Questions and Responses

Question: Does the Bible allow for defending oneself or one's family?

Question: Have you heard of John Piper’s philosophy of “Christian Hedonism”? It is becoming more and more popular (especially among Christian youth) and I believe it to be a very dangerous teaching. Is Piper’s philosophy biblical?

Question: If a homosexual is not involved in those sinful homosexual acts but still considers himself a homosexual, will he/she go to heaven?

Question: There are many who advocate that a born-again believer in Christ can commit suicide and still be saved.... Is it possible for a saint to commit suicide?

Question: I continue to hear about the "joy of the Lord" as our strength in these challenging times...

Question: My father abused my siblings and me...for years....How do I honor this man...who has shown no evidence of repentance at all...and when I am no longer his child, by his own vow? How do I address him as “father” or “dad” ever again?

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: To the best of my understanding, the Roman Catholic Church does emphatically teach and confess [that “Jesus Christ is come in the flesh”]....It cannot be considered completely apostate.

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?
