Dear God,

What one thing could we say or do to prove to Jeff that universalism is just wrong, wrong, wrong?

Sincerely,
kaykay

Actually standing in the presence of God I don't think I would be able to ask anything, I would just say thank you for loving me and saving me. I bet when we get to Heaven all of our questions won't really matter anymore.

LOL! kaykay....

Dear God,

What can I do to prove that You do not run an eternal torture chamber? Can't they see that the increase of Christ’s government and peace will have an end if this is true?

Sincerely,

Jeff

Why indeed ?

Other questions:

That Muhammad, what were you thinking?!?!?

What possessed you to start three major world religions in one place?

Is there Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, or nothingness?

Which religion is your favorite?

Was Jesus fully human, fully divine, or something inbetween?

And something that has been bugging me since I first read it:

OK, so this guy Abraham hears voices, drags his son up to a mountain and comes within inches of slitting his throat. He hears more voices telling him not to kill his doubtless terrified son but instead, slaughter a sheep that just happens to be there minding its own business. Abraham then takes his son home and cuts off part of his penis and insists the voices told him everyone else has to do the same thing. If a guy did that today, we'd put him in an insane asylum, terminate his parental rights, and get that kid into some serious therapy. WTF??

Although I wish I could be like ILNC in her response, I just know I would have more than one question. But if I were only allowed one it would be:

Why do you allow innocent children to suffer with disease and harm?

That one I will never understand.

I guess I would ask, "Why all the pain and suffering? Did Adam really **** you off that bad?" (scratch the second one, or He may smite me upside the head)

And my backup question is, "Can I see what life was like in the Dawn of Creation?" (part II, You should have just killed that damn snake with legs)

Third choice: "Do you have any videos of when the dinosaurs were alive?" *(ok, that was my inner child asking that one. Scratch that one too.)

I would ask God...

Dear Heavenly Father, unworthy as I am, thanks be to Jesus's blood for cleansing me, I ask You oh Father to please don't give up on my loved ones, soften their heart so they can spend eternity with us in heaven.
