What happens when someone asks me a question that I dont know the answer to? When you are faced with a question to which you have no answer, there is only one response. Be honest! You should say, I dont know the answer to that, but this is what I do know... And you then bring the conversation back to the heartissues.
Our model for this kind of a response is the blind man, healed by Jesus, who in John 9:25 answered his detractors in this way:...
I dont know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!
Never be worried if you dont have all the answers to an unbelievers objections. What you do have is the Answer to his life! Paraphrasing Peter and Johns words in Acts 3:6, you can say, [All the answers] I do not have, but what I have I give you...
The theologian Karl Barth was once asked in his old age what was the most profound idea he had ever had, in his many years of theologizing. He instantly replied:
Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
