  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?

  Christianity today, especially in the Western cultures, has been watered down in order to reach a broader audience. Churches are hesitant to speak on the bold claims and truths found in the Bible for fear of offending people. We’ve created a Christianity that is lukewarm so everyone can feel comfortable and free to mold God into their worldview. When Christians begin speaking the truths found in the Bible, that is when many people begin to reject the faith and turn away. This is because following Christ was not meant to be easy, and many people are still conformed to the world.

  People have many reasons for rejecting Christian faith. Some may admire Christ but dislike His followers. This is because many people still loving the world. And the Bible telling us if someone love the world. To love God it is impossible.

  People rejecting the Christian faith simply because of their own ideas (materialism ideas they have),others they don’t like Christianity faith by thinking to lack freedom of doing what they want in some places, others admire christ because of his kindness, mercies, and compassion to all people which he had shown the time he was on the earth and still progressing, people sometimes dislike his followers and this is true even a Bible has shown us and church history many followers were excuted clearly Jesus said that as a believers we are no longer part of the world that’s why people hates followers in John chapter 15:19,17-14,16,Jesus spoke to his followers and prayed God to protect them,lastly accepting God or unaccepting is a matter of freedom and choice people pushing away A gospel because there are not ready to receive changes in their lives.

  As we live in a society as in UK, god as been pushed out of society in many ways, hospitals, schools , workplaces etc
  When we do meet people on the streets to talk to them we can come across as weird and strange, so whats should be normal to us, its the opposite to them. They reach out to the god of medicines ie doctors, we reach out to Jesus to heal and he does heal.
  we been conditioned to pay for everything , everything as a price and a few cant believe that we go on the streets to pray for people for free, there thinking is there must be a catch or hook.
  In general people dismiss the true gospel of the good news of Jesus because they might have heard about or of Jesus but dont understand its a working relationship with Jesus and miss out on his miracles

  I think people are so afraid of upsetting people, and so many want to believe that we all have our “own truths” (you believe what you want, I will believe what I want, etc). People do not like the idea that so many people are incorrect when it comes to religion and what to believe. I think people like the idea of Christ because he was kind, he was a good example, and did wonderful things while on earth. I think people reject his followers because there are many people who are hypocrites that are Christians, and they feel “judged”. I believe these concerns do sound valid, but when you really think about it, there cannot be more than one truth.
