Does God respond to the prayers of the unbelievers? 2-Is it true that the Bible or at least some passages of the Bible can be used to harm people? 3-Is there any position (kneeling, standing and so on.) that pleases God more when we pray or are there objects that we can associate to our prayers […]

Question: You say in your article that "Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-20 that he fulfilled all the requirements of the Law, so that we are free of the need for that Law".  So….. you are telling me that  I can commit adultery, murder, steal, covet, lie, have many other Gods, worship images take the name […]

Question: I’m confused on why the ten commandments included the law "you shall not kill." Are there exceptions to this rule? Moses himself ordered the death of  some people because they sinned against God (Exodus 32: 19-28). And despite the constant wars that occur in the Bible, God even orders his people to kill children (1 Samuel […]

Question: I am very confused about the identity of Jesus. If he is God, why did he offer worship and pray to his father? and if he is God, why does he not refer to himself as God? Answer; I will have to admit that the biblical doctrine of Jesus and his divinity is hard to […]

Question: I don’t really consider myself a Christian anymore, more of a defender of Scripture. I just wanted to see someone answer why most Christians have done away with Sabbath (or replaced it), have done away with the dietary laws, and have adopted such horrible holidays such as Christmas as some sort of feast to […]

Question:  I get confused sometimes with interpretation in general of the Bible. Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, etc. All have different forms of theolgical understandings of scripture that has resulted in various denominations. Why, and how do you decide which one to agree with more or less?? Answer: The particular false teachings you are […]

Question: Why does the God of the Old Testament seem so mean, and unmerciful, but God in the New Testament is gracious, loving, and merciful? Answer: Yours is a very common misconception of both the Old and the New Testament.  There are two misconceptions here.  First, it is common to view the portrayal of God […]

Question: 1.      Why would an all knowing benevolent God give such ridiculous laws? Not using two different types of fibers? Cutting off the hand of a woman that grabs the private parts of the man that fights her husband? Not touching a woman for seven days after the beginning of her period? What is that???? The almighty […]

Question:  Why didn’t God simply destroy Satan from the beginning? Answer: God did not tell us so this requires me speculating, so please take my answer for what it is worth/with a grain of salt. Why did God not destroy you when you sinned?  Because he loves you and because he wants you to repent […]

Question: Is it possible after a few moments of Bible study and a profound prayer to be accepted by God?  I am asking this question because here in Cameroon I have sometimes seen and heard evangelists preaching that if you confess Jesus with your mouth and if you believe that Jesus is the Lord, then it […]

Question: Everybody is foreknown, because God knows everyone before they are born, so everyone is predestined "For those God foreknew he also predestined", and therefore everybody is called in their life time "those he predestined he also called". Therefore everybody is judged on the extent of their calling, and even if you are not baptised […]

Question: If Jesus is God, why does he pray to God throughout the new Testament, and encourage us to worship God? And why did Jesus call out "My God my God why have you forsaken me" if he is God? Answer: In discussing what is sometimes referred to as the doctine of the "trinity"  I will […]

Question: If God/Jesus Christ has great power and can perform everything as he would want, why did he delay to come to the earth? And he certainly knew that the humans are full of sins, why did he need time to come; why he let people sin further before he comes, why did he let Satan stay on […]

Question: Could you explain to me about the chosen nation either in Old Testament and New Testament? Answer: The Jews are known in the Old Testament as a "chosen people."  They were chosen by God because of the faith of Abraham.  The promise that the family of Abraham would be chosen is found in Genesis […]

Question:  I assume that God allmighty is performing miracles right at this moment. He is curing cancer, AIDS, and all kinds of spiritual and physical illness. But, why God doesn’t answer the prayers of a person that has been mutilated? Why there isn’t any miracle performed by our Allmighty God where a limb that has been […]

Question: Can you tell me About Baptisam? Without Baptisam can we be saved? Answer: All I can do on this one is go by what the Bible says.  A good place to look is the first gospel sermon, preached by Peter on the Day of Pentecost, which is found in Acts chapter 2.  After explaining to his […]

Question: Is saving grace conditional or unconditional? Answer: There is a sense in which this is a trick question, although I am sure you had no intention of posing a trick question.  It reminds me of the situation in which Jesus was asked about whether one should pay taxes to Caesar.  Simply saying either yes […]

Question: One might say it is unfair, that God might judge the world before some people (who are so very remote) ever get a chance to hear the message. What do you think? Answer: This is a very common question.  I get it quite often at the site.  It is a good question. My response is […]

Question: I am having a hard time convincing someone I am studying with about the Oneness of Jesus Christ and God. He has argued that if Jesus and God is one why is it that Jesus prayed to the Father/God, if He really is God. Can you please give me Scriptures and your insight about the Scripture about […]

Question:  I understand and certainly accept the logic of good and evil on earth and why evil is necessary in order for man to have free will. My question is, how will this be in heaven? It doesn’t appear that one can "sin" in heaven due to the explanation given to the rich man and […]

Question: If God knew all (was omniscient) when he created the earth then why was he surprised at what Adam and Eve did? He should have not been so idealistic if he knew ahead of time that his first two creations were not going to hold his plan. Answer: This is really an excellent question.  Biblical […]

Question: Acts 8:14-17 — Says that disciples had already been baptized into Jesus Christ (saved, forgiven of their sins, etc.) but did not receive the gift of the Holy Spirit until the apostles did lay their hands on them. That’s how they got the Holy Spirit, not through baptism. Acts 19:1-7 — Says that the […]
