I challenged the audience once while preaching the sermon entitled: “That Form of Doctrine,” in Romans 6:17-18.
That if they disagree with me, to go asked their preachers: “What is that form of doctrine: that makes one free, from their sins?”
I explained to them; that you might want to get ready, for one of these three responses:
1) He might say: “I’ll look into it.” He won’t have an answer right then, but he would look into the bible for an answer. He however, might not ever get back to you; with a bible answer.
2) He might do a little saber rattling; and respond sharply like: “Who are you to question me, about anything in the bible?” I’m the pastor of this church! Too often they will feel threatened, when questioned about a spiritual truth.
3) He might respond with a filibuster! He might just talk around, talk around, and talk around; but, never give you an answer to your question. Don't worry however; I will give you a bible answer, today. So if he does answers, you have a biblical explanation already.
