At the beginning of this program we learned: “People have many reasons for rejecting the Christian faith. Some may admire Christ but dislike His followers. Others find it difficult to accept any faith that claims to be the only way to God. Why would anyone limit themselves to only one of the world’s great religions?” How valid are each of these objections? What is your response to each?

I believe that these are objections that many people have and they are even objections that I’ve thought in my own head. However, once we start reading the Bible and diving into the word of God, we can start to dismiss these objections. I love to also read books from C.S. Lewis and other great authors that can help me understand the readings better. There have been many people that have tried to prove that the Bible is wrong, however they have come up empty handed. As followers of Jesus we need to try to be like Jesus and we need to love all our neighbors and serve others, this will help non believers start to believe in the Bible. The people that don’t believe there is one way to God are not fully versed in the Bible, once you read the Bible and believe it, you will understand that this statement is true. The last objection is false, because we can only worship one God and that God is Jesus.

I believe one of the biggest objection to Christ is that one starts to read the Word of God the conviction eaither forces you to reevaluate your life and or put the Word down because you don’t want to be told you are wrong and very wrong. The next biggest issue I believe is the brick and Mortar Church or what I call the false Church, the amount of contradictions that come from the ministries today will not only push the seeker away but it also fights against the believer. The third problem is the doctrine that is being preached is mostly false meaning that it has been mixed with self help philosophy so one who hears it can pick and choose what they want and then they can get the same type of doctrine from something not of Christ

Most people reject the Christian Faith because nowadays they do not see Christ likeness being reflected in the church and even the members of the church. For one, Christians who carry the name of Christ have compromised their faith and have not really followed in the footsteps of Jesus who walked in holiness,righteousness and humility. Nevertheless people have looked at people rather than in the Jesus of the Bible hence reject the Christian Faith- as a child of God we need to walk the talk and reflect Christ likeness in our life and character because our faith without works is dead. . Some Christians have lost their lights and are not salty anymore however despite all the shortcomings of man , the Word of God remains and everything else will fall and pass away but the World of God will remain.So we need to refer them back to the Word of God.
The Word of God does not even mention religion but states that Jesus is the way , the truth and the light no one comes to the Father but through me. Jesus did not come to earth to give man a religion , because religion is man’s way of reaching out to God. Jesus came to restore our relationship to God through His death on the cross, burial and resurrection. SO most of the objections stated above are just man’s excuse to continue and do their own way, live a life without accountability to the Maker. Many people are self willed nowadays or perhaps they have not really heard of the gospel or understood it . It takes much prayer and patience in sharing the Word of God so that man may be convicted of sin and give their heart to Jesus -
Christianity today, especially in the Western cultures, has been watered down in order to reach a broader audience. Churches are hesitant to speak on the bold claims and truths found in the Bible for fear of offending people. We’ve created a Christianity that is lukewarm so everyone can feel comfortable and free to mold God into their worldview. When Christians begin speaking the truths found in the Bible, that is when many people begin to reject the faith and turn away. This is because following Christ was not meant to be easy, and many people are still conformed to the world.

People have many reasons for rejecting Christian faith. Some may admire Christ but dislike His followers. This is because many people still loving the world. And the Bible telling us if someone love the world. To love God it is impossible.
