To Whom It May Concern:

As an evangelical Christian, I am shocked that so few Christians are discerning. The clamoring by churches all across America for such a questionable movie [The Passion of the Christ] is disconcerting at best. I am puzzled at how Bible-believing pastors across this land could show such irresponsibility. Are we so thirsty for entertainment that we will take any form of it, regardless of the inconsistency and inaccuracy of such a venture?...I am thankful for ministries such as yours, and I stand with you as we contend for the faith.

TBC,

Being a Calvinist by conviction, I cannot wholeheartedly support all your work, but do feel you have a lot of good to say and so I pray for your ministry (in everything else—ha ha!). JH (SD)

Dear Mr. Hunt,

I ordered your book Debating Calvinism: Dave Hunt and James White….I commend you for permitting James White to state his position completely. [I] have a thorough Calvinistic background in instruction and church attendance….I have read deeply into Dabney, Warfield, Maachen, Kuyper, Baavink, etc. Their writings have been a blessing to me. Nevertheless, you do bring out salient points that Calvinists have not fully and honestly dealt with. First, the mean and vindictive spirit of John Calvin when he ruled Geneva with an iron hand….[In addition] the defense of decretal theology that makes God the author of sin, but not accountable for it, makes mincemeat of sensible discussion in the English language….JS (MI)

Dear Mr. Hunt,

Your book A Woman Rides the Beast was much help to me in 2002, when I was saved and making the decision to exit the Roman Catholic Church….Now I have the joy of the Lord. I know this book is controversial, but thanks for taking the risk in speaking the truth and warning Catholic people.  LQ (MI)

Dear Dave,

The Berean Callis for me a most enjoyable learning experience. I read it “from A to Z” (or, in biblical terminology, from Aleph to Tav). SE (CA)

Dear Dave Hunt,

Our thanks to you and Mr. McMahon for your very helpful letter, The Berean Call. It helps us know what to make of what we see in Christendom with its proliferation of errors and selfisms in this day and age….I remember thinking at one time that the Calvinists kept in balance—or even held in check—the easy-believism of the late 1900s. But the more we learned, the more we realized that their teaching violated the Word of God and especially His gospel….But how could a man with as much discernment as Dave Hunt share a platform with them? Thankfully, you were also realizing the enormity of their error. I don’t know how you read so much of their writings so quickly, assimilated it, got to the core of their teachings, saw things in perspective, and wrote a comprehensive book in such a short time. Surely the Lord gave you help….We are glad to see our Lord using your book to deliver people from [Calvinism’s] cult-like grip. CS (ME)

Dear Berean Call and Brother McMahon,

Your book Showtime for the Sheep? is an excellent book for all Christians to read….You opened [my eyes] in chapter 6, “Lost in the Translation?” I gave a copy of your book to a fellow Christian at work who bought the movie….He said, “Yes, but I am not worshiping the picture of Jesus that I see.” I told him that when he prayed, that picture would be in his mind. Later he came to me and said, “You’re right. It does come to my mind.” My brothers at Berean Call, please continue to teach the Word of God in truth. GR (VA)

Dear Mr. Hunt,

In briefly browsing your Berean Call Ministry website recently, I couldn’t help but notice your offer of The Passion Challenge in conjunction with the release of Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ on DVD. Is it any wonder that I suspect you of “crying sour grapes” because you did not make this film first? Out of curiosity, how often have you tried to force the College of Cardinals to declare you Pope so that you could further your own delusions of Godhood? Also, what color(s) is/are the sky/skies in that little world of yours?  A Concerned Catholic (CA)
