@Willibab89@FreyaAndHerCats Nah it’s geniunely not people come up with a bunch of “whataboutisms” but if you read it yourself you’d never draw any conclusions that most internet talking points like to pick on
@AlwaysWrightDM@edgaralandough This was a law tying a man to financial responsibility for the woman he wronged, not giving him unrestricted permission to rape women and marry them. Exodus 22:16–17 explicitly says her father could refuse the marriage. ❤️
If you feel unprepared to defend Jesus or Christianity when challenged, you don't need any clever arguments or advanced training. There are simple, clear and biblically grounded ways to answer a few of the most common objections...
• If they say: "Jesus never existed."
You say: Even non-Christian historians like Tacitus, Josephus and Pliny the Younger mention Him. No serious historian doubts that a man named Jesus of Nazareth existed and was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
• If they say: "The Bible has been manipulated and changed too many times, it can't be trusted."
You say: Ask them, How precisely do you know what the Bible originally said in order to make such a claim? We have over 5,800 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament. Scholars compare them carefully, and the core text remains about 99.5% consistent. No other ancient document comes close to that level of preservation. The message is cohesive throughout, there is a unity of thought and none of the real variations change any core teaching or big idea within it.
• If they say: "The disciples just stole the body of Christ."
You say: People will die for what they sincerely believe is true. They do not willingly get tortured and executed for something they know is a lie. Most of the disciples, except John who died of old age, were persecuted and martyred for claiming they had seen the risen Jesus and none of them recanted to save themselves.
• If they say: "Jesus was just a good moral teacher."
You say: A good moral teacher does not claim to forgive sins, accept worship, or call Himself equal with God. Those claims force a choice: He was either lying, insane, or telling The Truth. The Gospels present Him as the last of these. [see John 10:30, Mark 2:5–12 & John 20:28]
• If they say: "A good God wouldn't allow suffering."
You say: Christianity is the only worldview in which even God Himself entered human suffering. He did not merely watch from a distance, He was tortured and killed on a cross for sinners and the only one to defeat death. No other religion has a God with physical scars. [Isaiah 53; Philippians 2:5–8; Revelation 5:6]
These short replies are easy to understand, historically grounded and rooted in the biblical picture of who Jesus is and what He did. I hope they can help you to earnestly contend for the faith. :)
@ionkne@cuddlemywr1st Nobody drops as much music as him so this js unfair to say, folks was just hitting Che osamason and nett w the repetitive tag early 26' yall just some bots
@Willibab89@FreyaAndHerCats Then read the book yourself and see what it means to you, but starting off with “Christians have too many expectations to live up to” just proves you have no understanding of Christianity or the Bible, so why are you online critiquing it?
