I don’t do ‘damage control’ for Gd or intellectualize things so that he fits your paradigm (1 Corinth 2:4)(Romans 9:20). He is who he is.
Why does Gd allow suffering?
Suffering entered the world when Adam, the first man, sinned. Some of this is caused by man, whom he gives volition. Those who reject Christ suffer eternally.
Why does free will seem like a joke? I can’t choose to not be born.
Free will is a man-made term. Still, ‘free will’ is not defined by your definition. We have the choices Gd gives us. For example, people can choose the path to eternal life or the path to eternal death.
Why does Gd help some people and not others?
Because it falls into His plan.
How did Adam & Eve sin without understanding what it was?
They were programmed to understand some things, such as perishing and obeying (Gen 3:2-3).
Why does it seem like women got the worst of the curse?
Sin and death entered the world through Adam, not Eve (Romans 5). Men bear the weight of responsibility. Still, understand that Chavvah desired to be Gd or like Gd (Gen 3:4-6). This is why her curse included her husband ‘ruling’ over her and all that entails (Gen. 3:16). Though he was merciful, the savior of humanity (life) came through a woman. Women also have more rights in the NT. For example, it’s preferable that they don’t get married and be ‘childless cat ladies’ if they have self control = 1 Corinthians 7. “Their body, their choice!”
Why does Jesus seem like a cult leader?
Because he is. He is the original cult leader (Acts 24:5,14). He’s also jealous, in a Godly way. He demands to be first place in his lovers’ lives. You can’t love anything more than him. He’s not controlling though. People can walk away anytime.
Why does science sometimes conflict with the Bible?
Secular science is rooted in theory. Theories can never be definitively proven. Gd’s Word is rooted in truth; it’s the ultimate truth that never changes.
Why are there discrepancies in the Scriptures? That means it’s not “truth.”
Some things just appear to be incorrect but aren’t. Understand that lying means deceiving. Any man-made errors concerning details weren’t meant to deceive anyone. The message is clear & true.
Why should I submit to Gd?
Uhh, this is what he commands of all men, everywhere (Acts 17:30,31). I’m not going to oversell Christ to you. He courts his lovers personally. Understand that if you don’t repent you will be thrown in the lake of fire.
Why does sin change in the Bible?
Again, sin entered the world through Adam. Sin is not counted until a law or command is given (Romans 5:13).
Why does God’s love look like hate?
Because you’re a god (Genesis 1:26, 3:22, Psalm 82:6, John 10:34). Naturally, you decide what love and hate looks like. We have to submit our ‘godness’ to Christ to gain eternal life.
Are some people destined to be saved and others destined for destruction?
Yes and no. The Scriptures show Gd controls salvation, yet the person is responsible for their fate. Gd knows his creation intimately. He knows who will submit and who will resist him. He also hardens some and softens others.
Romans 9, Rev 13:8, Romans 8:29-30, Ephesians 1:4-5, John 6:44, Mark 16:16, Acts 7:51-53, Matthew 19:16-23, John 12:48, John 3:20
How can you accept that most people will suffer eternally?
I trust that Gd is just. We must submit our godness to him. Some sects reject that reality, which creates a false Christ.

Uniqueness of the CHRISTian faith & traits of its people
The Faith.
+ The founder claimed to be the Son of Gd. Gd with us. He was also sinless.
+ The one true Gd came down in lowly human form to be humiliated and unjustly killed by his creation.
+ Christ shed blood for sins and conquered death by resurrecting. Unlike pagan god myths, he had human witnesses.
+ Gd & Jesus and are one yet 2. Both are mentioned at the transfiguration. Gd & Jesus are one yet 3. All three were mentioned at his baptism. John 10:30, Hebrews 1:2, Matthew 11:27, 1 Corinthians 8:6, John 14:23, Luke 3:22.
+ He fulfilled hundreds of prophecies from the OT.

+ Denominations are strictly prohibited. 1 Corinth 1:12-13,1 Corinth 3:4, 1 Corinth 11:17-22.
+ Most imitated person and faith. Millions of artificial Christs and countless false converts. Matthew 24:24
+ The Spirit is involved with conversion.
+ Love-based faith. The greatest commandment and the second involve love.
+ Faith-based & grace-filled. Good deeds don’t save you.
+ One of the instant fruits of a converted heart involves money. Acts 8:14-24
+ Love of money prevents people from loving Christ. Matthew 19:21-22
+ The rich and poor are warned repeatedly in the NT concerning money. 1 Timothy 6:9-10,17, Matthew 6:24
+ Rich who hoard wealth and pay workers unfairly are shamed and judged. James 5
+ Holy Spirit is given to help saints. John 14:16
+ Christ gives special powers to his people.
+ No special religious buildings. People are literal temples, offering spiritual sacrifices. Meet anywhere.
+ A true worship gathering is led by the Holy Spirit, where people can use their gifts. 1 Corinthians 14:23-25
+ Persecution is a marking of followers 2 Timothy 3:12.
The People.
+ Non-violent defense. Luke 3:14 (word = violence), Matthew 5:39,44, Matthew 26:51-52, Acts 14:19, Acts 5:40. Violence left to the secular govt.
+ The people have spiritual battles instead. Ephesians 6, 2 Corinth 10:3-4
+ Peaceful people. Romans 12:18-19, 1 Timothy 2:1-2
+ Embody the fruit of the Spirit. Self control, love, joy (inner calm), etc.

+ Physically simple yet spiritually luxurious
+ Spiritually adorned temples, not physically adorned. Plain, modest covering, no jewelry, or make up, etc. 1 Peter 3, 1 Timothy 2:9. BIG difference from OT saints & other religions (Gen. 24:22)(Gen 32:2)(Isaiah 61:10).
+ Acappella (in church) singing is a distinct feature of Jewish-Christian culture as instruments now play within. We don’t use physical instruments in NT collective worship because their pointless = John 4:24, Ephesians 5:19
