Questions and Responses

Question: A “repentance” by Benny Hinn of having taught error in the past and a “renunciation” thereof has been published in Charisma magazine and elsewhere. What do you make of it?

Question: I am struggling with the terms “surrender” and “submission.” We have all heard the saying that when we become Christians we surrender or submit to Christ. And to a certain extent this is true. I can’t even find the word “surrender” in the New Te

Question: In 2 Timothy 2:24-26 Paul talks about God granting people repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth....What is this talking about? Would you address this passage sometime?

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 [composite of a number of letters]: We are appalled at your lack of discernment on the issue of repentance....Please publicly renounce these errors; otherwise remove us immediately from your mailing list.

In Defense of the Faith

Question: We can see from Scripture that God removed His people from the land of Israel when they sinned, and He scattered them....Didn't the Jews always have to repent before they were allowed to return to Palestine?

Question: I enjoyed your little book, The Nonnegotiable Gospel—so I bought several of them to hand out....But when I went through your little book again...I couldn't find the word “repentance” mentioned anywhere!...Couldn’t you...make one small change...?

Question: Is there a significance in Revelation 2 and 3 for verses to speak of “an ear to hear” versus the plural “ears to hear”?
