If your question is not already answered by our archived material, click on the "Ask Question" choice above to submit your question. We have a group of qualified volunteers who would be glad to offer straight-forward, scriptural answers to your questions regarding the Bible. You can also use this same feature to sign up for a periodic distribution of a featured answer/article as well as notify our webmaster of any technical problems you encounter with our site.
History. Part of the work of the Holly Street church is this website. Most of the Bible Questions articles were authored by a former Holly Street preacher, Don Martin. They initially appeared in an area newspaper on a weekly basis from 1992 until 1998, and were later used to create this website in 1998. That is why you may encounter references to "dm" in some of the articles.
These articles have been controversial to some because they teach plain truths from God's word that are opposed to modern day thinking. We believe the questions along with their Biblical answers are relevant today. We invite you to carefully consider the Questions and just as carefully consider the Answers. We encourage you to be like those of Berea in Acts 17:11, "Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word all readiness of mind, examining the scriptures daily, whether these things were so".
It is our prayer that you will find this website useful in your quest for The Truth. We welcome your Bible questions and any comments you might have.

External References Disclaimer. If you were to do a thorough scrub of our website as well as of our answers to submitted questions, you would find a number of "external" references we use by those who are not associated with the churches of Christ. Examples include Smith’s Bible Dictionary, Easton’s Bible Dictionary, Vine’s Expository Dictionary, the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Ken Ham’s “Answers in Genesis” website, the "Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry" (CARM) website, and commentaries by Matthew Henry, Albert Barns, & others. On occasion, we are asked why we use such references. This is because they teach the truth on a particular subject. Use of them in one subject does not mean we endorse all they teach. The same could be said in using references by members of the churches of Christ.
Therefore, when you use our website and/or receive an answer from us to your submitted question, use caution and discernment with any "external" references you read about. We cannot give you a blanket endorsement of everything such references might have. Candidly, we would urge you to use the same caution and discernment with the material we produce. We are not inspired nor infallible. So be diligent and study the material carefully for yourself (especially the scripture references). Be a "Berean": "Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so." Acts 17:11 (NASV)
