SCARED TO GET REJECTED
What are we more worried about?
What man thinks about us OR
What God thinks about us?? What is the worst thing that can happen to
us when we share our faith?
They can kill us and send us to Heaven! Is
that such a bad thing?

Ten Common ObjectionsAnd their Scriptural Response
-
8/14/2019 No Excuses 2008
33/46
We are all forgiven
Argument: Because Jesus died on a cross, we are allforgiven
Response: John 3:18, Luke 13:2-3 He who believes in Him is not condemned; he who does not
believe is condemned already, because he has not believed inthe name of the only begotten Son.
And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose that theseGalileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because theysuffered such things? I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you
shall all likewise perish. A Christian will no longer walk the ways of the world, because
s/he will be too busy living for Jesus. The Cross is not a licenseto sin (1 John 2:1-6, Romans 6:1-4)

Who made God?
Argument: If God made everything, then
something had to have made Him
Response: Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or
ever you formed the earth and the world, even
from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

A perfect GodAngry?
Argument: How can a perfect God be
angry?
Response: Nahum 1, Job 38-39 God has anger not as humans do
(ungoverned passion, unbridled emotion), but
as a perfect, holy, righteous anger at sin and
unrighteousness.

Hell
Argument: My God would never create a
place like Hell
Response: Matt 18:9 And if your eye offend you, pluck it out, and
cast it from you: it is better for you to enter
into life with one eye, rather than having two
eyes to be cast into Hell-fire.
It is the sin of idolatry, creating a god to suit
yourself. (Exodus 20)
-

Suffering
Argument: If God is so good, why doesHe allow suffering?
Response: Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into
the world and death by sin, and so deathpassed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
Suffering is the very reason we need to flee toGod. It is the testimony that mankind hasfallen and thus we have a sinful world andneed a Savior.

Justification of self
Argument: God made me this way. How
can I be responsible for that?
Response: 1 Tim 1:8-10 The Law of God reveals our unrighteousness.
It shows that we are sinful to begin with. It is
our nature. The Law points out that we sin
with the knowledge that it is wrong and thus,we are responsible for our own actions.

Intolerance
Argument: Arent you being a little
intolerant saying that Jesus is the only
way?
Response: John 14:6
Jesus said to him, I am the way and the
Truth and the Life; no man comes to the
Father, but by me.
You are not intolerant, God is. The Bible is
the standard.

Thou shalt not judge
Argument: You arent supposed to judgeothers
Response: John 8:10-11
When Jesus had lifted Himself up and saw none butthe woman, he said to her, Woman, where are youraccusers? Has no man condemned you? She said,No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do Icondemn you: go and sin no more.
The Christian is not condemning anyone. TheChristian is simply warning of the wrath to come andthe judgment bar of a Holy God. If the woman did notrepent, she would perish.

An eye for an eye
Argument: The Bible teaches revenge
Response: Matt 5:38-39
You have heard it said, An eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth: But I say to you, that you resist not evil:but whosever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn
to him your other also.
The statement, eye for an eye was a guideline for
civil law, set up in the Torah. If someone committedmurder, the Law required the authorities to put that
person to death.
