The Bible

  1. Why should people believe that an ancient book is God's blueprint for all people in all ages to follow eternally?
  2. Why would a God need to write letters to people?
  3. Why are languages given a bad name, and said to be a work of God confounding evildoers in building skyscrapers?
  4. Why is the Middle-Eastern politics behind the stories of the Bible never truly explored?
  5. If Christianity came out of Islam, what does that say about its writings?
  6. Why is so much emphasis placed on faith and prayer as opposed to sustainable work (commerce and industry)?
  7. If wisdom comes through experience, why is trial and error not ok for the believer?
  8. Why are people commanded to obey, and not to build the self, and explore and develop the world?
  9. How is the Bible more inspired any more than a fictional superhero saving the day?

God

  1. What is the language of God?
  2. Why has God ceased doing everything that gave him his credentials-- creation of the world, destroying generation for homosexuality and violence, leading people to new found land, appearing to people, instigating wars against heathen, raising dead people, writing new Bible books, etc.?
  3. Why did God mix the heavenly world and the earthly one(s), allowing Lucifer to be cast out to the peaceful, undisturbed residence of humans, rather than to be imprisoned?
  4. Why did God keep on destroying people when they sinned, instead of imprisoning or destroying Satan who instigated all of this? Why create the world and then destroy it- like a child building a sand castle in wait for sea waves?
  5. What is the purpose of creating beings who can control and destroy his creation and bar the relationship between himself and them?

Humans

  1. What action could any human have committed against God himself that could bring the death sentence, and earthly misery, with Satan to combat, followed by life sentence in fiery torment?
  2. Who do people need to be saved from sin, if they are born free from sin, but learn it from the environment corrupted by the devil? Why be born in this world? Would it make more sense to eliminate Satan so that sin can be removed?
  3. Why should people obey financial doctrines, e.g. tithing and giving offerings, charity work, etc., in support of an organization managed by an invisible being? Why not invest, insure, and bank, buy property and be independent?
  4. Did the disciples give up their jobs to follow Christ? Who supported them and their spouses and children?
  5. Does God give the denomination control over the saints? Then why are saints monitored, scrutinized and given orders?
  6. Are people to think that Satan has so absorbed the world that unsaved people are influenced or possessed by evil spirits?
