Common Objections to Christianity

How Can Anyone Be Certain of the Bible's Meaning?

Gary DeLashmutt

Does It Matter If the Bible Is Historically Accurate?

Gary DeLashmutt

Can There Be Only One Way to God?

Gary DeLashmutt
John 3:16-18; John 8:24; John 14:6
Religious relativism is a self defeating view, the idea that there is no objective truth is an objective truth claim. The religions and beliefs of this world are diverse and contradictory. We should search for truth through our experience of the world around us and based on what we can know.

How Can a Loving God Allow so much Suffering?

Gary DeLashmutt
Romans 8:20-28; Revelation 21:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9
Pain and suffering is an unavoidable part of the world that we live in. Much of the pain and suffering in this world is a result of human choices, which is a consequence of the free will that God gave us. Some pain and suffering are consequences of us living in a fallen world; there isn't always a clear reason for the suffering we endure, but we know God can use it for good and can show us things through our pain.

How is the Bible Different from Other Scriptures?

Gary DeLashmutt
Jeremiah 26:2; 2 Peter 1:21; Luke 3:1
The Bible stands out from other scriptures in its accuracy of historical claims, and it's fulfilled prophecy. God chose to confirm His message to mankind through these verifiable claims. Some spiritual texts contradict history, while others make no verifiable claims.
