After reading the Bible, did it create more questions or answers for you?

Question

personally it created to many questions.... and so i gave up on it all

i wonder why only atheists are answering? is it because people are afraid the Bible answers no real question?

Answer 1

I was wonderfully saved by the power of God when I least expected it and in a way I never knew was possible.
Nevertheless I was somewhat directionless for about a year because I didn't know any other (true) Christians. Then I started reading the Bible and realized what happened to me was written about in the Bible all along - in John's Gospel Chapter 3, where Jesus talks about being born again. I realized when I read this that was what happened to me.
The more I read the Bible the more I understood, but I still didn't have others to fellowship with or discuss ideas with. Then one day i ran into other Bible believing Christians. I became baptized in the Holy Spirit and spiritual realities and the Word of God really opened up to me. I also became acquainted with some of God's great Bible teachers.
I am still learning, after over 30 years; but I understand much more now than I did at first.
One thing hasn't changed - I knew Jesus Christ loved me and died to save me from my sins. I know that today, and still reckon it to be the most important truth I have ever learned.

Answer 2

The Bible raises lots of questions. But for an inquiring mind that is a challenge one is eager to take on. You could study your whole life and never understand it all. The Word is pregnant and grows and grows. The more you learn the more you come to understand, which raises more in depth questions and a desire to keep digging. The truth is there. We only have to find it. I use a Strong's Greek and Hebrew concordance, the Blue-Letter Bible online, and Companion Bible that has detailed commentary, appendixes, and explanations of Greek/Hebrew figures of speech. For example, you could say, "Man, that was cold." Meaning that was a cruel thing to do. A person for whom English is not a native language may think it actually means cold ans in brrrr, chilly. The same goes for many things in the Bible. It was written in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Chaldee. You need help explaining these figures of speech to really understand.

Answer 3

It's an endless cycle of questions and answers. You never fully understand everything completely inside and out, but I've always found that the answers come after time. It helps to have people to talk and read with too. If you aren't into church (and I can understand why) and the super organized stuff, just get a couple of interested friends together and read a couple translations together. Just a suggestion from another person on the search.

Answer 4

The bible is both easy to understand and hard to accept and it does raise questions but with the purpose of having you search the scriptures to show yourself approved. Anything worth having is worth the effort of investigation,the discovery is at times awesome.No matter how often we read we are constantly finding new things that guide us in our journey.I find it amazing how many answers to life questions are answered in the bible,since times have changed and we are more advanced supposedly than the writers,Gods requirements of us are pretty basic and simple yet to commit to it is hard for a lot of persons.

Answer 5

It's has all the answers. Even answers to questions you have not thought of yet. When you have a question the answer will be there. You can not know the bible all at once. Daily Food for the Soul.

Answer 6

It answered a lot of questions but created more questions you didn't have before. A friend of mine has studied the bible for 50 years and still finds new things. But he wouldn't want to miss it.

Answer 7

For people who actually read the bible (instead of thumping it), I think it does create more questions. Some lose faith, some don't. It just depends.

Answer 8

The Bible is actually a collection of many books. 66 to be exact.
They cover a historical span of 1500 years and various cultures and languages. It would be good for you to get some guidance on what to read first and what is more important.

Answer 9

For me it answered a lot of questions I had about me as a human being. Much of it was painful at first but it sure made sense. Also I find it most amazing to see the reality of the scriptures today even though it was written thousands of years ago. It proves more and more everyday that God is omniscient

Answer 10

After reading the Bible my mind was renewed and I was a changed man. The Bible says do not be conform to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. So if you want your mind to be renewed get to the Word of God. The word always wroks and I have stopped asking questions since I received the Holy Ghost...he is my counsellor
