Questions and Responses

Question: I don’t understand why Bill Johnson and Bethel Church in Redding are not classified as a cult....They are false teachers and wolves in sheep’s clothing. What do you think?

Question: Are you familiar with Randy Frazee [co-editor Max Lucado] and his book called The Story? Our church is promoting it for small group study and I have a few concerns. Would appreciate any information you may have.

Question: Have you ever heard the phrase "the many-breasted god"?

Question: 2 Timothy 3:16-17, when Paul says "All Scripture is God-breathed," is he referring to his own writings and the remainder of the New Testament? What evidence do we have that these should be considered Scripture as the Old Testament is?

Question: Can you please explain the difference between a sect and a cult?

Question: I complained to Jack Van Impe that on TV he appears to embrace Catholicism....He says that when he heard hatred dripping from the lips of those who criticize Catholics, he decided just to preach the truth. What can I do?

Question: Why do you Protestants fail to see that without the tradition...of an authoritative Church, you wouldn't know what was Scripture?

Question: You have exposed several modern translations that are corruptions of the Word of God. Is The Berean Call KJV-only?

Question: Is Paul a tare, planted by Lucifer (God’s perfect flaw) who blinded Saul on the road to Damascus, parading as Jesus to deceive Paul? I’m convinced Paul is a tare, and many will follow him instead of following Jesus.

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