Hey everyone,
In this forum, there is a lot of talk about weather God is real or fake, and which religion is the right one. Some are just discussions, and I completely understand. For the record, I am a Christian myself. I am somewhat frustrated by the fact that that some of my fellow Christians are not able to defend their faith. I am seeing many posts like, "I am a Christian, and God is real." The end. I would like to remind you that with this answer coming up over and over again, we are not proving anything. I feel that if I were not a Christian, I would be frustrated because no one was proving to me why God is real and the only way. I would feel like "the Christian" asked for a fight, but cannot finish it. Here is what I propose: I feel that if you are a Christian and would like to get into a debate about religion, go right ahead. But you need to know every question, answer and reaction that will occur from both sides. It is hard to debate with a non-Christian and personally, I believe that if the non-Christian is stubborn about his beliefs, he or she will not change their ways no matter what anyone says. I would like to advise my Christian friends that we need to be prepared to finish a fight if you would like to get into one. I am a senior in a Christian high school and we have Bible class. This year we are studying Apologetics as well as world religions and cults. I have learned so much from Apologetics class. Our textbook was a book called: "Defending Your Faith" by Dan Story. I would recommend every Christian to read this book. It helps you not be wavered from Christ by worldly views and things you hear. I learned how to defend my faith for my good. It is an amazing book. I am sorry if I offended any of you. I am not telling you what you should do, I am advising you though my opinions. You may choose what you like. Thank you very much. I appreciate you all. Michelle |

Michelle Problem is your book is full of holes and parables... On top of that it's been KNOWN that your holy book has been modified. On top of that, holy books are meant to be examples and stories of what happened in the past... most of which should not be taken literally. Realistically speaking, you'll need a lot more than just Christianity to even answer most of the questions out there, not just the simplicity of your faith. You know, you could be Christian and read the Quran, or the Torah, or Talmud etc... it's not gonna convert you into another religion. On top of that, you could use science to prove a lot about the existence of God. You just gotta give up a lot of your social life in order to better understand and realize it. |
