This blog is intended to write down answers from Hank Hanegraaf (The Bible Answer Man) and to look further into the Bible to have the answers written down. EQUIP.org has loads of great resources that you can check out and I am looking forward to purchasing products from there as well. The purpose for this blog is that I listen to the Bible Answer Man podcast and talk about the answers with my wife and children, and even co-workers, but would like to type it out so that I can have quick reference to answers and it also helps me to understand deeper when I am writing it in my own words. This blog is just my own personal blog to do the above mentioned and is not associated with Hank Hanegraaf or CRI or Equip.org.
