Questions and Responses

Question: Were Adam and Eve created perfect? If so, how could they sin? If they were created with a will that could choose to sin, how could they have been perfect?

Question: Could you explain what "suffer in the flesh" (1 Peter 4:1) means and whether it is part of God's chastisement?

Question: Why do Christians quote Leviticus condemning homosexuality, while they ignore the rest of the prohibitions?

Question: Do you believe smoking to be a sin?

Question: Is sin who you are or just how you behave; is weeping over one's sins an essential step to salvation, or does it just come later?

Question: Were killing, adultery, stealing, etc., not sinful prior to the Ten Commandments? God destroyed the earth with a flood because mankind was so wicked, or evil. Evil based on what?

Question: I’ve been listening to Bob George on the radio and am confused. He doesn’t believe in Christians confessing sin and claims that 1 John 1:9 (“if we confess our sins”) was not written to Christians but to the unsaved. Is that true?

Question: What is your opinion of “generational sins” as supported by Bill Gothard? This teaching is splitting our church. Can you help?

Question: We’re asking for counsel on the matter of biblical reproof.... What do you believe is the appropriate response and action to be taken when young believers are living in error?

Question [If] “the genes the mother and father contribute to the body have nothing to do with the spirit and soul...." Wouldn’t that mean, however, that God is responsible for creating a soul with a sin nature? Something is wrong here. Can you help me?
