Here are questions I ask myself when I read the Bible or just when I think, feel free to comment or give answers…
16. Saying stuff and believing them are two different things. How am I to know when someone actually believe what they say they believe?
15. Why do I need to work!
14. Why am I sometimes restless and feel compelled to pray without knowing what I should pray for?
13. Is it right to say that people who used to be Christians but left the faith were not real Christians?
12. Why do I always think about what people might think or feel?
11. Why am I so lazy?
10. Why tears come to our eyes when we feel sad?
9. Why do I get colds when it’s warm outside?
8. How can I boast about the fact that I ”understand and know” God, that He is ”the Lord who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth” without boasting in myself? (Jeremiah 9:24)
7. Why is God so good to me?
6. Why, when angry with someone, human beings desire to physically hurt that someone?
5. How do I make the Most High my dwelling? (Psalm 91:1 & 9)
4. What is involved in ”Mak(ing) every effort to enter through the narrow door”? (Luke 13:24)
3. What does Jesus mean when he says “But give what is INSIDE the dish to the poor and everything will be clean for you” in Luke 11:41?
2. How can the Church be “… the fulness of Him who fills everything in everyway.”? (Ephesians 1:23)
1. Since God ” IN LOVE predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ” how did He feel about the others He did not predestined to be His? (Ephesians 1:4b-5a)

#13 has raised many questions…isn’t that one of the big “fights” between protestants and pentecotistes(?) ?
la perte du salut.

Hummm. I actually am not aware of the “fights” between Protestants and Pentecostals, so I don’t know if this issue has anything to do with it, but anyways.
Yeah, this question raises many other questions and makes us think, unfortunately of friends and family who used to walk with Jesus. It seems that there are more people leaving the faith than coming to it. Well, people I know.
Oh and by the way, les pentecotistes sont des protestants aussi!

oui je sais…you knew what i meant so it’s all good!
il y a toujours des frictions entre certain chrétiens à cause de cet histoire d eperte de salut ou non…bcp de gens(comme l’age à nos parents) sont bloqué envers les pentecotistes à cause de débats irrésolus…i’ve been going to prayer meetings and hanging out with alot of friends qui sont pentecotistes…et on jase de ses différences la…c’est chouette de voir qu’on a réussi a passer par dessus cest différence et juste centrer notre attention sur jésus lui meme…et pas toute les trucs sur le aprler en langue ou la perte de salut…oui ses bon d’avoir un opinion…but should it be the center of useless chicanes…no way.
