And, if I want to be a Christian, I want these questions answered.
Originally posted by chaney3..He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. (1 John 3:8 KJV)
God created humans. We are sinners, we did not create sin, God created that as part of our makeup. If a human realizes that God hates sin, then why doesn't the human just merely stop sinning? We can't. ...
Originally posted by SuzianneI answered the questions by chaney3 except for the ridiculous claim that the Jews needed to overhaul their old God, so they created Jesus as a new God. Why don't you respond to that for me and show that it is ridiculous. I am sure you can do it.
You keep missing the point here. And you can't get past this if you don't get the point.

Originally posted by chaney3We are told by the New Testament that our only way to avoid Hell, because of our sin (which God gave us), is to love His son, Jesus Christ. This is forced love. God is asking us, and telling us to love His son Jesus (who is God?), to avoid Hell.
"Moreover indeed many other signs also Jesus did before His disciples, which are not written in this book.
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name." (John 20:30,31)

Another great love song about loving Jesus Christ for just who He is:

Originally posted by checkbaiterTrue. The problem is that we will never, never get any answers to these questions while we are still alive. If a person has genuine questions with the Bible, there is not one, single person on the planet who has the 'truth'. Even YOU, if you clam to be a Christian, it is merely your frail opinion. I am sure that if you were questioned by a Bible scholar, who had some doubt, your answers would crumble.or anybody else that asks questions
Nothing wrong with asking questions.
Originally posted by chaney3I understand your frustration, I was there in an earlier time in my life.
I just googled 'God knows our needs' because I was looking for a specific verse, but found too many to quote here. In the Old and New Testament, it states that God knows our needs.......yet, thousands of children die each year from starvation and thirst. Where is their God who know their needs? The simple fact is that our Bible might be a load of crap. Written merely by men. Period.
Gal 1:11-12
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ
NKJV
2 Peter 1:20-2:1
knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
NKJV
2 Tim 3:16-17
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 complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
NKJV
