4 Common Questions Atheists Ask About God
These are valid questions for atheists to ask. Even believers have questioned God at one point in their spiritual walk; If they haven't, they're lying because as a believer, the Bible says you will have trouble in this world. Since believers aren't exempt from trials in life, it can lead them to question their faith especially if the trials are back to back. I want to elaborate on Questions 1, 3 & 4.
#1. God never intended the world to be ridden with suffering and evil, but because of Adam & Eve's disobedience, sin entered the landscape, and we see the evidence of that today. Another example is when Lucifer (originally one of the angels of Heaven) tried to assert himself above God, and God ended up banishing him and 2/3rds of the angels to hell. Adam & Eve were supposed to have dominion over Earth, and they gave dominion to Satan when they disobeyed God. What's going on today is a reflection of sin.
#3. I believe if you do wrong, YOU should face judgment. Everyone shouldn't suffer for one person's disobedience. If I was God, I would spare everyone from Adam & Eve's judgment. In other words, Adam & Eve would pay for their disobedience, everyone that comes after them would be exempt. While sin is a condition, the choice to sin falls on the person. God gives us free will to do right or wrong.
#4. I shake my head at Christians who do evil. Christians who do evil are NOT my brothers and sisters in Christ because they make me look bad. One person/a few people can mess it up for everyone, and Christianity is no different. When unsaved people see Christians doing evil, they label all Christians as foul based on the actions of a few. For believers, YOU may be the only Jesus someone will ever see, so it's important to represent Christ well. That doesn't mean fronting like a perfect Christian, it simply means keeping it real. Too many Christians front like they're holy & sanctified, and when they're exposed, they deny. One thing about me: I'm a believer, but I foul up from time to time like everyone else. I own my mistakes, and keep it moving.

Progressive Christianity
Christianity is NOT the same as it was when I was growing up. Back then, Christianity was based on Biblical doctrine. What was in the Bible is what believers (and secular folks) stood on. Now, this new wave of Christianity called "Progressive Christianity" is doing far more damage to the faith than people realize. I think of progressive Christianity as a form of liberal Christianity where the Bible is watered down to suit feelings, Biblical doctrine is left open for interpretation, and facts are edited to fit someone's agenda.

America Is Bullheaded
I PRAY that I'm wrong, but given the history, I may be right. Before 9/11, there were warnings leading up to the attack. Did the government listen? No. When 9/11 struck, people were crying out to God for repentance, churches were full and things went back to normal. 19 years later, COVID-19 strikes, throwing society in a tailspin: People laid off from their jobs, the government has to send stimulus money to millions, selfishness/greed, and the list goes on. This virus doesn't care if you have long money or whether you're living check to check, everyone is getting this work. I saw video footage of nurses and doctors at one hospital praying before their shift; they go on top of the hospital helipad and pray because they know this is spiritual, not physical. God's grace is running out, so people better tighten up and get right. I hope...America gets it, I really do because God's grace is running out. As stated before, God has America in time out.
Lost Without You? Negative
Some people really think they're that valuable to you to where you'll fall apart without them. You were doing fine before they came along, you'll do fine without them. In many cases, the blessing is in their exit from your life.
I don't think people realize you'll be good without them until you show them!— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) April 1, 2020

Public Service Announcement
Got this off someone's FB page. They were on point. I think God's grace has expired.
