[Serious Discussion] Religion

[Maddolis]

I'll try to help, SAFC.
Haven't been very religious for a while but I went to church for a fair time.

In Christianity, is God all knowing of what we do, think and feel?

He's meant to be, yeah.

If Jesus was the son of God, why doesn't that make Adam his son also? He was created first so that makes him the first son of God, right?

More of a semantic question IMO, if we're all meant to be "God's Children" or "Children of God" then yes, Adam would be one of God's children, but I think the Church means for us to be children of God in a more metaphorical sense. The whole bible's full to the brim of metaphors.

In Christianity it's believed that God is in three parts. The father, the son and the holy spirit. What was God the father before Jesus was created?

That's more catholicism (which is a branch of Christianity)- whereas I think more straightforward Christians are more concerned with just Jesus rather than God and the Holy Spirit (don't quote me on that though). God's meant to be the father, Jesus the son but I wouldn't have a clue as to exactly what the Holy Spirit's meant to be. Perhaps when Jesus was meant to have cured the blind or resurrected the dead, he called upon the 'holy spirit' (like the force, in Star Wars, perhaps?) to assist.

Why did God need to create a third part of himself? Would that mean he was incomplete before God the son was created?

Ohhh now I understand your question- it's not that God is in "three parts," but that Christians praise the three things- God (the father), his son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.

If Jesus died for our sins, why should anyone make an effort to do good? According to Christianity we're pre-forgiven, so does hell exist? If it does what's the purpose of hell if we're all forgiven already? If I'm wrong then what would cause someone to goto hell?

This was never preached at the church I went to but supposedly we're all meant to have "original sin." This completely contradicts Jesus dying for our sins so it'd be a good idea to ask a Priest or someone who's studied religion properly about this.
