What happens to those who have died and never had the chance to hear the gospel?

Answered by BibleQ . August 16, 2014 - 12:20 am 3

This is a really tough question to answer because I do not think the Bible gives us sufficient information with which to answer it. Certainly Jesus never discusses those who die without hearing the gospel message. Whenever Jesus discusses the judgment he refers to two categories of people: those who did the will of the […]

Are Christadelphians the only ones who are going to be saved upon the second coming of Jesus Christ?

Answered by BibleQ . August 23, 2013 - 7:48 pm

The simple answer is ‘no’, common sense tells us that no church is unique or perfect in doctrine in God’s eyes, much less in behaviour. But to these things we do not know. It is not our judgment to make, it is for Christ to judge (John 5:22; Matt 5:31), and so any attempt to […]

How do Christians know that Christianity, and not other religions, is right?

Answered by BibleQ . July 29, 2013 - 6:48 pm

There are lots of reasons — all of which add together — that give Christians confidence that what they believe is true. For example, the Bible contains prophecies which predicted events in world history before they happened: this is often cited as a reason for trusting the Bible, and its teaching, over against other religious teachings.1 […]

When can one be considered righteous?

Answered by BibleQ . November 2, 2012 - 11:41 pm

The simple answer is, when God considers us righteous. When does God consider us righteous? To answer this question, I’d like to briefly look at a few examples of righteous people. Firstly, Abraham, the friend of God, is an excellent example. God made a seemingly impossible promise to Abraham and Abraham believed God. We read […]

What is the difference between thinking something will happen and hoping that something will happen?

Answered by BibleQ . May 25, 2012 - 2:36 pm

Today when we talk of ‘hope’, we might say “I hope I win the Lotto”. We are not always confident that what we hope for will actually happen. But this meaning is not quite the same as the way ‘hope’ is often used in Scripture. ‘Hope’ is a vital theme in the New Testament. The […]

How can I restore my faith?

Answered by BibleQ . April 30, 2012 - 4:44 pm

You say: I have been feeling spiritually empty. I mean I know God exists and Jesus died on the cross for my sins but recently I have been feeling this emptiness inside of me. I desperately want to heal my spiritual faith in the Lord, it’s just I don’t know what to do. I was […]

What does the bible say about being fearful of confrontation?

Answered by BibleQ . January 14, 2012 - 4:42 pm

The Bible describes various confrontations faced by God’s people. When the people of Israel were to invade and take possession of the promised land – when they were to confront their enemies – Moses encouraged them with the following words recorded in Deuteronomy 31:3-6: The LORD your God himself will go over before you. He […]

Why won’t God heal my children when he blesses me financially?

Answered by BibleQ . December 5, 2011 - 1:53 pm

Here is the full question: I am 50 years old being a Christian for 22 years. God has blessed me financially beyond what I expect,. I have 4 children, my second (girl 16+) and third (boy 10+) suffered from “autism”. I am concerned about their future. I believe in miracles. Technically I lost 26+ years […]

Why was it impossible for Gehazi to heal the Shunammite woman’s son?

Answered by BibleQ . November 15, 2011 - 10:49 am

This can be answered simply; Gehazi did not have the faith required. An insight into the character of the man, can be seen in 2 Kings 5:20-27. Looking deeper there is further meaning. Relevant verses — 2 Kings 4:29-36: He said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment and take my staff in your hand and go. If […]

What happens if Jesus returns before I am baptised but I am on the path to getting baptised?

Answered by BibleQ . October 4, 2011 - 5:20 am

The simple answer is we don’t know. Consider this verse from Mark 16:16: “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned” It is clear what will happen to those who believe and are baptised. It is also clear what will happen to those who don’t believe, whether […]
