Page 5 - Advanced Apologetics and World Views Revised

The Bible
Is the Bible full of errors? Doesn’t the Bible contradict itself? Considering
scientific facts, aren’t the first 11 chapters in Genesis pure fiction? Some
say the KJV version of the Bible is the only authoritative and correct
translation of the Bible. What about all the other translations? Are they
false translations? Has the Bible changed over the years of being copied?
Can you take the Bible literally? Can you trust Paul’s writings? He seemed to be prejudiced against
women. What about other religious books, like the Koran or the Book of Mormon? Aren’t they just as
significant as the Bible? The Bible seems to conflict with science. Which one is correct?

Truth
How do you know if something is true or not? Is truth absolute or relative? Aren’t science and faith in
conflict with one another? Is the only way to truth by way of the scientific method? Is there moral
truth? Can something be right in one situation and wrong in another?

Jesus
Who is the real Jesus? How do we know He really existed? Did He really claim to be God? How could
He be virgin born? Why did He have to die? If He was God, could He not just forgive us and not die on
the cross? What proof do you have for his resurrection? Did He really do all the miracles that the Bible
says He did? If He was such a good guy, why did the religious leaders of His day reject His teachings and
crucify Him?

World Issues
If God is good, why is there so much evil in the world? Did God create evil? Why can’t God put an end
to all the suffering and pain in the world? Aren’t most of the wars in history caused by people claiming
to be Christians? (ex., the Crusades)

World Views
What exactly is a world view? What makes up a world view? What are the major world views out
there? How can I know which world view is true? Why is my world view so important?

The Laws of Knowledge – Logic
Can a person be guided by logic and knowledge and find the right way to live? Are my rational decisions
always going to be correct decisions for me? Isn’t the right thing to do what makes me and others
happy? What are the consequences of living life rationally?

World Religions
What makes Christianity better than all the other religions in the world?
Are there not many ways to God? Don’t all religions lead to God? Don’t
you think everyone will eventually become like God? Why do Christian
fight among themselves? Why are there so many denominations in the
Christian churches? I see people to claim to be a Christian but live no
better than I do. How valid is their claims? Aren’t most Christians a bunch
of hypocrites?
