    Is Greg Placing His Faith in the Wrong Thing?

    Questions about Greg placing his faith in his personal assessment of which truth claims best match reality rather than in the revelation of God in Jesus and a personal encounter with the Spirit, and how to fight thoughts that God isn’t real when you know he is real.   Please respond to this critique of Greg Koukl: “Those who place their faith in their personal assessment of which truth claims best correspond to reality are placing their faith in something other than the revelation of God in Jesus Christ and a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit.” I struggle with thoughts that God isn’t real even though I know he’s real. How do I fight this?

    Does Open-Mindedness Require Studying Other Religions Before Becoming a Christian?

    Is It Possible There’s a Being That’s Greater Than God?

    Questions about whether it’s possible there’s a being that’s greater than God and that’s outside of God’s comprehension and omniscience, and how to explain to people who don’t believe in the spiritual realm or the existence of God that we have eternal souls.   Is it possible there’s a being that’s greater than God and that’s outside of God’s comprehension and omniscience? How do I explain to relatives who don’t believe in the existence of God or the spiritual realm that we all have an eternal soul? They say that if they see God do a miracle, then they’ll believe, but isn’t that why it’s faith?

    Shouldn’t I Be Praying for My Soul Rather Than for Material Things?

    Questions about whether we should be praying for our souls rather than for material things, why we need to pray about decisions, whether the devil can hear our prayers and tempt us with “answers,” and whether it’s okay to pray for someone’s death rather than healing.   Shouldn’t I be praying for my soul rather than for material things such as a house or a new job—i.e., a diet version of the prosperity gospel? If I’m faced with a decision to do something that’s a good thing and doesn’t violate anything in Scripture, why do I need to pray about it to see if it’s something God wants me to do? Can the devil hear our prayers, and if so, will he tempt us with “answers” to those prayers? Is it okay to pray for someone’s death—i.e., for God to release them from suffering rather than for his miraculous healing?

    Why Should We Pray If God Already Knows What’s Going to Happen?

How is the effectiveness of prayer measured—e.g., would Christopher Yuan have been saved if his mother hadn’t prayed fervently?

    Prove to Me That Jesus Is Not a Created Being

    Questions about why we should think Jesus is not a created being, and what it means to say God became fully human if part of being human means not being God.   Prove to me that Jesus is not a created being, that “begotten” doesn’t mean he was created, and that he has always existed. What does it mean to say God became fully human if part of being human means not being God?

    Can You Recommend Good Books with More In-Depth Information and Ideas?

    Questions about good books on Christian apologetics, philosophy, and theology with more in-depth information and ideas, and resources to help an intellectually-inclined person with spiritual formation and developing the non-cerebral side of living a Christian life.   As a high school student, I have read many baseline books on Christian apologetics, theology, and philosophy, so could you recommend good books with more in-depth information and ideas? As someone with a passion for intellectual pursuits such as apologetics, theology, and philosophy, what resources might be helpful for spiritual formation and developing the non-cerebral side of living a Christian life?

    What Do You Think About Churches Advertising on Social Media?

Is it weird that I often find myself praying along with a YouTuber when he ends his videos with a prayer? Are Christian social media influencers going against Matthew 6:1–2 when they film themselves doing good deeds?
