  At the beginning of this program we learned: “People have many reasons for rejecting the Christian faith. Some may admire Christ but dislike His followers. Others find it difficult to accept any faith that claims to be the only way to God. Why would anyone limit themselves to only one of the world’s great religions?” How valid are each of these objections? What is your response to each?

  I have met many people over the years who have a rough time believing in Jesus being the Son of God and in Christianity itself and I have noticed that it is many times a pride issue, not being willing to humble themselves to the fact that there is a greater power than them that is actually in control of all things when they are not. I have also met many who say they believe in God, but they have a tough time believing that there is only one way to get to Him and that if there was only one way, they definitely don’t believe is Jesus Christ. With the world that we currently live in and all of the different doctrines that exist, it definitely takes a supernatural softening of the heart in order to believe that Jesus is Who He claims to be. In our flesh, there is no way our eyes could be opened to believe completely in Jesus and what He can do because it goes against what we naturally see completely. But, if I were to have a conversation with anyone who makes these objections right now, I would ask them to consider the alternative. If Jesus is not Who He says He is, then we are not any worse off for not believing. But, if He is Who He says (and He is), then our best live can only be found in taking Him at His Word because the same miracles He performed in Scripture, He is still able to perform today. This is not one of the world’s great religions, but the world’s greatest relationship and that is what separates Christianity from all other doctrines.

  When considering individual interpretation, we would have to consider provided evidence and claims to the separate cases. For the first claim for the disliking of His followers. In this case how did his followers interpret the miracles of the Messiah, was it a challenge to their personal beliefs? or was it how the individual was educated during their time of redemption.
  The next claim we have to configure individual acceptance of faith. For this we have to consider how the individual is approaching the faith, and level of understanding, or challenges to the faith to guide them to the truth, and that is his word.
  Finally, the validity we are discovering more and more everyday when it comes to Gods interpretation upon his miracles to how we view them. In these cases it is best to educate others and ourselves so that we can better understand our own faith. As different backgrounds grows with diversity I personally feel that It is very important to guide others to the Truth and that is God’s words and ways.

  Jesus is God. People may time limit themselves to only one of the world’s religions because it is all they know. It is all that they have been taught. Regions are something that many don’t seek, not because it isn’t important but because there are so many other false Gods of the world. I feel that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for me. Who else would die for my sins? I myself find it hard to even think about dying, but he did just that.

  Why wouldn’t you believe in Jesus, He did that which was prophesied he cast out demons, healed the sick, cripples walk, blind eyes open, sanity restored, He preached love forgiveness. I think people like want what Jesus represents they want to be like He but also live the way they want to, they don’t understand that there is joy an peace in holiness being saved is fun, exciting , interesting, full of wonderment grace and mercy, ones who don’t like Christian my have encountered the overly zealous christian who If you don’t believe straight to hell with you no compassion, the wishy-washy saved one day in the world the next always making excuses, ones who fight an kill believe that salvation is only for certain races they haven’t read or understood who Jesus is haven’t come to the full knowledge of who God is, or have felt the tug of God an are afraid to yeld.

  Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are three in one. Jesus is the way, the truth, and life and only he is the perfect one.
  No human is perfect except Christ, it is making sense that we do not like his followers because they are also human and they are not perfect either.

  Jesus has come to experience how does it feel to be like a human on earth, he has sacrificed for us and died for our sins. Through Jesus, we can be connected with God, and also how God understands us from heaven.
