Many people have questions about faith that bug them, but they haven't found a convenient venue in which to ask their questions: hence this section of the site.

Please feel free to submit a theological question here, and check back in a couple of days to read our minister's answer.

Ask Our Minister A Question

• Can Satan bring illness to people?  Does Satan know our thoughts?  Can people ask him to do different things, like make someone else sick or to make someone die?
• Could someone be a Presbyterian without believing the Unconditional Election doctrine? I want to understand why it's necessary to believe that God chooses those who will experience eternal salvation.
• Did everyone other than Noah's family die in the great flood? If so, that is twice that incest was involved in populating the world. I thought incest is a sin.
• Do you teach "rapture" at your church? If so, will you please explain in your own words what this is?
• How do you know your Bible is God's Word but other religions' scriptures are not? How do we know the people to whom God revealed himself weren't crazy? Today if people hear voices we call them insane.  Also, Are non-Christians going to hell?
• How do you preach from the "prophecy" of the Old Testament?
• How do you preach from the law in the Old Testament?
• What does your church teach about "speaking in tongues?"
• What happened to the "lost tribes of Israel?"
• What is Purgatory and why don't Presbyterians believe it? Is it a Catholic-only idea? Did CS Lewis believe in Purgatory?
• What is the biblical position on divorce? What, exactly, is abandoment or sexual sin? Are these permissible reasons for divorce?
• What is your church's position on "homosexual marriage"? On the ordination of celibate homosexual ministers? On having outreach programs (for example, small groups or bible studies) specifically targeted to the homosexual population?
• What is your church's position on fasting?
• What's the difference between the PCA (your denomination) and the PCUSA?
• Where do angels/demons fit in the order of creation? Did they experience original sin? Can they still choose to sin? What happens to the angels who fell with Satan? Do they have an opportunity to be redeemed?
• Why is there a phoenix represented in a stained-glass window in my church?
• Will you explain the punishment of Noah's sons?
• Are the Jews still "special" with God? Can you be a Jew and not believe in Jesus and still go to heaven?
