Exploring what the Bible teaches about the nature and attributes of God—His existence, character, sovereignty, and Trinitarian nature.
Towards the end of January 2026 you should see a number of posts here.
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 2075 Of all the objections raised against the God of the Bible, this one carries perhaps the most emotional force. The conquest of Canaan, in which God commanded Israel to destroy entire populations, is regularly cited as evidence that the God of the Old Testament is a deity of tribal violence rather than the…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 2076 It seems like a strange question until you press it, and then it becomes genuinely important. If God is everywhere present, does that include hell? And if it does, what does that mean? If it does not, does that mean God’s omnipresence has limits? The question touches both the doctrine of God’s omnipresence…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 2073 The question touches something every thoughtful believer wrestles with. If God knows the end from the beginning and his purposes are fixed, what does prayer actually accomplish? And if he already knows what we are going to ask, and has already decided how he will respond, does the whole exercise amount to little…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 2078 The account of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 is one of the earliest and most studied passages in Scripture, and yet the reason God accepted one offering and rejected the other remains genuinely puzzling to many readers. The text seems, on the surface, to offer very little explanation, which has led to…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 2071 “The Father is greater than I” (John 14:28). These words, spoken by Jesus on the night of his arrest, have been among the most contested in Christian theology. Arians used them to argue that Jesus is a lesser being than the Father. Others have suggested they refer only to Jesus’ incarnate condition and…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 02055 Why are we here? The question underlies much of the anxiety that drives people towards both religion and its alternatives. Scripture addresses it not as an abstract puzzle but as a statement of identity — telling us not just what we were made for but who made us and why that shapes every…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 02085 The term “common grace” describes the benefits God extends to all people regardless of whether they are in a saving relationship with Him. It is distinguished from saving grace, which transforms the soul and brings about new birth, and it raises a genuine question: can someone who has never trusted Christ still perceive…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 2003 Scripture presents what appears to be a genuine tension. God “desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4), yet plainly not all people are saved. He tells Israel through Ezekiel that He takes “no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 2004 Open theism is a theological position that has attracted academic attention over recent decades, particularly through writers such as Greg Boyd, John Sanders, and Clark Pinnock. It takes its name from the idea that the future is “open” — not yet determined — and that God, though omniscient in every other respect, does…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 2006 The existence of evil is, in its most honest form, an uncomfortable subject for theology. If God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly good, why is there evil at all? Any answer that diminishes God’s power or His goodness in order to resolve the problem has paid too high a price. But the way…
