What are the most difficult questions for Christians to answer?

Question

I have a bunch of them but I want more aggravating questions... I love the questions that make them cringe, squirm, short circuit or atleast stop and really think for a moment (if they can bypass their programming). I save these questions for future carpet bombings to watch them run for cover.

Answer 1

Where is the sense in a god that forgives people by letting them kill his son?

Where is the sense in looking at a world full of suffering, sickness, and tragedy, and concluding that prayer works?

Where is the sense in thinking that punishment is transferable from one being to another?

Where is the sense in thinking that a god would have an offspring in the first place?

Where is the sense in believing in a perfect creator who created a world full of creatures with obvious design flaws?

How can you view someone as "good" who supposedly murdered scores of first-born babies just to make a point to some pharaoh?

Since mountains of medical scientific evidence proves that consciousness, memory, desire, anger, jealousy, love, etc are functions of the brain, how could a god possess those traits without having a brain?

Since conciousness is a function of the brain and our brains rot and disintegrate after we die, isnt it obvious that we wont experience heaven, hell, or anything else after death?

Why does that egotistical god need so much praise? He's like a child shaking his fist over an ant hill yelling, "Worship me or else!”

If jesus was divine, he could foresee the future and knew he'd be back in time for chocolate rabbits on sunday. Where is the sacrifice in that?

If god is mightier than Satan, how was it that god was in a position that he either had to let us kill his son, or lose all of humanity to Satan for eternity?

If jesus' death was so important and planned, why didnt jesus just kill himself? Or at least have his disciples do it?

If the creator needed to have an offspring, wont jesus need to as well? when will the son be a father, and the father be a grandfather?

If jesus was serious about healing people, why didnt he teach them to make pinicillin?

What is it that makes god a "he"?? A Y chromosome? or a giant male appendage?

I could go on all night...

Answer 2

I am not in the habit of cringing, squirming, short circuiting, or running for cover, but some questions often cause me to "stop and really think". I love questions like that. So when you find some really tough ones, do ask.

My programming came from the world before I knew Jesus. When He opened my eyes, I really had to work at "bypassing [my] programming" as you say. But with God's help I'm getting there.

May He richly bless you with the knowledge of Him.

Answer 3

Why would a loving God create billions of people, most of whom will burn in hell forever according to the Bible?

How will you be happy in heaven forever, knowing that many people you know and love will be burning in hell forever?

Why did God say "Thou shalt not kill? and then order the Hebrews to completely destroy the people living in the "promised land"?

Do you follow the Ten Commandments, including the commandment to keep the Sabbath (Saturday) holy?

Can you name the Ten Commandments?

Did King Solomon go to heaven even though he lived a wicked life? (He even wrote a book in the Bible, Song of Songs.) He had over 700 concubines, both male and female.

If you're saved, do you still sin? The Bible says that anyone who continues to sin, "the truth is not in him".

Why didn't Jesus ever refer to himself as the Son of God? He always said "Son of Man".

Which resurrection account is true? There are several different ones in the Gospels.

Why did Jesus say he would be in the earth for three days and three nights when he died on Friday afternoon and rose again on Sunday morning?

When Jesus cursed the fig tree, did it wither right away or later? The Gospels say both.

Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Why then do you support war of any kind?

Answer 4

There is never a question that could make me cringe ,squirm are stop me in my tracks for the word of the LORD stands forever and your best could never stand up to the Wisdom of God , ...lol ,

You really have got to be kidding right ?

Answer 5

Most of them just fall back on that old tired word called faith. You can have faith all you want, but it doesn't mean that it's true. I could have faith in the fact that my best friend won't steal from me, doesn't mean he won't. It's a nonsense. You can't have an intelligent conversation with people like that, every question to their faith is like blasphemy to their ears. It's like throwing holy water on a Vampire.

Answer 6

I would like to ask Christians whats the purpose of Praising GOD when you die go to heaven isn't' that what's your going to do for eternity Praising HIM? So this whole thing is about God's selfish ego that he wants to be praise for eternity? Now ask Lucifer why he wants a change in position to be GOD maybe to make changed of an eternity of Praising a selfish GOD. Now guess what my faith is?

Answer 7

Ok, if you have any questions that you think might stumble Christians. E-mail em to me. I'll try my best to answer them.I don't want 50 aethiests e-mailing me at once, just the guy who wrote this question.

Answer 8

Probably the hardest for us to explain is why God expects us to love people like you and pray for their well-being. My answer is that it is because, though my mistakes aren't the same as yours, they are just as bad in God's eyes and I require the same kind of forgiveness that you do.

Answer 9

Answer 10

It's hopeless. They always can fall back to the unassailable "Ain't so!" defense.
