Which distinctive of a biblical worldview would be least compelling to your non-Christian friends? How might you answer objections on this matter?
-
That God created us and we were created as sinners.
-
Divine Revelation – God being the One who reveals Himself to His people, in conjunction with our choice/free will.

Looking at all the other world views and how they interpret life after death, the biblical belief of salvation and eternal life seems to be the least compelling to non-Christians. Even within the the other two Monotheist beliefs ( Judaism, and Islam), there is no straight line linking up this biblical reality that Christians believe through who (Jesus Christ), and how ( His death, burial, and resurrection),is how we get to this paradise or new heaven and earth. It seems to me and through experience of sharing with none believers that this distinctive of a biblical worldview is the one that is least compelling for sure.

I think the distinctive on the Bible and ethics would be the least compelling because it likely challenges they’re own personal ethics.
-
I believe the distinctive of The Bible and Identity would be the least compelling to my non-Christian friends because since they are not believing in God they would be uninterested in finding out that I think they were created in His image. They would also misunderstand that a good God would allow both good things like hospitals and bad things like concentration camps.
To counter their arguments, I would point that deriving our identity and moral conscience from our Creator has allowed reason, emotion, will, self-consciousness, creativity and conscience.
