What is the Pentateuch? Could the word be applied to books of the New Testament?

Is the apathy we see about the advancement of the kingdom relative to the ineffectiveness of the churches? [Matthew 24:14, Acts 17:7, Matthew 6:33].

Do you think that premillennial Dispensationalism is a distraction to keep people from fully engaging our tasks?

How was the King James Bible constructed? Why were the books limited to 66? What is wrong with the Catholic books (Apocrypha) that they are not included?

Thank you for commenting that having a premillennial view of the return of Christ doesn't necessarily mean one is not aware of our calling.

What is the proper view of being "made in the image of God" and the charge to become more like God, both in contrast to the danger of thinking ourselves like God (or gods), as in the New Age philosophy? [2 Peter 1:3-11, Genesis 3:5].

Did you teach that "ecclesia" is translated "church", "disciple" or "kingdom of God"?

Caller shares an article about the moral and physical decline of America and suggests possible use in evangelizing. (google; type in "America Number One in stress fear anger & obesity"). [Ephesians 2:12, Psalm 144:15].

Could you comment on the "keys to the kingdom"? [Matthew 16:17-19, Matthew 18:18].

Are there two words in the Greek for "rock"- one for a larger rock, and one for smaller ones? [I Peter 2].
