Questions Can I really know that God exists Questions Can I really know that God exists? What evidence is there that there is a God?

Submitted Questions “We say the disciples wouldn’t have died for something they didn’t believe in – but what about the Muslims?

Submitted Questions “Is the miracle that God has ordained an action and time even before we knew there was a need for a miracle, or that we saw the miracle when God allowed it to happen for His glory?” The Christian faith is just for people who have problems (coping mechanism; crutch for the weak) Didn’t the Christian faith borrow from religions/cultures before “Bible times?” – get basic principles and laws from cultures before Moses

Submitted Questions How can a good God allow evil and suffering? How can God send some people to Heaven and other people to Hell? What happens to babies, or people who cannot understand the gospel?
