MINISTRY//Bible Institute Questions

Our Bible institute professors field a remarkable range of questions from their students. Here are examples.

•  Is yoga sinful? (A student’s pastor told him it was. Answer: Not necessarily. One can practice yoga without involving religious faith.)

• Is faith healing real? (Could be real, but be careful. Most often it is not. Worse, it can involve demonic forces.)

• How does a Christian drive out demons? (Simple answer: in the name of Jesus. Thorough answer required a Bible study.)

• What does the Bible mean when it says, “….?” Numerous Bible interpretation questions.

• Is the rapture going to happen? When will Jesus return? Numerous questions about the end times and what happens after death.

• What’s the best ways for me to share my faith with a friend? (We have a course to teach this.)

• Is it right that our pastor told his members that they should not read Bible or pray? He said we should only sit quietly and wait for Spirit to talk with us.  (God communicates with us through his Word.)

• What is hyssop?

• Can you tell me something about mustard seed?

• Is everything the same today as in Bible times? (There are many things that are different. But people and their spiritual needs remain the same.)

• Is investing in Chinese stock market gambling? (It depends on what you are investing in. Even more important, is answering the questions, Is my stock market investing fueled by greed? Can I invest in ways that glorify God.)

 What you can do: Obviously, our professors need to be well-qualified and thoroughly prepared. They also need your prayers.
