Tough Questions Christians Face: 2010 National Conference SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=IdeaDump www.ligonier.org Message 14, Questions & Answers #2: Drs. Michael Horton, Steven Lawson, Alistair Begg, and Albert Mohler answer attendee questions. Moderated by R.C. Sproul. Video Outline: If God can do anything why can't He lie? How do you reconcile John 3:16 with John 5:5-6? How can you discuss controversial issues of faith with a Christian family member? Does human responsibility replace irresistible grace? Do we need to be concerned about the differences between beliefs about the church and Israel and about believer's baptism vs. infant baptism? Would you consider theophostic prayer a form of gnosticism? If there is one Holy Spirit guiding believers, why are there denominations and so many varied interpretations? If God has ordained evil, how is He not the author of evil? Why don't Christians care that they are sinning? How can I, a Baptist, reconcile the message of reformers with their seemingly inconsistent doctrines on baptism and regeneration? According to Romans 9:14-18, God is not unjust in electing some to have mercy and some to harden. Nevertheless, some would say that He shows favoritism in some Scripture. After postmodernism, what is the next big intellectual challenge to the Christian faith? In reference to our justification, is there a reward for the elect according to their works? Christ has redeemed us to be a light that directs others to Him. Fulfilling this call requires us to be able to deal with the most difficult questions asked about the Christian faith. If we are unprepared for the darkness around us, it will be harder to counter it with the truth of God's Word. In this series of lectures from Ligonier Ministries' 2010 National Conference, Alistair Begg, Michael Horton, Steven J. Lawson, John MacArthur, Albert Mohler, Burk Parsons, R.C. Sproul, R.C. Sproul Jr., and Derek Thomas address some of the most difficult questions that we face as Christians and endeavor to offer biblical answers to assure us and to help us defend the truths of the Christian faith. This conference also features a special mini conference on Christian communication in a hypersocial world.
