1. There’s no scientific evidence for God.

While God’s existence isn’t proven by science, which studies the natural world, there is evidence like the complexity of life and the universe’s fine-tuning (e.g., Romans 1:20) points to a purposeful design. Faith complements reason, not contradicts it.

2. The Bible is full of contradictions.

Many apparent contradictions arise from misreading context, translation issues, or historical perspective. Studying the original languages and cultural settings (e.g., 2 Timothy 3:16) reveals a consistent message of God’s love and redemption.

3. How can a loving God allow suffering?

Suffering is a result of human free will and a fallen world (Genesis 3). God doesn’t cause it but works through it for good (Romans 8:28), offering comfort and an eternal hope beyond this life.

4. Christianity is just one of many religions—why is it special?

Christianity claims uniqueness in Jesus’ resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:14), a historical event with eyewitness accounts. It’s not about earning salvation but receiving grace (gift), setting it apart from works-based faiths.

5. Christians are hypocritical and judgmental.

Christians aren’t perfect; they’re sinners saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). Jesus condemned hypocrisy (Matthew 7:1-5) and calls believers to love, not judge—failures reflect human weakness, not Christ’s teachings.

6. The concept of hell is unjust.

Hell reflects God’s justice and respect for free will. He doesn’t force anyone into relationship with Him (Revelation 3:20). It’s less about punishment and more about the natural consequence of rejecting God’s love.

7. Religion is just a crutch for the weak.

Faith provides strength, not weakness, enabling people to face life’s hardships with hope (Philippians 4:13). Even the strongest need purpose—Christianity offers that through a relationship with God.

8.  The Old Testament God seems cruel.

God’s actions in the Old Testament (e.g., judgment on nations) reflect His holiness and justice against pervasive evil, balanced by mercy (Exodus 34:6-7). Jesus fulfills this by revealing God’s love more fully.

9.  Miracles are impossible and unscientific.

If God created the universe, He can intervene in it (John 1:1-3). Miracles aren’t random but purposeful signs of His power and love, like the resurrection, which invites faith beyond naturalism.

10. Christianity oppresses people (e.g., women, minorities).

 Jesus elevated the marginalized—women, the poor, outcasts (Galatians 3:28). Oppression comes from human misuse of power, not Christ’s teachings, which call for equality (not sameness)and love.
