This list contains the majority of articles on this site. They are written in the question-and-answer format of “Christian, tell me why….” answered by my reasoning of “Because”.
Christian, tell me why do we have so much conflict when all religions claim to be about peace? Even Islam is said to mean “peace”, and their arch-enemy Israel is all about “shalom”, also meaning peace. In that case, why doesn’t the world HAVE peace?
Christian, tell me why do you say that Christ has set you free, but you should always be giving in to someone else? Isn’t that contradicting yourself?
Christian, tell me why do you insist that God acts in human affairs? Whatever you’re seeing is just coincidence and wishful thinking!
Christian, tell me why do we need to be shown our sin? Wouldn’t sin be pretty obvious?
Christian, tell me why has God so made so many laws we are expected to obey? Nobody can follow all those rules!
Christian, tell me why are there so many different denominations? Can’t you all get along?!

Christian, tell me why does the world stay so broken despite all our attempts to fix things?

Christian, tell me why do you say that Pride is such a bad thing? It’s normal to hope for praise when we do something well. What’s wrong with that?

Christian, tell me why do you say that “Quality Time” is God’s love language?

Christian, tell me why do you say that God starts every interaction? Doesn’t it begin when we ask for something, and then He answers?
Christian, tell me why do you splatter people’s personal problems to the world and call it a “prayer request”. It’s just spreading gossip!
