Also, by this guys definition of a "educated christian" almost no one on runevillage is going to qualify. Because the majority of people on this website are 18 or under.
This isn't a debate, it's trolling.
For simplicity's sake I'll do you a favor though.
1. Why won't God heal amputees?
2. Why are there so many starving people in our world?
3. Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the Bible? (quotes a few bible verses).
4. Why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense?
5. Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the Bible?
6. Why do bad things happen to good people?
7. Why didn't any of Jesus' miracles in the Bible leave behind any evidence?
8. How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you?
9. Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood?
10. Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians?
It's a huge troll fest.
Lul im 17 but w/e gonna pwnsauce dem questions. Just so you know, if you would read the bible and try to understand at least where believers come from, you might have a better arguement than some rage video against christianity, and please do understand that if you believe the bible (what it says not your own interpretation, than you believe god created the world and everything in it, that means life form wise not the sin or any of that, assuming god made the world and everything in it perfect, but when he did this he wanted people to choose to love him, not to jsut be mindless pawns, so he gave us free will. with that free will man was tempted and fell into sin where we have been ever since. god didn't make us sin, just like he didn't make that guy an amputee or a divorcee or a widow or w/e it may be. SIN and the devil made that happen, not god.) and if you're going to say well how can a loving god sit by and watch, well that loving god has his hand over us and for those who follow him he never gives you more than you can handle. bad things happen so good things can come out of them. he gave us free will. the devil will tempt you and attack you to try and pry you from gods arms. if you allow yourself to think that the bad things are gods will and not the devils than you, that my friend is where you have gone wrong. If your sole arguement is god is that god, assuming he exists, makes bad things happen, then you are wrong in believeing that there is only god and nothing more. If you're going to argue to christians that we are wrong becuz god allows bad things, then you're not realizing the devil is there, youre not acknowledging him and therefore you're not even talking about christianity.
1. God didn't make them an amputee, sin did. God allows it to happen so he can work, to show himself through that person's trial. Its like if you've ever seen a motivational speaker, if you see a 120 lb guy whose been skinny his whole life and hes preaching to you to stop eatting and lose weight. you're not inspired youre just pissed cuz some naturally skinny guy is telling you when he has no experience. Now if you see a speaker on losing weight that went from 300 lbs to 150 lbs. you're inspired because you see that hes experienced that and he got through it. If we never had anything go wrong we would never have faith. God wants believers with faith not some hypocritical idiots who curse him everytime they stub their toe.
2. Why are there so many starving people in our world? same answer as #1. When god made the world he gave us plenty food for all. we he gave us free choice, we screwed up in how we dictated the food. And btw theres enough food on the earth to feed everyone 3000 calories a day. Now tell me, are you going to blame god for "starving" people or are you going to blame people for being selfish. God is all that is good, you can't blame him for the sin of greed.
3. Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the Bible? (quotes a few bible verses). God was tired of the sin in the world. the people you talk about definatley weren't "innocent", rape, debauchery, sodemy, stealing, murder were all running rampant in the people he wiped out. He wiped out the people who were most corrupt. He allowed free choice, but he also gave guidelines on how to live. When people disobeyed and disobeyed. He got angry and decided to kill everyone who was corrupt. After he flooded the earth, he promised never to do that again. so he stopped and the only reason i believe all of us are still alive is because god promised not to cleanse the earth of sin anymore until he returns.
4. Why does the Bible contain so much anti-scientific nonsense? If you really actually get into the facts, the bible makes perfect sense, other than the fact that its NOT a science book, and its NOT all supposed to fit into some formula, the majority of the bible has been scientifically proven, you however are too busy being arrogant to open your eyes to the facts. The majority "unproved" such as the miracles jesus did have been written in thousands of eye witness accounts. I mean the bible was written 25-100 years after jesus's death. Keep in mind people back then lived to be wayyyyyyyy older than now. Its not just legend all the eye witness accounts were taken as true because when the bible came out. the people who had actually been there and witnessed jesus's claims and miracles promoted the bible. Legends are written wayyyyy after everyone from that era is long gone so that no one can refute what the writer says, however the bible is written while the people who witnessed were still around to say yes this is true and it happened or no it did not. and guess what, they 100% backed everything the bible said, thats why christianity is still here today, it would've died off as some cult if people didn't know it was true back then.
5. Why is God such a huge proponent of slavery in the Bible? hes not, he rescues his people out of slavery on multiple accounts... why don't u read the bible for once and you'd know that.
6. Why do bad things happen to good people? same answer as #1. sin does bad not god, god allows it to happen so he can get true believers with faith, not just fake "sunday believers", and so he can work miracles through that.
7. Why didn't any of Jesus' miracles in the Bible leave behind any evidence? they did. first off as christians you're sposed to live by faith, not by what you see and hear because those are things of the world, but there is proof that you are apparently missing.....you count the iliad and cesars account of the wars as historical documents and they were written 500+ years after they actually happen. but you don't believe the bible even though it was written 100 years after it happened. The iliad had 6 copied manuscripts ( you need 5 to be considered a historical document of truth and worth). cesars accounts of the wars had like 180 and the bible had 24,000, but yet you claim there is no evidence....even non believers accounts from the time assert that jesus actually performed those miracles.
8. How do we explain the fact that Jesus has never appeared to you? after he died he appeared to over 500 ppl at once, he came back for a month to be with the people on earth. he told us he would come back at the 2nd coming at the end of the world. there is no promise in the bible yo uwill ever see him, so why push that we need to see him. its called faith because we haven't seen and we believe
9. Why would Jesus want you to eat his body and drink his blood? so we can become one with him. its freaking symbolism he broke bread and they drank wine. in the bible they didn't actually eat his flesh or drink his blood. read the bible before asking questions like this....
10. Why do Christians get divorced at the same rate as non-Christians? Sin, and alot of the "christians" you talk about are fake. they go to church so they assume they're saved, they don't make any change in how they live but on sundays they get all dressed up and go to church. don't confuse them with true believers.
