Hey Keith! Awesome question! And the cool thing, is I know you are going to give some scripturally sound answers on your360-you all should check it out! This guy knows what he's talking about! Ok, here's my questions friend:
1) Does God hear the prayers of unbelievers?
2) Is it wrong for me to get angry when people mock God?
3) When God said the feasts and festivals are for all generations, did He mean that we are suppose to observe them, as believers?
4) Can you explain Gen. 4:22?
5) How can I understand the old testament better? It's so long, I have trouble comprehending so much of it.
6) I dont understand the"sons of God" and"daughters of man".
7) How do we seperate the evil from inside us?

Keith,
I think this idea of yours is a very good one.
Although I have been studying the Bible for many years (and I love to do it), I have some problems in understanding a few problems.
One of them is:
How can I explain (to others and to myself) what it is written in the Old Testament that GOD, who is LOVE and whom I love, ordered so many times His children of Israel to kill with such cruelty so many people, even breast children, pregnant women?
In the last year I´ve been thinking that it was not an order of God, but of men, thinking or pretending it was God´s.
See you!

Some controversial issues are:-
1). Trinity
- God the father - God the Son -and the Holy ghost.
2). Adam's disobedience to God.
3). Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
It is only the Holy spirit that interprets these controversial issues to the truly born-again/genuine Christians.

My problem at first was knowing when to decipher hyperbole vs metaphor vs literalization.
But now I rely solely on the Holy Spirit of God to guide me through it

Why are many Christians hypocrites? Why do they stand with the wrong just to convert people and not with what is right just because it is what is right? Why do they only want to live the parts of the bible that they want to live? Why do they twist things to conform to their meaning and give others little meaning? Why don't they believe in truth, justice, and honesty? That bothers me a lot.

We have our own personal difficulties. The Holy Spirit helps us understand as we are ready.

Unless you can read Sumerian, I don't think you can help me. That's my next project.
