Questions Christians do not dare to ask

There are many questions that Christians dare not ask, or that they never think of asking. Here are a few, in no particular order:

— If God is love (1 John 4:8), why does God tolerate the existence of Hell? Could YOU stand the idea of someone you loved being tortured horribly for all eternity? Don't you think God just MIGHT be more loving than you are?

— If God is all-powerful and all-wise (omnipotent and omniscient), why did God put the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden to begin with? Wasn't God smart enough to understand the legal idea of an "attractive nuisance"?

— If Adam was standing right there next to Eve when she was talking with the serpent (Gen. 3:6), why didn't he say, "Hey, wait a minute, Eve is right; God said not to eat the fruit"? Why didn't he say ANYTHING AT ALL?!

— Why did Adam blame Eve for HIS action (Gen. 3:12)? Why did Eve get punished with labor pains and enslavement to Adam, while Adam was rewarded for his craven lie with dominion over Eve and a nice leather jacket (3:16,21)?

— The Bible says that Adam, Eve, Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and 70 elders of Israel saw God face-to-face (Gen. 2-3, Ex. 24:9-10). Why hasn't anyone seen God face-to-face LATELY, like within the last 3,250 years?

— If God is everywhere (omnipresent), how could ANYONE see God face to face?

— If God is ALL-powerful, why was God's only choice EITHER to condemn the entire Universe to Hell for all eternity, OR to (a) become "God in a man-suit," (b) deliberately go to Jerusalem when he knew his enemies were out to get him, (c) deliberately get arrested, tried, and condemned to death for insurgency, and (d) die in the worst agony anyone can imagine? Isn't God smart enough to think of a third choice?

— Gen. 4:15 says that God put a special mark on Cain so that no one would try him for murder, judge him, find him guilty (after all, he WAS guilty!), and execute him. Why? According to the Bible, the only three people alive in the world were Adam, Eve, and their only surviving son!

— Jesus said that if you had enough faith in God, anyone could make a mountain change its physical location. So why hasn't ANYONE had enough faith, in two thousand years?

— If Jesus was really "God in a man-suit," why did he always insist that ONLY God was worthy of worship? Why did he say, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone" (Luke 18:19)?

— Fig trees bear their fruit in August. Why did Jesus get mad
