Here are some questions I sometimes hear from non-Christians concerning the Christian faith. How would you respond to them?
1. Suppose that someone claims that Jesus changed his life. He claims that he is no longer an adulterer and a thief because Jesus changed his life. How do you know that the change in his life is due to Jesus intervening in his life? People can change for the better without Jesus.
2. If God has no beginning, then what is wrong with believing that the universe has no beginning?
3. Why isn't there any credible evidence outside of the Bible that verifies that Jesus was born of a virgin, did miracles, and rose from the dead? Isn't it odd that there isn't any?
4. If the cosmological, design, and moral arguments can be used to prove the existence of Zeus or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, then what makes you think that the supernatural entity
who exists is the God of the Bible?
5. Where is the proof that God exists? Jesus rose from the dead? Why can't something else besides the supernatural account for Christ's resurrection?
6. Can you give an example of some phenomena that people can see that can only be caused by the supernatural? Miracles? Where is the evidence for miracles? Things other than the supernatural can account for so called miracles.
