Why should anyone believe a fairy tale about a man in the sky?

The core of Christian belief is not a "man in the sky" myth, but a commitment based on three pillars: Historical evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:3–8), Philosophical Arguments (Cosmological and Moral) that reason toward a necessary Creator, and the Existential Fulfillment of human need for purpose, forgiveness, and hope.

Are We Living in a Self-Centred Society?

The Bible describes the fallen nature of humanity as fundamentally self-centered (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Modern society, often called narcissistic or individualistic, is simply the cultural manifestation of this innate sin. Christians are called to counter this by embracing radical self-denial (Luke 9:23) and prioritizing love for God and neighbor over personal wants. The Gospel transforms a life centered on self into a life centered on Christ and service.

Should a Christian Listen to Rap Music?

The Bible does not forbid rap music as a style. The ethical decision for a Christian hinges on the lyrics and content, not the beat. Christians should apply Philippians 4:8, choosing music that is "pure and lovely," and avoiding content that promotes immorality or vulgarity. Christian Hip-Hop (CHH) offers a powerful, biblically-focused alternative.

Can a Christian Use In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)?

The Christian view on IVF is divided. The Catholic Church condemns it for separating procreation from the marital act and destroying human embryos. Most Protestants conditionally accept it, provided the procedure uses the gametes of the married couple and includes a plan to protect the Sanctity of Life by minimizing the creation and destruction of excess embryos.

Does Life Begin at Conception?

The biblical view strongly affirms that human life, with full personhood and unique identity, begins at conception (Psalm 139:13-16). Scripture describes the unborn child as being known, formed, and knit together by God in the womb, reflecting the Imago Dei (image of God) from its earliest stages. This understanding forms the foundation of the Christian ethical view regarding the sanctity of life.

Do even atheists have faith?

Every worldview, including atheism and naturalism, begins with an unprovable premise (a form of faith) about ultimate reality, whether it's the non-existence of an afterlife or the dominance of natural law. Christian Faith is distinguished because its object is the person of Jesus Christ and the assurance of His Resurrection, making it a relational trust that transcends philosophical debate.

What does the Bible say about Transgenderism and Identity?

The Bible teaches that God created humanity as two complementary sexes: “male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Traditional Christian thought views gender identity as inextricably linked to biological sex, established by God. The internal conflict of gender dysphoria is acknowledged as part of the Fall’s corruption (Romans 7:22-23), and the call for the Christian is to find ultimate identity and wholeness in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Is it okay for Christians to watch R-rated movies or violent media?

The Bible offers no direct rule on R-rated movies, but calls for discretion and stewardship of the mind (Philippians 4:8). The decision rests on personal conscience (Romans 14:5), with the rule that one must not cause a weaker believer to stumble (Romans 14:21). The core consideration is whether the content aids or hinders a pursuit of holiness.

Can a Person Be Born Gay?

The Bible defines marriage exclusively as the union of a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24). Same-sex attraction is viewed in traditional theology as a real consequence of the Fall (Romans 8:22), requiring repentance and a call to holiness, which for all unmarried Christians (including those who are gay) means a life of celibacy in service to Christ (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Does the Bible Talk About Climate Change?

The Bible does not mention climate change by name, but it lays a clear foundation for Creation Care. Christians are called to be stewards, not owners, of the earth (Genesis 2:15; Psalm 24:1). Protecting the planet is an act of worship and justice, especially for the poor, and a reflection of God’s own love for all His creation (Revelation 11:18; Romans 8:22).

What is the Christian view of Aliens or Extraterrestrial Life?

The Christian view on aliens is non-dogmatic. The Bible is silent, but most theologians agree the existence of extraterrestrial life is possible due to God's boundless creative power (Psalm 19:1). The main challenge is reconciling ETL with the unique, once-for-all human Incarnation and Atonement of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:12).
