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

Question: In Jeremiah 31:9, Ephraim is called God's "firstborn," but in Joshua 17:1, Manasseh is the firstborn. Romans 8:29 calls Jesus the firstborn. How many "firstborns" of God are there?

Question: You have promoted books by A.W. Tozer, yet Tozer constantly quoted from Catholic mystics...

Question: Someone sent me a copy of a book by Chuck and Nancy Missler...

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: You said that Jesus had no blood in His resurrected body. But He has flesh and bones. The Bible says that the life of the flesh is in the blood, so how can He have flesh without blood?

Question: I was recently sent a book that rather shocked me. Its title is Have Heart: Bridging the Gulf Between Heaven and Earth. It seems to do what you objected to in Heaven Is For Real [in a previous TBC article]. What do you think?

Question: Do you have any information on Dr. Scott McQuate? I have never heard of him, but his book The Tribulation has been recommended. The advertising seems so bizarre I am a little afraid to buy it.

Question: Did God take away Pharaoh's free will when He "hardened Pharaoh's heart" (Exodus 10:1-2)? What verses point to free will in the Bible?
