At the suggestion of one of our writers (thank you, Chris Dupre!), we’re compiling a list of recommended resources for our volunteers. Please tell us what websites, books, tools, etc. you use to help with your answers or in your own Christian walk. It would be great if you could include a little blurb about what the site or tool offers and whether it is free to use. Please email your suggestions to Gwen@GotQuestions.org by May 20th.
Got Questions now has a “company” page on LinkedIn (thank you, Kristi-Joy!). We’d love for you to connect with us there. And if you want to list us as a place you volunteer, you can now do that and it will link directly to our page. Just start typing our name and we should show up in the drop-down list. Also be sure to follow us!
Question: Hello, Does the Bible say anything about a person refusing to offer a business service to another person due to moral/religious values? Thanks Jorge
Answered by: Ed Romero, who has been a volunteer with us since July 2011.
Answer: Hi, Jorge! Thank you for question. This is a really nuanced subject which really isn't black and white. The Bible doesn't say (that I know of) to whom we can or can't offer services. However, it does give us permission to buy from pagans. For example, in 1 Corinthians, they were allowed to even buy meat . . .
“Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” – James 1:16-18 (ESV)

This is a question of mine that I thought I would ask at the best place I know to ask questions. What are good arguments that Israel cannot be the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53?

Robert Lowry Because the verses so clearly describe the person of Jesus, rather than a nation? (just like 42:1-9 and 49:1-7)

"What are the qual for a woman to teach a women's bible study?
Specifically there's a lady in my church that will be leading our ladies, but she doesn't attend any functions outside of church, including Sunday School, all of which she used to do. Something's off and I know my pastor is aware of this and has spoken to her. He just encouraged us to be like the Bereans and test everything, . . .
