Some uses of rhetorical questions are to express strong emotions, to rebuke or scold someone, to introduce a topic to talk about, or to teach something by reminding people of something they know and encouraging them to apply it to something new. -<<<<<<< Updated upstream -======= -A rhetorical question is a question that strongly expresses the speaker's attitude toward something. Often the speaker is not looking for information at all, but if he is asking for information, it is not usually the information that the question appears to ask for. The speaker is more interested in expressing his attitude than in getting information. - ->Those who stood by said, "Is this how you insult God's high priest?" (Acts 23:4 ULB) - -The people who asked Paul this question were using the question to accuse Paul of insulting the high priest. They were not asking him to describe his way of insulting God’s high priest. - -The Bible contains many rhetorical questions. Some of the purposes of these rhetorical questions are to express attitudes or feelings, to rebuke people, to teach something by reminding people of something they know and encouraging them to apply it to something new, and to introduce something they want to talk about. - ->>>>>>> Stashed changes ### Reasons this is a translation issue * Some languages do not use rhetorical questions; for them a question is always a request for information.
