We all have different walks of life that varies from countries, cultures and families. I would like to know what life questions have you struggled with before? What questions are you currently having trouble with in life? I am currently writing a book in which I will have a bunch of questions composed into it answering tough questions that we struggle with during our lives.

I believe this dialogue will strengthen all of us together so the body of Christ can start running once again like it did when it started. Have a wonderful day.

Some of the questions that I had to overcome are the following:
Is God real?
Which God is real?
How can God love me?
What does the bible say about homosexuality?
Evolution vs. Creation?
What does the Bible say about transgender?
Can Christians Defend themselves?
And much more.

As I studded Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Paganism, Jediism, and Wicca, it drew me to the cross and The Way. Finally it open the doors to the ministry that I gladly serve in today. I address the harder questions that many struggle with, but few know the answer to.

The thread title is pretty close to the title of Jean Vanier's book Life's Great Questions.
Life struggle question: What do you do when your mate loves you but doesn't want children?
(Issue in my first marriage that ended when he left me for another woman.)

My questions( as I'm dealing with some of these myself)

Why would god allow someone's life to get so bad to the point they commit suicide , though they're Christian and ask God for help multiple times and he does nothing? Why?

Why does God turn a blind eye to discipline his pastors who do wrong( I myself wasn't treated the best...I asked God why did that happen and to take the anger away and to help me ...and well I got no response...Also I saw a news story of a pastor that slept with his congregation members wife, they guy brought a brick to confront him and the pastor shot the guy in the Lords house.... This pastor is still alive and preaching His word. Why isn't he discipling that Pastor? )

It makes it seem like God has favorites.


Why am I blamed for lack of faith when faith has to come from an event, assurance ..being God talking to you,providing,comforting you....but when that *Doesn't* happen... You're blamed ...how? That's not fair to me...because people who have the most faith have it because they have an intimate relationship with him(before you say anything...alot of people plead and beg and dedicate themselves to have a relationship like that with God but its one-sided...and it leads me to believe...to have a relationship like that God has to allow it) if those people didn't hear from god daily, if god didn't make his word come alive for them... I'm certain they wouldn't believe. I have yet to see a person with the faith of Abraham with out the Abraham experience... Like if God didn't shine the light down on Paul and talk to him personally... He wouldn't and couldn't have done the things he did. He just couldn't.


Lastly...Gods ways aren't our ways... It doesn't explain why some babies come out still born, why some kids are killed before the age of ten..,why one girl I read about in an article was raped and murdered then dismembered by foster parents..when she was described as being a friend to the lonely while having no friends herself.

Gods ways being different doesn't make the situation better..in any way shape or form.... So I don't think gods ways are better... I just think they're simply different then ours and that's it.

Sorry if this was dark...its easy to have no faith then to retain what little you have... Despite these questions..I do believe in God....but I don't believe he helps everyone because some people do ask,atheists and Christians alike and God simply says no for whatever the reason may be....

God is sovereign, meaning because He is God He can do what he wants and doesn't need my approval were living in his world. It is what it is.

But these are just questions I have and I'm simply responding to the OP so please no hate, I mean no harm and I'm not trying to dismantle anyone's faith...in just answering the OP's question..so again no hate.

Thank you.

Why did the Creator die for His creation that rebelled against Him, when He didn't have to? He could have picked up His marbles and gone home.

My question is why create people at all?

I also wonder why God never asked anyone if they wanted to do this, by that I mean live on earth. We were all thruster here on a whim.

Maybe we should have been God and not Him??

Matthew

this is the advice forum, so i'm going to perhaps take a bit of liberty and answer you as someone who has asked for advice; in that light, i assume that your question is:

'can someone write a book or series of books on answers to questions that people have about God?'

questions about life are at their root questions about the Creator of life, God; therefore, that book has already been written, and it's authoritative on the subject of God and life - it's His own words as revealed by Him through the written scriptures.

my advice is to instead strive to 'hear' His voice and 'perceive' His leading, confirming it through His written word interpreted to you by Him through fellowship, as no one can answer questions about life (or anything else) better than Him. as the spiritually reborn in Christ, our job is not to answer other people's questions about life (God), but to 'reconcile' other people into fellowship with Him, so that He can answer their questions directly.

2Co 5:14-19 KJV
(14) For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
(15) And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
(16) Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
(17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
(19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

2Ti 3:16-17 KJV
(16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
(17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

there are no shortcuts to God; He's already given us the straightest path to Him in writing, and He IS the living word :)

Joh 14:6 KJV
(6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
