Find Jesus
The following notes are from one of our BIC church web sites (which we think are kind of well done) so we offer it here. The references to "I" shows that it is written by a pastor and not a denominational bureaucrat (which we think is fine, too!) The author's name is Bruxy Cavey by the way - from our Meeting House church in Oakville, Ontario.
Q: What is a Christian?
Q: How do I become, as you say, a "Christ Follower"?
Q: Do I have to become a goof if I become a Christian?
Q: Is there any proof that God exists?
Q: Is there any proof outside of the Bible that Jesus existed?
Q: Why is the Christian God such a hypocrite?
Q: Prove that God is looking down on us. PROVE IT!
Q: Why do we have a choice to follow him, but if we don't, we get punished? That is not free choice.
Q: Why is Christ the only way?
Q: Why is religion so ignorant and unreal?
Q: Where did God come from?
Q: If we believe that many different prophets have found "The Way" throughout the ages, and that the similarities between the different prophets of all religions far outweigh their dis-similarities, then we would have faith that "The Way" to live one's life is clear. Is it necessary to make the "leap of faith" and believe in the stories / legends / myths / dogma of the existence of a "Higher Being" and a "thereafter"? For example, we believe in Ten Commandments, Sermon on the Mount, The Dao, etc., why would we need to believe in the Parting of the Red Sea, Jesus' resurrection, etc...?
