Questions and Responses

Question: I must press you to tell me, how the blood of Jesus is not “God blood.” If He is fully God and fully man, then how could the blood generated by such a union be limited to only one half of it?

Question: Why is the Bible silent about mental illness except for speaking of demon-possessed persons? Could you address this subject?

Question: My daughter, who is a committed Christian, is a high school junior who would like to attend a Christian university and major in counseling....Could you recommend a good school for her?

Question: You say...we esteem ourselves too much. Yet Jesus Christ said, "Love your neighbor as yourself"...and many preachers teach [the need for] self-esteem and self-love. Who are you to disagree?

Question: You confuse me. You seem to be very much opposed to psychology yet you quote some psychologists favorably and seem to rely upon the research that psychologists supply.

Question: Are the techniques used on people in psychotherapy reliable?

Question: What do you think about the teaching that we all hate ourselves and have to learn to love ourselves?

Question: I’ve heard it said that 2 Peter 3:10-12 gives proof that the Bible is scientifically infallible, contrary to what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. All I want to know is how those verses give that proof.

Question: The enclosed article...blatantly states that the Bible “alone is insufficient” and elevates what it calls “natural revelation” to the level of Scripture....Could you comment?
