Which distinctive of a biblical worldview would be least compelling to your non-Christian friends? How might you answer objections on this matter?
-
Initially, I thought that the idea of Heaven and Hell would be the part of a biblical worldview most of my nonChristian friends would get stuck on on. But as I think back to my actual experiences sharing the gospel, it seems to be that the idea of Jesus as fully God and fully man as Messiah, that is the hardest to grasp. Also, the idea of an intelligent Creator is seen to be silly by many.

Revealing of God in divine revelation would be least compelling because it cannot be observed repeatedly or tangibly by a person seeking it out or calling to it. It is only when and how God chooses and that is the basis of faith in which we choose to accept and believe it.

I think that the biblical worldview that would be the least compelling is the judgment part of the Lord. An eternity in hell is something that a lot of people look at and automatically assume that our Creator isn’t loving because he would reject people. I would answer the objection by stating that we have seen in history the proof of our Lord and that He has stated in scriptures that He is a just Lord, distinguishing between right and wrong. It would be against His nature to let people committing horrible acts of sin without repentance spend eternity in heaven, so there has to be an alternative and that’s eternity without Him. He allows free agency in that decision. And even though we deserve punishment, He shows grace to us

That the Bible is a divinely inspired book. There are no flaws or inconsistencies throughout all of scripture.

I think divine revelation….God revealing God to us – a spiritual reality beyond our senses.
