Why do Christians hate anyone questioning Christianity?

Question

Whenever someone asks such questions like:
1. Why is there no proof of Jesus?
2. Why does the bible have so many flaws?
3. Why isn't it the oldest religion?
4. Why don't many Christians believe in evolution when it is proven?

Then you can always count on them giving a thumbs down. These are very good and serious questions, but since they hate such questions and wish witch burning wasn't outlawed like in the Dark Ages...they rate it badly instead and hate that anyone dared question their beliefs.

Answer 1

because they really do not have factual evidence for those answers..they don't want anyone questioning their knowledge because they don't really know what to say

Answer 2

Ummm You are already wrong on this question my friend. I am a Christian and I do not hate legitimate questions. You say you can count on us give thumbs down to your questions? Well, I have seen many questions that it would appear that you give thumbs down to our questions. Why the double standard?

1. Why is there no proof of Jesus?

There is...you just refuse to accept it. This site does a very good job of explaining this without my having to type it all out again.

2. Why does the bible have so many flaws?

It does not when you really examine it closely.

3. Why isn't it the oldest religion?

God never intended us to have a religion. He wanted a relationship with us. He walked and talked with Adam and Eve. He had a relationship with Abraham. As far as Christianity goes...the people in the Old Testament looked forward to Him, we can look backward to see Jesus and we have Him present with those who have trusted Him right now. You too can have this relationship within moments...check the link below.

We are also told that if we honestly seek the truth...we will find it.


4. Why don't many Christians believe in evolution when it is proven?

Proven? How? In fact, many of the so called proves just do not work. We hear about the missing link but in reality the whole chain is missing, not just the link. There is no way things can evolve and get better. If left to it's own resources, everything decays.

Adaptation of the fittest? How? Would you say that it would take longer for more complex organisms to evolve then the simple ones? Did it take longer for man to evolve then say a mouse? How much longer? A day? A year? Or millions of years? How about male and female? If the more complex organism took millions of years longer to evolve...the species would have died off. They had to ummmm been CREATED at or near the same time.

Answer 3

1. Why is there no proof of Jesus?
Archeology has already proved Jesus existed and followed his life from beginning to end.

2. Why does the bible have so many flaws?
The bible was written by intelligent people so it is hard for the average person to understand, what looks like a flaw is more than likely a flaw in the readers mind.

3. Why isn't it the oldest religion?
It is in stages, the Jewish part of the bible and christian part but also the idea of Zeus and the teachings of it follow very closely with the bibles ideas, there is alot of commons in religion.

4. Why don't many Christians believe in evolution when it is proven?
It's not proven, mutations are proven. I believe the universe is the cell of a larger living being, Quantum physics has already said there is a membrane surrounding our universe, cell membrane?

Answer 4

They feel threatened by it...they need to believe. So they turn truth, logic, and reason on it's head to rationalize the irrational. I don't know if you have already, but if you haven't, definitely check out Ken D's link, the first one. I did, and boy, do they get creative twisting every aspect of known science, outright dismissing other scientific facts, and blatantly LYING about others. (I say lying, because I cannot imagine anyone being so ill-informed regarding certain scientific facts, yet posturing as if they have the REAL answer!) Their explanation of C-14 dating is a great example. If you know ANYTHING about C-14, you know that what they put forth as an explanation is LUDICROUS! It sounds as though they simply made it up to answer problematic questions about dates older than 8,000 yrs. ago. (And, who knows, maybe the person answering the science questions on the site is the church's receptionist, and they picked her because SHE had a 9th grade education.) Anyway, it's worth a laugh, if it weren't so sad that this dribble preys on the ignorant who will readily believe because they don't have the mental fortitude to do some research, look at ALL sides, and decide for themselves.
BTW, not all Christians believe the Bible as literal truth. Only fundamentalist Christians fall into this category. Most other Christians believe that the Bible is allegory and parable, to teach Christians how to live and about the mysteries of God.

Answer 5

A genuine Christians do not hate anyone. Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself" and "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"

There is strong historical evidence both by biblical and non-biblical sources that proves existence of Jesus. There is four biblical accounts of life of Christ by Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John, and also non biblical accounts by Flavius Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Lucian and more. Do your research.

Bible teaches that every eye will see Jesus.
"Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him." Revelation 1:7 Are you ready to see him face to face?

Bible doesn't have any single flaws. It only if someone pick the text out of its contexts, he may fabricate one.

Christianity is the oldest religion, it begin at the creation of the world. See Genesis 1. Read verse Gen. 3:15 it describes prediction of Jesus crushes the head of satan, that is about six thousand years ago.

Evolution never been proven. That is why we call it THEORY of evolution. Theory is something assumed without any proof of it.
If something proven we call it FACT. There in no such a term as fact of evolution.

I wishing you best. God loves you.

Answer 6

How do you feel when someone says to you directly, "I don't believe you." I think that is how many Christians feel when you ask these sorts of questions. They are not phrased in such a way that you are asking about their beliefs, but they are meant to challenge. The form of the questions posed above is rude. I don't blame people for being defensive when approached this way. Some Christians will evangelize, but don't take out on everybody.

What's it to you if others have found something to believe in? If they have beliefs which fill in huge unanswerable voids in life, why do you feel the need to tear them down. Most Christians do not push their beliefs on you, so why would you try to undermine theirs?

Answer 7

1. You will not accept any proof even if it could be given to you... There is but you would have to take on a lot of study and travel..
2. If you are willing to go into a quite lenthy study program you would come to see that there are none of the "flaws" most commonly refered to by non-believers... in any case... The Bible of The True Christian Faith is not intended for the non-believer...there is nothing in it for you... why are you so concerned?
3. The Church was founded By Christ on The first Day of Petacost after his assention to Heaven...befor Christ's ministry they only way for any one to come to God was through was is called The Law of Moses and all the ritual and sacrifice that intailed... befor that it was through other covenants God made with The Nation of Israel... and others before Abraham.
4. There is not one reputable scientist who will tell you The Theory of Evolulion is proven... perhaps some Jr High general science hack would though...

Answer 8

Personally I don't mind people questioning my beliefs it just makes my faith stronger.

Oh and I do believe in Evolution, whos to say that since the bible was written MANY years after the events depicted in the old testament occured that God didn't cause Evolution when he created man, maybe he took Adam from the dirt, but maybe he was an ape On the ground. I'm NOT saying thats what happened, but the fact is , WE don't know, and we won't know until we meet our maker. We have to keep our hearts open to any possibility.
And what christains have you ever met that wish witch burning wasn't outlawed? thats insane!!!! Of course it should have never happened, we all know it only existed to stop midwives from helping women through their births, it was because doctors wanted control over anything to do with the human body.

Answer 9

First off I will not argue with you about nothing I'm just going to talk to you a little....1Why is their no proof of Jesus....What more proof do you need you are here aren't you....You are a person that has to see to believe....If I were you I would not dare challenge Jesus...Or His Father God...Go back and do some research own some of the People that have challenge...Weather their is a Jesus..And His Father God ....Don't be afraid to I can Email you some of them.....Go in a room were some one is Laying and dieing...and then you tell me If their is a Jesus.....When you grow older and you may be in some serious need Who you going to call own I no who...Jesus....I could explain this to a tee.. but You need to seek out this question your self that is the only way you are going to see your eyes are blinded and your ears are shut to only what you want to here,,,,And when you speak all that is coming out is baffle....You show me flaws...Because the Lord I serve is Flawless.....How far back do you want to go .....Educate your self before you con fuss someone else....Evolution...Is a man madeup word.....To confuss you and it has...You are blinded....We don't hate you are confused.....God bless you and may you be filled with peace and joy....Why are you questioning us....Why is this bothering you so much you worried....You should be...

Answer 10

Let me make it easy for you.
1. There is much written evidence for the existence of Jesus, both Biblical and extra-biblical. Few, if anyone, who has examined the evidence disputes His existence.

2. The Bible is inerrant in history, doctrine and ethics. The very few "flaws" are scribal errors of little or no consequence.

3. We know it isn't, so what? Just because something is older, doesn't make it valid.

4. It isn't proven, never has been, never will be. I can provide a load of evidence that shreds the evolution hoax.

Maybe we just get tired of answering the same questions over and over again. We provide adequate answers with evidence to back it up. Believe me, I have seen few intelligent questions here that made me think all that hard. Every question people like you ask, have been asked and answered hundreds of times, in various forums. Problem is, you just don't like the answers, nor want to accept the evidence.

Answer 11

There is no logical argument in favor of Christianity, only pure faith.

SOME Christians (most, actually, but not all) recoil at having their faith challenged because they cannot present any physical or unequivocal evidence that their beliefs are correct, only the suggestion that you have faith (like them) and agree with them on that basis alone.

Since that is such a weak response in itself, their only response is to attack either the opposing idea or the person who questions their beliefs. Doubt or disagreement is not allowed, only absolute agreement with their beliefs (and agenda).

This is in complete agreement with Biblical teachings, by the way. Jesus' claim to be the ONLY way, prohibits any worldview other than Christianity (and sadly, for most Christians that means their own PERSONAL interpretation of the scripture exclusively).
