“Why is there suffering? That proves there is no ‘loving’ God.”
Study the soil for a moment. It naturally produces weeds. No one plants them; no one waters them. They even stubbornly push through cracks of a dry sidewalk. Millions of useless weeds sprout like there’s no tomorrow, strangling our crops and ruining our lawns. Pull them out by the…

“Why does God want to torture people in hell?”
God will not “torture” anyone. He will simply give them justice. A criminal who viciously raped three teenage girls may believe that his being thrown into a cold prison cell is torture. The judge knows better. He calls it “justice”. God will “damn” rebellious sinners from all that is…

“What kind of God would sanction the killing of women and children?”
Let me tell you about my father. When I was young, he regularly left my mother and us three kids to fend for ourselves. I was there when he killed a helpless animal with his bare hands. Not only that, but he hit me (often). Based on this information,…

“Does Christianity oppress women by making them submit to their husbands?”
The Bible does say, “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord,” but it also instructs, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it” (Ephesians 5:22,25). A man who under-stands that Jesus Christ sacrificed His life’s blood for…

“Why does God allow evil?”
Why does God allow evil men and women to live? Should He instead kill them before they do evil deeds? Should He judge murderers and rapists now? What about thieves and liars, adulterers, fornicators, those who lust, and those who hate? If God judged evil today, all unconverted men…

“Why did God order the killing of an entire people group? That’s genocide.”
The reason we can so quickly fault God for wiping out multitudes of people is that we have a subjective definition of what is “good”. For example, we define “good” perhaps as helping some old lady across the street. Someone watching us do such a task is impressed with…

“Why is there suffering? That proves there is no loving God.”
The world we live in is far from perfect: natural disasters, diseases and wars. What sorts of a tyrant must our Creator be if this was His master plan? Sadly, many use the issue of suffering as an excuse to reject any thought of God, when its existence is…

“Who Made God?”
To one who examines the evidence, there can be no doubt that God exists. Every building has a builder. Everything made has a maker. The fact of the existence of the Creator is axiomatic (self-evident). That’s why the Bible says, “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is…

“There is no reason to believe that a supernatural, intelligent Creator exists.”
There are trillions of reasons to believe in a supernatural, intelligent Creator. From DNA to the basic atom, to the millions of stars and the entire universe, there is incredible complexity and order throughout creation. What proof is there that God exists? Even though through my natural senses, I…
