“If God doesn’t hear some prayers, how can He be omniscient?”

Our sins make a separation between us and God. He resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Psalm 66:18 says that if I have sin in my heart “the Lord will not hear me.” In other words the ungodly don’t have His ready ear unless they approach Him in humility.

“There is proof of evolution. Have you noticed how children are taller these days? Welcome to observed evolution, change over time.”

That isn’t Darwinian evolution (as Richard Dawkins likes to call it). That’s adaptation within the human kind (family). We see that happening throughout all of nature. It has nothing to do with evolution.

Watch www.evolutionVsGod.com to see the difference.

"I’ll wait until I am old, then I’ll get right with God."

You may not get the chance. Jesus told of a man who boasted that he had so many material goods that he would have to build bigger barns. God called the man a fool and death took him that night.

Today two Jehovah’s Witnesses came to our door.

If you don’t know how to share the gospel with JW’s, let me tell you what I do. I say, “There’s a knife in my back. I have three minutes to live. How can I enter the Kingdom?” I asked that today, and they couldn’t help me.

The biblical answer is to simply trust alone in Jesus--that everlasting life is the gift of God (see Ephesians 2:8-9).

But JW’s are a “works righteousness” religion (as are all religions outside of biblical Christianity). They think that they have to DO something to earn their way into the Kingdom. They believe that, because (like most religious people) they haven’t seen their sin in its true light. For that they need the moral Law (the Ten Commandments).

Think of the thief on the cross. He said that he was justly being crucified. I don’t think that he was saying that Roman law was fair and just—capital punishment for theft! I think he was pointing to God’s Law rather than man's. He was justly dying because he had sinned against God.

It was in that hopeless condition that he turned to Jesus and said, “Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” He couldn’t DO anything because his hands were nailed by the law to the cross. He couldn’t go anywhere, because his feet were nailed by the law to the cross.

Neither can we do anything or go anywhere to be saved, because we too have been nailed by the Law of God as guilty, deserving death and Hell. All we can do is turn to Jesus and trust in the mercy of God. We in essence say, “Lord! remember me.” And He will.

“The Bible is the oral history of bronze age sheep herders, written down. They really didn't know much about why things happened. ..Just sit down and read it, start to finish. You will understand better."

The Bible will make sense when you come to know the Author. It is filled with history of an ancient people, but it also tells you how to get everlasting life.

You seemed to have missed that part. Figure that out and you will understand better.

The authors of the bible were human, you can believe they were inspired by god , or by aliens or by santa clause or whatever.

But its still a book written by uniformed humans who in their pre modern-science understanding of the universe, put earth as the centre piece and claimed the moon gives out light, which are all laughable claims by our current scientific understanding.

Or are we going to forget how it blatantly exonerates and condones human slavery and genocide. This is understandable given it was written by ancient bronze aged cattle herders, with a penance for violence.,... but don't pretend it was "inspired" by some all knowing deity.


List of useful technological/scientific/moral knowledge (that was previously unknown) given to us by the bible >>> 0

“Sin was constructed by Christians in order to dominate and control the weak.”

It may be true that religion has been used to control the masses. However, the concept of sin wasn’t invented by Christians. “Sin” is just another word for evil, and evil (murder, rape, theft, etc.) happens every day.

“Only a sick person would create us as sinners and then threaten us to get better on pain of death.”

Tragic though it is that we have inherited a sinful Adamic nature, we are morally responsible for our sins. “Adam made me do it” is no defense in criminal court, and it won’t be a defense on the Day of Judgment.

"I do not believe in evolution. I do not choose what I believe. I am compelled to believe what I believe by the presentation of evidence which leads only to one logical conclusion. ...That is why we believe it."

Look at your words: "I do not believe...what I believe...what I believe...that's why we believe." Evolution is completely faith-based. It's a belief. Nothing is observable without having to exercise a blind faith.

“The Bible is a story book, just like a book of Fairy Tales.”

The Bible may look like a book of fairytales—if you deny the supernatural. A right understanding of the power of God opens the door to the normally impossible.

“When people talk about slavery in the Bible and say the Bible advocates it, what do you say to them when they refuse to accept that slavery in the Bible is different from slavery centuries ago in America?” Steven Gorges

You have to remember that being anti-Bible for many is a hill upon which they will die. It’s a huge deal, because if the Bible is God’s Word then they are accountable for adultery, fornication, for sinful imaginations, and for lust (which the Bible says is adultery of the heart). So their hard-nosed agenda is to prove that the God of the Bible is unjust in His judgments, and therefore any thought of Judgment Day and Hell is bogus.

So they are searching after truth about as much as a man dying of thirst searches after salt. They rather want to bolster their case for an evil Bible, so they fortify themselves with what they think are mistakes, contradictions, and atrocities, etc.
If you explain that biblical slavery was akin to being a servant to pay off debt, the skeptic will just run off to cut and paste more problems he has with the Bible.

The only effective way to convince him is to move away from his contentious intellect (his carnal mind) and appeal to his God-given society-shaped conscience and take him through the moral Law. With the help of God your aim is to make him thirst after righteousness. It was only when I saw my sins (way back in 1972) that I began to see my danger and whisper “What must I do to be made right with God?” The salt of the Law made me thirst for the righteousness that can only be found in Christ.

“If God created cancer, He is bad.”

If God created cancer, then He is real and you have to face Him on Judgment Day--guilty of a multitude of crimes against His Law. You will be on trial on that Day, not God.

“The Bible is rife with historical inaccuracies.”

To provide evidence for such a claim you will need to have faith in history books that were written by fallible men. The Bible was written by men who were inspired by an infallible God, and so it is 100% historically accurate. Not believing the Scriptures doesn’t change that fact.

“People have been waiting for Judgment Day since the introduction of Christianity.”

The Bible predicts that skeptics would say this, and they do so because they don’t know that God created time and dwells outside of its dimension.
The Bibles says a day to the Lord is a thousand years to us. He is patiently waiting, not willing that any perish, but that all come to repentance.

“How do I know God exists?”

There are at least two evidences. One is creation. It is scientifically impossible for Nature to create itself.

The second is your conscience. God has given you moral knowledge of right and wrong. It is shaped by society, but given to you by your Creator, so you are without excuse for your crimes against His Law.

“The Bible is simply outdated.”

While it is filled with ancient laws that God gave to the Hebrew nation, it tells tomorrow’s news before it happens. See Matthew 24, Luke 21, 1 Timothy 4, 2 Timothy 3 for some examples.

It also tells us how to get everlasting life, and warns of a coming Day of Judgment for all of humanity.

You had better take another look.

“Christians are mean-spirited and I reckon about as far away from what Jesus seemed to be about as you could get.”

Jesus spoke of sin, God’s perfect righteousness, and of the existence of Hell. He said the world would hate Him because He accused them of sin, and that they would hate Christians because they belonged to Him.

You are guilty of creating "another Jesus" (something the Bible calls “idolatry”).

"Jews laugh at Christianity."

Jesus was Jewish. The disciples were Jewish. The first 13,000 converts were Jewish, Christianity was birthed in the land of the Jews, the New Testament was written by Jews, and Christians believe that the Jewish scriptures are God's Word. I'm Jewish, and any Jew who believes the God-breathed Old Testament will embrace Jesus of Nazareth as their promised Messiah.

No one will get to Heaven by loving anyone or everyone. Eternal life is a free gift of God. Nothing we do can earn it.

There are no flaws. The Bible often uses “hyperbole,” by contrasting love and hate, for emphasis.

It’s not my way. Jesus is the One who said that no one can get to God but through Him.

While we may be confused as to which (of all the different denominations) is right, God knows those that love Him. Those that love Him obey Him by trusting in the only Savior He provided, and they are the ones that will be in Heaven.

“Which is the right God?"

There is only one Creator—that’s the One who gave Moses the Ten Commandments, the One who provided the only Saviour--the One who can save you from a very real Hell.

Jesus said, “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself” (John 7:17). Do the will of God—repent and trust in Jesus, and you will know the truth .
