Why can't Christians think hypothetically?

Question

They are allergic to "what if's" about God and the Bible.

Because your "answers" aren't good enough, gothsemen (sticking out tongue and crossing eyes)

Answer 1

It is because Christians think that theyre prophet Jesus the actual son of God. Why would they need anything else. Plus they are taught that Christianity is the only way to go and to ignore or gid rid of anybody else. They were taught patientence and forgivness, but never understanding. How can you be taught by people that CAN NOT remember the scriptures they have? Why is this? Because the people who wrote it made sure it was that way so they could set the rules!

Answer 2

I am a Christian, and I think hypothetically. Questioning the nature of God, and investigating the Bible are essential to ones growth as a christian. I do think that some Christians are too sensitive when discussing the Bible. The Bible is a centuries old text and should withstand any kind of scrutiny, that being said some topics should be considered sacrosanct. When crossing cultural lines, extreme care must be taken not to offend either side. An overly zealous defense can be just as offensive an impertinent question.

Answer 3

Lets think Hypothetically for a second and say you're correct in this statement.
Then hypothetically I would not be using the term Hypothetically correctly in my statement.
"What if" God didn't exist.
Hmm. Then I would say all your science and hypothetical situations would not exist either. My belief and faith are not just based on a pure whim, they exist because of pure truths and experiences I have had in my life. I have been a real sceptisist of everything around me my whole life and the truths always let themselves be known to me through Gods power.
It sounds to me that you are a real "UnHypothetically" thinking and "What If" thinking person in your own statements.
You probably forgot to ask yourself.
What if God Does exist and What if He is real?????

Hypothetically he would be able to show Himself to people through his omnipotent power.
This hypothetical situation I Have experienced..

Sorry but not every Christian is a closed minded person who wont think seriously about their exitance and the existance of everything around them and just says ,"Its God . I has to be".

A lot of people have seriously searched for the truths that be...
And I am one of them...

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX A LITTLE MORE BUB.

Answer 4

Why do people lump all Christians together?
Are they allergic to the idea we are individuals?

I do not mind questions! Asking questions about the Bible or God is great! But asking insulting questions does not get you anywhere does it?

Answer 5

I think a better question would be "What if Christians could think hypothetically?" Imagine the power we could have. Maybe its a good thing that we Christians don't think hypothetically...

Answer 6

Who says we can't? In any case, what if you have met Christians who can think hypothetically? Moreover, if you are wishing Christians to defend their faith, it should not be over multiplying "what if" scenarios. The truth of the Christian faith is not determined by indulging in speculations.

Answer 7

Why can't athiests come up with a NEW what if question that hasn't already been asked a thousand times and ANSWERED.

Oh and I just answered your question without breaking out into a rash.

Answer 8

Huh? I am a Christian and I don't think that way. Nobody is really like that. And no offense, but what's with your picture?

Answer 9

There is no what if about the Bible or God. God said it that's it, No ifs, ands or buts.

Answer 10

You either don't ask the right Christians or you are affraid of their answers.
