Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3009 The Gospels give us only glimpses into Jesus’ childhood, yet those glimpses raise fascinating questions. How did the incarnation work in practice during those early years? Did the baby Jesus know He was God while lying in the manger? Did the toddler Jesus understand the Trinity? What was going on in His mind…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3008 This question has been debated by theologians throughout Church history. If Jesus could not have sinned, was His temptation genuine? If He could have sinned, what would that mean for His deity? These are not idle speculations but touch on the very nature of Christ and the reality of His victory over sin….
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3005 The hypostatic union is one of the most profound doctrines in all of Christian theology. It describes how Jesus Christ can be both fully God and fully man at the same time, united in one Person. This is not merely an academic curiosity for theologians to debate; it is essential to the Gospel…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3004 The deity of Jesus Christ is the foundation upon which Christianity stands or falls. If Jesus is not God, then Christianity is false, and we are still in our sins. But if Jesus is truly God, then everything changes. His words carry divine authority, His death has infinite value, and His promises are…
Reading Time: 14 minutesQuestion 3076 Few words in all of Scripture carry the weight of those spoken by Jesus from the cross in John 19:30: “It is finished.” In the original Greek, this is a single word, tetelestai (τετέλεσται), and it is one of the most theologically significant words in the entire New Testament. Far from being a…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3077 The hours between Jesus’ arrest in Gethsemane and His sentencing by Pontius Pilate were filled with a series of hearings and examinations, some religious and some civil, that together formed one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in human history. The Gospel accounts, when placed side by side, reveal that Jesus endured six…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3001 This is perhaps the most important question any person can ask. It is the question Jesus Himself put to His disciples at Caesarea Philippi: “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15). Your answer to this question determines your eternal destiny. It is not enough to know about Jesus; you must know…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3002 The question of whether Jesus had brothers and sisters has been debated throughout Church history, largely due to the Roman Catholic doctrine of Mary’s perpetual virginity. Yet when we approach Scripture simply asking what the text actually says, the answer becomes remarkably clear. The Gospels and epistles speak plainly about Jesus having siblings,…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 3026 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son…” (John 3:16, KJV) This phrase has comforted believers for centuries, but what exactly does it mean? Does “begotten” imply that Jesus had a beginning? Did the Father create the Son at some point in eternity past? These are not trivial…
Reading Time: 7 minutesQuestion 1000 Let’s start where we always should – with what Scripture says about itself. When Jesus was being tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He responded with a statement that gets right to the heart of this matter: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth…
