#AskRC Live Twitter Event: December 2016
Answering theological questions from his students has been a continual commitment throughout Dr. R.C. Sproul's ministry. Originally called "gabfests" by his early students and later, "Ask R.C.," these sessions continue to take place at our conferences, on Renewing Your Mind, and online.
Today, with the help of his staff, Dr. Sproul used Twitter to answer your questions. Thank you to everyone who participated in this special event. You can follow the conversation below or see the Moment on Twitter:
@Ligonier I'm delighted to be here. Thank you to everyone for giving their time for this event.

@DanielOlushola @Ligonier In the past year we've sent 1,000 study Bibles to Africa. Nigeria will be an area of focus.

@michaeltolosa Reformed theologians agree that children of the elect go to heaven. Any child that goes to heaven enters by grace.

@JimCurtis_ @Ligonier To preach biblically by exposition. To pray diligently for the congregation. And to center focus on corporate worship.

@CalebLKelly @Ligonier This is an ongoing debate. I tend towards Traducianism, but I do not know.
— R.C. Sproul (@RCSproul) December 20, 2016
@CalebLKelly @Ligonier Creation is not staccato, but legato. God's creative power continues to sustain what He has created.

@DanielSAutos @Ligonier Never heard the argument and can't see any value to it.

@KyleBeckrich I am opposed to full preterism but embrace limited partial preterism.
— R.C. Sproul (@RCSproul) December 20, 2016
@PreachFerg @Ligonier The only two views which I fully reject are full preterism and dispensationalism.
— R.C. Sproul (@RCSproul) December 20, 2016
@edwardjlarow @Ligonier The greater problem is the church not preaching the whole counsel of God which would include election.

@carlos_stjohn His divine nature is omnipresent. His human nature is not. We cannot separate His two natures, but must distinguish them.
