Why I Don't Believe Series

Unbelievers hold on to one or more personal convictions on why they do not believe in Christ.

Believe me, before non-believers became believers they too have the same experience.

Contrary to popular belief, believers are not blind sheep.

They previously have existing concerns which they personally have to deal with, and overcome before they became believers. True believers weren't merely born into the faith and then just blindly accepted Christianity as their faith.

True believers, like with the very first believers, have to choose between a convenient life and physical, mental and emotional hardship (to be a believer), even death.

Today, the concerns may be slightly different, and are different from one person to another, or one society to another. But for the most part they are all common to humankind.

Let us look at some of them:

1. Submission (Sexism)

2. Racism (Slavery)

3. Book of Fables

4. Political Correctness

5. Going Against the Flow

7. Believe It or Not

8. SETI

9. Sexual Issues

10. Political Issues

11. Jesus Didn't Say He Was God

12. Christians Are Out of Whack

13. I Got Turned Off By Religion

14. Why Doesn't God Reveal Himself Or Prove Himself To Us Now

15. If There's A Will, There's A Plan (with 5 Lessons: 16-20)

The Shepherd and His Flock

“I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them.

Therefore Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10 (NIV 84)

Disclaimer

If you have issues with Hillsong or Bethel or Elevation or any of the so-called heretical churches or preachers, we are not condoning any false teachings. There is always something we can find wrong in all churches, including the one we call ours. But there is one faith, there is one baptism, there is One God, there is One Spirit and One Savior, Jesus Christ. If we agree on all these then let's all work together for good. The Lord is coming back. Let us stop wasting time with nitpicking, criticizing other believers because they wear strange clothes or sing weird songs, or read a version of the bible we don't, or speak in tongues or do or believe something which we don't, instead let us do what God has really called us to do. God has called each one of us to do something. Let's do that.
