When was the beginning?

The Question:

John The Baptist Question of Christ:

 Did John doubt the existence of the true Christ? Did John doubt God's word to him? What is John really asking? How to tell the future from Christ's lesson.

The Question:

In The book of Luke, chapter 7:19-20, why did John, (now in prison) send his disciples to ask Jesus if he is the one or is there another? It's mentioned twice in the verses so it's... (continue reading)
