BIG QUESTIONS

Designed for Student Small Groups these are big questions to discuss together.
Some are directly about the bible, others the nature of God, and some about life.
Each Question will come with a few recommended bible passages we recommend reading before diving in.

The Bible

Where did the bible come from?
(1 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:16-21)

What has changed between Exodus 21:24 and Matthew 5:38-42?

Does it matter whether or not Genesis 1 took place in 6 literal 24 hour periods?

How do we handle apparent contradictions in the bible? (For example read 2 Samuel 24:1-3 and 1 Chronicles 21:1-3... who incited David?)

Can people still have the gift of healing? (1 Corinthians 12:29-31)

Theology

How can a good God send people to Hell? (Revelation 20:11-15, Romans 9, John 3:16-21, Ephesians 2:1-10)

Why does God allow suffering? (Romans 8:19-20, Genesis 3:17-19, Genesis 6:13, Isaiah 24:5-6)

Why is Jesus the ONLY way to get to heaven? (Romans 3)

If I am saved from sin, why do I still sin? (Romans 6)

Life

Who do you want to become?

What do you want out of this stage of your life? Why is that important to you?
