Most Christians are familiar with only a few selected verses of the Bible that are repeated endlessly without much understanding. The Promise of Heaven points out the lesser-known dark and morbid aspects of the Bible that congregations never hear from religious leaders. Alexander Bless asks controversial questions for believers as well as non-believers to consider. ?What was God doing before creation? If God created everything out of nothing (Gen.1:1) did he exist in the middle of nothing? Was He the only ?something? in nothing? ?In the flood story God destroyed humans as punishment for their sins. Why did He also destroy animals? ?Why did God create humans with all their human failings and then punish them for it? ?Why do you have to fear God? How can you love God if you fear Him? Curiosity is a natural instinct of mankind that drives it to learn and to progress. Paul says in I.Corin.13: 11(DRB) ?When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child.'Bless, Alexander is the author of 'Promise of Heaven To Believe or Not to Believe', published 2005 under ISBN 9780595362325 and ISBN 059536232X.
