Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
Many of you have questions about the Bible, so we’ve compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions. Come back often to see new questions. If you have a question, let us know in the comments below.
Q. What is the Bible?
A. The Bible is the inspired, life-breathed Word of God. The Bible was written by different men used by God over thousands of years. It has 66 Books, separated into two parts: The Old Testament (OT) and The New Testament (NT). No prophecy has ever failed and the remaining ones are being fulfilled, right now, and will continue to be fulfilled in the times to come.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
2 Timothy 3:16
Q. Who is the Bible for?
A. The Bible is for everyone.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
1 John 3:16
Q. Do people become Christians because they don’t know how to live life?
A. Yes, but not for the reasons that people say. Christians know that Yahuah created everything. He has a plan for all of His creation. No matter how successful anyone becomes without God, they’ve still failed in life if they’re not living the life Yahuah created them to live..
“For I know the thoughts I think towards you,” says the Lord; “thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Q. Is Christianity a cult?
A. No. Christianity is not a cult. It’s not even a religion. A cult is when a man or woman presents himself to his followers as the one who has all the answers (or call themselves “god”). Their followers must listen to them or something bad will happen. The Bible never speaks on this, outside of Yeshua being the One to follow. He performed miracles, but He also taught repentance – live life according to Yahuah and not according to sin.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by me.”
John 14:6
Q. How do you become a follower of Jesus?
A. Believe in Him. Admit that you’re a sinner, and choose to believe that He died on the cross for your sins, too. Then, get baptized. Reading His Word and doing what It says and by saying “Yes” proves to Him that you love Him.
Be doers of the Word, not just hearers only, otherwise you’ll be deceiving your own selves.
James 1:22
Q. How do I know if God is talking to me?
A. God speaks to you through His Word. If you hear God, when He speaks (audibly) to you, He won’t tell you to do anything that goes against His Word. The only way to know if what you’re hearing is matching up is to read the Bible is to read It. Also, having His Holy Spirit leading you is the biggest help you can receive outside of what His Word says. The Bible is alive. It’s not a dead book. It can and will speak to you and your life experiences, but you have to be willing to see and hear what the Lord is saying, not only for you but about loving Him and others.
For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…
Hebrews 4:12
Q. Isn’t the Bible for old people or for people who are scared to believe that nothing will happen when they die?
A. No, the Bible is for everyone – even you. The Bible is for the whole world – Krishna, Hindu, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, for all people and all religions. Jesus says that God gave His only Begotten Son so the world, through Jesus, might be saved, and those who choose to believe will not perish but will live life with Him, in Eternity. The Bible is for anyone who wants to be saved.
He who believes in Jesus is not condemned; but He who doesn’t believe is condemned already because He has not believed in the Name of the only Begotten Son of God.
John 3:18
Q. If God planned out our lives, already, then why do people go to Hell?
A. Listening to God and His plan is a choice. God’s guidance changes us. Many people live their whole lives and make a whole lot of money but miss the calling of God. We have to be willing to submit to God when someone tells us about Him or when He speaks to us and we know it’s Him. Most of the time, people don’t want to give up what they’ve gained in society (or the world) and continue to go on with life, as if they never heard a message from God. Others are told to pray or give their lives to Christ, and they never do it. When we reject God, we cannot live in Heaven with Him. We didn’t want Him on Earth, why would it be fair to Him to allow you to be with Him in Heaven when you haven’t changed.
