Hi guys,

I`m thinking about a project. Therefore I could use some input from you guys.
Did you ever talk with some non-believers / non-Christians and were surprised by their questions about God?

I therefore would like to know what you guys think are questions asked by non-believers/ non-Christians about life / God / church etc.
If you only think about one question, that's also ok. I will kind of try to create a top 10 of the questions you come up with and try to order them in this first post.

Top 10 asked questions by non-believers and non-Christians:
1. If God is good, why is there evil in this world?
2. I`m a good person, so why do I have to accept Jesus to go to heaven?
3. If God is so loving, why would He send someone to hell?
4. How do you know that God is real?
5. What about evidence in the Universe for the Big Bang?
6. Why did God create this world?
7. Who created God?
8. Why can't you prove there is a God?
9. Why do you say homosexuality is wrong?
10. What is "sin"?

This is to prepare myself a bit and get the answers ready ;-)


God bless you,
Jona.

2. How do you know that God is real?

3. How and/or why is homosexualiy wrong?

4. What is "sin"?

5. If Adam and Eve were the first people, then wouldn't they have had to engage in incest for people to come about?

6. Why did/would God create this world?

That's all I can think of.

  • Who created God?
  • Did God endorse slavery?
  • Why don't you still stone people?
  • What about the evidence in the Universe for the Big Bang?
  • Why can't you prove there is a God?

Ahh, I love a good conversation with an atheist! It's a shame some of them have to resort to mockery when they start losing the debate.

Looks as if we have ten questions already. These two I've heard numerous times in attempting to witness:

If God is so loving, why would He send someone to Hell?

I'm a good person, so why do I have to accept Jesus to go to Heaven?

I can't think of any questions offhand but this is a solid idea.

Thanks! I created this top 10 out of your replies as a start.
Any more suggestions or thoughts about what should be in the top 10?

5. What about evidence in the Universe for the Big Bang?

Why is this a problem? Before the Big Bang theory, most scientists believed that the universe had always existed, and that it had no beginning - in direct contradiction to the Bible, which teaches that the universe did begin at some point, because God created it out of nothing.

Now most people agree that the universe did have a beginning - a rare example of science coming into agreement with Scripture!

(Although it's called the "Big Bang", that's just a popular name that has stuck. Scientists don't really think there was a cosmic explosion).

If you give them the answers to these questions would they believe it ? Look at the Pharisee's. Did they not ask Jesus many questions? Didn't Jesus answer their question? Did they believe His answer? No they did not. They continued to harass Him. These unbelievers know who God is and how to be saved. So why be the bait on their hook? Pray for their salvation.

I`m actually creating a chatbot to reply on these questions. In case someone is serious he/she can be forwarded to a real person or invited for a visit to our Jesus Café.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
