Ask R.C. Live (Part 2)

The second Ask R.C. Live event took place on February 17, 2011. Watch as Dr. R.C. Sproul answers such questions as:

What advice would you give someone as they begin to study reformed theology to help them stay humble, loving and teachable?

Should we reduce being reformed to just embracing the doctrines of grace or is there ultimately more to it?

How is sanctification synergistic since it is God who works in us both to will and to do of His own good pleasure?

One pastor said we should only pray to God the Father. Is it wrong to pray to Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Does the Scripture support this pastor’s view?

The Apostle’s Creed affirms that Jesus descended into hell. Is this concept faithful to the Scriptures – if so, is this related to the somewhat obscure passage in Peter which talks of Christ preaching to the spirits in prison?

Since sins are forgiven when one is justified, why do we continue to pray for the forgiveness of sins?

Has there ever been a time when an Arminian passage has caused you to question your theology?

Since my husband died, I have a great longing to go to be with Christ but is that a sin – not being grateful for everyday He’s given me here on earth?

What has been the most influential book in your life (outside of the word of God)?

Does God still perform miracles today, and if so, how are they different from those recorded in Scripture?

Is there one thing you wish to do before you are called home to be with the Lord?

Reflecting on your life of ministry, what is a significant lesson you’ve learned that you would share with a man preparing for ministry?

The phrase “God hates the sin but loves the sinner” continues to be widely used. Do you believe it? If not, how would you repudiate it?
