Dear Berean Call,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your clear response in the August 2018 Q&A section where you explained John:15:16: “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” I have always struggled with that verse in trying to explain my non-calvinist view, and now I have a better explanation of that verse, not to win an argument, but to win a soul. May God continue to richly bless you, your staff, and ministry as you abide in Christ. SB (CA)

Berean,

Keep up the good work! As a local pastor in another city, I stand with you! We are in a battle for the mind of the evangelical church, stay strong! MP JB (email)

Dear Berean Call,

Thank you so much for these free downloads [at www.thebereancall.com/collections/all-ebooks]. I am sure we will not meet face to face in this life. However, one day you will understand how much it meant for many people. Again, thank you very much, and may God bless you all! Please remember us here in South Africa in your prayers. Yours thankfully. AT (email)

Dear Mr. McMahon [excerpts],

[Concerning your article on Fundmentalism (08/18), you wrote], “Cain did his own thing, offering his veggies rather than what God had instructed,” just like you offer Mark:16:20 to all of us in lieu of Scripture [that] we know is remembered at the great commission: Matthew:28:19-20 and Mark:16:15-16. You and I have duked it out before, and we’ll always be at odds as long as you adamantly insist upon throwing “baptizing” and “baptized” under the bus [see verses above]. TK (IN)

Dear TBC,

I was also deceived by the Roman Catholic Church when I was young. I was also an altar boy.... I thank God that Jesus Christ opened my eyes. I can acknowledge that the Roman Catholic Church has money and power to “destroy, to tear down kingdoms, and set up kingdoms to deceive many....” Even so, “come Lord Jesus Christ.” JM (prisoner, PA)

Dear TBC,

Thank you so very much for your encouraging words. It’s terribly sad, the state of “Christian” colleges. We have read the list of ones to be aware of, I believe either in the Berean Call or Lighthouse Trails. We have, I think, watched every single Dave Hunt video, along with T. A’s and listened to them together on the radio program they used to do, Search the Scriptures Daily, along with reading many of Dave Hunt’s books. 

My Mom and I first read The Seduction of Christianity and then Beyond Seduction in 1986 and 1987. I was saved in 1984, so I knew the Lord was leading from the start in teaching me discernment through His Word and biblical teachers. Thank you for all you do. LG (email)

Dear Friends at TBC,

I have just read your latest Berean Call and find it so interesting about the Law. The Seventh-day people have a very strong presence on Shine TV [NZ]—they seem to know the Bible so well and are very convincing. I am just thankful for the teaching we have had over the years...and we often sing: “Free from the Law, O happy condition! Jesus has died, and there is remission. Cursed by the Law and bruised by the Fall, Grace has redeemed us once and for all!” So pleased we are in the day of Grace! KH (NZ)
