Big Questions

Here are some of the Big Questions for which I have found reasonable answers. By the way, if God is truth then no question is off the table. We can ask anything. We may not get direct answers, but he’s God and we’re not. Some of my answers are straight out of Scripture. Others are my conclusions drawn from what Scripture does say. In every case, the answer I suggest is fully consistent with all the face-value assertions in Scripture.

If God is all-knowing and wants us to have sound doctrine, why did he reveal himself in a book that he knew so many people would misconstrue?

If God only does perfect things, why did he create this world so filled with evil and destruction?

If all believers have the Holy Spirit and one of the Spirit’s roles is to guide men into all truth, why don’t all Christians agree about doctrine?

If God exists and really loves us, why doesn’t he come out from behind that cloud and make himself undeniably known?

If this world is the best way for God to achieve what he wants, what does he want?

In his last recorded prayer, Christ prayed for a unity among believers that would show the world that God loves it just as much as he loves Christ (John 17:20-26). Why hasn’t God answered his own Son’s prayer?

If there are almost as many interpretations of Scripture as there are people reading it, how can we know which interpretation is accurate?

If God wants believers to have sound doctrine, will only the A-students be saved?
