Questions & Answers

The “Questions & Answers” column in this issue is a humorous, but derisive, response to a reader who cancelled his subscription to the newsletter because he felt the materials were “cultic” in nature and “the writer featured in your newsletter is arrogant, rude, unloving, and totally contrary in attitude to the manner that Jesus approached the lost.” The response is a trenchant and definitive rebuttal of the various false charges Pretenders are likely to make. As is sarcastically pointed out by “the writer featured in your newsletter,” Jesus Himself appears to have been just as “arrogant, rude, and unloving” when He called the scribes and Pharisees a few choice names in Matthew 23:1–36.
