Questions from Teaching the Bible  
 

  By Greg Vanden Berge  Articles For Christians  God Said What Videos


One of the biggest problems that educators have, who choose to teach from the Bible, is the questions that their students ask. Some of these questions can't be answered easily and if the teacher chooses to answer them, often it's only speculation.

One the biggest problems with teaching from the Bible are the questions that arise while you're teaching from it. I realize that plenty of people are trained and educated each year from this book, but these are the people who rarely question it.

If you're going to school, to become a doctor is it going to be beneficial to have problems and contradictions within their educational materials? Would it be a good thing for a doctor, not to know for a fact what causes diarrhea? The book that the doctor is learning from, would give you three or four things about diarrhea, but you need to create your own conclusion.

When teachers educate students, they often provide them with facts or theories to support the points that they are trying to make. This makes a lot of sense to a rational person who is trying to get an education. If the teachers can't answer the questions from their students, they're going to have a difficult time teaching the class.

If the Old Testament tells us that there is one God and this one God is jealous and could easily become upset, if God's followers choose to worship another God. Only later to find out that a New Testament was written and will now be adding an additional God onto the list to be worshiped.

It's easy for a teacher who teaches out of the Holy Bible to give standardized answers like the Trinity, when their students start asking questions about Jesus and God, but wasn't the Trinity invented by a small group of men, that were trying to make some sense out of another problem that was created by the Old Testament.

The Bible would be a lot easier to teach from, if they didn't make contradictory statements that seem to create more questions than answers. I don't know how long it's going to take, to find the answers to these questions, but they seem to keep piling up year after year.
