Questions about whether God is being a hypocrite when he commands us not to murder and then executes people himself and how a politically conservative Christian should respond to a medical school admission form that asks questions about political opinions.
* Why is God a hypocrite, commanding us not to murder in Exodus 20:13 and then executing people in Isaiah 66:16? What kind of good leader says, “Do as I say, not as I do”?
* What should someone who’s a Christian and a conservative do when filling out a form for medical school admission that asks questions about political opinions?
