100 Tough Questions about God and the Bible by Stephen M. Miller Pdf

Straightforward answers to questions Christians and skeptics alike ask about God and the Bible Let's be honest--the Bible can be hard to understand. It's full of weird laws, apparent inconsistencies, and tales of a God who often doesn't do what we expect. You may have asked about some of these things and been brushed off or given trite, unconvincing answers. But serious questions deserve thoughtful responses, especially when opinions of Bible experts clash. Stephen M. Miller pulls insight from a wide range of Bible experts to report their answers to the tough questions. He does so with a touch of humor and no preaching, allowing you to draw your own conclusions. Questions include: · Would a loving God really put a good man like Job through horrible suffering just to test his loyalty? · If God knows everything, why did he test Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his own son? · How could there be just one God, yet three? · Since Jesus told people to turn the other cheek, why aren't more Christians pacifists?

Questions about God by S Michael Houdmann General Editor Pdf

God welcomes questions. The Bible is full of inquisitive characters with good questions. From Abraham's inquiry, "Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?" to Mary's wide-eyed, "How will this be?" God patiently answers the questions of sincere, searching hearts. Questions are part of the learning process, and a repeated Old Testament command is, "Seek the LORD." Those who inquire of Him are invariably rewarded with His wisdom. Jesus' gracious promise says "Ask, and it will be given to you." As we open the Bible, we begin a quest to know the God who has revealed Himself in its pages. "What is God like?" "Does God love me?" "Why does He allow bad things to happen?" The answers to these and many other questions are there in the Bible, waiting for us to find them. Got Questions Ministries has fielded many questions about God since 2002. One hundred of those questions are compiled in this book, along with biblical answers. All of these real-life questions come from people who want to know the truth about God, His nature, and His work in the world. We hope you will use this volume as an aid to knowing God a little better and loving Him more.

Questions about the Bible by S. Michael Houdmann Pdf

There has never been another book like the Bible. And there never will be. Only the Word of God is “living and enduring” (1 Peter 1:23) and is more precious “than much pure gold” (Psalm 19:10). Only the Bible is “God-breathed” (2 Timothy 3:16). Being divinely inspired, the Holy Bible deserves our full attention, reverent study, and diligent application. God has spoken, and His words have been written down, preserved, and translated for our eternal benefit. The Bible answers life’s most important questions, but it also raises questions from many quarters. From the skeptic: “Why should I take stories of miracles literally?” From pastors: “What is the difference between exegesis and eisegesis?” From the neophyte: “Where is a good place to start reading the Bible?” From the merely curious: “What is a shekel?” Got Questions Ministries has been answering questions about the Bible since 2002. In this book are one hundred of those questions and their Bible-based answers. May you find this volume helpful in understanding the Book, and may you “do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman ... who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).

100 Most Asked Questions About the Bible by Pastor James R. Reese Jr. Pdf

Whether you are just beginning your Personal Walk with God or have been on this highly significant journey for years, there are always questions that may not be discernable due to the living, growing, complex nature of the message of God’s Word; the Bible. Readers of this “God-breathed” Word often get distracted from its central theme; to know Jesus the Christ, by issues pertaining to the people, the situations, the rituals, the doctrines, and the stories they have heard, and maybe not read, which have been handed down for generations. This book is a collection of real questions asked by everyday people, Christians and those seeking to be Christians, on subjects ranging from “Jonah and the Whale” and “How to become a Christian”, to the actual validity of the Bible itself. The answers were broadcast on a weekly radio show by Pastor James R. Reese Jr. who’s Pastoral career spanned well over 60 years. It is an excellent source to accompany any Bible Study or just to pick up and begin reading. The first draft of this book was taken from the actual recordings of his broadcasts which took place in several different states over a time period of 50 years. The manuscript was first typed by Pastor James R. Reese Jr. himself on a now considered antique manual typewriter. It was then carried around in a box for many more years. At the urging of Pastor James R. Reese Jr.’s son, Pastor Scott Reese, the box was finally opened and its contents put on a computer file in 2003. The final editing began in 2010 and was completed in May of 2011 for presentation to the publisher. This book contains a wealth of information and knowledge inspired by a man who let his light shine “...before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). The completion of this book has been a labor of love for all of us involved and we pray that you will follow Pastor James R. Reese’s light and let your own light shine.
