Which distinctive of a biblical worldview would be least compelling to your non-Christian friends? How might you answer objections on this matter?
-
Judgement and eternal accountability ; each man wants to be their own god without God. I find the moral argument to be the most compelling to combat this; that each man has built within him, an internal moral compass, proving the existence of a Creator.
-
The least compelling would be trusting and putting your hope into something you cannot see physically in the natural world.
-
That there is one Truth and we are to live in submission to the truth, the person of Jesus Christ. I would explain how God doesn’t use his authority to lord it over us as a mean dictator but as a humble, servant King who is GOOD.

I think the distinctive on identity can be a particularly challenging component to the Christian worldview. We have so many different things that pull at our attention, focus, and value in our daily life. It can be especially challenging to believe that these different things don’t play at least some role in helping give us our sense of worth.
To help talk through objections, I believe there can be a way of relying on these other distinctive’s as a way of creating trust in the truth of our God-given identities. I also think prayer is especially important! As we take the time and diligence to internalize the truth found in each of these distinctive”s, the Lord can begin to work at chipping away at our pride and stubbornness to want to hold onto our broken senses of identity.

Being a Christian takes tremendous faith. Most people can’t look past the supernatural and spiritual, nor do they want to. So them understanding that there is a Father in Heaven that loves them seems incomprehensible.
