These articles define Christian doctrines and the reasoning behind them.
Christian, tell me why do some church groups sing new “praise choruses” while other sing old-fashioned hymns? Why do some use organ and piano accompaniment, others use drums and guitars, and others use none at all? What are the Bible’s instructions?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about the “will” of God? Why do you pray “Thy will be done”, or say “God willing…”?
Christian, tell me why do you always end your prayers with “in Jesus’ name”?
Christian, tell me why do you refer to Jesus as your “Savior” and ask people whether they are “saved”? Saved from what?
Christian, tell me why do you say that God is “holy”? What do you mean by that?
Christian, tell me why do you think that Sunday should be a special day? Why treat one day different from the others?
Christian, tell me why do you refer to Jesus as a “cornerstone”?
Christian, tell me why do you talk about “atonement”? That’s an awfully church-y word. What does it mean?
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 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 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 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 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 believe that Satan is real?
Christian, tell me why you are always talking about “Eternity”?
Christian, tell me why do you talk so much about blood? That’s gruesome!

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?
