Dr. Keller also took time to take questions from those in attendance. Here are some of them:
What is Christianity’s stand on other religions and do we call people of other faiths our brothers and sisters?

I’m gay, but I want to be a Christian. I feel the need for a transcendent Savior and lover as you said last night, but I also long for human intimacy while on this earth. And the two following Christ and this seemingly innate desire for human intimacy and companionship appear mutually exclusive. What is your response?
Keller @ Oxford Question 2 from March of Morn on Vimeo.
Yesterday you said that the wages of sin are death. Can you explain what you meant by that?
How is the God of love the same being who commands the extermination of whole ethnic groups?
Can religion be explained as simply a product of social evolution?

How can I be sure Christ has entered my life?

The Christians in the Crusades justified some of their actions because they saw armies of angels with them and heard God telling them what to do. They backed this up with testimonies of many eyewitness. Is this not the same as justifying the Bible by many eyewitnesses who saw Jesus after he died? If the people in the Crusades were mistaken why were the eyewitness of Jesus not?
