Question: An article in the L.A. Times reported that the May 15, 2008, California Supreme Court's overruling of the ban on same-sex marriages was greeted with joy by the homosexual community [and] many religious leaders. Dave, what's your reaction? TBC Staff text Jul 2008

Question: Will you please tell me how "you alone" were given the authority to interpret Scripture "without error"? Why aren't you brave enough to admit that you believe you are infallible, since you act just like the pope? At least he is not a hypocrite. TBC Staff text Oct 2008
Question: In June 2008...you made the statement, "Everyone knows that to spank teenagers would not bring correction but anger and resentment." If [spanking] has no moral or spiritual benefit, why would the Proverbs so avidly promote the use of the rod? TBC Staff text Oct 2008

Question: I watched one of your videos recently where you were praising the Jews. Do you realize that these Antichrists hate the Christian faith? Why do you and other evangelists support these enemies of our faith? TBC Staff text Oct 2008
Question: [In]The Left Behind series, every prophecy teacher that addresses Antichrist says that Antichrist will rise from the dead.... Why was the world terrified when the two witnesses rose from the dead? TBC Staff text Oct 2008
