This issue is dedicated to making it easier to talk to others about the Bible and its teachings.

“How to Talk to Non-Christians about Jesus Christ” explains that it may be first necessary to show how credible the Bible is (unlike counterfeits). The Law was fair and it pointed to Jesus Christ, the hope of life eternal.

“How to Talk from the Heart about the Ransom” reminds us that our attitude can blunt our message. “How to Talk to other Christians about Jesus’ Ransom Sacrifice” shows from the Bible how Jesus is a ransom, a substitutionary atonement, for Adam and hence for us and all his descendants.

Scriptures about death and hell are discussed in “How to Talk to Believers about Death and Hell.” What is hell, and what will happen to it? Did Jesus promise hell to the thief on the cross?

“The Nature of God” suggests some simple questions about the Trinity doctrine(s). Twenty-four scriptures historically used by Arians (non-trinitarians) are listed. Scriptures concerning the Socinian view are also considered.

“How to Talk to Scientists and Engineers about God” reminds us that some people want evidence, not dogma. There is sound evidence for faith and it should be presented respectfully.

Beginning with Revelation 20:1-6, “The Object and Manner of Christ’s Return” shows why Christ’s return is not visible. Christians responding to the return do so for a period of time before Armageddon and the subsequent resurrection of the world. Then, “Interesting Estimates” calculates that planet Earth is big enough for the resurrection of all mankind, the time appropriate to it, the need for a long Judgment Day, and the time required if everyone across the Earth would literally see Christ.

For over a century, every major world event has systematically been restoring Israel, shown in “How to Talk to People about Israel.” Then “How to Talk to Others” adds a few words on how to discreetly discuss Bible teachings.

“How to Talk to People about ALL the Nations” asks, If Jesus died for all, should not ALL benefit? Israel’s return portends the blessing for all in Christ’s thousand year kingdom.
