Questions about Christianity

What is the Bible? What is God like? What is the Trinity? What is Creation? What is Prayer? What are Angels? What is Man? What is Sin? Who is Christ? What is Atonement? What is the Resurrection? What does it mean to become a Christian? What is Death? What is the Church? What is Heaven?

Tough Questions

Can you trust the Bible? Has Science disproven God? If there is a God, why does he allow Suffering? Wasn't Jesus just a great teacher? Why bother with Church? Isn't believing in the resurrection ridiculous? How can a loving God send anyone to Hell? Aren't all religions basically the same? Doesn't becoming a Christian mean becoming boring? Isn't Christianity just something people use to control others? Surely it's arrogant to say that your religion is the only right one? Doesn't Christianity just cause Conflict? I'm a decent person, surely I'll be fine? Does God even Exist? If God made everything, Who made God?
