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 you say that you were predestined to be one of the elect, special chosen ones? That seems awfully arrogant. It also makes it seem like no one has a real choice whether to become a
Christian or not.
Christian, tell me why are churches so often the fanciest and most expensive buildings in town? Shouldn’t all that money go to helping the poor or something?
Christian, tell me why was the Ark of the Covenant important? What was it exactly, and what was special about it?
Christian, tell me why do you think of God as a friend? How can a sinner be friends with the Almighty?
Christian, tell me why is the cross symbol so important to you? I know that Jesus was crucified, but why turn the cross into an icon?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about washing your feet? That’s a little digusting!
Christian, tell me why do you see Jesus in the Jewish annual festivals? They were started hundreds of years before He lived!
Christian, why do we call someone who does a good deed a “Good Samaritan”? Where does the term come from?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about “spiritual gifts” or “gifts of the Spirit”? What kind of gifts do you mean?
Christian, tell me why do you keep saying that people are all sinners? Sure, there are plenty of sins, but not everyone commits them.
Christian, tell me why do you say that God “delights” in you? Or that you delight in Him? Religion is usually associated with rules, not with delight!
Christian, tell me why do you appropriate all of the Old Testament promises to Israel as applying to you also? You’re not Jewish!
Christian, tell me why do you insist that belief in Jesus is so important? Some people don’t believe in God; others believe in God but not Jesus. What difference does it make?
Christian, tell me why do you tell scare stories about Hell? I don’t appreciate being manipulated into buying your “fire insurance”!
Christian, tell me why do you look forward to Heaven, anyway? I’m not particularly interested in living in the clouds, playing a harp, or sitting in an endless church service singing worship songs forever.
Christian, tell me why are you so judgmental? Doesn’t the Bible tell you not to judge others?
Christian, tell me why do you say that you have a “Great Commission” to spread Christianity? Isn’t it arrogant to try to force everyone else to believe like you do?
Christian, tell me why do you think it’s important that God became man? That’s an old fairy tale: The gods in mythology became human all the time.
Christian, tell me why do you celebrate Palm Sunday the week before Easter? What does it mean?
Christian, tell me why do you think that we have to be Christian in order to be good people? Lots of non-Christians are good (and some Christians aren’t!)
Christian, tell me why are you so confident about your hope in Christ? The things we hope for don’t always come to pass, after all!
Christian, tell me why do you talk about the “fear of God”? Why do you worship if you’re afraid of him?
Christian, tell me why do you say that Jesus was brave? That’s not a description I hear very often.
Christian, tell me why do you believe that anything about us persists after we die?
Christian, tell me why do you talk so much about church activities? You say that Christianity is about Jesus, not choir rehearsal, don’t you?
Christian, tell me why do you insist that everyone needs Jesus?

In fact, God loves you SO much that Jesus Christ, God Himself, died for you.
He’s waiting eagerly for you to accept His free gift of life with Him.
But He won’t force you; it’s your decision to make.
What is your choice?
