Questions and Responses

Question: A “repentance” by Benny Hinn of having taught error in the past and a “renunciation” thereof has been published in Charisma magazine and elsewhere. What do you make of it?

Question: I am struggling with the terms “surrender” and “submission.” We have all heard the saying that when we become Christians we surrender or submit to Christ. And to a certain extent this is true. I can’t even find the word “surrender” in the New Te

Question: I am having a “debate” with a fellow believer who says that the idea of “love the sinner, but hate the sin” is an unbiblical concept. It seems that essentially we are to hate both the sin and the sinner. What do you think?

Question: If Christ paid the debt in full, then there's no need for us to repent
