Bible Question:
Witnessing ************** Perhaps we could look at the subject of Witnessing in another constructive viewpoint.. What are some common reasons that people reject the Gospel, or act unfavorably toward our witness? Also, is persistence in witnessing always to our benefit? The following are three reasons that I have found that people act unfavorably toward a Christian witness... 1) Fear 2) Love of Pleasure, satisfied with pride and sin 3) A bad experience with Christianity Can anyone elaborate on these or think of others? |
Bible Answer: 4) No compelling reason to believe in Jesus or his claims - no hard evidence, just myths. 5) The Bible is not credible; it contradicts both science and common sense. Science conquered polio and smallpox while the God of the Bible just let people die and children be confined to iron lungs. Science has been proven to be reliable and useful; the Bible is just fairy tales. I don't believe any of that, of course, but I did once. Peace and grace, Steve |
