What does the Bible say? Honest answers to hard questions
The Bible never mentions vaping, law-of-attraction manifesting, going to therapy, artificial intelligence or dating a non-Christian, yet it speaks to each of them, sometimes directly. These pages show the passages behind each question, printed from the King James Version and explained in plain English, and say honestly where Christians disagree.

James 4:13–15
Is manifesting a sin? What the Bible says about manifesting and prayer
Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

How these answers are written
Each page opens with a short answer, then walks through the verses behind it, with old KJV words explained (see KJV words that changed meaning). When the Bible speaks directly, we say so. When it doesn't, we show the principles Christians reason from and keep that reasoning separate from the text (more on how this site is written).
Read each verse in its chapter, with your Bible open. And some sayings quoted as Scripture aren't in it; see Not in the Bible.
When Christians disagree
Paul wrote to Roman believers split over food and holy days:
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Some held certain days sacred; others didn't. Paul calls these "doubtful disputations" (verse 1), disputes over opinion, not the core of the faith. He had his own view on food (verse 14), but he tells each believer to settle their conviction before God. Neither side should look down on or condemn the other (verses 3, 4 and 10). He also warns against tripping up a fellow believer, even if it means giving up a freedom (verses 13 and 21).
Christians still disagree about which questions belong in that category. These pages lay out the main views fairly, and your pastor or a mature Christian you trust can help you weigh them.
Ask your own question
If your question isn't here, ask it in the BibleGPT app for iPhone and Android. An AI writes the answer, grounded in Bible passages the app looks up, and names the ones it draws on (how BibleGPT answers). AI can still misquote a verse, so check any quote it gives you. If you doubt AI belongs in Bible study at all, start with is it a sin to use AI for Bible study?
