Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3053 Every religion has its founder or key figure. Buddhism has the Buddha, Islam has Muhammad, Hinduism has its gurus and avatars. So what makes Jesus different? Is he simply one religious teacher among many, or is there something utterly unique about him? The answer matters enormously, because if Jesus is just another voice…
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 60001 Every believer, at some point, will be asked to give a reason for why they believe what they believe. Whether it comes from a sceptical colleague, a curious neighbour, or a family member genuinely wrestling with spiritual questions, we need to be ready. But what does it mean to “defend the faith”? And…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 1098 Critical Race Theory, often abbreviated CRT, has become one of the most contentious issues in contemporary society and increasingly within the church. Some embrace it as a necessary tool for understanding and addressing racism; others reject it as incompatible with Christianity. Amid the rhetoric and confusion, thoughtful Christians need clarity: What actually is…
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 1100 Few phrases generate as much heat in Christian circles today as ‘social justice.’ For some, it represents the heart of the gospel lived out; for others, it signals a departure from biblical Christianity into secular ideology. But what does Scripture actually say? This is the only question that matters. Is the pursuit of…
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…
Reading Time: 7 minutesQuestion 0010 Before we can answer why, we should be clear about what we mean by a catechism. The word comes from the Greek κατηχέω (katēcheō), meaning “to teach by word of mouth” or “to instruct.” Luke uses this word in his Gospel when he tells Theophilus that he is writing “that you may have…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 0009 The answer is yes… and no. It depends entirely on which doctrines are in view. This is not evasion. It is the consistent witness of Scripture. The New Testament both commands unity among believers and warns against associating with those who teach a different gospel. Getting this balance right is one of the…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 0008 This is a question that cuts right to the heart of the matter. If theology matters, and it does, then surely some of it matters more than others. What must a person believe in order to be saved? Can someone be genuinely converted while holding mistaken views on certain doctrines? Where is the…
