  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?

  It is simply because of the hardness of the human heart … and the refusal to allow that anyone – other than self – could possibly control our destiny … That anyone would refuse to acknowledge Jesus as Whom He claimed to be! The task before us, though, is to be able to help others see Jesus for Who He is – without further alienating them from the possibility of meeting God face-to-face. Good arguments are a beginning, but that’s not all that we have to do.

  On the surface, these reasons seem to ring true. But God is not a God of what is fair and feels good. He is a God of truth. He is set apart and Holy. He has provided a way for us that is simple and easy if we are willing to let go of control and approach Him like a child.

  I believe that the objections are not valid. I can sympathize with admiring Christ but not liking His followers. One important thing to keep in mind with that objection is that people are fallen. We should look at Jesus and His example of how to live and not a people and their actions.

  People don’t like to accept only one faith claims to be the way God, because if it is true they have to be accountable to someone outside of themselves to receive said access.

  One would limit themselves to only one of the world’s religions because there can only be one religion that is objectively true. Once all possible evidence is reviewed from Christian and secular sources there is only one conclusion that makes sense.

  At this time many limit themselves from the greatest religion and the only way to salvation because they believe that Christianity is to strict and the ways of God has too many rules. They want to do what the world say is ok not what God says is ok. People want to live in a way that benefits them when they should be living for God. My respose to this is that the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ. Good works and deeds or being a good person does not get you into heaven. Living the way we want and not following God is a one way ticket away from Him. We are to live in a way to show the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

  I can see why people might dislike his followers. We live for ourselves and not live like Christ. Good himself says He is there only way.
