20 HONEST QUESTIONS FOR SINCERE CHRISTIANS TO CONSIDER

Short Introduction

These 20 questions are for honest Christians willing to reflect deeply. The questions are just to help anyone to think beyond emotion and inherited beliefs.

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


QUESTIONS:

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 and the New Testament emphasize the absolute Oneness of God so clearly and so numerously (e.g. Mark.12: 29 and Deuteronomy 6:4 etc)?
(Can few unclear statements superimposed on very clear and numerous statements?)

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?)

Final Reflection:

“Truth does not fear questioning. Only falsehood requires blind faith.”

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.

“God is not the author of confusion…” – 1 Corinthians 14:33

If you are truly a genuine seeker of Truth, then you would know that raising 20 questions is you trying to bully and force people into falling for what you think made you fall. So now you are trying to make others unreasonably fall as you have fallen.

If in truth you can stand, then with only 1 or 2, a person can fall without you having to forcefully push them with 20 forces.

[b]QUESTIONS:
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?)

Do you not see that this is boastfullness?

Did your father say "I am your father, honour and obey me" before you recognised and accepted his dominion over you?

There is something called common sense and it automatically points out many signs and things we ought to see. And one fact that it shows us is that when we see a Law backed King and a Ruler they are never boastfull and are always humble.

It is unlawful Rulers like presidents, governors etc who have to make noise and beat/bribe people before the people start recognising them as rulers. And that is why they are always forcing children to learn "current affairs" and force them to learn who is the latest president or governor or minister.

And of course for you to force me to recognise you as a ruler means that you are not a lawful ruler and you are a bandit like Bello Turji.

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

What does all knowing have to do with dying? Do you not already know that you can die if you travel from Abuja to Benue, yet people are doing it everyday?

Secondly, so as Steve Jobs died, the iPhone has stopped working, abi?

So you see, from these 2 questions it can be seen that you are asking questions that are not intelligent at all.

If you are truly a genuine seeker of Truth, then you would know that raising 20 questions............

Belief should not be based on philosophical and argumentative statements. It must stand on scriptural evidences and proofs

Prove all you have said with your bible!

Apparently, you do not know that philosophy has to do with thinking and man cannot live without the need and use of thinking, which you yourself acknowledged when you asked "CHRISTIANS TO CONSIDER".

No one can consider a thing without applying thinking to it. So you can not dispense with philosophy aka thinking and from the beginning to the end, the bible is only about good thinking and the certainty of Judgments which we ourselves have seen.

So, apparently, you thought I was going to mention that vague and elusive thing called faith, that church goers throw around when they cannot explain the grounds and basis of their belief. But I did not and so you are thrown off balance asking me to use the bible to prove all I have said when you already know the Truth of all these things I have said.

So you see the question is are you truly a seeker of Truth? Or rather you are out to make others fall like you have fallen?
