Questions and Responses

Question: Can you sometime soon address the content of the new Bill O’Reilly book entitled Killing Jesus? I was furious when he stated that the Bible was simply an allegory and that his book would shock and surprise us with what he found.

Question: Shouldn’t we thank the Lord for the gospel of the late Pope?

Question: If you desire the same salvation and grace that Paul preached about, it is necessary that you line up with William Branham's teachings.... Please respond.

Question: I read an article in the CRI magazine...about the Catholic Church. [The author] said some pretty harsh things about you. [Will you] enlighten [your] readers as to what you said that was wrong...?

Question: The series of books about “Joshua” by Joseph Girzone has sold extremely well in Christian bookstores. What is your opinion—for example, of Joshua, the first one in the series?

A Response about "The Chosen"

Question: I am a full-blood Indian and I was saved and delivered from all these false beliefs that these men [in the Fall 1997 Native Reflections newsletter] are now advocating. Could you respond to this in your newsletter?

Question: How can you say that “hundreds of millions live and die in the Roman Catholic Church without ever hearing the gospel”?

Question: I just went to see Paul, Apostle of Christ, and I thought it was the best biblical movie I’ve seen so far...
