“What would the world be like if Adam and Eve had never sinned? Or do you think it would be pretty much the same as it is right now?”
“I don't have any use for someone who puts on a big show and claims to be a good Christian when they're in church or with religious people, but then acts like a harsh tyrant around their family. My uncle is like this, and I can't stand that kind of hypocrisy.”
“My girlfriend keeps getting after me because I use words like “God” and “Jesus” in my ordinary speech. I don’t mean anything by it or think of them as cuss words, and anyway, everyone uses them (even on TV), but she says I ought to be more respectful. Would you agree with her?”
“What will we look like when we get to heaven? My grandmother died a few months ago at the age of 97, and I wonder if she'll look old like she did when she died, or if she'll be young and beautiful, like she once was.”
“For several years, my husband and I tried to start a family, and finally last year I got pregnant. But last month the baby was stillborn, and it has broken our hearts. Why would God let something like this happen to us? We both feel so devastated.”
“Does the devil ever give up on us and let us alone because he knows we won’t listen to him? With God’s help, I’ve been able to deal with some really bad problems in my life, but sometimes I wonder if the temptation to fall back into my old ways will ever go away.”
“All my life I've heard the expression, "God helps those who help themselves," and I think our society would be a lot better off if people practiced it by working harder. Where is it found in the Bible?”
“It seems like every few months our pastor preaches on stewardship (which is a polite way of making us feel guilty because we don’t give more money to the church). Frankly, I get tired of it, and so do lots of other people. Should someone tell him, or should we just suffer in silence?”
“I retired about three years ago, and at first it was great because we were able to travel and do all the other things we had wanted to do. But now we've done all that, and I'm bored. I never thought retirement would be this way. Any suggestions?”
“How can we know if there is life after death? I’d like to think there is but I don’t see any scientific reason to believe in it. Once a person is dead, that’s the end of everything, in my view. Or am I overlooking something?”
“Why did God allow Jesus to be put to death? Wouldn't it have been better for God to have let Jesus keep on living?”
“What caused Judas to turn against Jesus and betray Him to the authorities? After all, he’d been with Jesus during His ministry and seen all His miracles and everything, hadn’t he? It’s never made sense to me.”
