Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! I'm not sure where this thread should be placed, so if it needs to be moved to a different category on the main page, please feel free to move it.
I'm wondering if you all, like me, have a list of questions in your head that you want to ask the Lord when we get to meet Him face to face. There are so many things that seem a mystery at the moment, and He will be there to answer. I have a jillion, and here are a couple to start...
1. Lord, why did You decide to create Lucifer? 2. Lord, what is bigfoot? |

3. How many people, who were not recorded in the Bible, and were not part of Israel, were saved in Old Testament times?
4. Just exactly how does that predestination vs. free will thing work?
5. Which of the miracles in the Bible were completely against the laws of the universe you established, and how many were a matter of you using those laws in amazing timing?
6. How did you reassemble the bodies of all the dead people who were burned, exploded, eaten by animals, disintegrated in the sea, etc.?
7. And how did you change our corruptible bodies into incorruptible?
8. And what are the new features and attributes of our glorified bodies?
9. And what about all these babies who died, what's going on with them?
10. What about animals that died, do they have any kind of ongoing existence?

Excellent questions, watchmanjim! Here's some more:
11. Lord, who was Melchizadek? Was that You?
12. In the beginning, did You create the planets for us to explore and settle as our populations expanded?
13. What did the planets look like before Adam's fall?

14. First, which of my doctrines were right and which were wrong?
15. How does the Trinity work... mechanically speaking?
16. Is New Jerusalem going to float in space or descend all the way to the earth?
17. Will we ever have special male-female relationships like we did on earth? Does no marriage in the resurrection preclude one-on-one companionship and falling in love?
18. Will eternity present real challenges/adversity to overcome even though there will be no sin?
19. Will we ever experience emotions like melancholy or nostalgia, or will we always be perfectly happy and present-minded
20. Can I have my childhood pets back?
21. Will there be chocolate?

15. How does the Trinity work... mechanically speaking? Yes, this is a huge question in my mind, too, Gary! It is absolutely mind-boggling, and I can't wait to understand it! |

I only have three.
What did Satan blind them with, - those who rejected you and kept from coming to you?
At what moment in their life did they make that decision.
Which ones did I turn away by my poor witness?

Which ones did I turn away by my poor witness? Deep questions, truthseeker! Another one... What would I have become if You hadn't saved me, Lord? I wonder if He will show us what our lives would have turned out to be without Him. Then again, I'm not sure my heart could take it if He did... |

22. Alright... Please explain everything in science, preferably physics.
23. Did you create mathematics?
24. Is hell in an alternate dimension?
25. How did people live so long before the flood?
26. Is the Great Pyramid an Oracle in stone?
27. Was the world created 6000 years ago?
28. How did you build the biosphere?
29. Why did you save me?

That was part of why I didn't like the rewards skit. They portrayed that in front of every body, your shortcomings would be pointed out and that you would be a witness To the good/bad things of others. I don't know about that, it seems like God has way too much respect for us to air out our Miscomings in front of others.I agree, I would hate to see where I would be had he not come in to save me from The world. At a restaurant last night, my son said "I just can hardly take looking around". We asked him why. And he said "look around, all you see is the world and the system". He was so right .

I get squeamish thinking about that myself, truthseeker. I hope the judgment won't expose the details of our sins before our brothers and sisters in Christ. |

Yes! Great questions about the beginnings of the creation, beloved! To this I can add:
30. Was T-Rex one of your original creations, or was it the result of fallen angel mischief?
31. What was the forbidden fruit? What did it look like? Was the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil actually something You would have given to man later if he'd chosen to obey You in the Garden of Eden, or was it purely a tree used for a test of obedience that would be destroyed after Adam's choice was made? In other words, was there a purpose to the existence of this tree that would have been to man's benefit if it hadn't been eaten in disobedience?
32. Is Jerusalem where the Garden of Eden was located?

I think it will be one on one,at that time. I'll want him all to myself during that time! Undivided attention! And we won't be called spoiled for wanting it! I think at one time, we CAN have him all to ourselves, yet altogether - during that time. I hope so!!!!!

Ha! I can't wait to meet the LORD. Those were a small, SMALL sample of the questions I'll ask. I'll need an eternity to get my answers!

Me too! I have so, so many questions. My biggest fear is that God won't answer them.
