Honest Questions

Yes - and He has made Himself known: in what He made, in His kindness, and in person, in Jesus Christ.

Jesus wept at a friend's grave. The Bible speaks honestly about suffering, shows you His compassion, and promises His people a future without death or pain.

Yes, men wrote it - and holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Here is what the Bible says of itself, what it is for, and how it invites you to test it.

Yes. There is one mediator between God and men, who gave Himself a ransom for all - and He receives everyone who comes to Him.

What the Bible actually says, without the caricatures.

For readers who assume the answer is no.

Where the assurance of salvation actually rests, and where it does not.

The first concrete steps for a new believer, and why none of them is optional.

Because He is a Spirit, and no sinner could bear the sight of Him - yet He made Himself visible in Jesus, and those who trust Him will see His face.

God has spoken, and He is not far. Why a particular prayer seems unanswered the Bible does not always say - but it tells you whom you are asking, and invites you to come.

Evil comes out of the human heart in rebellion against God. He sees every wrong done, has fixed a day to judge it, and has come to change the hearts it comes from.

Understanding how the natural world works does not, by itself, establish that it has no Creator.

Jesus Christ created all things, and Scripture presents creation as history rather than myth.

You were created by Jesus Christ and for Him, and no purpose invented apart from Him will hold.

Yes - through Jesus Christ, and by no other way.

God has preserved His words, and the manuscript record shows no wholesale alteration.

Scripture does not contradict itself; the alleged contradictions resolve on examination of wording, context and purpose.

Age neither proves nor disproves a book; the question is whether God spoke in it.

Science has not disproved the Bible; the conflicts alleged are between Scripture and particular interpretations of evidence, not between Scripture and anything observed.

God's judgments are the acts of a holy Judge upon real wickedness, not arbitrary cruelty, and Scripture flatters no one in recording them.

Not in the sense modern readers mean by the word. Scripture regulates a mostly voluntary system of indentured service and condemns man-stealing outright.

Not at all. The Bible commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, and gave His life for her.
