How Can I Remain Humble and Teachable?

Question about the behind-the-scenes work that has to be done to write a book, an article, or an in-person talk.

Questions about why God would give us an unclear book that condones awful practices, and how we can know that commands for the Israelites to kill all the inhabitants of a city were truly commands from God rather than from men who falsely attributed their own commands to God.

Questions about what to say to those who refuse to engage with a “script” and questions to ask someone who doesn’t care about spiritual things to get them to care about eternity now.

Questions about whether God’s moral laws are merely subjective if he can command us to break them, and whether contrasting the Torah with barbaric Near Eastern laws to show moral improvement proves anything since you can’t justify bad laws by comparing them to worse ones.

Questions about why God went ahead with creation if he knew about all the suffering that was going to happen, why Christians say God is responsible for all the good that happens but not the bad, and whether there’s a more satisfying answer to the problem of evil.
