Questions…

A couple of weeks back, we did a poll at Mavuno to see what issues our friends who don’t attend church have with Christianity. The idea is that we’ll preach through a few of these questions in September, which is our ‘Spread The Love’ month.

So here are some of your questions (oops, I mean your friend’s questions!) edited for brevity…

I have a friend who…

• Wonders why Christians claim to have the true religion
• Wonders why she should trust the bible
• Wonders why a loving God allows evil
• Thinks Christians are hypocrites
• Wonders why Christians push their beliefs down other’s throats            
• Struggles With being single
• Believes all religions are the same
• Was spiritually abused by their pastor
• Wonders how to tell the difference between a church and a cult
• Hasn’t found a spouse in church
• Thinks a Christian would make a terrible spouse
• Wonders why God made atheists and people from other religions    
• Wonders why Christianity presents itself better than all the others
• Doesn’t believe God exists         
• Wonders why they’re on the planet.
• Is not sure what life is about
• Asks why do Christians suffer?         
• Wonders where God came from         
• Sees no difference between Christians and non-Christians   
• Doesn’t see why they should leave the fun for boring godliness     
• Worships and pray at home       
• Believes the bible wrongly teaches that the earth has only existed for 6000 years  
• Says Christians talk about love but they don’t show it              
• Feels Christianity has killed more people than helped        
• Wonders why Christians are poor yet they believe          
• Feels the Church is archaic and filled with people who know little about life
• Feels God is unfair                     
• Wonders why God takes so long to answer                        
• Felt God was not there for them                             
• Says it’s not about Christianity it’s about spirituality                                                     
• Fears God may ask them to do something like become a nun!
• Wonders why he can’t drink and be saved
• Has questions about heaven                                                             
• Wonders why God punishes us with hell?                                                        
• Feels Christianity is a miserable life of dos and don’ts?

Thanks to everyone for sending in such great questions! Unfortunately because of time, we’ll only discuss four of them – so we will pick the ones that seemed to have the highest interest. Which four? Oh well, for that, you’ll have to be at Mavuno this coming Sunday 🙂

Have a great week.
