How many question marks are there in the Bible?

Answer 1

Oh honey, I don't have time to count every single question mark in The Bible, but let me tell you this: there are a heck of a lot of questions in there. From "Am I my brother's keeper?" to "Why have you forsaken me?", those ancient folks sure knew how to ask some deep stuff. If you're really curious, grab a Bible and start counting - just don't forget to take a snack break halfway through.

Answer 2

Oh, what a delightful question! In the Bible, there are no question marks as we use them in modern language. Instead, questions are often posed in a more poetic or rhetorical manner. The beauty of the Bible lies not in punctuation marks, but in the wisdom and guidance it offers to those who seek it.
