Contending for the Faith

Quotable

October 1, 2006

Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and...Read more

Questions and Responses

Question: I complained to Jack Van Impe that on TV he appears to embrace Catholicism....He says that when he heard hatred dripping from the lips of those who criticize Catholics, he decided just to preach the truth. What can I do?

Question: Is Paul a tare, planted by Lucifer (God’s perfect flaw) who blinded Saul on the road to Damascus, parading as Jesus to deceive Paul? I’m convinced Paul is a tare, and many will follow him instead of following Jesus.

Question: Where do you get the courage to expose what you believe are false teachings...?

Question: A frequent reaction to your book The Seduction of Christianity is that it causes division within the Body. What is your response to this criticism?

Question: [A publishing executive] told an audience to throw away your books as worthless, full of holes....[You spoke with him] and asked him...to provide you with documentation of any errors....Did he ever do so?

In Defense of the Faith

Question: ...I’ve been accused of being somewhat of a bully when I talk to others about God and His Word. How should I be when it comes to the truth of the Bible and trying to show others it isn’t “my opinion” or “my truth” that I’m trying to show?

Correction: We rely on your attention to detail (fact-checks) and integrity. The Strange Fire Conference article implied that Seduction, published in 1985, influenced/motivated Chuck Smith to write Charisma vs Charismania...but it was...published in 1983.

Question: Is it a worthwhile pursuit for a simple Christian with the Bible and a high school diploma even to try to stand against [an] educated atheist [like Richard Dawkins]?

Question: Did the authors follow Matthew 18 and go to the people mentioned in the book [The Seduction of Christianity] before they wrote it?
