Better Explanations from a Value System Perspective: Intro

Good explanations help us understand our world. Conventional Christianity had left me with some problems and questions I could not answer. However, using a theological perspective based on relationships and the value system of God has produced better explanations for me than other perspectives.

• Why are lies so personally painful?
• Why is Jesus the only way to God?
• What makes heaven desirable? Why is hell horrible?
• Why does God not forgive us if we are not forgiving to others?
• What actually is the holiness of God?
• What went wrong with Adam and Eve in Eden?
• Why did Moses hide his face with the veil? What is the glory of God?
• What is spiritual growth and spiritual maturity?
• Why did Jesus choose to die on the cross? How can we love the unlovely?
• Why is Jesus death effective for me?
• Why was Jesus treated so badly at the cross?
• What is blessing and cursing?
• Why does God seem to not answer our prayers?
