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: Does God hear and respond to the prayers of the unsaved? I know that believers have the privilege of prayer as children of God, but what about the lost?

Question: Today much is made of "prayer walking"...etc. Yet the Bible says "enter your closet to pray."

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

Question: Is lighting of candles in conjunction with prayer biblical?

Question: The Bible says, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Phil 2:13). Then why do I so often fail to do His will and to please Him? I more often please myself by doing my own will. Why?

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

Question: The NewsWatch article about Governor Perry's prayer meeting...in the August 2011 TBC reminded me of Luke 9:49-50, when Jesus said, "do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side." Shouldn't that give us all reason for joy?

Question: When the Scriptures talk about "self," what do they mean?

Question: Do you believe smoking to be a sin?
