Confused former pastor seeks clarity on faq

Q:Why do we need apologists to “apologize“ for the Bible? Why do we need people like William Lane Craig or Frank Turek or Cliff Knechte & others to speak in such confusing philosophical parameters, to explain to us concepts that should be crystal clear to anyone reading the Bible? Why do we need scholars we hear about to clear up all the thousands of misconceptions and misinterpretations of the Bible? If we put 100 people in 100 different rooms and ask them simple Christian doctrine questions like how do you get to heaven, what is the Trinity, or what is the book of Revelations about, etc. We get 100 different answers. To me, this is why Christianity is so obviously a man-made philosophy. A God would have no reason to be that confusing.  Edit: My Mormon friends tell me the exact same thing. They say, “I read the book of Mormon and don’t find it confusing. It is very clear maybe read it and you will not be confused." Muslims tell me the exact same thing about the Quran. I was...

Is the Bible Horrific?

What people miss about the Bible The woman here rightly said she should know what is in the Bible so she can speak factually to Christians about it. Then she goes on to say shes horrified, having only got 400 pages in, and not even to the New Testament yet because its full of war and bad things... and has a meltdown. And didnt do a video after she read the whole Bible.  Shes emotional and letting her emotions run wild instead of rationally factually look at what's in there. She misses it completely.  How she missed the problem from jump is her problem. Those without spiritual eyes to see can't see.  Here is what you need to know: 1. God created everything perfect and good. 2. Man sinned, sin entered and now man is continually always thinking and doing evil. The Scriptures show the righteous following God, and the rest of evil humanity doing evil and being hurt by those doing evil. Thats why Gen 3 God promises the Messiah to restore believing man to a rig...

Diff btwn Atheist and Christian?

Is this the difference between atheists and Christians? " Atheists are honest about not following the teachings of Christ." A: No. Atheists (and any one in any religion or with no relgion are all in the same boat)- they do not have the ability to follow Christ. Christians were "converted by God", are right with God. They now have the righteous nature and God indwelling them so they can live right; follow Christ.  Also note that being a Christian doesnt make that person "perfect" as Christ is perfect. It means we learn and grow "to be like him"... as we live out our life. We wont be perfect until we get to Heaven [and receive our eternal body which is free from the stain of sin (and no longer has the sin nature)].  Atheist: Of course we would "follow Christ" if you give sufficient reasons to believe the claims. And, If Christians were "converted by God" then is just a lottery of who is saved? Christian:  God has given plenty of...

Did God create humans "perfect"?

Did God originally make humans perfect? Statement: "Religion can never reform a man because religion is slavery" - Robert Ingersoll World Religion focuses on outward appearances and a form of moralism while the inner person loves and is enslaved to sin. Unlike Christianity where God changes a person through faith in Christ - He converts the inner man to love righteousness, frees them from sins chains, (as well as makes them right with God and gives them the gift of eternal life) 😊. But note, man is either trapped as a slave to sin and evil, or is a slave to righteousness and holiness through freedom in Christ. He frees us from the curse and bondage of sin, (with its traps, and damnation for those who die in it), so we can live rightly. The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:23 Atheist reply: your OT "Creation" story seems to state that YHWH intentionally created humans with inferior capabilities to himsel...

Atheists Commandments

Q: What do you think about this?  Theres nothing new here.  First, They dont have those without a prexisting Christian worldview.  They do believe in the concepts of right and wrong. The problem is that they have no logical reason to believe in right and wrong within their own worldview. Right and wrong are Christian concepts which go back to Genesis. By attempting to be moral, therefore, the person is being irrational; for he must borrow biblical concepts which are contrary to his worldview. Second, just a supposed new take on atheists commandment [which comes from Satan]," do what you want to. " But it fails since it borrowed morality from Christianity (1) Third, theres a reason they make up morals different to God's Laws they hate God and dont want to be accountable to Him.  Morals are simply showing us the perfect nature of the Holy God. And it shows us we fall short of perfection (very very very short). (1) Clarity on the non 10: Evil always takes s...

Netherlands no belief in a god

Q: 54% of my country of the Netherlands does not believe in any god. Including me. But I think let people believe what they want, as long as people dont force their believe on me "im all good".  Live and let live.  A: i suppose thats a way to go if you dont care about people. I mean, how much would i have to hate someone to not warn them of the wrath to come when I know how they can escape it? Penn Gillette (the famous atheist) said that to a Christian because he felt if it is that important then the believer must go tell people. He was right. And it is what Jesus said to do & what Christians believe about lovingly telling others the great news .  And if you embrace it, you will "be all good to go" when you step into eternity. But also have a relationship with God on earth. 😊 Note: Despite being one of the most secular of nations in the world, Dutch culture is still very much shaped by Christianity. You have no idea how many ietsists —(thode who have “faith wi...

Einstein believed people dont even know 2% of all the knowledge out there. Some have found out certain things that others havent yet. Even in order to claim to be an atheist one would have to have all knowledge . And you dont. So even atheists can only call themselves an agnostic. They have yet to gain the knowledge necessary to come to the conclusion whether there is no God.  Hopefully these will provide the answers to things you've thought about and w...

Merry Christmas, Humanists!

Be Good campaign of Atheists  Thanks for getting people to think about God and remind them Christmas is about Christ. "What they meant for Evil, God uses for good, to save many people" (Genesis 50:20). We know you meant the advertising as an attack on Christianity, and know you would never do that on Muslim holidays, Aukmed might "Keel You" if you dared to do that. You are more afraid of men than you are of God.  But we, Christians, leave vengeance to God. We know that those who are against the living and True God attack Christ because they know God is real and they dont want to be responsible for how they live before His eyes... as you all feel. You hate God, without cause. So you also hate His followers.   Did you know only a small percentage of people in America are not believers in God. Globally most everyone does as well. Here, 93% of Americans celebrate Christmas, and just about as many admit to believing in God (91%). Celebrating the Birth of Christ is not...
