Thoughtful Answers to Honest Questions About Christian Faith
Welcome to ChristianAnswers101.com, where we tackle the hard questions that challenge Christian faith and explore the difficult passages of Scripture that often perplex believers and skeptics alike. In a world where faith is frequently dismissed as intellectually unsustainable, we believe Christianity can withstand rigorous examination and that honest questions deserve thoughtful, well-researched answers.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide thoughtful, biblically-grounded answers to challenging questions about Christian faith, Scripture, history, and theology. We address the questions that arise when reading the Bible carefully, the objections raised by skeptics, the puzzles presented by ancient texts, and the apparent tensions between faith and evidence. We believe that wrestling with difficult questions strengthens rather than weakens genuine faith, and that Christianity invites both heartfelt devotion and careful intellectual engagement.
What We Do
At ChristianAnswers101.com, we explore questions like: How do we understand morally difficult passages in the Old Testament? What archaeological evidence supports biblical accounts? How do we reconcile apparent contradictions in Scripture? How does Genesis relate to scientific understanding? Why would God command certain actions that seem troubling to modern readers? What evidence exists for biblical events and figures? We examine these questions through careful biblical study, engagement with scholarship, consideration of historical evidence, and theological reflection.
Our Approach
We approach Scripture with both reverence and rigor. We believe the Bible is God’s inspired Word and ultimately reliable in what it teaches, while also recognizing that understanding ancient texts requires careful study, attention to context, awareness of literary genres, and humility about interpretive questions. We engage with biblical scholarship, historical evidence, archaeological findings, and theological reflection while maintaining confidence in Christian truth. We present our understanding while acknowledging that faithful scholars sometimes reach different conclusions on secondary matters.
Who We Are
We are Christians who believe that faith and reason are compatible, that tough questions deserve serious engagement, and that Christianity can withstand intellectual scrutiny. We are students of Scripture, apologetics, and theology who compile research, analyze biblical passages, engage with scholarly resources, and present findings in accessible formats. While we are not professional biblical scholars or theologians, we are committed to careful study, intellectual honesty, and faithfulness to Scripture.
Why “Christian Answers 101”?
Our name reflects our purpose: providing foundational, accessible answers to important Christian questions. The “101” designation suggests introductory-level engagement—we aim to make complex topics understandable without oversimplifying them. We want to help believers think more deeply about their faith and to show skeptics that Christianity offers credible answers to serious questions.
Our Theological Foundation
We affirm the core tenets of historic Christian orthodoxy: the Trinity, the deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, the authority of Scripture, and the resurrection of Jesus. While Christians hold diverse views on secondary matters, we focus on these central truths while exploring questions that arise within the broad stream of Christian tradition. We seek to be fair to various Christian perspectives while presenting our understanding clearly.
