try daw ninyo ask ely soriano about ani nga mga questions.. basin pa diay makatubag sya..
It doesnt take an INTELLIGENT CHRISTIAN to answer these questions .
The problem lies to the person who ASKED . If ever someone would answer it , how do you gage the status of CONTENTMENT of the answer ?The questions are as follows:
- Why won’t god heal amputees? There are cases where people claim to have been healed by miracles. One can’t help but to notice that these are in almost every case things that might just have got better anyway.
- Why are there so many starving people in our world? If you propound that God listens to you and answers your prayers, how can you believe that he answered your prayers for a raise and yet allows millions to die from starvation and disease?
- Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the bible? There are probably more than you realize - the demands listed in the post (to kill anyone who works on the sabbath day, homosexuals, girls that are not virgins when they marry etc.) just scratch the surface. And ‘the bible corrects itself elsewhere’ isn’t a defence; how can you full heartedly trust something that contradicts itself?
- Why does the bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? Such as the idea that the universe is only a couple of thousand years old, that Jonah lived inside a whale for 3 days etc.
- Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the bible? The post includes examples of how ’slaves should obey their masters as they would obey Christ’, amongst others. Personally I would substitute this one for something else. Perhaps ‘why is God so jealous and unforgiving in the old testament?’
- Why do bad things happen to good people? Such as their deaths in painful ways. If they are going to meet God anyway, why deprive them of their lives?
- Why didn’t any of Jesus’ miracles in the bible leave behind any evidence? It’s quite strange. All we really have is a book compiled 200 years after his death, written mostly by people who never met him.
- How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? If he’s all-powerful and timeless, why wait for a second-coming?
- Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? If you actually consider this for a second, it sounds more Satanic than Christian. And no, if you are Catholic as opposed to a derivative such as an Anglican, you believe that you are really consuming Jesus’ flesh and blood.
- Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? “What God has put together, let no man put asunder”. But it happens regardless.
Of course even grader can answer that in his or her own little ways but the problem lies if you or any person who will ask the questions would be happy since there is no SPECIFIC CORREC ANSWER but mere EXPLANATIONS .

Actually mods its not the answer that they want to listen, its the situation they want to sell. Even so, it requires explanation because the question is directed to god. So there for ony god will answer. Its good thing they asked so they will receive answer one day.The questions are as follows:
- Why won’t god heal amputees? There are cases where people claim to have been healed by miracles. One can’t help but to notice that these are in almost every case things that might just have got better anyway.
