From unbelievers who are serious about learning about salvation?
“How do we know there really is a God?”
“How do you know God hers your prayers?”
From unbelievers who are merely pawns of Satan?
“What about all the contradictions in the Bible?”
“Did you know the Bible approves of polygamy?”
etc.
If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Good read.
If there is a God, why do so many bad things happen in this world?
Read “The God Questions” by Pastor Hal Seed.
Good topic. Here is a question I receive regularly by young college students who lack logical skills but have a healthy desire to argue:
Q. If God created the universe, then who created the Creator? Heh, heh.
A. Whoa! No one has ever, ever, ever thought of that in five thousand years. You should get a college degree in the mail right now.
A. If everything needed a creator, then we would not be here. But we are here. Thus there is one thing that did not need a creator: God, the Unmoved Mover.
Here’s another common shot from eager students ready to argue.
Q. Who’s to say that Jesus rose from the dead?
A. Are you serious? Have you ever Googled it? Try it, you’ll like it, just like Alka Seltzer.
A. The Romans took notes and they are presently located in the British museum.
A. Spend an hour in prayer and ask Him.
“Do you know if you are going to heaven or hell? How do you know?”
Please explain the ‘Trinity’. (and please, 3 in One is a lubricant, not an explanation).
The question is not meant to be snarky, but THAT kind of question will come from moslems (and others) who are trying to destroy the faith of Christians (especially youth) in the West. In their schools in the West, they are being trained to ask such questions in an effort to ‘correct’ the ‘errors’ of Christians whose Bible has been ‘altered’ (per muhamed) over the centuries.
Another question from moslems trying to destroy faith among Christians weak in their faith is ‘How can you claim your Bible is the ‘Word of God’, when it has been translated at least five times? (From Aramaic to Hebrew to Greek to Latin to German to English.)
Here’s a website with dozens of questions (and answers): http://www.bigobjections.co.uk/
One of the secrets is having questions and answers in plain English.
I’d use an Amplified Bible .. because it is worded in plain English .. and the wording is amplified to help the person understand the reality of Christ and GOD.
Only one question is unanswerable by all scientists.
If there was a big bang that started it all, where did the matter come from that caused it?

Look at khouse.org.
Tell her that the “Learn the Bible in 24 hours” DVD/MP3 app is the way to go.
FYI...it takes way more than 24 hours since you must stop about every 5 minutes to discuss what was presented.
I am __________ (Atheist, muslim, Animist), convert me.
Learning to answer without attacking the other person's belief while at the same time convincing them that their belief is wrong takes training.
I’m not a bad person.
Why would God send me to hell?
