“I know from time to time people ask you if a small child is too young to come to Jesus, but what about someone who's very old? Do we ever get so old that God gets tired of having us repeatedly refuse Him, and He's not going to give us any more opportunities?”
“Do you think the old quip is true, that some Christians are so heavenly-minded that they aren't any earthly good? I've met some who are like this, but I guess I shouldn't generalize and say it's true of all Christians, should I?”
“Is it wrong for us to fear death, even when we believe that we'll be going to heaven after we die? I admit I don't want to die, and I'm even afraid of dying, although I believe in Jesus and know I'll go to be with Him when I die.”
“How did Jesus' death make it possible for us to go to heaven? I've never really understood how one man's death could give us eternal life.”
“What is the main difference between earth and heaven — assuming heaven actually exists?”
“Why do you think most people still believe in some kind of life after death, even if they aren't particularly religious or don't think very much about it?”
“Our brother always told us he was going to wait until he was old to give his life to Jesus. That way (he said) he could have a good time but still end up in heaven. But now he's developed Alzheimer's and it's too late. Please warn people to give their lives to Jesus while they can, or they might end up like our brother has.”
“Some of my friends talk about being born again but I don't understand what they mean. I know it has something to do with Jesus, but I've never been religious and I guess I'm kind of in a fog. What exactly does it mean?”
“I feel guilty over some things I've done, and I've prayed and prayed for God to forgive me, but I guess He's not going to, is He?”
“I've heard preachers say that we won't be bored in heaven because God will have work for us to do there, but won't we get tired then? I thought heaven was supposed to be a place of rest.”
“My cousin has some serious emotional issues (including periods of depression) but he won’t get help. He says true Christians can’t be mentally ill, since God lives in their hearts. Is he right?”
“I don't see how anyone can take the Bible seriously, since it was written thousands of years ago and we know so much more today. Maybe it was OK for people then, but we live in a different world.”
