Matthew 2:13-15 records that Joseph took the young child and his mother by night and fled to Egypt because Herod sought to destroy him. Scripture plainly describes a forced flight to a foreign land, though the word refugee never appears in the text.

Hitler claimed to be a Christian and belonged to a church, yet Jesus' test in Matthew 7 turns on fruit rather than profession. Scripture gives us the tools to answer honestly.

Scripture never calls David illegitimate. The tension in 1 Samuel 16 is not about his birth but about his place in Jesse's family and God's freedom to choose the overlooked son.

The Bible answers the question of life after death not with speculation but with the resurrection of Jesus. Because Christ has been raised, those who belong to him have a future beyond the grave.

Jesus' words about the disciple whom he loved sparked a rumor that John would not die. John 21:20-24 corrects that rumor and redirects our attention to following Christ.

Scripture presents Heaven not as a vague feeling or a wishful idea but as the throne room of God and the future home of His people. Revelation 21:1-5 describes the end of that story: a new heaven and new earth, and God dwelling with humanity.

John 8:58 records Jesus saying, before Abraham came into existence, I AM. The question is whether that claim and the rest of the New Testament identify him with Yahweh, the God of Israel.

Hannah's song confesses that Yahweh kills and makes alive, brings down to Sheol and brings up. Scripture treats the timing of every death as appointed by God, while still holding humans responsible for how they treat life.

The question of whether God is angry with you is answered at the cross, not by your feelings. Romans 5 grounds peace with God in Christ's death for the ungodly, not in your performance.

God is not irrational, but he is not confined to our reasoning either. Isaiah 55:8-9 distinguishes God's thoughts from ours without making him arbitrary or incoherent.

Paul's question in Romans 9 is not whether God is harsh but whether he is unjust. The answer: God is never unrighteous, yet his mercy and hardening follow a wisdom deeper than our accounting.

Psalm 14:1 is often quoted as a proof text against atheism, but the verse is aiming at something closer to home: the functional denial of God that shapes how anyone, believer or not, actually lives.

Calvinism is not heresy in the historic sense, because it affirms the Trinity, the incarnation, and salvation by grace through faith. Yet Romans 9 is a genuinely contested passage, and faithful Christians read it differently.

Fasting in Scripture is a voluntary setting aside of food to seek God, not a performance for people. Jesus assumes his followers will fast, and he tells them to do it quietly before the Father who sees in secret.

The Bible never states Adam's height. Genesis presents him as made in God's image and formed from dust, which is a claim about dignity and calling, not about centimetres or feet.

The Bible never states Paul's age when he died. Acts and his letters give us a rough sketch of his life stage, but any exact figure is an estimate built on assumptions.

Deuteronomy 34:7 states that Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died, with his eye not dim and his natural force not abated. Deuteronomy 31:2 records him telling Israel he could no longer go out and come in.

Scripture never gives Mary's age. What we can say is that she was a betrothed virgin of marriageable age in first-century Galilee, which by the customs of that time most likely placed her in her early to mid teens.

Genesis does not give Isaac's age when Abraham bound him on Mount Moriah. The details of the narrative suggest a young man, not a small boy, and that changes how we read the story. Here is what the text does and does not establish.

The Bible never gives David's age when he faced Goliath. It does give his age when he became king, and that single anchor is what every estimate depends on.
