Introduction

"Ask Anything" is a class at Cedars Church on Sunday mornings in for the Summer of 2019. We have asked each participate to bring their top 3-4 questions that they or someone in their inner circle has asked about the Bible or the Christian faith or practice. A question that maybe was hard to answer to that you felt you could not give a satisfactory answer. This forum is a place were we all can discuss the questions and go beyond our class to search out the answers. Also we may not have enough time to answer all of the questions so this discussion board will be a place to put all of the questions. As we banter back and form remember to do so in a peaceful and loving way and seek to understand not just to be heard.

Here is a list of the questions we gathered from the first class. There will be posts for each so you can respond to the ones you want in those threads. The below questions are listed in sections corresponding to the areas of Theology we cover in The Theology Program.
