?s from Big ? Night

These are the questions our youth group asked on Wednesday, March 11.
We were unable to answer them all, but here they are.
A little insight into what's on our students' minds (not all are
serious, but most of them are):

1- Is there a right religion? I know Christianity is right but I'm
talking about baptist, nazarene, methodist, etc....
2- If someone is saying their life is pointless and they tell you they
want to commit suicide how do you respond?
3- If God created everything, who created God?
4- Are elves real?
5- Why do people frown on sex?
6- Did the unicorns that God created die in the great flood?
7- Is Obama the anti Christ? (got this twice)
8- How does God raise Jesus from the dead when Jesus is God?
9- When churches judge other people and other churches just because
they believe something different does that mean that they are not
going to make it to heaven because they judge and look down on people
and they never repented for it?
10- Have you felt like someone was watching you and no one was?
11- Do you think the world will end in 2013?
12- Why is it not accepted for you to date [people of other races]?
13- Can people look down from heaven and watch over us and like see us?
14- I have a friend and he does not believe in God at all he says
there is no such thing as heaven and hell? What should I do?
15- How do you make a nonbeliever believe when they won't listen?
16- Does the Bible say anything about relationships with one person
older than the other?
17- If a person has told you they've given up on God, what do you do?
18- Say you have a friend who is on the verge of tears because he has
prayed and prayed that God would help him but nothing has happened
what do you do?
19- Why did God make funny looking edible fruit?
20- Why is it wrong to be gay or bisexual or lesbian?
21- What if you're gay but you don't have sex?
22- Why can't animals have soul?
23- Why do Christians treat people like outcast? Aren't we supposed
to love everyone?
24- Is the shroud of turin real or fake? (got this twice)
25- If you have had sex, does that mean you're not a Christian?
26- Why do people judge people for what they look like or their color?
27- If your friend is talking about having sex, how do you handle it?

what we're going to do? How isn't that predestination?

heard the word of Jesus?
40- I get five dollars for allowance and I want to tithe. Here is the
problem. I get my allowance in dollar bills. And 10% of five dollars
is 50 cents. Am I allowed to make change and take 50 cents from the
offering plate if I put in a dollar? (seriously not made up)

things that are radically different than what is thought of as true
