Last night I got bored at work and listed a few of the most common objections to Christianity. I plan to eventually compile a document listed roughly 3 points in answer to each of these objections. (I came up with 21 on my own, but these are the most common ones, I think.)
1. I cannot be a Christian because I do not believe in God.
2. Jesus Christ is really an offshoot of other miracle workers mentioned in pagan history and his life combines elements from several myths (i.e., the virgin birth, the resurrection).
3. God cannot exist because there is too much pain and suffering in the world.
4. The Bible cannot be trusted because it contains contradictions and errors.
5. I cannot be a Christian because Christians are too intolerant of issues such as abortion and homosexuality.
6. Christianity cannot possibly be true when there are hundreds of other world religions in the world.
7. Christianity claims that it is the only truth in the world and that it is the only way to heaven. Given all the religions in the world, this is simply an intolerant claim.
Please share with me some of the ones you have heard.
Christianity might have errors. But God does not.
The difference is.. we are of the flesh and will have the sin of the flesh.
God is not of the flesh but of a pure spirit.
