Questions and Responses

Question: Does the Bible allow for defending oneself or one's family?

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: Have you heard of John Piper’s philosophy of “Christian Hedonism”? It is becoming more and more popular (especially among Christian youth) and I believe it to be a very dangerous teaching. Is Piper’s philosophy biblical?

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: If a homosexual is not involved in those sinful homosexual acts but still considers himself a homosexual, will he/she go to heaven?

Question: There are many who advocate that a born-again believer in Christ can commit suicide and still be saved.... Is it possible for a saint to commit suicide?

Question: I continue to hear about the "joy of the Lord" as our strength in these challenging times...

Question: My father abused my siblings and me...for years....How do I honor this man...who has shown no evidence of repentance at all...and when I am no longer his child, by his own vow? How do I address him as “father” or “dad” ever again?

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?
