60 QUESTIONS

Prepared by some workers, the following questions are, more or less, common ones that people of various persuasions--or none at all--ask friends and workers about their faith and practices.  It was hoped the questions would stimulate people to search the scriptures to sort out the difference between clear scriptural teaching and individual preference or tradition; to get some personal answers for themselves, as well as preparing them to talk more intelligently with others, rather than responding with, "I'll have to ask the workers about that." Some questions may have some very obvious scriptural answers, while others are more a matter of individual outlook. The questions were deliberately worded in a manner that might be asked by people unfamiliar with the 2x2 fellowship. No answers were provided, as that would defeat the purpose of the exercise.

This sheet lists a number of questions you may be asked by people curious about your faith. In the interest of always being prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have (1 Peter 3:15), it may be helpful for you to be meditating, studying, and praying about these questions. You will get more benefit out of answering these questions if you write a paragraph to answer each one, including a number of scripture references. Since the answer to each question depends on personal conviction, and each individual must come to that conviction before God, please do not make copies of your own answers to pass around to others. We will certainly be glad to discuss your answers with you, if you wish to do so.
