Question 1

...does God let bad things happen?

Accepted Answer

Scripture teaches us that God can only do good, pure, loving acts.  But just like a prent, sometimes goodness, purity, and love cause you to have to allow certain poor choices to be made by the child in order for the child to learn certain lessons and grow.  God desires that we are come back to Him--out of sin.  He requires goodness, purity, and love from us.

Question 2

...do we have the Bible?

Accepted Answer

The Bible is God's Word given to us.  It is the history of man's fall and redemption.  Here we learn what God requires of us, how to live holy, examples of great men and women that encourages us.  We receive God's Word of comfort, peace, direction, warning, and most importantly and most exceedinly...His love for His people.

Question 3

...do we memorize Bible verses?

Accepted Answer

Scripture says to rehearse God’s Word.  It isn’t so much about head-knowledge as it is heart-knowledge.  If we have Scriptures memorized, it means we are studying God’s Word and therefore more equipped to use it in everyday life.  If we don’t get in the Word, we’ll forget what God desires from us.  And we need that light unto our path so as not to sin against God.

Question 4

...is the Book of Revelation so hard to understand?

Accepted Answer

Ever try to understand or explain a dream of yours?  Doesn’t make it any less real or impactful or meaningful.  This Book was a vision given to Apostle John about the second coming of Jesus Christ.  His birth, life, and resurrection was miraculous.  Can you even imagine how incredible end time events will be when He has final victory over Satan; sin is erased from the world; and we get to spend eternity with our King?

Question 5

...do I feel bad after I do something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Even though we are all born into sin, we still have a God-consciousness.  In other words, because we were designed specifically to worship God, it’s in us all to love Him and serve Him.  It’s just all this bad stuff around us that clouds that.  So when you do something wrong (don’t worry, we all have), guilt kicks in.  Most of the time, we know what we did was wrong...especially afterwards.  And it isn’t until we repent that we are absolved of that guilt.
