Got Questions
by S. Michael Houdmann
Who is God? Did Jesus really exist? How could the story of Jonah possibly be true? Is there life after death? What is the way of salvation? Is hell real? Is the Bible really God's word? Why is premarital sex sinful? Who is the antichrist? Does Israel play a role in the end of the world? Will my pets go to heaven?
When S. Michael Houdmann set up a simple "question and answer" webpage ten years ago he had no idea it would turn into what it is today – www.GotQuestions.org, a massive website complete with over 4,100 articles and 250+ volunteer writers dedicated to answering every Bible-related question being typed into Google from computers all over the world. Watch a video about GotQuestions.org.
This blog, written from Houdmann's personal perspective, aims to give additional insight and perspective on the various questions asked and answered on GotQuestions.org. If you would like to ask a burning question of your own, please visit this page now!
