The subjects discussed in this book are serious. Why are they serious? Because God is framing and asking questions that demand an answer. He is not asking rhetorical questions. He expects a definitive answer from us for each of them. A serious God is asking serious questions about serious issues and He expects us to take both Him and the questions seriously. In addition to God's questions, there will also be questions asked by different individuals. Those questions are in terms of what should be known by them from the Law and the Prophets. The Holy Scriptures contain many questions. Some of them are posed by The Lord to His people and followers. Others are posed to His opponents - teachers of the Law and the Pharisees - those who believed they represented righteous standards for the people to obey and follow. This book will examine some of those questions and attempt to ascertain the underlying query posed by those followers and opponents. There are also questions posed by individuals regarding various matters of life and practical applications to faith and practice, which are enlightening. These are not idle questions but those that allow us to know more about the heart and mind of the Lord for His people. By pursuing them and the ensuing answers, it is the hope that each of us will become more aware of the presence of God and His will for us.
