Questions for Believers

What is the difference between saved and loved?                                                                        Does being saved mean being finished?                                                                 Is the Bible the Word of God or is Jesus the Word of God fleshed out for us?                                               

Was Jesus making choices to love more and more people other than his own religion and nationality, even the Roman enemy, a major part of Being the Word of God?                                                                                Is the WAY of Jesus’ life and willingness to love even those that killed him supposed to be the WAY of Christian’s lives?                                                       Did Jesus love unconditionally?                                                                                 Does God love unconditionally?                                                                                   Do we?

What is the difference between need and love? 

Could our life journey from the neediness of a baby be a process of becoming able to love unconditionally?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Does loving our neighbor mean only loving others whom we know and who are like us?                                                                                                                       Does loving Jesus mean we get to be rich? What did Jesus say about the rich man?                                                                                                                                                        Are our heroes rich? Are they kind? Are they like Jesus?

If, as he was dying, Hitler recognized the horrors he had caused and was stricken with sorrow and regret, would God forgive him?

Is our Spiritual journey more than following a set of ten rules basic to the survival of humans living together?                                                                             In fact, are the Beatitudes the challenges that Jesus gave us for our adult Spiritual journey to loving BOTH ourselves AND others unconditionally, because Jesus fleshed out the unconditional love of God for all?

Do you love all your children even when they fail, hurt you, and abandon you?

Does God?

Have you ever failed God?
