Question of the Week: If Jesus was perfect, why have Christians throughout history done evil things in His name?
Verses: 1 Corinthians 11:1
When Christians do evil things, we have the opportunity to remember the most important part of Christianity and why we believe it. We don’t follow Christians. We follow Christ. If fallen people do fallen things, it doesn’t change anything about who Jesus is and what He has done for us in history.

Question of the Week: Why are Atheists so against the idea of a global flood?
Verses: 2 Peter 3:3-7

The most common rejections of Christianity are based on assumptions rather than conclusions. When a person is told about any event in history, they have no problem acknowledging it based on fragmentary evidence that came from individuals who weren’t even there. The Life of Alexander the Great was first recorded by Plutarch centuries after his lifetime, and the only reason we know he wrote about it was because of pieces of evidence that he wrote over 400 years after Alexander’s death. Since the archeology lines up with later copies, they will teach it in schools. However, you bring up even a passing mention of what the Bible talks about in history and all of these standards go out the window. Whether it’s Jonah and the Fish, Noah’s Flood, or the Tower of Babel, it couldn’t have happened because we only have pieces of archeology that confirm things written by people who weren’t there like Moses centuries after the fact. Why the double standard? Not because there isn’t evidence, but the assumption there can’t be a God. The problem isn’t knowing whether or not the Bible is history. Very few lives are given to Christ after multiple attestation is given to verify whether Moses was a historical figure or not. The assumption is that this life is all there is, and if there is a God, then those who reject Christianity have a lot to answer for to the God whose standards they’ve violated. Until the heart changes, the evidence will always be turned down. That’s the real issue that needs to be confronted.

Question of the Week: Don’t all religions teach the Golden Rule?
Verses: Luke 6:31

The claim that the Golden Rule, treat others as you yourself want to be treated, is something that every religion taught before Christianity is merely an attempt from the secular crowd to assert that Christianity isn’t based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, but a collection of other religions teachings. For this to be true, there would need to be evidence that religions before Christianity even taught this. Buddhism: Udanavargu 5:18: Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
This is what’s called The Negative Golden Rule. Also note that these writings are sourced back to the 6th century BC, but the earliest we have date to the 2nd Century AD after Christianity had reached India.
Hindu: Mahabarata 5:1517: “This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you”
Cited in a book dated to the 1400’s BC but only available to the public in the 1950’s AD.
Islam: Quran 4:36: “Serve God, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess [the slave]: For God loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious.”
Not only does this verse not even closely resemble the Golden Rule in Luke, but in context is speaking to fellow Muslims. Not as a rule of conduct for all people especially after Surah 9 was written.
Judaism: Tobit 4:16: “See that you never do to another what you’d hate to have done to yourself.”
The book of Tobit was tot recognized by the Jewish people as divine scripture since it was written in 150BC when all revelation had stopped until Messiah came 150 years later.
Native American: “Live in Harmony, for we are all related.”
That is a Lakota/Sioux proverb that was passed by oral tradition within the last 2 centuries. Ironically 2 hundred years after Christian missionaries had already influenced their societies.
Wicca: That is the Wiccan Rede that was invented in the 1940’s AD by Briton Gerald Gardner. He was hardly original or even clear in the system of morality he tried to invent.

Question of the Week: Why did God create Hell?
Verses: Matthew 25:41

Hell is an eternal existence without God. What makes it torture is because every good and perfect gift that comes from God won’t go with you. This kind of existence wasn’t created for mankind. When Lucifer rebelled against God, his desire was to be separate from the True and Living God and be his own god. The practice of his free will as well as the desire of his followers was respected by God and so their wishes were granted. This existence apart from God is reserved for the devil and his followers who share in his desire to be separate from God. This applies to humans who reject a personal relationship with God as well as angels. However, this is not an existence you want.
