Introduction
  • “Seven Problems in Christianity that Killed My Faith” by Joe Omundson
  • John 3:1-8 – Nicodemus was willing to listen!
  • There’s a chance that I might be confused.
  • Expecting miraculous guidance/experience
    • “Guidance of the Holy Spirit”
      • If the Holy Spirit guides us directly, why is there so much disagreement between churches?
      • John 16:13; 13:1 – Jesus was speaking to the twelve apostles here, not to everyone!
      • II Peter 3:13-16 – It’s possible to distort scripture!
      • “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
        • James 4:8
        • Revelation 2:13; I John 4:15; John 15:5 – Examples of metaphorical language.
        • Calvinism
          • “Bondage to sin”
            • People are powerless to do anything but sin, according to Calvinism.
            • “All real Christians remain lifelong Christians.”
              • Ezekiel 18:20, 26 – Men can change their ways.
              • James 5:19-20 – It’s possible for Christians to leave the faith.
              • Because Calvinism is false, it constantly conflicts with reality.
              • Issues with God’s justice
                • “The corruption of humanity”
                • “Hell”
                • Prayer
                  • “God’s answers to prayer”
                    • I John 5:14
                    • We cannot try to use prayer as a proof for our faith.
                    • False doctrines kill faith
                      • Matthew 23:15
                      • II Timothy 1:13
                      • So, let’s cling to God’s truth!
