What I want to know about God

Another thing I have been thinking about is really looking into scripture to see what/who God is and what He thinks in many situations. I think this will get me into the Bible more and help me to know God more intimately.

Here is what I want to know more about... things I need to find out on my own in detail

1. What is the Holy Spirit and where do we see it throughout the Bible?
2. Look deeper into Homosexuality in the Bible. I did it for a paper before (in college) but my research was kind of weak
3. What does God say about giving?
4. What is the Church supposed to look like?
5. How do we live out a Christ like life today? How did Jesus witness without awkwardness? How can to I manage life and still really have a life that is sold out to God?
6. What were the absolute true characteristics of Jesus? I'm still not convinced he was always as "pleasant" as everyone thinks. He was more honest about life than many Christians today YET he was flawless and still loved people unconditionally... angry/brash or not
   

So I think that is all for now... I will add more as they come
