Question: I was very upset by the answer from you about the reason you prefer the KJV.... I need you to please send me several examples of what you consider "serious" errors [in modern translations]. I would also be very appreciative of some reading material that the lay person can understand...or names of some sources.... Response: Thank you for your recent letter challenging me regarding my supp...

This is number 233 in our series of “Get Biblical Understanding.” In this session we’re reading many but certainly not all of the biblical verses that have to do with The Heart. The heart addressed in this series is not the physical organ within our body but rather the non-physical aspects that pervade humanity, which is at the center of our spiritual and mental life. Only God knows our heart and...

The message of this treasured epistle is just as clear and convicting today as it was to the early churches of Galatia: We are justified by grace through faith alone - not by works of the law. Join T. A. McMahon and radio guests (Greg Durel, Mike Gendron, and Jim McCarthy) as they discuss this powerful Pauline epistle and its relevance to your daily walk.

Question: What about the growing "spiritual warfare" teaching that by "binding" in the name of the Lord the "territorial spirit" controlling a city Christians can take over that city for God? Response: Such an idea has no biblical basis, either by precept or example. Yes, "the prince of the kingdom of Persia” prevented the angel Gabriel for three weeks from coming to Daniel (Dn 10:12-13). Daniel,...

Today and next week we’ll be discussing some of the beliefs of Seventh-day Adventism. My guest for our subject is Dale Ratzlaff. He’s a former SDA pastor trained in Seventh-day schools and seminary. He’s the author of four books addressing Adventist doctrines. He and his wife Carolyn left the SDA church over doctrines they believed undermined the biblical gospel and now are committed to communicat...

Question: How could God allow such cruelty to befall mankind, such as the ignorant millions in India suffering starvation, pain, disease, etc., and brainwashed into a false religion? Response: I sense the pain of your heart. There are some key words in your important question; the first is “allow.” This is not the world as God wants it to be or made it to be; it is the world that man has made in h...

Well, if you’ve been following our programs, you heard last week’s session where we’re dealing with the age of the earth - days of creation. Is the earth billions of years old, or only thousands of years old? And did God create the earth and its creatures in six days, meaning, you know, what we think of as 24-hour days, or in greater lengths of time? Our discussion…we’re having a great discussion...

Originally published June 1, 1993 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me.... And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon. —Exodus 20:24-26 ...[L]et us build us a city and a tower [of Babel], whose top...

Question: I disagree with what you have said concerning the rich young ruler. “The issue was not the young man’s salvation but rather service to Christ.” In fact, salvation is in view and not service, for this ruler asked, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Response: Yes, the young ruler did ask what he should do to inherit eternal life. But there was nothing he could do! Having already br...

Our topic for today and next week is the age of the earth and the days of creation. Is the earth billions of years old, or only thousands of years old? Did God create the earth and its creatures in six days—meaning days as we think of our 24-hour days—or days as understood as great lengths of time? Now here to discuss the subject with me is Jay Seegert, the cofounder of Creation Education Center a...

Question: How much power do Satan, his minions, and the Antichrist have? Can they heal? Response:That Satan has great power is unarguable, as Job chapters 1 and 2 demonstrate. He is, however, restricted in this power: “And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power [within a specific limit]; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence o...

Today we’re going to address the phenomenal influence of the Roman Catholic Church - the influence they’re having upon those who are not Catholics but call themselves evangelicals: non-Catholics who profess to be evangelicals. And my guest for that topic is Greg Durel. He is pastor of Heritage Bible Church of Gretna, Louisiana. Greg has a weekday radio ministry, which is devoted to educating Catho...
