QUESTIONS

THE DIGG MINISTRIES

01

What if the Gospel is true?

In my perspective, this stands as life's most pivotal question, as eventually, each person you know must grapple with an answer. I hold the belief that resolving this question provides a deeper understanding of one's purpose in life. I extend an invitation for you to embark on this journey with me.

02

God

Does God exist, and if so, what is God like?

  • Why it matters: This question lies at the heart of all theology. It governs the framework for belief, practice, morality, and eschatology. It also affects questions of meaning, purpose, and cosmology.

  • Key theological debates: Classical theism vs. panentheism; personal God vs. impersonal force; attributes of God (omnipotence, omnibenevolence, omniscience).

  • Biblical loci: Exodus 3:14 (“I AM WHO I AM”), Psalm 14:1, Romans 1:20.

03

Evil

Why is there evil and suffering in a world created by a good and powerful God?

  • The "Problem of Evil": Theodicy—justifying God in the face of evil—has been central to both Jewish and Christian theology.

  • Types: Moral evil (human-caused) and natural evil (suffering from natural causes).

  • Key texts: Job 1–2; Lamentations; Luke 13:1–5; Romans 8:18–23.

  • Modern discussions: Holocaust theology, liberation theology, and process theology respond directly to this question.

04

Being Human

What does it mean to be human, and what is humanity’s relationship to God?

  • Anthropology: Are humans made in the "image of God" (imago Dei), and if so, what does that entail—reason, moral capacity, dominion, or relational capacity?

  • Key texts: Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 8; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 5.

  • Theological stakes: Free will, original sin, salvation, and eschatology all stem from views on human nature.

05

Life

What is the purpose of life and how should we live?

  • Ethical-theological dimension: What constitutes "the good"? Are we saved by faith, works, grace, or some combination? What does God require of us?

  • Key texts: Micah 6:8; Ecclesiastes 12:13–14; Matthew 22:37–40; Romans 12.

  • Philosophical overlap: This question merges with existentialist concerns about meaning and ethics

06

After Life

What happens after death, and is there ultimate justice or redemption?

  • Eschatology: The fate of the soul, resurrection, judgment, heaven/hell, new creation.

  • Developmental trajectory:

    • Hebrew Bible: Sheol and a shadowy existence.

    • Second Temple Judaism: Resurrection (Daniel 12:2, 2 Maccabees 7).

    • New Testament: Heaven/hell, resurrection of the dead, apocalyptic judgment (e.g., 1 Corinthians 15; Revelation 20–21).

  • Contemporary concern: The moral arc of history and the hope for justice beyond this life.
