We have just finished a four week series of events called "Answers on the Green". So often people hold the notion that Christians follow a blind faith that doesn't provide answers. Ironically, they usually arrive at this view not because they have researched the answers and or asked questions of thoughtful Christians. Rather they have heard the question posed and not being able to answer it themselves, assume there is no valid answer. Others claim that the Christian just uses circular reasoning and never adequately give intelligible answers. It then becomes easy to dismiss Christianity because an inaccurate stereotype has been applied to it.

This stereotype is most unfortunate for there are some extremely compelling rebuttals for many of the questions posed to Christians. We chose to hold these open air meetings to public allow anyone who had asked some of these questions to take some time to listen to a biblical Christian response. This does not imply that everyone will be satisfied with every answer, but hopefully it will help those asking the questions to see that though they may have trouble giving ascent to the answers given, they may acknowledge that the Christian faith isn't simply a bunch of unthoughtful simpletons who blindly follow a piper. But rather the Christian faith is for thinking people and that the answers given do contain logic and reasonableness. In our meetings we tackled four of the questions that are commonly asked of Christians. Those questions were:

1. Can there be only one true religion? (mp3)
2. How can a good God allow suffering? (mp3)
3. How can a loving God send people to hell? (mp3)
4. Doesn't science disprove the Bible? (mp3)

Of course, these were only four of the questions that are often asked. There are others, however in each case the Bible gives sufficient answers for them.

As those who do not have a blind faith but rather a faith that is both informed and rational, we desire as best as we can, to give answers to your questions as the Bible says in 1 Peter 3:15. If you have a genuine question, please contact us and we will do our best to give an answer.
