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 use that strange word “tabernacle”? It’s just a church building like any other, isn’t it?
Christian, tell me why do you expect anyone to have blind faith in something they can’t see? Why follow a fairy tale?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about “covenants”? What does that mean, and why is it important to you?
Christian, tell me why are you such an intolerant prude about sex? Why can’t you let people do what they choose with their own bodies?
Christian, tell me why do you say that people are created “in the image of God”?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about “redemption” or “being redeemed” or Jesus as your “Redeemer”? What do you mean by the word “redeem”?
Christian, tell me why do you believe that God exists? Don’t quote the Bible; give real evidence.
Christian, tell me why do you worship such a bloodthirsty God, who is always sending fire and brimstone onto anyone who offends him?
Christian, tell me why do you think that God is close to us? You talk about how big and holy and majestic He is. Isn’t it contradicting yourself to say that He is also close by each individual person?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about the “sovereignty” of God? What does that mean?
Christian, tell me why do you call yourself “salt” or “light”? What is meant by that?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about God’s “blessings”? What does it mean to be blessed?
Christian, tell me why do you insist on talking about some big scary Judgment Day? We can’t know what will happen, so as long as we sincerely try, we should be OK, shouldn’t we? And why keeping “harping” on heaven-in-the-clouds-with-angels, or shouting about fire and brimstone in hell?
Christian, tell me why do you expect a Second Coming of Jesus? It’s been over 2000 years. Get over it: He’s like all the other legends and never coming back!
Christian, tell me why does the word “Armageddon” convey such disaster? What is it, really?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about someone called the “Anti-Christ”? Who is this big, bad person we’re supposed to be afraid of? And what’s up with Babylon? Why is that ancient empire coming up again?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about a coming time of “Tribulation”? Doesn’t that mean “trouble”? Why anticipate such a thing?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about something called “Rapture”? What does that mean?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about all of those “End Times” topics? What do you mean by “Rapture”, “Tribulation”, or “Millenium”? What makes you think such things are real, or matter in the real world?
Christian, tell me why do you sing about “Onward, Christian Soldiers” and talk about the “armor of God”? Why be so militant?
Christian, tell me why do you believe that God is acting in human history? There are always wars and conflicts, and the winners aren’t always the good guys. Who says that God has anything to do with it?
Christian, tell me why is God called by so many names? God, Father, Lord, lots of different Hebrew words. Why not pick one and stick with it?
Christian, tell me why is the book of Ecclesiastes even in the Bible? It seems negative and fatalistic and weird. What’s up?
Christian, tell me why does the Bible say that God is “jealous”? Isn’t jealousy a bad thing?
Christian, tell me why are Jesus’ followers usually called “Christian” but sometimes called “disciple”? What does “disciple” mean?
Christian, tell me why do you say that we shouldn’t worry about money? Why shouldn’t I do my best to get ahead?
Christian, tell me why was it so bad for Adam and Eve to eat a piece of fruit? It hardly seems to warrant getting kicked out and sentenced to death!
Christian, tell me why do you think that Jesus is the Messiah? What does “Messiah” mean, anyway?

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?
