Dr. Couch, in Philippians 3:11 Paul says "If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."

Dr. Couch, I have heard some say that Matthew 7:13-27 is about the church; they make a case for belief not being enough to enter the kingdom—only those who do the will of the Father will enter.

Dr. Couch, I recently debated a woman on the internet who argued that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was not about homosexuality but rather about the attempt of gang rape of the visitors [the angels] who had come to these cities, specifically the angels who came and spoke with Lot (Gen. 19:1-29). How do we answer?
Read More
Dr. Couch, how could Martin Luther be so mixed up in his mistreatment of the Jewish people? He wrote terrible things about them because they did not receive Christ as their Savior. Luther was filled with hatred and yet he prayed three or four hours a day. Also, he thought the book of James should not be in the canon of Scripture. This all seems inconsistent with someone who studied and prayed so much!

Dr. Couch, with all that is prophesied about the church in the last days, is it possible to have a great revival in the church as a whole? There is great concern for our nation.

And if it is impossible, then what should we be doing?
Read More
Dr. Couch, why in Genesis 3:15 is it stated first that the (1) "seed of the woman (the Messiah) will bruise the serpent (Satan) on the head" before (2) "the serpent (Satan) bruises Him on the heel." The Messiah is said to bruise the serpent with a head wound before the serpent inflicts the bruise on His heel! Is there a reason for mentioning the bruising on the head of the snake first (a mortal wound), before the serpent has bruised the heel?
Read More
Dr. Couch, should not Christians have more wisdom and not be so duped and gullible in their thinking? Or is this part of His sovereignty, to allow evil to run its course, and too, in life He hands out divine retribution, even on believers?
Read More
Dr. Couch, I have over the years really admired your biblical knowledge. I remember when we went to your church and had come out of a Pentecostal congregation.

Almost all of my family has been brainwashed on the issue. – D.E.
