Questions Answered

Here you’ll find responses to numerous questions R.C Sproul has been asked over the years.
Popular 
  • Has original sin changed the essence of our original created humanity?

    No. If it did change the essence of our created humanity, then it would be improper to call ourselves human anymore. There are vast differences of opinion among denominations and religious groups and theologians as to the extent of damage …Read More

  • What is the biblical basis for human dignity?

    As a Christian I do not believe that human beings have intrinsic dignity. I am totally committed to the idea that human beings have dignity, but the question is, Is it intrinsic or extrinsic? Dignity, by biblical definition, is tied …Read More

  • How are we to keep the Sabbath in today’s society?

    Within the Christian church there are three leading options for answering your question. Some Christians believe that the Sabbath was an Old Testament ordinance and has no application to the New Testament church. No less a giant than Saint Augustine …Read More

  • Please define a miracle and state whether or not you think God still performs them today.

    There is a tremendous difference between the popular definition of a miracle in our culture and the narrow technical definition of a miracle that theologians work with in their science. We can often have serious communication problems when people ask …Read More

  • What about debt? Should Christians use credit cards, borrow money for cars, homes, vacations, etc.?

    There’s a great controversy within the Christian church about that question. Some people take the position that under no circumstances should a Christian encumber himself in financial indebtedness, quoting such passages as “Owe no one anything except to love one …Read More

  • How do you explain discrepancies in the Scriptures — such as those between the four Gospels — in light of scriptural inerrancy?

    Much of the debate on the integrity of the Scriptures focuses specifically on those problems. When you have parallel accounts of something, you expect them to be consistent, particularly if you’re maintaining that these accounts are inspired by God the …Read More

  • Is it possible for a Christian to lose his salvation because of sins he commits?

    The question of losing one’s salvation is one that is a matter of great controversy within the household of Christian faith. There are many Christians who live in mortal fear every day of losing what they have found in Christ …Read More

  • Why in the Old Testament does God demand so much violence and war of the Jewish nation?

    One of the most difficult episodes for us to handle as people who live on this side of the New Testament are the Old Testament records of what is called the herem. This is where God calls Israel to embark …Read More

  • Are there any biblical grounds for divorce, and if so, what are they?

    A lot of the debate over divorce has to do with the way we interpret and handle Jesus’ teaching on the subject. In Matthew’s Gospel, for example, the Pharisees come to Jesus for a decision and they are trying to …Read More

  • Do you believe that God has audibly spoken to anyone since the apostolic age?

    I don’t know for sure whether God has or not. Certainly there are abundant cases in church history where people claim to have heard voices that were the audible voice of God. Joan of Arc would be Exhibit A. That …Read More

  • I’ve been wrestling with a career decision. What thinking processes should Christians use in decision making?

    Unfortunately, in today’s Christian environment the whole idea of thinking has become suspect. It’s as if using our natural abilities of intellect—particularly in areas of career— somehow represents a lack of faith. The concept is that we’re supposed to entrust …Read More

  • How should we deal with stubborn pockets of sin in our lives that won’t seem to go away even after much prayer and honest heartfelt desire to change?

    One of the great Christian classics is a devotional booklet written by Saint Thomas à Kempis called The Imitation of Christ. In that book he talks about the struggle that so many Christians have with habits that are sinful. He …Read More

  • How can a person have a divine nature and a human nature at the same time in the way that we believe Jesus Christ did?

    One of the great crises in evangelical Christianity today is a lack of understanding about the person of Christ. Almost every time I watch Christian television, I hear one of the classical creeds of the Christian faith being denied blatantly, …Read More

  • What should make Christian marriages distinctive?

    When we talk about the difference that being a Christian makes in life, not just in marriage, we point to the reality that as Christians we are indwelt by God the Holy Spirit, who is working within us to give …Read More

  • Is it being narrow-minded for Christians to say Christ is the only way?

    Well, it certainly can be an expression of narrow-minded-ness for a Christian to say that Christ is the only way. I’ll never forget the first time somebody asked me that. I was in college, and my college professor looked me …Read More
