Questions and Responses

Question [composite of several]: I was disturbed and confused as to what your purpose is for advancing Mark Dinsmore's particular ideas on "Christian patriotism." What if our forefathers had taken this pacifist attitude when we arrived in the New World?

Question: Could you please address the views of some who believe that Christians shouldn't smuggle Bibles...

Question: John Hagee says we should not witness to the Jewish people; God will take care of them. Is this biblical?

Question: In the July Q&A, a reader asked about counseling an unbelieving sister about yoga....Trying to convince someone intellectually of the need of salvation is usually a losing argument, in my opinion.

Question: What is your advice and opinion regarding Christians being active in the anti-abortion movement, i.e., picketing, demonstrations, etc.? Or do you recommend a different approach to this issue?

Question: I know that soul winning is supposed to be a really important part of the Christian life, but can you explain further about what the Scriptures say on this subject?

Question: The papers have recently quoted several Christian leaders justifying from Scripture the murders of abortionists.... They claim that taking a life in order to save innocent lives is a biblical principle. What do you think?

Question: We are not called to social activism but to preach the gospel and convert sinners. That should have a major good effect on society—far more than social activism. The question is, what happened when there was far less social activism ...

Question: [I received a copy of a letter addressed to James Dobson, objecting to what I had to say in the July Berean Call concerning social and political action, and too lengthy to present here. The following response addresses the main points raised.]
