- If God is all loving why is there evil?
- Does free will mean we suffer?
- Why are there contradictions in the Bible?
- Things him and his wife did felt like an obligation and not enjoyable
- Why is Christian ministry oppressive?
- Each point is looked at, some more deeply in future episodes
- How is God all loving and yet allows evil?
- Does free will mean we suffer? What about predestination?
