What is the nature of mankind?
Man's nature is sinful because of Adam's first sin against God. When Adam sinned, he made us all sinful and wicked, not how God had made us to be. Our mind, will, intellect and emotions are not prone to righteousness. To solve this problem God promised to make things right and save us. So he sent his son to save us. He also transforms our mind, will, intellect and emotions, giving us the ability to have a godly nature.

What is the cause of evil and suffering?
The cause of evil and suffering is Adams first sin in the garden of eden. When Adam sinned, we all inherited a sinful nature as well as bodies that are now suseptible to disease and illness. The world also was changed and is not in it's perfect state. Some suffering is self inflicted. Some actions have natural consequences such as if we make poor choices, naturally bad things happen to us. Often suffering builds our character and makes us depend on God. Sometimes we suffer because the devil is in the details. Like in Job, the devil can cause us pain, but God has a big plan, and it is already in action. Did God create evil? No. In Genesis God says that the world He created is good. It became imperfect when Adam sinned.
What is God like?
God is all powerful and all knowing. He is eternal. He created the world out of nothing in 6 days. He spoke and it came into being. There are three persons in the Godhead. God is one being, but exists in 3 persons. They are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is transcendent, he excels above all and is separate from his creation. God is immanent. Near, but distinguishable from creation. He is a personal God and he listens to your needs. God is omnipotent ( that means all powerful ). He has power over all creatures. He is omnipresent. He is in all places at the same time. He is fully present at all times. He knows everything. He is omniscient. He is infinite. He is not limited to the universe He created. He will never change. God is compassionate. If we have an accurate view of God, we can see the inconsistencies of other worldviews presented in movies, books, news reports and in conversations.
What happens to man at death?
When a man or woman die, depending on their belief, they will go to heaven or hell. when Hevean is a place of rejoicing and love. Hell, as you probably know, is a place of torment and fire (not a good place). Jesus is preparing a home for us when we die, we will go and live with Him forever. after we die, we will have everlasting life.
What is the meaning of history?
The meaning of history is that we can have stories to tell to our kids, and also that God has a plan for everything. There are two worlds, the seen world and the unseen world. The seen wolrd is the stuff we can see feel and hear. The unseen world consists of angels and demons. demons exist and so do angels. God has a purpose for everything. God has a big huge plan, and it's more complicated than we can imagine.
