what parts of the Christion religion do you have problems with understanding or accepting?

Answer 1

Hi,

I stick with Christianity anyway but the hardest pill for me to swallow is the fact that teaches you can only get to the father or receive salvation through accepting Jesus.

Now born into it like I was, no problem but I have a lot of empathy for those who are born into other religions and like us, taught from day one that their religion is the truth and woe unto them if they apostate. Do many Christians not have the same fear about converting to Judaism or Islam? Also it seems so unfair that a Christian mass murderer who repented at the last second would make it yet a great peace maker like the Dali Lama or Gandhi would not. I know the parable of the prodigal son explains this but it has never been explained to my satisfaction with regards to fair justice.

Some theologians have pondered the concept of "the baptism of desire " and I hope they are right but then again I would not hedge my bet on that given the clarity of Christ's statements like I am the vine, you are the branches etc.

Answer 2

I have a hard time accepting that in a universe so large that we cannot even begin to comprehend its size, we were put on this tiny little planet by some sort of creator, that we are all special to him, and that he carefully watches over us and responds to our individual concerns.

I speculate that there is much more beyond the universe. I believe in the Big Bang and I think the Big Bang was caused by something larger. Perhaps our entire universe is but the nucleus (or maybe an electron or quark) of an atom-like structure that is part of a much larger dimension...so large that we can not even see it because it is beyond our frame of reference.

Eventually, we still come back to the debate that something must have caused all of this to form. I would not completely rule out some kind of creator setting all of this in motion. I still argue that if you have a creator, something must have created the creator...but that's another debate.

Answer 3

Just the nonsensical part about God being killed by humans to make up for the insult God took from humans not cooperating with God. Oh, and the part about homosexuality and masturbation being far more serious sins than, say, pollution, war-mongering, extortion, slum-lording, redlining, etc. Oherwise, some of it is rather nice.

Answer 4

Calling Jesus God or Son of God.
He was a great Prophet of God and none of the above.
This is main objection of Muslims against Christianity.

Bible has no such proof to justify calling Jesus God or son of God. God says in Quran clearly hundred of times in Quran that He is the Only God & Mohammad is His True Messneger.

Why Bible kdoesn't have any such statement in simple English. Besides Bible you have is not the original word of God or Jesus Christ (May peace be upon Him). It is translation of Armaic to Greek to English. Muslim do not call Quran to an English translation of Quran. We call it merely translation of Quran. Real Quran is the Arabic text Protected and Guarded by God Himself as well as Muslims ever since it was revealed to Prophet Mohammad.

You have too many controversies, contradictions and too many denominations because every preacher gives different interpretations of its words. Most of the Evangelical Priests we see on TV are good actors who exploit emotions of simple Christians to collect money from them. More funds they raise, higher the luxuries are provided to them. That is not real servants of God do in any other religion. It is not the Religion. It is a big business of making fool of innocent believers. Have you ever seen Muslims raising funds like the Evangelists do?

Answer 5

The hilarity of it all.
I think of God as the original Super Man.

I see the Bible as a collection of poems and stories, which is funny because my Mother sees it as the "truth" in a book...

My Sunday School "teacher" once told me that B.I.B.L.E
Stood for "Book of Instruction Before Leaving Earth, but I found it meant much less as I got older.

My definition of B.I.B.L.E:

"Biased Information Based on Lack of Evidence."
