Asking questions but not always giving answers
There are questions the Bible answers: What is love? Love is “patient, kind, not envious or boastful, arrogant, or rude” (1 Cor. 13:4). Who is my neighbor? My neighbor is “the one who showed mercy” (Luke 10:37). Some questions the Bible does not answer and should reside in God’s grace and human compassion: What is reproductive justice? Can I leave an abusive partner or spouse?
