I asked ChatGPT 4.0 what it thought the most controversial questions were, about God, and the Bible, and this is what it returned...
"The most controversial questions about God and the Bible often revolve around topics that intersect with science, morality, historical accuracy, and religious interpretation. Some of these questions include:
Creation vs. Evolution: This debate centers on the Biblical account of creation in Genesis versus the scientific theory of evolution. It raises questions about the literal interpretation of the Bible versus a symbolic or allegorical understanding.
Existence of God: The question of whether God exists is a fundamental theological and philosophical issue. Debates often focus on the nature of faith versus empirical evidence.
Problem of Evil: This involves questioning how a benevolent and omnipotent God can allow suffering and evil in the world. It's a central issue in theodicy, the study of divine justice.
Historicity of Biblical Events: Questions about the historical accuracy of events described in the Bible, such as the Exodus or the Resurrection of Jesus, are often debated among scholars and theologians.
Morality and Biblical Laws: Debates about the relevance and interpretation of Biblical laws in modern society, especially those concerning gender roles, sexuality, and social justice, are highly controversial.
Nature of Jesus: Questions about the divinity of Jesus, his relationship to God, and the interpretation of his teachings have been central to Christian theology and have often led to significant doctrinal disagreements.
End Times Prophecies: Interpretations of the Book of Revelation and other prophetic passages about the end of the world and the return of Jesus are varied and often controversial.
Role of Women: The role and status of women as outlined in various parts of the Bible, including teachings on leadership and submission, remain points of debate.
Science and Miracles: The intersection of science and the miraculous events described in the Bible, such as the Virgin Birth or Jesus' miracles, generates debate about the relationship between faith and science."
There was one topic, which I accidentally neglected to answer, and has been excluded from this list, but it's a big part of this ministry.
It was "biblical inerrancy", and that's certainly something I will cover, in more detail in other videos, but either way, it's covered mightily in my Bible History playlist.
I spent an average of a couple minutes, covering each of the questions, above, in this video.
Some more than others, but consider this a quick overview.
It takes an excessive amount of time to format videos, like this, so I will most likely be covering things in bites, moving forward, and compiling them into topical playlists.
Most answers can be summarized into a necessity of learning the scriptures, in order to develop good judgment, and understanding.
The rest can be answered by studying science and history.
The scriptures tell us, in order to get to a point, where one believes in the Word of God (the Truth), it requires humility and, essentially, the acknowledgement of right and wrong. (judgment)
If you are able to humble yourself, acknowledge right from wrong, and seek God with your whole heart, then he will reveal the Spirit of Truth to you, which is Jesus Christ.
Only through Jesus can we know the Truth, and begin to develop righteous judgment.
Only through Jesus can we have life, and sanctify ourselves from this fallen world.
I hope that you will seek, so that you might find, but if that's not something you are willing to do, then don't ever expect to understand God and the Bible.
To seekers who are willing, and interested, however, thank-you for considering my video, God Bless you, and I wish you well in your pursuit for the Truth.
John 17:3 KJV
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
