good questions from discussions

In this past youth night discussions, some of my youth asked some very deep questions. I don't mean deep as is, there is a shallow question, but deep as in, whether I know or understand the question or not, it still takes time to process and think about the many implications and true to life applications of the it, far after just stating the answer. Thats why I like discussions. :)

I did not make up any of this, these are honest questions our youth ask, and there are more besides these.

How do I know God is real?

Can I really trust the Bible is true?

Can I believe anything is true at all? (maybe its all a lie)

If someone says they believe in God, why cant they forgive others willingly? (tough question since we could only come up with a theoretical churchy answer)

If we are honest, none of these are easy answers, and even if they seem simple, the application of it is far more complicated then meets the eye.
