Quotable

December 1, 1995

Many Christians have the misconception that to win the world to Christ we must first...make unconverted sinners feel comfortable with the Christian message.... Give them something they want.

Questions and Responses

Question: If unbelievers do not have the Holy Spirit, how do they get answers from God?

Question: Given the ecumenical thinking of many evangelicals today and the acceptance of Roman Catholics as Christians, how would you answer people who say you don't need to evangelize Catholics because they are as saved as we are?

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: John Avanzini claimed to “break the power of debt” for all those who pledged to support his ministry with $1 or more per day. How could anyone be gullible enough to believe he had such power...?

Question: Does TBC follow “Matthew 18” and first go to the authors and/or leaders it critiques in newsletters and books?

Question: In July you said Christians should not join non-Christians in pro-life activities because they would be "unequally yoked...." Wouldn't that preclude involvement with secular schools, Scouts, 4-H [and]any activity [with] the general public?

Question: In view of Romans 1:8, Col 1:6,23, Acts 17:6, it would appear that all the world has already heard the gospel...

In Defense of the Faith

Question: If Christ took upon Himself the grave and the Lake of Fire, then there is no need of repentance and trusting Him for our salvation. Wouldn’t both penalties be paid in full?

Question: Several scriptures lead me to believe that after we are in the New Jerusalem with our Lord, there is still evil elsewhere....Please explain.
