"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God."
Psalm 90:2 (NRSV)
 

Yesterday I addressed seven (below) of the 150+ questions you ended up having asked.  Obviously I need to pick up the pace!  I grouped Sunday’s questions around the question, “what is God like?”

1.        Where did God come from?

2.        God created man /earth, but how can our brain rationalize God just existed, with
      no origin or creator, logically it makes no sense.  

3.        Can you explain (easily) the Trinity and how Father, Son & Holy Spirit are all
      different?

4.        Is all action in the world either God or the Devil?

5.        I heard this one last week from an atheist that is considering Christianity.  “God is
     the creator of everything. God created humans.  But it's human nature to sin. So
     where are sins coming from?  Why does God create us this way? So human
     beings are determined to fight sinful nature with free will?  Then if we are
     successful, we can go to heaven with no sin?”

6.        If God has a plan for every life, can we, through free will, unintentionally make
     decisions that stray us from His path?

7.        Angles and Demons: What/who are they and what is their role today?  

Next Sunday, I’ll address the questions I didn’t get to yesterday (miracles, predestination, free will, election, Israel, covenants) and also the Bible; can it be trusted and how do we read it.
