Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 0023 Anyone who has spent time reading Paul’s letters will notice a consistent pattern. Take Romans: the first eleven chapters are dense theological exposition—the righteousness of God, justification by faith, the place of Israel, the sovereignty of God in salvation. Then chapter 12 begins: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of…
Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3048 Some claim that Jesus never actually said He was God – that this was a later invention by the Church. They point out that Jesus often called Himself the “Son of Man” and referred to God as His Father, suggesting distinction rather than identity. Is this accurate? Did Jesus actually claim to be…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3029 Colossians 1:15 describes Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation.” Critics of Christianity, particularly Jehovah’s Witnesses and other groups that deny Jesus’ deity, seize upon this phrase as proof that Jesus was the first thing God created. If He is the “firstborn,” surely He must have been born at some point? This question…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 4003 Christians sometimes speak of being filled with the Spirit as though it were an elusive spiritual state achieved only by the most devoted believers, or conversely, as though it is synonymous with emotional intensity in worship. Neither captures what the New Testament is actually talking about. The idea of Spirit-filling is important, biblical,…
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: 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 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: 8 minutesQuestion 9000 See also YouTube video at the end explaining why we should be baptised. Believer’s baptism is the baptism by immersion in water of those who have personally trusted in the Lord Jesus for salvation. It’s not infant baptism, not sprinkling, not pouring, but the full immersion of someone who has already been saved…
