Atheists - I Have A Challenge For You


Listen Later

Atheists, I am truly trying to come to you respectfully and with humility. I have no desire to call you out or to get into a shouting match in the comments. I do, however, have a challenge for you:

So often Christians and Atheists spend a lot of time debating the plausibility of the resurrection of Jesus. Let's take one step back from that and discuss the Christian claim that Jesus lived a sinless life.

This is a HUGE claim. Not only is it impossible for a human, by their own strength, to live a morally perfect life, but if Jesus DIDN'T accomplish this, He couldn't be the perfect sacrifice for our sins we claim Him to be.

Atheists, if you can find one instance in Scripture of Jesus transgressing the Law, Christians will either HAVE to admit that Jesus sinned OR that the Bible lied. The stakes are massive.

I realize, most of you won't take this challenge seriously because you don't trust the Bible to tell an accurate account that didn't make Jesus seem like a shining star - but this isn't the precedent the Bible has set for itself as a well attested to, historically accurate collection of books from a people with a culture that didn't seem to shy away from showcasing the weaknesses of its' leaders.

Take a genuine look at the first five books of the Bible. Comb through them to try and understand the requirements of the Law. Next, familiarize yourself with the life of Jesus through the Gospel accounts. If you give these works a fair look you will, at the very least, gain immense credibility in the eyes of your believing friends. Possibly you won't find anything new and all you'll be out is your time - but there's also a possibility that spending THAT much time in the Word of God might leave you changed from when you started.
