From the day we enter this world until the day we pass—automatically but not by our own inventions or intentions—we know there must be a God. But why, and where did God came from? Why Jesus is his father as well as himself? Does God have the responsibility to bless or punish us, even though he made us? Why do miracles happen? Why can hellfire still hurt us after we have died and decayed? Why do animals seem to be more faithful and more emotional than us? Why do some scientists believe the plagues are natural events but not miracles? Why were the ancient kings wrong about the afterlife? Why are we different races? Are there more different races of Adams and Eves? In this personal essay, author Kristie Duc explores questions about the Old and New Testaments and considers answers to these questions for believers and nonbelievers alike.
