  • Got Questions about Got Questions

    I know a number of Christians who are not really into apolgetics, or actual self bible study, who seem to seek answers from GotQuestions.org

    What do we know about them? Have you found serious problems with any of their answers?
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    Haven't heard of them.

    I usually check out my Bible if I got questions........

      As far as I've been able to tell their viewpoint is fairly standard for a conservative evangelical perspective. There is a fair bit I don't agree with on there but nothing I would call unorthodox.
      "I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

          It's obviously done by different people. Some of the articles can be contradictory(anything goes in a marriage relationship as long as it doesn't hurt anyone vs that's a gross pratice that shouldn't be done). Most of the questions and answers are very basic.

            Have you tried getting an answer to your question at Gotquestions.org?

                When I was younger... like early teens...

                      Maybe later teens... I don't remeber. Just that it's a decent general resource. Like an encyclopedia for conservative Evangelical Christian mores?

                        Eh, I don't think its that great of a resource. In particular, I have had people use it as a 'reference' when discussing gifts of the Spirit. GotQuestions comes from a very cessationist background - and IMO, they aren't very intellectually honest in some of their assessments.

                          Along those lines, one thing that makes me uncomfortable is what they say about the events at Fatima. They conclude that it was a miracle of satanic origin. That seems like an awfully bold claim to make (and not to mention it might veer a little close to blaspheming to Holy Spirit if they're wrong).

                              This site seems pretty similar to CARM. Lots of individual content on a variety of topics but not especially deep answers with tons of research like you would find on tektonics.
                              "Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy."
                              -Marcus Aurelius
