20 Honest Questions For Sincere Christians To Consider by Faithscan(op): 11:09am On Jun 24, 2025
20 Honest Questions for Sincere Christians to Consider

Short Introduction

Are you following truth—or tradition?
These 20 questions are for honest Christians willing to reflect deeply. They're not to attack, but to help you think beyond emotion and inherited beliefs.

> “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:32

1. Did Jesus ever clearly and explicitly say, in his own words, “I am God, worship me”?
(If not, why do you believe he is God?)

2. If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, how can He be “killed” or “die” on a cross?
(Who was running the universe during those three days?)

3. Why does the Bible say “God is not a man” (Numbers 23:19) if Jesus is God?

4. Can something be both 100% God and 100% man at the same time without contradiction?
(Is that logical or coherent?)

5. Is believing in a man as God not a form of idolatry (worshipping the creation)?

6. Why do you believe in the Trinity when the term is never mentioned in the Bible?
(Where did the concept actually come from?)

7. Why does the Old Testament emphasize the absolute oneness of God so clearly (e.g. Deuteronomy 6:4)?
(Was God hiding the Trinity for thousands of years?)

8. Why did Jesus pray to God if he was God? Was he praying to himself?

9. If Jesus was “God in the flesh,” who was he referring to when he called on “the Father”?

10. Why did Jesus say, “The Father is greater than I” (John 14:28)?
(If they are equal in the Trinity, why is one greater?)

11. Why did Jesus not know the hour of the Day of Judgment if he was fully God? (Mark 13:32)
(Can an all-knowing God not know something?)

12. Why is salvation in Christianity based on the murder of an innocent man (Jesus) for the sins of others?
(Is that just, or even moral?)

13. Does a loving God need a blood sacrifice to forgive?
(Couldn’t He just forgive like He did in the Old Testament?)

14. If salvation comes through faith alone, why did Jesus say to obey the commandments to enter eternal life? (Matthew 19:17)

15. Why do most Christians follow Paul more than Jesus?
(Jesus taught strict monotheism and obedience to God; Paul focused on grace and faith over law.)

16. Why do so many biblical scholars and historians question the authenticity and authorship of major books in the New Testament?

17. How can a book written decades after Jesus, with anonymous authors, be accepted as God's Word without question?

18. Why are there over 30,000 Christian denominations if the Bible is “clear” and guided by the Holy Spirit?

19. If Jesus came only for the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24), why do Gentiles (non-Jews) claim his message is for them?

20. Would Jesus recognize today’s Christianity—with its rituals, holidays, and beliefs—as his true message?
(Or would he be shocked by how far it has strayed from his teachings?)

Short Conclusion

Truth stands up to questions—falsehood doesn’t.
If these questions shake you, don’t fear it. Real faith begins with honest searching.

Funny you 😂

A Muslim is posting about Christian asking Christians questions in an Islamic forum.

Why can't you guys worship your Allah, face your front and forget about Christianity?
Why are you so concerned about Christianity?
Don't Christians have right to worship their God because Islam exists or because Muslims will raise questions on issues they know not ish on?

Common, you can do better than that.


Let me ask you Muslim one question,
What's the meaning of Jihad?

Have you been honest with yourself the religion that is given humanity problem? Have you ever have taught if that particular religion not existing, world would have peaceful than this?
Did you even know the reason, why, just a religion out of several religions, always saying religion of peace?

I think, the honest questions above are supposed to preoccupied your mind, rather than who/what some people choose to be their God/gods.

Are you interested in the TRUTH or not?
If you are, promise that when you see the TRUTH, you will follow it.

I can help you answer your questions BUT one at a time. Are you up for it?

Secondly, when I answer your question, you must be ready to answer my direct questions.

Do we have a deal?

20 Honest Questions for Sincere Christians to Consider

Short Introduction

Are you following truth—or tradition?
These 20 questions are for honest Christians willing to reflect deeply. They're not to attack, but to help you think beyond emotion and inherited beliefs.
I pray that God will reveal Himself to you. There are many religious church goers who call themselves Christians but they're not. A Christian is someone who has an encounter with Jesus and has chosen to be like Jesus. If you have never encountered Jesus, you cannot be a Christian and you cannot understand the Gospel.

Now, I believe you know who a Christian is. Let me answer your 20 questions. They're actually canal questions that do not touch the spirit of man. They're mere head calculations that carry no spiritual insight.

> “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:32
And what is that Truth? The Truth is the Word of God, and that Word of God is Jesus. Even your Quran agrees to this.

1. Did Jesus ever clearly and explicitly say, in his own words, “I am God, worship me”?
(If not, why do you believe he is God?)
You asked the wrong question actually. Jesus didn't come to the world to proclaim Himself God but to reveal the Father through the Son. You cannot know God any other way except by Revelation. "He who has seen the Son has seen the Father" because the Father and the Son are one.

Jesus does not have to say 'Hey, I'm God, worship me ', just as Adam does not have to declare himself as man to have animals submit themselves to him. We know God by Revelation and not by declaration.

2. If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, how can He be “killed” or “die” on a cross?
(Who was running the universe during those three days?)
That's human logic with all its limitations. The moment you understand that death is not a total cessation of existence but a translation, you'll have your answer to this question. Jesus died physically but was alive spiritually because when we die on earth, we only translate into the spirit realm. We do not cease to be. We are only in another world. A spirit world.

Now, Jesus said He can't be killed but He came to the world for a purpose - redemption. He laid down His life for this purpose and took back His life again. He said "I have power to lay it down and to take it again." That's exactly what He did. He needs to meet Satan in the realm where Satan is, which is hell. He then needs to defeat Satan as a man so as to redeem mankind from the captivity of Satan. This is necessary because man can only be redeemed by man. Since there was no man clean enough to redeem man, all hope was lost for man. God had to intervene by putting on the garment of man. This is why Jesus is the only sinless man who ever lived. And only this sinless man can redeem man. When He died, He went to hell, defeated Satan and got redemption for those who believe. He never ceased to be. He was just in another realm.

3. Why does the Bible say “God is not a man” (Numbers 23:19) if Jesus is God?
That "God is not a man* does not mean that God cannot dwell or appear in a human form if He wants to. And He actually did so because He needed to fulfil a task for man which man could not fulfil by himself. Angels too are not men but they do appear in human form.

Do you watch movies? A human is not a vampire but humans do act vampires in movies to fulfil a purpose for that period of the movie. That does not make the actor or actress a vampire. He or she is still human. This applies to Jesus. God making Himself man does not mean He's no more God. Jesus is just the man appearance of God that acted as the Redeemer in God's giant plan of redemption.

4. Can something be both 100% God and 100% man at the same time without contradiction?
(Is that logical or coherent?)
Earth's logic is not heaven's logic. What is not logical on earth can be logical in heaven. The earth is a physical realm while heaven is a spiritual realm. The laws of logic that govern both realms are opposite and incongruent.

Let me ask you, Can a man enter through a locked door without opening the door? Earthwise, the answer is NO. It's not logical on the earthly realm. It's impossible. But heavenwise, it is a resounding YES. It's logical. A man can enter through a locked door without opening the door. This is spiritually correct.

So, you have the answer to.your question. Earthly speaking, it is illogical but heavenly speaking, it is absolutely logical that Jesus can be 100% God and 100% man.

Important note: If your God can be 100% logically exolained, he's probably earthly and not spiritual. If you can physically and logically explain your God, then he's most probably a man like you. There's nothing spiritual about him. If he's a God indeed, there'll be many things about him that'll defy human logic because spirit logic defies human logic naturally.

5. Is believing in a man as God not a form of idolatry (worshipping the creation)?
I've previously answered this question and I believe that your misconception about Jesus being a man is already cleared.

6. Why do you believe in the Trinity when the term is never mentioned in the Bible?
(Where did the concept actually come from?)
The Bible does not have to explicitly mention everything for us to have knowledge about the things of God. Infact, we are expected to dig deeper than the mere surface knowledge of the written letters and enter into the Revelations of the Spirit where we can uncover the deep things of God.

God is a Trinity and we know that by the Revelation of the Scriptures. We have one God. Only one God - the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. This is just one and same person defined by His functions and attributes.

Today, I am a father, a son and husband. I'm a trinity of some sort. I'm not 3 persons. I'm just one. But my being a father, son and husband are all defined by my functions and attributes.

7. Why does the Old Testament emphasize the absolute oneness of God so clearly (e.g. Deuteronomy 6:4)?
(Was God hiding the Trinity for thousands of years?)
The absolute oneness of God is maintained throughout the Bible, both Old and New Testaments.

8. Why did Jesus pray to God if he was God? Was he praying to himself?
When He was on earth, He maintained all the features of a man 100%. He lived His life solely to teach man how to relate with God and please God. Everything He did was done for our learning and example. When He walked. He taught us how to walk. When He was reviled. He taughtt us how to respond. When He prayed. He taughtt us how to pray. His prayers were a practical demonstration of how we should pray as men. When He solved a problem, He taught us How to solve problems. When He related with difficult people, He taught us how to deal with difficult people. That's why we're Christians. We behave like Jesus after learning how Christ prayed, walked, behaved and related. His whole life including His prayer life was a demonstration to teach by example how man ought to relate with God and his fellow men.

9. If Jesus was “God in the flesh,” who was he referring to when he called on “the Father”?
He as man fully demonstrated how we as men ought to relate with God. He called God Father because He wanted us to call Him Father. This is why He's the best teacher who ever lived. He taught by example the practical things of the Kingdom.

10. Why did Jesus say, “The Father is greater than I” (John 14:28)?
(If they are equal in the Trinity, why is one greater?)
Yeah, the human actor is always greater than whatever character he is acting. The human actor is the real deal. Whenever character he is acting is just a temporal appearance of himself.

11. Why did Jesus not know the hour of the Day of Judgment if he was fully God? (Mark 13:32)
(Can an all-knowing God not know something?)
God knows the hour and day of judgement but Jesus in His human form had to do everything as man. He demonstrated human limitations so that we can understand the subject of Faith. It will be impossible for us to walk like Jesus walked if we believe that Jesus was superhuman in His earthly form. Then, we'll put a limit on ourselves with the excuse that Jesus was superhuman and we're not. But God wanted us to do.mighty works, and Jesus came to demonstrate what God can do through limited men. We can do the greater works He commanded us to do today because we know that everything He did, He did them with all the limitations of man, and therefore, we also can do them in spite of our human limitations. Jesus had to demonstrate human limitations in order to teach us that God can work through limited humans the same way we see in Jesus' miracles.

12. Why is salvation in Christianity based on the murder of an innocent man (Jesus) for the sins of others?
(Is that just, or even moral?)
Blood is the only Soap that cleanses sins. Sin is a spiritual contaminanation that can only be washed by spiritual soap - blood. The blood of animals that had no blemish, I mean the figurative use of the 'innocent' animals in the Old Testament made people clean for only a year. God wanted to abolish animal sacrifices, but sin must be washed. He came down Himself and abolished it through the blood of Jesus who is without blemish. The innocent man you talked about. His cleaning does not need yearly renewals. It is eternal. The eternal soap that washes away sins. You need that soap today, my friend.

13. Does a loving God need a blood sacrifice to forgive?
(Couldn’t He just forgive like He did in the Old Testament?)
A loving father does not need soap to forgive his son who played himself dirty in muddy waters but he surely needs soap to wash him clean.

14. If salvation comes through faith alone, why did Jesus say to obey the commandments to enter eternal life? (Matthew 19:17)
This is because faith empowers us to do the commandments without observing the commandments. Faith in Christ allows the Holy Spirit to live through you so that you do not need to observe the commandments. You naturally live the commandments by faith. The Holy Spirit obeys the commandments through you. You cannot break the commandments when your life is being lived by the Spirit of God that was given you when you became a son or daughter of God. Every child of God has the Spirit of God in them which empowers them to obey the commandments without observing the commandments.

15. Why do most Christians follow Paul more than Jesus?
(Jesus taught strict monotheism and obedience to God; Paul focused on grace and faith over law.)
Christians don't follow Paul. Christians follow Jesus just as Paul who also followed Jesus. Jesus brought Grace (John 1:16-17), Paul only explained it according to his calling. All Christians are monotheists as was Paul also.

16. Why do so many biblical scholars and historians question the authenticity and authorship of major books in the New Testament?
Because they constantly want to be sure of the truth. But most of them only use head logic. They do not know Jesus. They have no encounter with Him. They're Christian scholars but not Christians. Those of us who have encountered Jesus have the inner witness, and we know the difference between that which is of God and of man. Any book that edifies the spirit of a child of God is the Word of God.

[17. How can a book written decades after Jesus, with anonymous authors, be accepted as God's Word without question?
No. Not all the authors are anonymous. Some are, and some are not. All the books were written and known in the time of Jesus' disciples. Books given credence to by them and their disciples whom we call Church fathers are what we use today.

18. Why are there over 30,000 Christian denominations if the Bible is “clear” and guided by the Holy Spirit?
The Bible is clear and guided by the Holy Spirit but individual humans have different levels of understanding. Each denomination is founded by a leader who operates according to what he understands in terms of doctrine. Whatever we believe does not actually matter. What matters is the foundation of faith - that Jesus is the Son of God, and that He died and rose again, and that He'll return to take us to Himself. This is the foundation that unites us. We all have one Father but no matter how simple a father is, his many children will have different definitions of him. That does not make them less his children. Their oneness is hinged on the foundational beliefs and general understanding that they all have about their father. This is the unity is Christiendom. We have no rancour. We are all one except for those children of Satan who pretend to be children of God.

19. If Jesus came only for the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24), why do Gentiles (non-Jews) claim his message is for them?
Jesus came to the world by prophecy and was sent to the whole world (John 3:16). The lost sheep of Israel is a spiritual symbolism which means people who are separated from God. Today, we are the hitherto lost sheep that have been found and restored back into the sheepfold. We are the spiritual Israel whom Christ came to find. For we all are the children of Abraham by faith in Christ Jesus.

20. Would Jesus recognize today’s Christianity—with its rituals, holidays, and beliefs—as his true message?
(Or would he be shocked by how far it has strayed from his teachings?)
Jesus is not coming back to recognize any religion. He's coming back for His saints who opened the doors of their hearts to Him and have made Him their Lord and Master. If the spirit of Christ does not dwell in you, you are none of His. It doesn't matter what you call yourself - pastor, evangelist, or whatever. Jesus is coming only for those His people who have the seal of His Spirit which is the seal of salvation. Not for those practicing religion.

Very applicable to Islam. In Islam, the prophet of Allah was a known terrorist who shed people's blood. He was not a sinless man. He snatched his son's wife. Married a 6yr old and fingered her until he had sex with her when she was 9. He robbed caravans and killed anyone who.rejected his prophethood. Yet, many follow him blindly and call him the best of humans without any questioning.

Short Conclusion

Truth stands up to questions—falsehood doesn’t.
If these questions shake you, don’t fear it. Real faith begins with honest searching.
No, no Christian is shaken by these questions. Even the norminal church goer who has no encounter with Jesus would pass off your questions as coming from an ignorant and childish mind. These questions shake no one.

Yeah, and God has given us the clarity of all things through the illumination of the Holy Ghost according to His infinite power and grace. But the carnal man cannot understand the things of the Spirit.
