 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. Psa 43:3

Jesus is the only way to God How can Christians make such offensive and exclusive claims?

How Can A Good God Allow Evil   The fact of suffering undoubtedly constitutes the single greatest challenge to the Christian faith.

If God Is Good, Why Is There So Much Suffering in the World?   Why is there suffering? Why are the innocent victimized? Is there purpose in pain? Is there any escape? For the Christian, who believes that God is all-good and all-powerful, answers to these questions are especially important.

Natural Disasters A question in the minds of many at the present time is this: Why has God let this Tsunami disaster happen? How, exactly, would the unbeliever suggest that an understandable, dependable world be created, and operated, other than the way ours presently is? How could natural disasters be prevented, while maintaining natural laws and human freedom?

World Peace Atheists claim that the absence of world peace indicates that God does not exist, since it would be obvious that He would grant world peace in request to sincere prayers in this regard.

Can God Kill the Innocent? How is it that God could allow the annihilation of thousands and thousands of people, whether that annihilation was through war or natural disaster? In fact, how is it that God could even command such a thing in the Old Testament if it is immoral to take the life of an innocent human being?

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Does God Violate His Own Commandment? The Bible confirms that God ordered the killing of thousands of people. Isn't this an open and shut case for the hypocrisy of the God of the Bible?

Joshua's Conquest: Was It Justified? How could a good God commission Israel to destroy women and children in battle?   

Why Did God Allow The Killing Of All The First Born Of Egypt? People who kill other people’s babies deserve to die. Therefore the ancient Egyptians deserved to die. Still, God showed them mercy for years, giving them time to repent.

The Hardening of Pharaoh’s Heart To properly understand what happened to Pharaoh, we need to understand the different words that are translated into “hard’ or “harden”

Does Picking Up Sticks Deserve the Death Penalty? In truth, only God could know what would have happened if this man’s disobedience had gone unpunished, and only God could have known what would have happened if that punishment was not the death penalty.

The Sons Of Aaron.. Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.. The two oldest sons, Nadab and Abihu, as a result of a series of affronts to the holiness of their God, were struck dead The two younger brothers, Eleazar and Ithamar, and very likely Aaron as well, deliberately set aside God's will ... and yet they were not struck down. Indeed, they were not even declared guilty. Further, God blessed their lives and their descendants. Why?!

The Dark Side Of Church History The Crusades, Inquisition, Witch burnings, the Holocaust .. Is Christianity an excuse for brutal, heartless and senseless atrocities?

The Real Murderers: Atheism or Christianity? The assertion is that religion has caused most of the killing and bloodshed in the world. There are people who make accusations and assertions that are empirically false. This is one of them. Includes Secularism.. The Most Evil Philosophy Known To Human Government.

Hypocrisy In The Church How can Christianity be true...since the church is full of hypocrites?

Hell How can a loving God torture people in hell?

Children In Hell? What does the Bible say?

How much sin can God forgive? Is God within His rights, as it were, to forgive minimal crimes but not within His just rights to forgive extreme crimes?

Hitler and Mother Teresa What kind of God would allow a Hitler to go to heaven if he believed in Jesus and a Mother Teresa to go to hell if she didn't?

Miracles Impossible violations of the laws of nature?

The Bible and Slavery Can we determine with accuracy what the Bible really says on the topic of slavery? Does the Bible condemn it as a social injustice? Does the Bible condone the practice? And how does the Bible's position on slavery mesh with the idea of a loving God?

God is a Chauvinist Women in the Bible did little but ‘submit’ to their husbands” ...Nothing could be further from the truth..

Why Did God Allow Men To Have Concubines and/or More Than One Wife? Often Bible teachers in Sunday School are embarrassed about people like Abraham, Gideon and David having several wives and concubines – they simply don't know how to handle it!

Seeing is Believing If God exists why can’t I see Him?

Questions Skeptics Ask Most critics of the Bible assume that because something is unexplained it is unexplainable. When a scientist comes across an anomaly in nature he doesn’t give up on science. How many NASA scientists resigned when they found rings around Jupiter which was contrary to all scientific explanations?  When the Bible has been proven to be accurate over and over again in hundreds of details the burden of proof is on the critics, not on the Bible.

Evolution Many believe in evolution for the simple reason that they think science has proven it to be a ‘fact’ and, therefore, it must be accepted.

Atheism To claim you know there is no God is to claim you have exhaustively searched every part of every universe and dimension with an infallibly accurate method of detecting every non-physical entity that could possibly exist.
