Christianity: The Bible Flashcards
Why do people believe in the Bible?🔴
People believe in the Bible because…
‘I am really sick in hospital but reading the Bible encourages me and gives me hope.’
‘When I’m angry or depressed, reading the Bible calms me down.’
‘ I like to sit quietly in church and listen to the Bible being read. I can focus on God in these precious moments.’
‘Teachings like “Love your neighbour” inspire me to help those around me and not just think of myself’
‘I enjoy reading my Bible with my friends, and we can share our problems with each other and find hope in God’s Word.’
‘“The Word if God is living and active, sharper than a double edged sword.”’
‘Jesus’ teaching about forgiveness, his miracles and live for others inspires me to line a better life.’
‘I received my first Bible when I was twelve years old. I still use it now and again to remind myself of God’s love for me.’
Why do people not believe in the Bible?🔴
Science tells us everything we need to know about the world. The Bible cannot be trusted.
I can sort out my own problems by myself. I don’t need the Bible to help me. It’s all common sense anyway.
How can I trust a book that was written thousands of years ago?
I’ve read the Bible and its word do nothing for me. I don’t feel anything when I read it.
The Bible was written by humans and not God. They made it up so they could comfort themselves with lies.
I remember sitting in church listening to someone reading that book telling me what to do. Waste of time!
The creation story doesn’t make any sense. The stories in the bible just cannot be true.
I don’t care if the bible says I will be judged one day. I don’t believe God exists so it means nothing to me.
