2. Why is God allowing me to work a full time job and still be poor?
3. Why are there innocent children dying of starvation, and they don't understand it at all?
4. Where is God when you need help?
5. How come God won't take away my anxiety?
6. If I ask for strength, how come I do not receive it?
7. I ask for a better paying job, why haven't I been given one. (Trust, I've tried)
8. Why hasn't God struck down the Islamic extremists, racists, murderers, etc who stain this society and not allow our children to be safe to play outside?
9. How far would your church go if they stopped receiving money?
10. Why isn't God blatantly obvious, such as waking up in the morning, and there he is in the sky watching over us?
11. Why does a perfect God give us an imperfect book of guidelines?
12. Why not proof, instead of apologetics?
13. How many ministers do you see driven by ego instead of '; the right thing'; (Falwell, etc.)
14. Why do Christians seem to be on the lowest rung of the financial ladder consistently?
15. Why do we pay money to a church that depends on the broken (people), when the broken never get fixed?
16. Why did Jesus pick crappy note-takers as disciples?
17. Would an all-knowing loving God send you to hell for eternity, or let you stay there until you did your time?
18. Why were we given private parts, but not aloud to play with them?
(sorry, had to ask)
19. Why are we given free will, if there's pre-destination? That would give us a chance to ruin our own destiny.
20. If Adam and Eve weren't supposed to eat from the tree, why was it there? who was it there for?
Secondly, don't tell me any of this is human responsibility, God can do anything with the snap of his fingers. That's why He is God.I am a struggling Christian....answer these questions please. I could use the advice.?
Isaiah 55:9 says ';my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts';. If you truly seek God, you will find God. You may not find what you want, or when you want it, because knows you better than you know yourself. God is a God of promises, not explanations. If he gave you an explanation, you either wouldn't like it, or wouldn't understand it. Romans 12;2 reads, ';Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.'; Matthew 6:33 reads ';But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well';. If you really are seeking God, these scriptures provide some keys. First know that your flesh will be for the rest of your life trying to drag you back where you came from. By daily renewing of your mind with Gods word, you equip, or build up your spirit. Eventually your spirit becomes stronger than your flesh. It is then that YOU will begin to hear Gods voice. Second when your ';focus'; gets going in the direction of the crappy stuff going on in this world, change your focus upon God and allow him to teach you his ways and his character. Then, as his word says, ALL THINGS WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. Knowledge, character, increase in relationships, health, finances, career, whatever. God had an entire plan for you before you were created. This is what predestination speaks of. But we all have a free will that will allow us to make choices that are contrary to that plan. Sounds like a situation where a person could get themselves ibto a bind or two, doesn't it? Start with developing your own intimate relationship with Christ and God. He is your Father, your Daddy. He wants you to want to be close to him.I am a struggling Christian....answer these questions please. I could use the advice.?
If you have these questions, your expectation of God is not being met. So you probably do not have a correct concept of him. Another explanation would be that god does not exist.
Some questions can only be questioned by God Himself, but priests/ministers might help you with these questions.
With god out of the picture it sounds like you do not have any problems at all
Dude, stop whining, sack up and live life.
with all your problems you need an obama bailout
Fallwell is dead and you arent. Now who is worse off, you or him?
You owe Y!A 95 points.
and the Lord said....Where's my money fool!
keep mocking Him
He will remember
1. Yes you can
2. God gave you a brain to use, why didn't you use it and further your education?
3. This is because of the devil, not God, Satan is controlling the earth.
4. Did you ever ask God with all of your heart for help and he never showed up?
5. God never gives us more that what we can handle. Anxiety comes from the devil, so until you truly start believing with all of your heart and asking God to take away your anxiety, it won't happen.
6. Maybe because God wants to teach you how to rely on him before he gives you strength. You need to ask without doubting, if you doubt you will not receive.
7. Are you asking for the kingdom of God first? The bible says ';seek first the kingdom of God, and his love, and all these things shall be added unto you';
8. Again this is the devils playground, these people will be judged accordingly to their sins. As for our children being safe, God loves us but most of all children because of their child like faith and innocence. They will automatically be with God.
9. The churches that are strong in spirit are rich, because true believers know the importance of giving and are happy to do it, esp. to those who are less fortunate. Churches that are just looking for money are not real with God.
10. In the world, you only believe what you see. In Gods world, you have to believe before you see, but if you do believe in your heart and love God with all of your heart, he will show you that he's there for you.
11. God is perfect and his words are perfect. Go read
Timothy 2, chapter 3 verses 16 and 17.
12. Again, if you believe in Jesus and love him and have a relationship with him, such as reading his words, talking to him, praising him, he will show you himself. God is looking for people that truly love and obey him, if you do he will show you what you want to know.
13. Not everyone who preaches the word of God is real with God, and God will use them now for his glory, but when the time comes God will judge according to sin. This is not for us to judge, leave it to God. Read John 1 chapter 3, verses7-11.
14. Not all christians are poor. In fact, God gives to those who believe so that we may be a blessing to others. Jesus said 'If you give, you shall receive'; in Luke chaper 6, verse 38. God promises to never let his people be in need, so if there's a need, they are doing something wrong because God's word is never wrong.
15.This is not for you to judge, you need to focus on God and his word, not what people do.
16. How do you figure? Some of them were well educated and some were not, but they all had the spirit of God in them when they were writing the new testament.
17. God loves the world and wants everyone in heaven with him. Hell was created for the devil and his demons, but it's up to us to choose whether we are going to hell or not. God doesn't throw us in hell, it's our choice. The bible says ';I put before you life or death, choose life'; so it is clearly our choice.
18. God created one man for one women, not many men for many women, one flesh, one body, anything other than that is not from God, it is from the devil.
19. Because then we would be like robots being controlled, God gave us a brain to be able to make our own choices, he wants you to love him freely, not because you have to.
20. God put the tree there so that Adam and Eve could make a choice not to eat from it. They were free to choose whether to eat from it or not. It was there for Adam and Eve. It's like drugs, or anything the devil offers, you choose to take it or not.
God loves you so much that he gave his life for you, he took our weakness, diseases, poorness, and all our sins on the cross and gave you instead health, prosperity, eternal life, riches, happiness, joy and all he wants is your heart. Give God your heart and you will see what he can do with it. God Bless You.
1. you don't have to be in a church to worship God. Jesus taught outside as well as the synagogues.
2.this one I do understand to well. I believe that God may have a use for you at that job, maybe witness to someone? maybe to show you that money isn't all you need?
3. I can't answer this one. someday we will know.who knows maybe he is trying to teach this world to think of others except uunfortunatelynot to many people are listening.
4.God is here when you need help. remember everything is in his time. Maybe he's trying to build faith in those who doubt by letting them go through their trials, even though we think we can't take much more he never gives us more then we can handle. I feel the stronger we are in our faith the quicker the trial ends.
5.Maybe he's trying to tell you to just trust in him through all your fears and worries.
6.Maybe you do but don't that he has given it to you so you don't feel it.
7.same answer as #2.
8.because believe it or not everyone is a child of God. and God will deal with those people in his way and his time. Remember everyone has to stand before God and account for what they have done here on earth.
9.it would probably cease to exist.
10. he is there when you wake up. has the sun risen? but I know that's not what you meant. man cannot look on the face of God. plus he can't be amongst sinners. He is holy. too many non believer in the world, don't you think?
11.you have to remember when it was written people spoke differently then we do. plus not ever word can be translated to english so that might have something to do with it. also Jesus spoke in a lot of parables. and also take the first four books of the new testament. they were each written for different cultures. if somebody was to write something today for say english people over in england they would use different words then they would for us.
12.there is proof, people refuse to see it.
13.too many. God did say that there would be false phrophets
14.because we are going to be rich in heaven. be thankful.
15.because God owns everything. your suppose to give with thanks even if you don't have much. and have faith that God will supply you with all you need.
16.no answering this one.
17.can't come back from hell once there. there is a passage in the bible about this but I am not sure where. sorry.
18. for the use when you are married.
19. God already knows who will follow him. those are the ones he predestined,
20. God probably wanted to see if man would trust him even back then.
everything boils down to having faith and trusting God. the more you do this the more you become christlike and believe it or not the more you do it the more peace you have in life and the more you want to know God.
do me a favor next time don't make it so long. lol
I am afraid you are going to have to work out this questions on your own. If you are old enough to ask these questions, you are old enough to find the answers yourself, because what feels and is right for someone else isn't necessarily the right answer for you. Do some serious research and come up with your own answers instead of asking them to be spoon-fed to you. God helps those who help themselves. He is not going to come down and personally answer all of life's questions for you, so quit thinking He will, because it isn't going to happen.
Jesus is the answer.
If God gave you all you want you'd follow him for the wrong reasons. He wants you to be content in just him. He provides all your needs, right? So stop crying and try thanking him for what he HAS given you. Frankly I don't believe you've ever trusted in Christ.
When things go wrong in our lives we tend to blame God for them. We think since he has all the power and can do anything at the snap of his fingers that there isnt supposed to be any wrong in the world or in our lives. That assumption is wrong. God doesnt ';make'; things happen, he allows us to have a choice. He is there to guide us, to listen to us, to bail us out and to teach us. Maybe God is trying to show you something or teach you something. Remember the saying God works in myseterious ways? its true, we cannot explain God or rationalize with the actions going on in the world today. All we know is that the devil rules this world and God is the one we cling too. If you trust in him he will help you, God loves you no matter what.
1. Can I have church at home amongst my family?
You can, but not with God's blessing - (Proverbs 18:1) . . .';One isolating himself will seek [his own] selfish longing; against all practical wisdom he will break forth.';
also see - (Hebrews 10:24-25) . . .';And let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, 25 not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as YOU behold the day drawing near.';
2. Why is God allowing me to work a full time job and still be poor?
God doesnt offer material riches, he just promises that his servants will not go without food if they put serving him first. When speaking to a large audience that included many poor people, Jesus said: “Observe intently the birds of heaven, because they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses; still your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? . . . So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on?’ For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.”—Matthew 6:26-33 When Jehovah brings an end to the rebelious human self rule, his kingdom (or government) will bring an end to poverty and hunger.
3. Why are there innocent children dying of starvation, and they don't understand it at all?
Know first that God did not want children to die. God does not take delight even in the destruction of the wicked, let alone the death of a child. (Compare 2 Peter 3:9.) Surely, he is deeply pained when a child dies. After all, we feel the tragedy of death only because we are able to love, to feel for its victims. And we are able to love only because we are made in God’s image. Clearly, then, God does not want any of his intelligent creatures to die. He purposes to end death, swallowing it up forever. (Isaiah 25:8) But if that is how he feels, why does he allow death in the meantime, particularly for children?
God allows children to die for the same reason that he allows adults to die. Death was Adam’s choice, not God’s. Even before Adam and Eve rebelled against their Creator in Eden, they both knew full well that God had set the death penalty for sin. If they had not chosen to be disloyal to God, they could still be alive today. But foolishly they threw away the most precious inheritance they could have passed on to their offspring—the right to perfect, eternal life on earth. Once they sinned, they were no longer perfect. All they could pass on to their offspring was sin and death.—Genesis 3:1-7; Romans 5:12.
When God’s Kingdom rules without opposition over this earth, millions of children will be resurrected and welcomed back from the dead. Like the parents whose children Jesus resurrected back to life in the first century C.E., many then will be “beside themselves with great ecstasy.” (Mark 5:42; Luke 8:56; John 5:28, 29) And when all mankind is at last restored to the perfect state that Adam and Eve lost, then never again will anyone die—children included!—Revelation 21:3, 4.
4. Where is God when you need help?
(Acts 17:26-27) . . .';And he made out of one [man] every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed times and the set limits of the dwelling of [men], 27 for them to seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him, although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us.';
We can turn to God in prayer at any time. If however we are only interested when we need something, and we have no genuine interest in obeying God, would he listen to a prayer like that?
5. How come God won't take away my anxiety?
Peace is a part of the fruitage of the holy spirit, but in order to recieve it, we must humbly submit ourselves to obey Jehovah, and study the bible to learn what he requires of us first.
6. If I ask for strength, how come I do not receive it?
See above
7. I ask for a better paying job, why haven't I been given one. (Trust, I've tried)
God encourages us not to strive after riches but to be content with sustenance and covering, he will bring about an end to suffering and paradise conditions when all will enjoy life, but only those willing to obey him will be allowed to see this first hand. - Rev 21:3,4
8. Why hasn't God struck down the Islamic extremists, racists, murderers, etc who stain this society and not allow our children to be safe to play outside?
He soon will, but he is giving everyone a chance to learn about him and choose to obey him before they have to be killed at armagedon.
9. How far would your church go if they stopped receiving money?
The kingdom hall do not have collections like most churches do, there is no tithing, and no passing of a plate, the litrature printed and distributed is not char
1. Can I have church at home amongst my family? YES HE SAID WHEN 2 OF MORE PPL ARE GATHERED IN MY NAME...
2. Why is God allowing me to work a full time job and still be poor? HE CANT GIVE EVERYONE EVERYTHING, AND THERE WILL BE A REASON WHY
3. Why are there innocent children dying of starvation, and they don't understand it at all? BECAUSE SATAN HAS FREE REIGN ON THE EARTH AT THE MOMENT TILL JESUS COMES BACK
4. Where is God when you need help? HE IS ALLWAYS THERE, BUT HE MAY NOT GIVE YOU THE HELP YOU EXPECT TO RECIEVE.
5. How come God won't take away my anxiety? YOU MUST HAVE SOMTHING TO LEARN FROM HAVING THIS ANXIETY...
6. If I ask for strength, how come I do not receive it? ARE YOU DEAD YET? ARE YOU MAKING IT THREW EVERYDAY? THEN YOU HAVE BEEN GIVIN THAT STRENGH, GOD TESTS US BUT WILL NEVER GIVE US MORE THEN WE CANT HANDLE..
7. I ask for a better paying job, why haven't I been given one. (Trust, I've tried) WHY DOES GOD HAVE TO GET U A JOB?
8. Why hasn't God struck down the Islamic extremists, racists, murderers, etc who stain this society and not allow our children to be safe to play outside? sAME AS BEFORE, SATAN HAS REIGN ON EARTH AT THE MOMENT
9. How far would your church go if they stopped receiving money? CHURCH ISNT ABOUT MONEY... AND ITS NOT A BUILDING EITHER... ITS PEOPLE GATHERED IN HIS NAME
10. Why isn't God blatantly obvious, such as waking up in the morning, and there he is in the sky watching over us? THEN WE WOULDNT HAVE FAITH
11. Why does a perfect God give us an imperfect book of guidelines? PASS
12. Why not proof, instead of apologetics? WE NEED FAITH. WHY DO U NEED PROOF?
13. How many ministers do you see driven by ego instead of '; the right thing'; (Falwell, etc.) HEAPS.
14. Why do Christians seem to be on the lowest rung of the financial ladder consistently? BECAUSE MONEY DOESNT MATTER TO THEM, AND THEY ARE NOT LIVING THERE LIFE FOR IT
15. Why do we pay money to a church that depends on the broken (people), when the broken never get fixed? HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY HAVNT BEEN FIXED
16. Why did Jesus pick crappy note-takers as disciples? PEOPLE LIVEED IN A DIFFERENT TIME, MOST PEOPLE COULDNT READ AND WRITE.
17. Would an all-knowing loving God send you to hell for eternity, or let you stay there until you did your time? READ THE BIBLE...
18. Why were we given private parts, but not aloud to play with them?
(sorry, had to ask) THERES NOTHING IN THE BIBLE ABOUT MASTERBATION BEING BAD
19. Why are we given free will, if there's pre-destination? That would give us a chance to ruin our own destiny. YES OF COURSE
20. If Adam and Eve weren't supposed to eat from the tree, why was it there? who was it there for? IT WAS THERE AS A TEST
you don't even sound christian, your here to purely mock us and have a joke on us, tell you what, read the bible properly then look at today's world, you might wanna change your heart
Let's go one by one. God bless you. I'm glad you still believe in God.
1. I guess you can have a church at home. If you are Protestant, there's no problem. If you are Catholic, go to Mass.
2. We should not question our stature in life. Others are far worse off. You never know what hidden blessing could be hidden in an apparant hardship. Thank God you even have a fulltime job.
3. Innocent children die because of evil people. Do all the good you can do and pray to God to inspire others, don't question Him. ==CONFORM ourselves to God and so transform the world. DO NOT blame God.
4. God is there. But He only answers the prayers that will ultimately be good for you. You must ask for what you think you need, but only God can know if it is truly beneficial. If it is, He will not begrudge it.
5. Give your suffering to God as a prayer. Jesus suffered to save us, remember His agony in the garden? Suffering itself had been raised to a high place. Do not waste it in anger.
6. What strength do you want? You have some strength, but not others. Use what God DID give you.
7. Do not question every hardship. It is hard to follow Christ, it is hard to live. Life is not easy or perfect, but do your best and TRUST IN GOD so you can be saved.
8. God tolerates evil and can even transform it into good. Again, no society will be perfect. Do not be angry, pray.
9. Not sure what you mean here.
10. God is about faith. You must believe without proof. First believe, and if you keep up then God will show Himself to you. But it is incumbent upon you to accept Him through faith.
11. Imperfect book og guidelines? Do you not believe in the Christian doctrine of inspired and inerrant scripture? There is no defect in the word of God. The defect is in how we live it.
12. Apologetics is proof. There are many logical reasons why God would exist. Many people know that God exists. Talk to someone who has been touched by Jesus.
13. Imperfect ministers say nothing of the truth and perfection of the word they preach. Local pastors, priests, and ministers usually want to help you, not make a fortune on TVm which does happen.
14. There are plenty of poor people everywhere. But perhaps Jesus was right when He told us how hard it is to follow Him. Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise. Maybe we should even sell everything that is left and follow Him.
15. Look for a new church if you dislike your church so much. A church can certainly be imperfect and wasteful. So find one that preaches well the perfect Word of God.
16. Once again, the Scripture is inspired and infallible.
17. Hell is just. God is so great and deserving of our love that to knowingly and blantatly refuse to follow Him only warrants separation. Indeed, Hell is implicitly what such people are asking for.
18. We can ';play'; with them in sex in marriage. The purpose of them is love between spouses and procreation. To eliminate, separate, or degrade these purposes of God is to misuse His wonderful creation. Respect your body, it is God's temple.
19.Pre-destination is BASED on free-will. Seeing that some would go to heaven, God pre-destined them. BECAUSE they were saved in the future due to free will and Jesus, God predestined them at the foundation of the world.
20. It was there to test their obedience to God. If disobedience was impossible, then free will does not exist and we are slaves.
God bless and Merry Christmas. I will pray for you.
1. The Church is simply a community of brothers and sisters in Christ. Your personal ';church'; can range from your family to your workplace to your body. It need not be contained within four walls and need not pass a collection plate every morning.
2. You are never given more obstacles in life than you can handle. God trusts that you can be at peace with the things you cannot change, and trust in Him to work with you to change the things that can be changed. And through it all, let all things pass in grace. I'm a gal with very little, monetarily, but I have family, friends and life experiences that are beyond measure. And without Christ, I'd still be poor, anyway.
3. Humans are wicked, and greed consumes.
4. Listening and responding, not according to our plans, but to His Plan.
5. Maybe God wants you to seek Him through scripture, or seek those you love. Please don't suffer alone.
6. God will answer your prayers, again, according to His time.
7. Same.
8. We can't blame God for our Godlessness.
9. I should hope that the Church will always be richer in Spirit than in money.
10. He isn't obvious, in that you've risen to another morning, and have a beautiful sky to look unto?
11. Because the Word is divinely ';inspired';, not divine.
12. Proof lies in the great and small things. Apologetics are the mere words of men. We do what we can, I think.
13. Too many, unfortunately.
14. I often see that Christians are on the highest rung of the financial ladder and think it's just as unfair. I think it may be an issue of demographics.
15. The church requires money as an institution, unfortunately, but gives back in spirit and community.
16. Haha, good question!
17. I only wish I knew.
18. Who says we're not allowed to play with them? God gave us our bodies to respect and love and play with.
19. Free will is ours, though God's plan will work its way.
20. Your parents love you, and want you to follow them, but they give you free will because they love you. The temptations of societal ruin are still there, but they must give you freedom to love them. What good is love if you're forced into it?
God can do it with a snap of His fingers, yes. But we're His children, not robots. These are just my opinions. I hope they give you some food for thought. :)
You really could have spread this out a bit you know.
1. yes where there are 2 who meet in my name I am there.
2. focus on your spirit not your worldly wealth. You are not poor in spirit.
3. What happens to the flesh is not important it is about the spirit.
4. He knows what you need so when you Truly need help he is there.
5. anxiety is a part of life. again focus on your spirit and not worldly things.
6. If you need strength you will receive it.
7. It doesn't work that way as a Christian you are not to focus on the worldly things you will receive the job that is needed.
8. He will judge all of us some day.
9. Where I fellowship we have no costs and collect very little and give it to the poor. We meet in a school and the men share the duties of prayer, communion and giving lessons. No paid positions no costs.So we would last no matter what.
10. If there was absolute proof then there would be no need for faith.
11. He doesn't what we need to know for our salvation is sound and has no interpretation.
12. Again no proof that would mean no need for faith.
13. can't count them but I don't believe that they are true Christian's
14. we are rich in spirit Jesus said the least will be the first in heaven.
15. Like I said where I fellowship that does not happen.
16. Don't know what you mean here. Seems fine to me.
17. No you made your choices. I personally do not know if hell will be for eternity. It is not up to me to question it.
18. Well you are in the sactity of marriage.
19 this is a good one. Picture it like this, The whole thing is a movie through out the movie the characters do things and make decisions so that is free will. Now God is timeless this is like God has already seen the movie and knows what you will choose. So in that sense it is pre-destine to him but was a free will choice for you.
20. Don't know maybe God just liked trees.
and where you said secondly it is really 21stly LOL
Sorry but it is each of our responsibility God made the rules just like in a baseball game do we get to change the rules when we feel like it? No sorry.
I came up with answers to these very questions, and then I became an atheist.
The answer to most of your questions is either ';because there is no God'; OR ';there is a god, but he doesn't care';.
And the reason why christians are on the lowest financial rung is first, because most of them expect god to fix their lives for them, so they don't try and make their lives better. or because they figure that poverty was god's plan for their lives, and they would be going against his wishes if they sought financial comfort. also education (or lack thereof) plays a part in both religious beliefs, and what kind of job one can get.
the answer to questions 16-20 is: because the bible is a combination of bedtime stories and ancient people trying to explain natural disasters/wonders. trying to get coherent guidelines for life in this day and age from that book is a doomed undertaking.
1. Can I have church at home amongst my family? You can but you need other Christians to help you grow too.
2. Why is God allowing me to work a full time job and still be poor? Have faith in Him He will provide your every need
3. Why are there innocent children dying of starvation, and they don't understand it at all? Sin, Man has messed up this world
4. Where is God when you need help? Just a prayer away
5. How come God won't take away my anxiety? He wants you to trust Him and grow and learn from it. (Paul thorn in his side)
6. If I ask for strength, how come I do not receive it? It may not be super hero strength but its enough to get through
7. I ask for a better paying job, why haven't I been given one. (Trust, I've tried) Wait on His timing He provides our every need
8. Why hasn't God struck down the Islamic extremists, racists, murderers, etc who stain this society and not allow our children to be safe to play outside? Not His timing, He wants them to come to know Him
9. How far would your church go if they stopped receiving money? I am not sure, but I know God is in control
10. Why isn't God blatantly obvious, such as waking up in the morning, and there he is in the sky watching over us? blessed are those who have not seen and yet still believe.
11. Why does a perfect God give us an imperfect book of guidelines? He doesn't the is 100% true and perfect.
12. Why not proof, instead of apologetics? You cannot tech prove there is or is not a God
13. How many ministers do you see driven by ego instead of '; the right thing'; (Falwell, etc.) Man is just that man, people will fail you God won't
14. Why do Christians seem to be on the lowest rung of the financial ladder consistently? Our treasure is in heaven not here on earth
15. Why do we pay money to a church that depends on the broken (people), when the broken never get fixed? Some do we just need to focus on what we have and what we should give
16. Why did Jesus pick crappy note-takers as disciples? I don't think He did
17. Would an all-knowing loving God send you to hell for eternity, or let you stay there until you did your time? Jesus is the only way, no sin can enter heaven, our choice to accept or reject to tell or keep silent
18. Why were we given private parts, but not aloud to play with them?
(sorry, had to ask) Sex is for marriage
19. Why are we given free will, if there's pre-destination? That would give us a chance to ruin our own destiny. There is no pre-destination, God knows the future but Doesn't pick who will or won't go to heaven
20. If Adam and Eve weren't supposed to eat from the tree, why was it there? who was it there for? They were supposed to obey God because they loved Him, and to accomplish His will.
I hope this helps you. :)
1. Can I have church at home amongst my family?
Yes
2. Why is God allowing me to work a full time job and still be poor?
God sees nothing wrong with being poor, you have to find a different job and more education
3. Why are there innocent children dying of starvation, and they don't understand it at all? Because the rich don't share. Blame people
4. Where is God when you need help?
Been there for me!
5. How come God won't take away my anxiety?
You need to see a doctor.
6. If I ask for strength, how come I do not receive it?
You have to find it.
7. I ask for a better paying job, why haven't I been given one. (Trust, I've tried)You already asked this
8. Why hasn't God struck down the Islamic extremists, racists, murderers, etc who stain this society and not allow our children to be safe to play outside? This isn't His kingdom
9. How far would your church go if they stopped receiving money?
They have to pay for lights and heat...it would get cold
10. Why isn't God blatantly obvious, such as waking up in the morning, and there he is in the sky watching over us? He wants to find out who His real friends are
11. Why does a perfect God give us an imperfect book of guidelines?
It isn't, you just don't know how to read.
12. Why not proof, instead of apologetics?
You already asked this
13. How many ministers do you see driven by ego instead of '; the right thing'; (Falwell, etc.)Many, and there are some good ones too. Just like atheists come in good, bad, and moronic trolls.
14. Why do Christians seem to be on the lowest rung of the financial ladder consistently? Come on. Look at stats.

16. Why did Jesus pick crappy note-takers as disciples?
You don't read do you?
17. Would an all-knowing loving God send you to hell for eternity, or let you stay there until you did your time? Don't think He does
Except God is not a great cosmic band-aid (tm) now is he? He doesn't go ';Alakazam! Everything is now kittens and rainbows for everyone!';
It IS human responsibility sweetheart. If you are not happy with your own situation in life it is up to you to take ownership of your responsibilities and start making changes. I think the Bible even has a few things to say about personal accountability...
