I'd like to believe in God, but I just can't. No matter how hard I try, God just doesn't seem real to me. What would you say to someone like me?

I know God is supposed to be powerful, but is there anything that God can't do? I've often wondered about this. For example, do you think it might be impossible for God to overcome evil, since it seems so strong?

Do Christians actually worship three different Gods – the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit? My neighbor follows another religion, and she says this is what Christians believe. I've never thought much about it myself.

I've lived about as bad a life as anyone could, but now I've given my life to Jesus and I'm a changed person. How could I have been so blind all those years? People tried to wake me up, but I just laughed. I wish I'd listened. I wish too I could wake up my old friends.

I get upset with people who say you can only find spiritual enlightenment by believing in Jesus. I've chosen to follow a different path, and so far it satisfies me. In my view, there are many paths to spiritual enlightenment, and we each must find the one that meets our needs.

I'm 95 years old and I know I don't have much longer to live. I've gone to church all my life, but is that enough to get me into heaven? I'm honestly not sure if I'm saved or not, and I wish I knew. Or does God keep us guessing until we die?
