Contending for the Faith

Time and Eternity

January 1, 2014

First published in January 1996 Once again we have entered upon a new year welcomed with wild celebrations at midnight, December 31. Such festivities are questionable at best.

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: I knew it wouldn’t be long, once Dave was gone, that Berean Call would start sinking fast!...Before leaving Berean Call, I want to know how your predictable apostasy and blindness began. “OnePlace.com” is a one-religion stop for all.

Question: John Piper, in a discussion on creation, tries to draw a distinction between the creation of man, which was recent, and the universe, which could be much older....What do you think?

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: Please watch this videotape of Jack Van Impe and tell me what has gotten into him! He used to be sound in doctrine years ago, but now he praises the Pope as an evangelical Christian.... Why has he changed?

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: Has anyone written anything about the secular acquisitions [of Christian companies] and the impact this has on Christian publishing? Why would Christians allow this to happen in the first place?

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?
