Reasons I sometimes have had doubts about Christianity, or at least the religion of it:
1. I can't imagine why so many people
are condemned to hell because they don't even know about Jesus' salvation.
2. I'm confused about the Kingdom of God - yes, it is within
us, I get that. But what about heaven? Where is it, really? When? And is there really hell, and if so, is it really like it is so often presented? And is it bad of me not to be so sure about things other people seem to be so sure about?
3. If You know the future (okay, if You're outside of time and see it all at once ... or however that works) and You
were able to see how rebellious we'd be, why would You want to "save" us (or even create us)? Has it been worth it?
4. Did you mean for Christians to have so
many different opinions/ interpretations
--and to be so sure they are right and everyone else (including other Christians
, of course) are wrong? Or is that perhaps a hint
that You are so much more immense and incomprehensible than our little minds would like to box You into?
5. Was the Bible ever (like in its very original writings) more or less infallible or whatever? Just because it's "inspired," does that mean it's perfect (seeing as how it
was written down by dozens of
obviously imperfect humans, and tells the stories of so many other imperfect humans)?
What questions do you readers have?
