Why people don't believe in Jesus - Part 1
As Christmas is coming, I would like to share something that God had place in my heart for some time. Christmas is often an annual holiday celebrated by all walks of life around the world. Christmas festivities often combine the commemoration of Jesus' birth with various secular customs, many of which have been influenced by earlier winter festivals. The date of the celebration is traditional and in most places around the world, Christmas Day is celebrated on December 25. Christmas Eve is the preceding day, December 24. But the date is not considered to be Jesus actual date of birth. The bible did not give us the actual date. My view is that let not behave in a legalistic way. 25th December is Jesus’ birthday. Amen.
Often Christmas people all around the world will buy gifts to exchange with one another. It is a season of celebrating and having fun. Christmas to me is indeed a time of love with one another but most importantly is to remember the significant of the birth of Jesus. During Christmas, people heart will normally be more open. So it is a time of harvest for souls. To many people Christmas is just holiday a time of play and do not care what is the meaning behind Christmas.
So why people don’t believe in Jesus?
Through out all my study and reading about religion and God, I discover that only Christianity is the 1 and only true faith. I know this sentence is very offending to many people especially Muslim friends. But there is nothing apart from the true. All religion and their gods are good but guys lets be real! There can be only 1 God who created this earth and the entire universe.... lol lets dun get into Apologetic that is another topic. I am not here to condemn any religion but to blog how I feel.
Jesus came from Nazareth a town which is poor and small compare to many big town which is rich. During that time when Jesus was in ministry, there is people which was His follower but still many people does not believe in Him. They worship other god. This happen through the history of mankind. People always think that unless you came from a rich family or big cities, they will not believe in you. If a poor man came to tell you the truth and a rich man tell you a lie which one will you believe? I think the answer is simple.
Most evolution scientist or world renowned professors don't believe in Jesus. To many people, science is the answer for everything. From what I know this people often challenge the bible and Christianity about the creation. I never hear this people challenge and question with other major religion like "B", "H", "T" etc. This show sonething. Even the scientist don't believe in other religion except Christianity. Honestly you can check for yourself, only the bible gave a most detail about the start and end of this world. I like what Lee Strobel says "My road to Atheism was paved by science.... but ironically, so was my later journey to God." It is so true just like myself.
2 kinds of people in this world that don’t believe in Jesus.
- Agnostic – Free thinkers
- Atheist – Strongly believe God does not exist
Agnostic people just need a little bit of encouragement and love for them to accept Jesus. As for Atheist, it need time. Which one are you belong to? lol
Why they don’t believe in Jesus (Why people are atheist)
1. Pride
2. Bitterness
3. Moral impurity
4. Ignorance
To be continue.....
