Ask Bible Questions—and Get Clear, Scripture-Grounded Answers

People have honest questions about God, the Bible, and the Christian faith.

What does it mean to be saved? Why does God allow suffering? How should Christians understand baptism, spiritual gifts, sexuality, marriage, forgiveness, and the end times? Sometimes people hesitate to ask these questions because they fear being judged, misunderstood, or given a shallow answer.

That is why we created AskBibleQuestions.com.

Ask Bible Questions is a growing library of clear answers grounded in Scripture. Each answer begins with a concise response before exploring the question more deeply. Relevant Bible passages are cited throughout, allowing readers to examine the biblical evidence for themselves.

The goal is not merely to publish opinions or produce quick answers. It is to help people understand what Scripture teaches and why it matters for following Jesus.

Clear answers with a transparent point of view

Every Bible resource approaches Scripture from a particular perspective, whether it acknowledges that perspective or not. Ask Bible Questions makes its convictions clear.

The site includes a public statement of faith, information about its editorial process, and profiles of the people who review its answers. Articles identify their reviewers and show when they were last updated. When faithful Christians disagree about an important question, the goal is to explain those differences honestly while still reaching a clear, biblically reasoned conclusion.

Readers should not have to wonder who is behind an answer or what theological commitments shape it.

Built for the questions people are actually asking

The site addresses foundational questions such as:

  • What is the gospel?
  • How is a person saved?
  • What does it mean to be born again?
  • Who is the Holy Spirit?
  • What is the Trinity?
  • Why does baptism matter?
  • Can a Christian lose salvation?
  • Why does God allow suffering and tragedy?
  • How should Christians understand difficult moral and cultural questions?

Answers are organized by topic, and readers can also submit questions that have not yet been addressed. Questions shared by many people can become future articles for the entire community.

A resource for individuals, churches, and campus ministries

Ask Bible Questions can help someone exploring Christianity, a new believer trying to understand Scripture, or a mature Christian studying a difficult subject.

It can also serve churches, small groups, campus ministries, and ministry leaders. Instead of trying to answer every complex question in a hurried conversation, leaders can share a carefully developed resource and continue the discussion personally.

The site is not intended to replace reading the Bible, participation in a healthy local church, or guidance from mature Christian leaders. It is designed to help people take the next step: reading Scripture more carefully, asking better questions, and pursuing truth with humility.

If you have ever wished for a place where people could ask serious questions and receive clear, accessible answers rooted in the Bible, I invite you to visit AskBibleQuestions.com.

Bring your questions. Read the biblical evidence. Keep seeking the truth.

Hearing from God – Notes from Rick Atchley’s lessons at #pbl13

Of the classes I attended at the Pepperdine Bible Lectures this year, the ones most beneficial to my personal walk were those taught by Rick Atchley on Hearing from God. Here are my notes from those classes – there will be more to write about this topic later.

————————————————

Rick Atchley – Hearing from God pt. 1

  • Rick says it’s not his responsibility to hear God for us – he’d like to help us hear God for ourselves.

I. Central to God’s uniqueness is His spokenness (not simply His righteousness or holiness).

  • God is a REVEALING God. This is different from other deities in other religions.
  • Speechless idols” – the Bible highlights speech as a key difference between the real God and false gods.
  • God created us to speak and to hear – this tells us about the type of relationship He wants to have with us.
  • We have traditionally been taught that since the canon of scripture was complete God has given us the silent treatment.
  • We have grown up in a church culture that says if you are a pray-er you are heard, but if you hear you are a weirdo.
