  1. Too many of these questions lack knowledge and understanding.
    Lots of them were answered in my head as I was reading them. You really need to find someone who is well versed in scripture to omit the questions that don’t need to be on this list.
    You’re just adding more confusion to the young and inexperienced trying to find answers.
    The biggest mistake I see is not acknowledging that JESUS CHRIST IS GOD.

  2. Is God a partial being?
    If this is referring to if God has different parts, then the answer is yes and no. The Godhead is a perfect example.
    Who made God?
    Nobody. Cosmological argument.
    Can God destroy himself forever?
    No, because “God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.” He cannot be infinite, eternal, and unchangeable if He could destroy himself.
    If God is love, then why is there a hell?
    He is just and cannot let wrong go unpunished. He loves us by giving us a chance to redeem ourselves.
    Why doesn’t God just prove his existence?
    He does.
    What particular proof is there that God exists?
    Logic, fine tuning
    Why does God allow suffering, pain, and diseases to exist?
    He allows it because he gave us free will.
    Why won’t God heal amputees?
    We are not entitled to expect anything from the Lord against whom we have sinned and continue to sin; whom we treat like a cosmic genie instead of showering him with praise, reverence, and love.
    What is God’s gender?
    Genderless
    Why can’t God forgive people for their sins after they die?
    If you knew what you were really asking, you would realize how your question crushes God’s heart. Because the question is seeded with the idea that people should have the freedom to completely ignore God as they live, then be forgiven on principle after they die. In other words, we should have all the benefits of the prodigal son and a big party at the end of the day, even though we never came to our senses and loved God at all during our lifetime. (Luke 12) That question is seeking permission for people to ignore their responsibility for the here and now.
    (Adrienne Greene)
    God wants everyone to follow and worship him, those who don’t will burn in hell forever. What kind of attitude does God portray?
    Just
    Using the question above, if a human behaves that way they are labeled as tyrants, why is God not labeled as a tyrant too?
    He is perfect. They aren’t labelled as tyrants.
    Since God wants every man to follow and worship him, why doesn’t he just create us programmed that way?
    Because then it wouldn’t be genuine.
    Why is there no evidence of the miracles performed by God?
    There is evidence.
    Multiple Attestation, Criterion of Embarrassment, Coherence with the Environment of Palestine at the Time of Jesus, Coherence with the Unique Style of Jesus, and Criteria of Semitisms.
    At this time there was a wise man called Jesus, and his conduct was good, and he was known to be virtuous. Many people among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. But those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive. Accordingly, he was perhaps the Messiah, concerning whom the prophets have reported wonders. And the tribe of the Christians, so named after him, has not disappeared to this day.- Josephus (non-christian)
    If God is not the father of sinners, why should sinners pray, saying “Our Father, forgive us our trespasses”
    Sinners *repenting*. They’re Christians asking for forgiveness.
    As the wisdom of God can never change to folly, nor his power to weakness, will his goodness ever change to hatred?
    No
    Where did God come from?
    Nowhere
    Did God have any siblings, mom, or dad?
    No
    If it would be right for God to punish all men eternally, would it not be wrong for him not to do it?
    It wouldn’t be wrong but he loves us.
    Is Jesus really God?
    Yes

    1. De christen bijbel kent haatdragende teksten tegen anderen, dit geloofsboek hiermee een moreel verwerpelijk schrift.
