who pledged to support his ministry with $1 or more per day. How could anyone be gullible enough to believe he had such power...?

Question: I sent a copy of your recent TBC Update on Joel Osteen to a friend of mine on staff with Joel’s ministry asking if he had any thoughts in regard to the article.

Question: “What can you tell us about the upcoming “America for Jesus” rally taking place in Philadelphia Sept 28&29?

Question: Shouldn’t we thank the Lord for the gospel of the late Pope?

Question: If you desire the same salvation and grace that Paul preached about, it is necessary that you line up with William Branham's teachings.... Please respond.

Question: I read an article in the CRI magazine...about the Catholic Church. [The author] said some pretty harsh things about you. [Will you] enlighten [your] readers as to what you said that was wrong...?

Question: Your November issue has a misleading statement that needs to be publicly corrected: “In spite of Pentecostal and charismatic claims that no Christian need ever be sick....” I am an AOG pastor. Neither my denomination nor I believe that.

Question: The series of books about “Joshua” by Joseph Girzone has sold extremely well in Christian bookstores. What is your opinion—for example, of Joshua, the first one in the series?
