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: 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: I’ve spent countless hours talking to those who support biblical movies, and no matter what concerns I raise...the final word on their part is, “I hear what you’re saying, but I still feel that God can use such movies to win people to Jesus...”

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.

Question: Some Seventh day Adventist friends have what they call “The Clear Word Bible.” Something doesn’t sound quite right, and it looks like verses have been changed to support their teachings.

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