Where in the Bible does it say that Satan does evil?
Satan’s evil reputation is well chronicled in the Bible: Satan prevents a man from coming to God and is rebuked by God himself (Zechariah. 3:1-2). Satan tempts Jesus to turn away from God (Matthew 4:1-11). Satan takes away the Word … Continue reading
Why did God create an evil Devil?
The Devil and demons are fallen angels. God did not create an evil angel. God created Lucifer, who was God’s beautiful choirmaster (Isaiah 14:12-15, Ezekiel 28:12-15). Lucifer later turned his own heart against God. It wasn’t God’s fault that Lucifer … Continue reading

What is Hell?
Some people think Hell is a harmful doctrine which evil people in religious authority wield to club others into submission. “I, your spiritual leader, am of God. If you don’t do as I say, I’ll send you to Hell!” Just because … Continue reading
Is it fair that God has already decided who’s going to heaven or hell?
Some Christians believe that God, before he created the world, had already made up his mind who will receive the penthouse suite in the heavenly city and who will spend eternity with the worms. Quite a few Christians reject that … Continue reading

Would remote peoples go to @#!*% because they don’t believe in the Christian God?
I believe what is happening in the Muslim countries is happening in the remoter areas as well. A missionary letter I’ve received reported that God has been reaching out to the Muslims in dreams and visions (as foretold in Acts … Continue reading

Why do people say God helps them and frees them when I see them suffering all the time?
How can people say they are free when they are bound to a wheelchair, or need a seeing-eye dog to get around, or a ventilator to breathe? Perhaps we can understand by getting a glimpse into their own world. I … Continue reading
