Reading Time: 4 minutesQuestion 3059 Every few years, some book or documentary claims to have discovered evidence that Jesus was married. Dan Brown’s novel The Da Vinci Code popularised the idea that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had children. In 2012, a fragment called the “Gospel of Jesus’s Wife” made headlines before being exposed as a modern forgery….
Reading Time: 5 minutesQuestion 3046 When John the Baptist saw Jesus approaching, he made one of the most profound declarations in all of Scripture: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). This title, ‘Lamb of God,’ reaches back through centuries of sacrificial imagery and forward to the eternal worship 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: 6 minutesQuestion 3037 The question of who killed Jesus has been debated, weaponised, and misunderstood for two thousand years. It has been used to justify horrific persecution of the Jewish people. It has been the subject of theological controversy and historical investigation. Yet Scripture gives us a multifaceted answer that is both historically grounded and theologically…
Reading Time: 6 minutesQuestion 3041 After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples over a period of forty days, teaching them about the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). Then, on the Mount of Olives, He was taken up before their eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight (Acts 1:9). He was gone. Why? If Jesus had…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 4001 When Christians speak of the Holy Spirit, it is worth pausing to ask what they actually mean. For many, the Spirit remains a vague and largely undefined presence, invoked in prayer and worship but not clearly understood. The New Testament does not leave the question open. It presents the Holy Spirit with specificity…
Reading Time: 3 minutesQuestion 4000 If you have spent any time in theological study, you have almost certainly encountered words ending in -logy: theology, Christology, eschatology. Pneumatology is one of these, and it refers specifically to the systematic study of the Holy Spirit. The word itself comes from the Greek pneuma (πνεῦμα), meaning breath, wind, or spirit, and…
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: 4 minutesQuestion 0003 Few verses in Scripture carry more weight for understanding the nature of the Bible than 2 Timothy 3:16. Paul writes: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” At the heart of this statement is a single Greek word: θεόπνευστος (theopneustos)….
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…
