Challenging Topics

I am intereseted in ideas that are challenging, and try to find the best answers or explanations.

These are classically difficult topics for which there are no simple answers. And yet I believe answers exist - even though they may themselves remain challenging.

There are many, many things in life for which we simply do not have complete information or understanding. Both the questions and the answers may contain paradoxes or mysteries. In a context with a loving and good God, however, that can be OK. •••

A mystery is that which we believe has a good answer, however, we don't yet have access to the answer. Essentially, mysteries carry the promise of a more full answer later from someone in whom we already have trust based on good evidence.

For instance: For a long time in the bible there was a mystery about how God would solve the problem of human relationships with God regarding sin. The answer to this mystery was revealed in Jesus. (Colossians 1:26-27, Ephesians 1:7-10)

(This list is still short - more to be added.)
