dairygirl4u2c Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 (edited) I think mine would be why pain exists. and that includes if having pain allows us to appreciate pleasure, why we need that to be the way it is. and it includes if it's sin that causes pain, why we have that punishment for sin. and why we have free will if the sin is a result of our bad choices. and if free will and the resulting pain is just the result and that's the way it is, if that's just the way it is and that's all. either that or if the CC is true. either that or something regarding the exact ramifications of the atonement, but that's a complicated question and won't go there. so you can see questions are always loaded, but let's see what you guys got Edited October 19, 2006 by dairygirl4u2c
Jabberwocky Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 If I could ask God a question, I would probably ask him what he wants me to do while I am on earth to serve Him...at least, that is the first thing that comes to mind. Even if it's an answer that's already been said countless times (follow my commandments, sell what you have and give to the poor)...
jswranch Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 No brainer... How can I serve you better? If the response was, "You can only ask theology questions," then I would ask: How much longer?

[/quote] Two points of study for you... 1. What is the CC deffinition of apostolic succession from a scriptural perspective. 2. Did the power and influence of the apostles cease with the death of the last apostle, or do the descendants of the apostles still carry authority to spiritually bind and loose to this day?
Fulton Sheen Warrior Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 +JMJ+ I would ask what His will for me is. [quote]jswranch Posted Yesterday, 11:23 PM Two points of study for you... 1.

kamiller42 Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 [quote name='scardella' post='1095852' date='Oct 19 2006, 01:08 PM'] Are guitars allowed at Mass? [/quote]
cmotherofpirl Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I can just see me asking "why" and Him saying like all good daddies "Because I said so".
Noel's angel Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 I'd probably just stand (or more likely kneel) in front of Him in complete awe.

Resurrexi Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) What is the fate of my immortal soul? Edited October 22, 2006 by StThomasMore
heavenseeker Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I would ask him what the answer to the ultamit(sp?) question is... then laugh my dead guts out if he said 42. but to be serious What's the meaning of life?
Resurrexi Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Why would you ask Him that? He's already said that it's to know, love and serve Him.
heavenseeker Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 because i feel like there is something more to it besides that like the answer is an iceburg and that statement isn't even the entire vissible part of it.
Resurrexi Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I can't believe noone else would want to know if they'd go to hell or heaven
heavenseeker Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I think everyone else just figures that if you're talking to God then you must be in heaven.
prose Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 I wouldn't ask if I was going to heaven or hell b/c I believe in free will and not predestination. I would ask.... What would you like me to do better?
LuchaporElRey21 Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Does this mean when I get to Heaven or before? Because, God willing, if I get to Heaven, all will be revealed. So I would have no need to ask anything. As for here, He gives us as much as is fitting for our journey. Any other knowledge that I could ask for would be based upon my own judgement, which is faulty. We just have to trust Him, which is the hardest thing of all. As Thomas a'Kempis puts it, man more often than not loses grace and falls by striving after things which are beyond him. Better to recognize our lowness and approach Him with humility. Just my spin on it.
