Guys, it was great to open up the floor to questions and discussion at Skylight Lounge. Thanks for being honest, open and contributing; we really did all learn from each other. One thing that really helps when addressing these issues is getting away from 'Christianese' and thinking, honestly, how would you want this to be answered so it means something to you? Personal experiences very welcome, if you're happy to share...
I've grouped the different questions into 'Stuff in the Bible' 'How do I/we live as a Christian(s)?' as individual posts.
If you'd like to carry on the discussion from Skylight Lounge on Sunday, respond here:
Q: Why does God sometimes feel absent in the hard times? How do we deal with 'unanswered' prayer? How do you keep trusting in the 'silence'? What about spiritual attack; how can you tell if it's attack and how do you deal with it?

Stuff in the Bible: Questions...
Q: Who is Jesus - REALLY? To me, to him, before he died, after he died, today...?
Q: Why do some people become Christians and not others, if God loves us all equally?
Q: Acts 2:17-20 (look up: www.biblegatway.com) We always talk about verses 17-18 and say they are for today, but what about 19-20?
Q: In Romans, Paul talks about Jesus dying and then says a person might die for a 'good man' but a person wouldn't die for a 'righteous man'. If you're a 'righteous man' surely you have to be 'good' as well? Can you be righteous without being good?
Q: Between Jesus dying and being resurrected, what did his spirit do/go?

How do we live as Christians? Questions...
Q: How often and when should I read my Bible? And in what way?
Q: How, when and why should I/we fast?
Q: In the scriptures, Jesus tells us to give to those who ask of you. To what extent are we doing this today?
Q: If you are not married do you think God has somebody special out there for you?
Q: To what extent does the church relect God's values rather than the world's? Does the church enable us to model Jesus' lifestyle? If not, how do we move to a place where it does?
