Quote from Beautiful Mind on 2025-09-23, 7:37 pm

1. The Bible says that God created all things by His Word. Is this true? If so, then how did He create water and earth by His Word, and how were the countless stars of the universe created?

 

2. Scientifically, it is said that man evolved from monkeys into the form of humans we see today. Then does this mean that the Bible’s statement that Adam and Eve were formed from dust is a lie? Between the two, which is truly the truth and which is false? Is there clear evidence that can reveal the real truth?

 

3. Science says that the age of the earth is about 4.5 billion years, while the age recorded in the Bible is said to be less than 7,000 years. So which age is really true and accurate? And why is there such a difference in the ages of the earth? Which one is true and which one is false?

 

4. Fossils and other evidence prove that dinosaurs actually existed. If dinosaurs really did exist, then when and how did they appear, and when and how did they go extinct? And can the fact of the existence of dinosaurs be understood on the basis of the Bible?

 

5. Science says there was an “ice age” in this world. Did this ice age really happen? If so, when and how did it happen? And if Noah’s Ark is true and the Bible says the flood covered the whole earth, then where did all the water go that once covered the earth?

 

6. Dr. Stephen Hawking wrote about free will, saying that if a thief steals by his own will, then he has committed theft by his own will, and therefore guilt is established and he must pay the penalty for his crime. This, he says, proves that God does not govern man and that this is evidence God does not exist. But if the thief stole because God had predetermined it from the beginning, then the thief, having acted regardless of his own will, according to God’s predetermination, should not be charged with sin. Thus, he argues, the thief should not go to hell. So then, what is the truth, and what is the truly just answer of God?

 

7. Do UFOs really exist? Do aliens really exist? If they do exist, where are they, how do they live, and what do they look like? What is the real nature of UFOs? These days, some unbelievers claim that the word “Elohim” in Genesis 1 is proof that aliens, the reality behind UFOs, created the world. Please explain this clearly.

 

8. In the past, people said that the “666” of Revelation was the barcode, but nowadays some say it is the microchip, and that in the future those who receive this chip will be judged. Is this really true? What exactly is the true meaning and significance of 666 in Revelation?

 

9. Does God really exist? If God truly exists, what is the evidence? And people worship many different gods—gods worshiped by shamans, gods worshiped in Buddhism, in Hinduism, in Christianity, in Roman mythology, and in Egyptian mythology. Do all these gods really exist? When we see fortune-telling and exorcisms performed, one may feel convinced of the existence of these gods. But since each claims their god is the true god, who is the true God? What is the standard of the true God? If these gods exist, then when and how did they come into being, what do they do, what do they look like, and how do they live?

 

10. Do demons really exist? If they do, then what is their true nature? What form do they take? How did they come into being? How do they work in humans? How do they enter into a person’s body, and how can one be freed from them?

 

11. Do exorcists really cast out demons? And how do shamans or fortune-tellers accurately tell people’s past? If their power is real, then where does it come from and how can it be overcome?

 

12. If God exists, then why is it that some people commit sin and evil yet do not receive punishment, living their whole lives wealthy, happy, or in authority? And why is it that some are born, without effort or desire, into wealthy or powerful families, inheriting riches, luxury, and pleasure, living however they wish—while others are born into poor countries or poor families, living in poverty, hunger, and hardship from birth, or live their whole lives poor, suffering injustice, never receiving the reward of their labor, living in hardship, tears, and pain? Is this really the just providence of God?

 

13. These days one often hears the phrase “the end times.” Do the end times really exist? If so, when and how will they happen? What signs will there be on that day, and what will occur? And why does God intend to judge this earth? What is the true standard by which those who are judged and those who are saved are separated, and who carries this out, and how?

 

14. God is said to be merciful. But is it really the way of a merciful God that a man, who lives no more than a hundred years, should receive eternal punishment in hell for the sins he committed in that short lifetime, without a chance to repent? Is the teaching that one must be punished forever in hell truly based on the Word of God?

 

15. After we die, do our souls really go to heaven or hell?

 

16. What sin have those who died at birth or those who were aborted committed, that they should die or be aborted? Do such souls go to heaven or to hell?

 

17. Why are some born disabled from birth? Regarding the principle of being born disabled, why is it that some are born healthy and others disabled? Is this really the just justice of God? If so, then please explain clearly from God’s Word and His justice the fundamental reason why the disabled must be born as such.

 

18. If a person has lived his whole life doing good deeds, yet does not believe in Jesus, will he go to hell for that reason alone? Or will he be able to enter heaven because of his good deeds?

 

19. Many people claim they hear the voice of God. But is what they say they hear truly the voice of God? How can one hear the voice of God? Does it sound like a human voice, or is it a special voice unique to God?

 

20. In what form is God, where is He, and who is He? Why does He not clearly reveal Himself before us?

 

21. Many people—such as Thomas Joonam, Elder Park Young Moon, Pastor Lee Jae Rock, and countless others—claim to have gone to heaven and hell. But the heaven and hell they describe are very different from those described in the Bible. So what is the truth? Are their accounts real? In the Bible, Jesus said that in hell there is a great gulf fixed so that Abraham cannot cross over to hell, nor can anyone come from there to heaven. Then how can these people claim to go back and forth between heaven and hell? Should we believe the Bible or their experiences?

 

22. God has the power and authority to destroy Satan. Why, then, does He not destroy Satan so that people would no longer suffer, be deceived, or fall?

 

23. If Satan really exists, then when and how did he come into being, what does he look like, where does he live, and how does he work among us?

 

24. Why did God not make Adam and Eve in the form of angels from the beginning, so that mankind too might live without sin, without evil, and in perfect obedience to God? Why instead did He make humans in weak flesh, bound to commit sin and evil, living in suffering, pain, tears, and affliction?

 

25. Did the all-knowing and almighty God not know that by eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, sin and death would enter mankind? If He did not know, then He is not truly almighty. But if He did know, then why did He create the fruit in the first place, knowing they would eat it? What is the fundamental reason?

 

26. God already knows our weaknesses without us saying them. Then why did He give us prayer? How much must we pray for Him to hear us? And how must we pray to receive an answer?

 

27. What truly is the spirit, and what is the soul? What form do they take, and how did they come into being?

 

28. In the Roman era, there were both massive and majestic church buildings and underground catacombs. Who were those who worshiped in the grand Roman churches, and who were those who worshiped in the catacombs? Did they worship the same God, while worshiping in completely opposite environments? I cannot understand this.

 

29. No one in this world openly says, “I am the antichrist, I am a false prophet.” Yet the church, quoting Scripture—“He who denies the Son of God is the antichrist and the false prophet”—teaches that only those who say “I am Jesus, I am God” are the antichrist or false prophet. But this is something anyone, even unbelievers, can easily discern. Jesus said that if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived. So is the antichrist and Satan described in Scripture as easy to discern as today’s pastors say? Please teach the true way to discern between true and false.

 

30. I have learned that Christ means “the Anointed One.” Yet the Bible clearly says that Christ is the image of God, equal with God, and the very essence of God. So if Christ is the Anointed One, does that not mean there is a higher God who anoints Him? And is this not contrary to the doctrine of the Trinity? What is the true meaning? If not, then what does it mean? And since the Bible calls the kingdom of heaven “Jerusalem,” what is the true meaning of Jerusalem?

 

31. The Bible says that Elijah was born again as John the Baptist. Why then did Elijah not remain in heaven forever, but instead was born again on this earth? Pastors teach that the soul lives forever in heaven, but I cannot understand this. Some pastors say that John the Baptist was not Elijah himself, but merely came in the spirit of Elijah. But this is contrary to the words of Christ, and the Bible says, “when the spirit departs, a man is dead.” Does this not mean Elijah gave his spirit to John, and that Elijah therefore died in heaven? Can a spirit be divided and given away? Please tell me what is truly correct before God (Matthew 21:31; Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62; Revelation 1:7).

 

32. Why does the Bible command women to be silent and not to speak in church?

 

33. What exactly is speaking in tongues? Why must we receive tongues? What is the true standard of tongues? The tongues heard in churches today often sound like the cries of foxes—woo~ woo—or hissing like snakes—sshh~ sshh—or like nonsense syllables “la la la, rol ro lo,” which feel eerie and disgusting. Are these really the true tongues of Christ? Some people’s tongues sound like whistles blowing inside, or like motorcycle engines rattling, or they repeat strange words like “warakara, sandarabia, weekentuntu.” Are these truly the tongues of God? Human languages have many words, yet the so-called tongues used are only a few meaningless syllables repeated. Can this really be the heavenly language of God? If tongues in the church today are simply “la la la, sshh sshh, dur dur dur,” can these really be called the language of heaven and of angels? It seems strange and even vile. How can such sounds convey meaning? What are the true characteristics of tongues, and how can we discern between true tongues and false tongues?

 

34. What are the true gifts and talents of Christ? Are they really, as the church says, playing the piano, singing well, or being skillful with one’s hands? These seem no different from talents and skills common to all people of the world. Do they become gifts of God simply because one goes to church? If not, then what are the true gifts of God, and how can one discern them from mere human skills?

 

35. Jesus taught the Word wherever He went—in the streets, in the wilderness. Why then do churches today build grand, ornate buildings and teach the Word only to those who gather inside?

 

36. Since the Holy Spirit is of God, should not the interpretations of the Word be consistent? Why then do pastors who claim to have received the Holy Spirit give so many conflicting interpretations and sermons? Some even completely contradict one another. What should be the standard? What are we to believe? How can opposing wisdom come from the same Spirit?

 

37. If receiving the Holy Spirit and anointing means knowing all things and receiving wisdom that comprehends everything, then why do pastors who claim this not actually comprehend the Word, but must study commentaries, read books, and prepare sermons through human effort at seminary? And yet not one of them could answer the questions I had. Those with some conscience would say, “Let’s pray and study together,” but later they avoided the questions with excuses, or simply said, “Just believe, don’t doubt, or it will hinder the ministry.” Since reality does not match the Word, how can we truly believe without doubt unless we fully understand God’s providence? And why do those who claim to have received the Spirit not show the evidence of mustard seed faith that can move mountains?

 

38. I pursued prophecy, longing to know it, and visited many churches where prophecy was practiced. But nearly all the “prophecies” I heard were the same. “God is with you. I see seven lights. My beloved son, my beloved daughter, I will bless you and your business will prosper. I have seen your tears and prayers. I see Jesus embracing you and weeping with you. Be patient and your fruit will come. I see grapevines. You are asking for material blessing, and God will provide it for you and your family.” These prophecies gave me temporary emotion, but nothing came true. Instead I fell sick. Some pastors excused this saying, “Personal prophecies depend on what you do. Only biblical prophecies are guaranteed.” To me, these so-called prophecies seemed no different from shamans saying their spirits bring blessing if you obey. Are these truly prophecies of God? If they were, then I should have borne the fruit. I prayed in tongues for four to five hours a day, yet the result was not biblical evidence, but nightmares and sickness. Some pastors said, “It is the process of refinement; be patient.” But after ten years, the opposite of what was prophesied came true, and I grew only worse. Is this true prophecy? Or is it mere flattery and exploitation like fortune-telling? Please clarify the true standard of prophecy and how to discern it.

 

39. In the Bible, Jesus never set an example of worshiping on the Sabbath, nor did His apostles. Rather, He showed love, healed, and fed. Why then do churches today emphasize worship on the Sabbath above deeds of mercy?

 

40. Jesus said, “Give up worldly things,” and “Do not store up treasures on earth.” Why then do so many pastors and believers pursue wealth and happiness on this earth? Is true blessing really material prosperity and success in this world? According to the Word, it makes no sense.

 

41. Without following Christ’s example or fully keeping His command to love one’s neighbor, can one truly go to heaven simply by believing in Christ’s crucifixion and the existence of God, without any fruit? My conscience is troubled by this. Is mere belief, based only on determination and assertion, really true faith?

 

42. Some say that simply believing—saying, “I believe”—is enough for heaven and salvation. Yet the New Testament contains thousands of commands to keep, to do, to practice. How then can belief alone be sufficient? What is the true standard?

 

43. Jesus said, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also.” But I have never seen a true church of Christ living out the love of the cross, not even a single pastor giving his life for the poor and helpless sheep. I have only seen churches putting up banners saying, “We practice the love of the cross.” Where is the true example?

 

44. Many churches claim they practice the love of the cross, yet when I visited, they did not care for the poor and needy. And even when they did, it was only the moral charity that anyone in the world can do. Is this really the love of the cross the Bible speaks of? The world mocks such hypocrisy. I sought a church that truly lives this out, but found only disappointment and wounds. Is there truly no pastor or church that can lead us into the love of the cross?

 

45. Why did God distinguish between clean and unclean animals from the beginning? Why are some called abominable? What is the standard?

 

46. In the time of Moses, why did God heal the people with a bronze serpent—the very image of the enemy—rather than His own holy sign? I cannot understand this.

 

47. In the Gospels, when Jesus rose and appeared to His disciples, why did they not recognize Him? And why were they afraid instead of rejoicing? The Bible says He appeared “in another form.” What is this form?

 

48. In Matthew 21:31, Jesus said, “The publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.” Does this mean corrupt priests were worse than tax collectors and prostitutes? Does this mean even priests who persecuted Jesus could go to heaven? Do tax collectors and prostitutes go to hell or to heaven? Please explain clearly.

 

49. Many pastors today claim that Jesus will return in the air, and believers will be raptured alive. Is this truly biblical? What is their basis for claiming that His return is imminent?

 

50. On subways and streets, some cry, “Jesus heaven, unbelievers hell.” But to unbelievers, this seems offensive, even repulsive. Is this really the true way of evangelism according to the Word?

 

51. No one calls himself a heretic, yet churches fight over who is heretical. Why are there so many denominations—Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, Holiness, etc.—when the Spirit and truth are one? What is the true biblical standard of heresy? Why is it that heresy one day becomes accepted Christianity the next?

 

52. The Apostles’ Creed says, “the communion of saints.” But when I visited another church, my pastor rebuked me as a hypocrite. If so, then why is the creed taught? The word “hypocrite” in the Bible means one who imitates outward holiness like the Pharisees. Which is correct—the creed or my pastor’s rebuke? Please clarify.

 

53. I feel disillusioned with the church. Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” but churches judge by how many are evangelized, how much tithe is given, or by outward appearances. Pastors live in luxury on offerings from poor members, driving expensive cars, sending their children overseas. Even the world sees this hypocrisy. Is this really the love and gospel of Christ?

 

54. Many pastors say, “The family is a small church.” But the Bible says, “God is the defender of the fatherless, the widow, and the stranger” (Psalm 82:3–7). Christ said He came not to bring peace but division even within families (Matthew 10:34–39; Luke 12:51–53). Paul wrote, “No soldier entangles himself with civilian affairs” (2 Timothy 2:3–4). Nowhere does the Bible teach “the family is a small church.” Why then do pastors preach this?

 

55. If we pray in the name of God or Christ, or under the cross, does God always hear and answer? Many claim they received answers. But what is the true way to pray, and how can we know if the answer is truly from God?

 

56. Though I repent and reflect, I return to sin again and again, and I find myself justifying it. Pastors tell me to have confidence in my salvation, but my conscience resists. Is true rebirth not living a life free from sin? Yet nearly all believers live in a cycle of sinning and repenting. Is this really the repentance of Christ? And how can one escape this cycle? What truly is the Holy Spirit?

 

57. I have seen many longtime church members. Outwardly they smile, but in reality they gossip, quarrel, and become hard-hearted. Some once pure people became harsh and greedy after attending church. Is this truly the fruit of rebirth in Christ?

 

58. Some pastors say that practicing the love of the cross is “works-based faith.” But the Bible contains over four thousand commands to act, practice, and obey. Why is action called “works-based”? What is the true faith of the cross?

 

59. Many pastors’ sermons are filled with “Do you believe your sins are forgiven? Amen. Do you believe you received the Spirit? Amen. Do you believe your family will be blessed? Amen.” Yet I never saw these things happen. If their words were true, no one in church would be poor or sick. But churches are full of suffering. Should we really respond “Amen” to such words, when they never come true?

 

60. The Bible says, “All things are lawful, but not all are beneficial.” It says, “Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.” Yet pastors say, “Ask and you will receive,” and people pray for material things. Which is right—the Word or the pastors?

 

61. Many pray, “Satan, depart! Devil, get out! By the blood of Jesus!” Yet in the Bible, Christ and His disciples commanded demons only when confronting them directly, never by endlessly repeating such phrases in prayer all night. Is this kind of prayer really from God? Or is it meaningless, even demonic?

 

62. Some religions say, “The cross is an idol.” What is true? Constantine made the cross a Christian symbol, but the apostles never used it. Should we really believe in the cross as a sign of Christ?

 

63. A blind man once asked his pastor, “Why was I born blind, unlike others?” The pastor said, “It is God’s grace. Some die at birth, some are aborted.” Then the blind man asked, “If so, where is the justice of God for those who never saw light?” No pastor could answer. What is the truth?

 

64. A farmer wept to his pastor, “The Bible says we reap what we sow. I gave much tithe, worked hard, prayed, studied, and farmed diligently, yet floods and storms destroyed my harvest. Is God’s Word true? Why did He not let me reap?”

 

65. A family that served the church faithfully for three generations, giving most of their wealth, suddenly died in a highway accident. Why did God allow this? Do pastors who cannot explain this truly have the anointing of the Spirit?

 

66. Church leaders and pastors sometimes die in accidents while going to revivals or missions. Why does this happen if they are God’s servants?

 

67. If the wooden cross is the sign of Christ, then does that mean that from Genesis until Abraham and Moses, when there was no cross, no one was saved?

 

68. A massive church cross tower was struck by lightning and destroyed. How should this be interpreted? Is the cross really the sign of Christ?

 

69. Revelation 14:1–4 and 21:9–27 say only the twelve tribes of Israel will be saved. Then does this mean that Koreans, Americans, and others cannot be saved?

 

70. Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34 record Jesus crying, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” But Luke 23:46 records Him saying, “Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.” One is complaint, the other is trust. Which is true? And how can this be reconciled with Matthew 26:31–32 and Luke 23:43, where Jesus promised His disciples to go before them into Galilee?
