Questions Answered by “Take Me to the Truth”

The framework described in Take Me to the Truth by Nune Sanchez answers the following questions:

  • What does God the Father look like?
  • How did God create the universe by speaking light into existence? 
  • Why was mankind created?
  • Why did God command that Man not aquire knowledge of good and evil?
  • Why is there evil in the world? 
  • Why did God curse Man with working to get what he want?
  • Why did God list His characteristics as: Mercy and Compassion, Grace, Patience, Love, Faithfulness, Truth, and Justice?
  • Why did Satan want Christ to worship him?
  • How was Christ able to perform many cold reads?
  • What is meant by “Your faith has made you whole”?
  • How were people healed by having their sins forgiven?
  • How did Christ’s modeling the ultimate sacrifice save mankind?
  • Why did Christ have to leave the illusion realm so that men can receive the holy Spirit the holy spirit?
  • Did Christ ascend to heaven bodily or spiritually?
  • How is eternity a property and not a time frame?
  • How does prayer actually work?
  • What do we receive when we ask, seek, and knock?
  • What did Christ mean when he said with enough faith, you can cast the mountain into the sea?
  • Why should we cast the log out of our eye before we comment on the splinter in someone else’s?
  • How can imagining a sin be the same as committing it?
  • How is being unhappy with any situation the same as being unhappy with God?
  • I see the parallel between the book and the book of James. James says that every time we face trials we have a choice. We can either have faith in God and trust in Him or we can or we can fall to the temptation to handle it ourselves which leads to bad results.
  • Why do the apostle Paul and the minor prophets all say “the just still live by faith”?
  • What does it mean to be reconciled to God and why is it important?
