  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?

  For people who ask “Why?”, my response is “Why not?” Truly in following Christ is there is so much more to gain.

  People have reasons for rejecting the Christian faith because they have free will. I believe that as Christians we need to talk with others who do not share our same beliefs. We should have a respectful conversation with those people, and explain and point out reasons why their is only one God.

  I believe that these are valid and understandable objections. I don’t believe we will be able to share the Love and gospel of Christ with others if we discount their feelings and beliefs. Instead we need to hear and understand these feelings, so that we may respectfully and lovingly address their objections. Jesus showed his power and Divinity through His word, his miracles, and his character and life on earth. So if we understand and believe these miracles and power, then we must believe their is only one way. We can believe two very different things at the same time.

  1. Some may dislike Jesus’ followers because they are humans and sin. Sin causes people to do things that are unloving. I too have disliked some of Christ’s followers, but because Jesus loved me and loves them. My response is to also love those ones.
  2. My question to those who think there is more than one way…how could it be that simple? And if so why is “God” important? The fact that there is one way gives me a reason to have faith and believe. I believe that Christ who came and died for me is the one way. If I believed that was just one of the ways, then his death would not have been important.
  3. I am not sure why anyone would want to be following multiple religions because at that point., faith is truly not there. They are just following what is good and popular at the moment.

  The Christian faith points to one God, whereas many others have multiple Gods. The fact that One God exists is foundational to Christianity.
