“I pray and pray for God's forgiveness for the things I've done wrong, but nothing ever changes and I know He hasn't forgiven me. Has God already condemned me, and there isn't anything I can do to get His forgiveness?”
“Do you think religion might be in danger of going out of existence some day? I suppose you'll say no, and I agree with you, but sometimes I wonder because our society has become so secular and indifferent to God. Many people today don't even seem to think about God.”
“My wife and I have been going through some hard times recently because of my unemployment, but our families won't help us. In fact, they don't even act like they care. They didn't want us to get married, and I know that's part of the problem. But they claim to be Christians, so shouldn't they help us at least a little bit?”
“I read that Jesus didn't really die, but only appeared to be dead.”
“When I was younger, I didn't have any use for God, and in fact, I even denied God existed. Now I've become a Christian, but someone told me recently that God won't forgive anyone who denies Him. Is this true? This has really upset me, because now I'm wondering if I'm even a Christian.”
“Why didn't Jesus try to escape from those who were out to get Him, instead of deliberately putting Himself at risk and ending up getting arrested and killed? If He had gone on living, He could have done a great deal of good and helped a lot more people, it seems to me.”
“Why were Jesus' disciples so frightened after He was arrested and crucified? Hadn't He told them He was going to be put to death and come back to life?”
“Recently, I heard someone claim that the Bible is full of hidden codes or messages, and that we could even find out what's going to happen in the future if we unravel these codes. Is there anything to this?”
“Why did the crowds cheer Jesus when He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey shortly before His crucifixion—but then turn against Him and demand the Roman governor put Him to death? Why did they change their minds?”
“How many times a day should I pray? I don't come from a religious family, so I have a lot of questions, but I do want to do what's right.”
“Thank you for answering a question recently about pornography. I’ve been hooked on Internet porn for several years, and I always excused it by saying it wouldn’t hurt me. But now I know better, and God is helping me break free. It’s still a struggle, however, so please pray for me.”
“Do you believe dying people sometimes have a glimpse of heaven? I took care of my aunt when she was dying of cancer, and toward the end she couldn't talk, but sometimes she would raise her hands toward heaven, as if she was reaching out to the angels to take her home. Might this be true?”
