faqs – bible questions

This life journey has many frequently asked bible questions (faqs). Such as who is Jesus, what is the kingdom of God, what is salvation and so on. God’s truth is found in His love story the Bible. However there appears to be some contradictions. For example if God is good, why is there evil. If God forgives all offences, then how can there be an unforgivable offence? Over the centuries God’s intended meaning of His written word to some degree was lost. As a result many different interpretations of scripture occurred, causing misunderstandings, confusion and disunity.

Consequently through this lack of knowledge many have formed God in their own image. Yet with increased knowledge and the tools to discover God’s intended meaning, now is the time to be established in His truth, rooted in His love and filled with the fullness of Him.

The Creator God is a relational God in perfect relationship with Himself. The Father, the Son and Holy Spirit are in complete oneness. One God. God does everything out of love. His love revealed in Jesus is perfected when we know and experience living in Him. It is from this revelation, in surrender of all preconceptions, that by His Spirit, God’s intended meaning is realised.

why is there evil?

God is the source of all things good. He created a perfect world where evil had no place. He created the first man and woman in His image, giving them equal dominion over all the earth. God also gave them the power of choice, to partake of life forever with Him or to partake of the knowledge of good and evil.

Salvation is a gift from God to set humanity free. God Himself chose to become the eternal sacrifice. God the Father sent God the Son.

why no transformation?

God gives everyone a free choice, including all those who have received Him. God does not interfere with anyone’s will. If God’s people are not willing to surrender their selfish desires of power and control to the Father’s will, there is a blockage to experiencing the transforming power of the Spirit of God.

Jesus says in Mark 3:29. ‘…but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation.’ A person who knows the truth, yet attributes Jesus’ healing work to the works of evil, denies the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the pathway to their forgiveness.
