Questions and Responses

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

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: 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: I have heard of a number of churches that are giving copies of Rocky Fleming's The Prayer Cottage...

Question: A dear friend of mine, on fire for Jesus, is following John Crowder. I’m concerned about the wording of his ministry. His teachings are called “mystical school.” I just wonder if you know about him and what you think.

Question: In Wide Is the Gate…T. A. McMahon states: “in trying to solve the problems, fix the world, many Christians don’t realize that they’re actually going to be helping the Antichrist develop his kingdom.” My friends were disturbed by this statement.

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

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 always seem to use the KJV Bible. Why not use the modern translations that are so much easier to understand?

Question: Your "faultless" doctrines come ultimately from Jewish thinking.... Your eschatological errors didn't significantly exist in Christendom until Edward Irving, John Darby, the Plymouth Brethren, et al., came along with Jewish ideas.
