Please be sure to answer the posed question directly.
It is often helpful to address underlying questions as well, but we always
want to make sure to answer the actual question, too.
Please use Scripture to support your answer. Our
answers should be grounded in God’s Word, and we want to demonstrate to
questioners how to use the Bible appropriately.
Please feel free to model to questioners how to study
the Bible on one’s own. In giving an answer, you can also show how you
arrived there.
Please err on the side of grace and address questioners
as if they are asking a genuine question and you are talking with them
face-to-face. Both the content and the tone of the response should
demonstrate truth and love.
Please keep in mind that these answers are being read
on screens. Thus answering concisely yet completely is much appreciated.
You can always use links to GotQuestions.org articles to fill in
foundational information or as a further resource. You can also invite
questioners to follow up with any additional questions.
