Mission Statement
An evidence-first alternative to one-sided Bible answers.
BibleProCon.org exists to help you investigate the Bible’s most debated questions by comparing the strongest defensible arguments, the relevant passages in context, and the historical evidence—without requiring the answers to fit a denomination, creed, or predetermined conclusion.
The articles are free. The purpose is to give you the sources, competing interpretations, and important objections you need to weigh the evidence and decide for yourself.
An alternative to answers shaped by doctrinal commitments
Sites such as Got Questions, Catholic Answers, Apologetics Press, Answers in Genesis, and CARM offer answers within stated Christian commitments. Their missions include explaining, defending, or promoting the faith. Some are denominational; others describe themselves as nondenominational while maintaining definite theological positions.
Those commitments matter when evaluating their answers. Catholic Answers, for example, explicitly commits to keeping its content faithful to the Catholic Church’s teaching authority. Answers in Genesis states that evidence cannot be valid if it contradicts what the organization understands to be Scripture’s clear teaching. These are openly stated approaches, not accusations about hidden motives. Catholic Answers’ mission and standards; Answers in Genesis’ statement of faith.
BibleProCon offers a different approach: the doctrine itself remains open to examination. When a denominational answer is in tension with a biblical passage, its context, or the historical evidence, that tension belongs in the discussion. A theological position should not be protected by leaving out the passages that make it difficult to defend.
That does not mean dismissing apologetics or assuming skeptical arguments are correct. Christian arguments deserve accurate presentation and serious consideration. So do Jewish interpretations, historical scholarship, and objections from critics. A weak argument does not become strong because it supports belief or disbelief.
Investigating the whole Bible
The Hebrew Bible is not treated here merely as background material for answers supplied by the New Testament. Its teachings about forgiveness, righteousness, covenant, worship, and the future deserve consideration in their own settings.
For example, an answer about getting right with God should examine the Hebrew Bible’s teachings about repentance, justice, restitution, sacrifice, and forgiveness, not begin and end with Christian claims about faith in Jesus. A discussion of the new covenant should address Jeremiah’s promise of God’s Torah written within Israel and Judah. A discussion of future worship should not omit Ezekiel’s priests and sacrifices, Isaiah’s Sabbath observance, or Zechariah’s festival requirements.
The New Testament’s responses and reinterpretations also deserve careful examination. But they are not assumed to settle the meaning of earlier passages for every reader.
The Bible contains different voices, genres, historical settings, and sometimes competing teachings. Recognizing those differences does not mean declaring every difference a contradiction. A proposed reconciliation should explain the relevant wording, audience, circumstances, and assumptions. It should be presented as an interpretation to evaluate, not as something the earlier passage necessarily says.
Later sources—including the Nicene Creed, rabbinic writings, and denominational statements—can help explain how beliefs developed. They are identified as later sources rather than substituted for the biblical text.
The questions explored here
The collection of 50 common Bible questions addresses both familiar personal concerns and larger questions about biblical authority:
Forgiveness and acceptance with God: What do repentance, conduct, faith, and sacrifice accomplish in different passages? Must someone believe in Jesus to be accepted by God?
Sex, marriage, and relationships: Do biblical texts treat all premarital sex alike? How do divorce and remarriage rules differ? What do the passages about same-sex relationships actually address?
Religious leadership and practice: What do the texts say about women teaching and leading, baptism, tithing, tongues, spiritual gifts, and religious guidance?
Suffering, prayer, and the afterlife: Do the books give one explanation for suffering or unanswered prayer? How do their accounts of death, resurrection, judgment, and hope compare?
Torah and the future: Is the law permanent? What do the texts anticipate for circumcision, sacrifices, Sabbath, food laws, priesthood, and festivals under a restored covenant and kingdom?
Jesus, prophecy, and historical claims: What evidence supports the resurrection claim? What did the earlier prophetic passages mean? Does a claimed fulfillment satisfy their stated expectations, or depend on a later reinterpretation?
Other articles examine topics such as tattoos, alcohol, gambling, Cain’s wife, Satan, the Trinity, the rapture, and why biblical collections contain different books.
These are investigations of the evidence and interpretations, not simply explanations of what one religious tradition expects its members to believe.
What you get for free
Alongside the question-and-answer articles, BibleProCon provides debate cheat sheets on the resurrection, whether the apostles would have died for a lie, the darkness at the crucifixion, the Shroud of Turin, miracle claims, end-times prophecy, and whether Jesus fulfilled prophecy.
The aim is to make serious arguments understandable without concealing their weaknesses. Relevant sources let you check quotations, examine surrounding passages, and distinguish an established fact from an inference or disputed claim.
Fairness does not require giving every position equal weight. It requires representing each position accurately and letting the quality of the evidence determine how much confidence it deserves.
About the author and the standard
I’m a former evangelical Christian. I have conclusions of my own, but readers should not have to share them to benefit from this work. Christianity’s truth, Jesus’ messianic status, and the Bible’s complete agreement are questions to investigate—not premises every article requires you to accept.
No author is free from assumptions or incapable of error. The standard here is therefore practical: quote accurately, include significant counterevidence, distinguish text from interpretation, acknowledge uncertainty, and correct mistakes.
Put the articles to the test. Check the sources. Read the surrounding passages. Compare the strongest competing explanations. If a key verse is missing or an argument has been misrepresented, point it out.
The purpose is not to tell you which conclusion you must reach. It is to help you reach a better-informed one.
