Things that make you go hmm

Things that make you go Hmm? This is the current series I am giving messages on - tough questions. So far we have done how can a loving God allow pain and suffering and is there really any right and wrong? The bottom line on the pain and suffering question is that God loved us enough to give us free will regardless of the consequences of that and the only way to eliminate all pain and suffering is to eliminate free will. On the right and wrong question we were dealing with the concept of absolutes vs relativity. Bottom line - we all have an internal moral standard and all discussion regarding right and wrong refer to a higher standard that we try to measure all other standards by. This is indicative of there being a true right and wrong, absolutes.

Our next message is on only one way to heaven. How arrogant of us to presume our "religion" is the only way (sarcasm). What makes us think our way is the only way - why our we so special? This is what we will be looking into next Sunday.
