in Christianity, asking question has no limit, one can ask until he was fully convinced. Jesus has skeptic "Thomas" he ask question until he was fully convinced.
go read old testament

Why did Muhammad become angry at
those who asked him questions?
Why were people warned by Allah not
to ask questions
they can ask but not too much,don't u know the meaning of too much

How is that in Islam, questioning can
lead to losing one’s faith?
Does not this prove that even the right
answers can lead to losing one’s faith in
Islam?
cann't this question leads to lost one faith in xtianty is jesus an african or isreali?or why jesus didn't born

Hebrews 6:1-2Revised Standard Version (RSV)

6 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 with instruction[a] about ablutions, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

Ezekiel 25:6-7Revised Standard Version (RSV)

6 For thus says the Lord God: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the malice within you against the land of Israel, 7 therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand against you, and will hand you over as spoil to the nations; and I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Can marry one of his sister,the bible say adam firstborn was Cain but never say the second born was abel, the bible only say the second SON was abel meaning there are girl in between Cain and abel. After Cain killed abel eve gave birth to seth when adam was 130 years,one of there sister must have gone to the east. Cain marry his sister, at that time the law of inces't has not been giving so it was not a theological problems,. They were in a state of perfection there genetic mutations has no defects.

[quote author=tola9ja post=30798334][/quote]I believe quran has block your sense of reason. Jesus did not preach religion,he only reconciled us with God the father,Paul on the other hand was a sinner when Jesus called him,
9:1 And Saul, yet breathing
out threatenings and
slaughter against the
disciples of the Lord, went
unto the high priest, 9:2 And
desired of him letters to
Damascus to the synagogues,
that if he found any of this
way, whether they were men
or women, he might bring
them bound unto Jerusalem.
9:3 And as he journeyed, he
came near Damascus: and
suddenly there shined round
about him a light from
heaven: 9:4 And he fell to
the earth, and heard a voice
saying unto him, Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou me?
9:5 And he said, Who art
thou, Lord?
And the Lord said, I am Jesus
whom thou persecutest: it is
hard for thee to kick against
the pricks.
9:6 And he trembling and
astonished said, Lord, what
wilt thou have me to do?
And the Lord said unto him,
Arise, and go into the city,
and it shall be told thee what
thou must do.
9:7 And the men which
journeyed with him stood
speechless, hearing a voice,
but seeing no man. 9:8 And
Saul arose from the earth;
and when his eyes were
opened, he saw no man: but
they led him by the hand,
and brought him into
Damascus. 9:9 And he was
three days without sight, and
neither did eat nor
drink." (Acts 9:1-8 KJV)
Paul was then introduced to the
Church of God through Ananias
The Disciple.
My question still stand,if Paul found Christianity, what is the religion of annanias who anoint Paul?can s follower anoint the founder?

Ezekiel was prophecies against the idol nation, the verse you quoted was not talking about the children of isreal.

chapter and verse
very good,we are done with the clapping of hands stuff.

It was the people in antioch that called the disciples Christian.



◄ Acts 11:26 ►
and when he found him, he brought him
to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas
and Saul met with the church and taught
great numbers of people. The disciples
were called Christians first at Antioch.

It was the people at anthioch that called them christians ,why ? Because the behave like christ infacte some translations called it christ-like.

Re: The Christian Faith Is Based Upon Evidence by malvisguy212: 11:44pm On Aug 08, 2015
malvisguy212:
Sometimes Christians have a mistaken
definition of "faith". Because faith is
sometimes described as believing in
things that cannot be seen, Christians
often think of faith as an act of believing
in things that have no evidential basis. In essence, some Christians believe that "true faith" is believing in something in spite of the evidence or believing in something when there is no evidence to support the belief in the first place!
BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF FAITH;
But this is not the Biblical definition of
faith. While it is true that God is a Spirit
and cannot be seen, it is not true that
there is no evidence to support the
existence of the unseen God. While we
may not see anyone throw a rock in a
pond, we may indeed see the ripples
that the rock created on the surface of
the water and come to the belief that
someone threw a rock into the pond on
the basis of this evidence.

The Christian life is more than a life of
blind trust. It is a life of rational
examination that challenges each of us
to evaluate the evidence, form a
conclusion and then share that
conclusion with the world around us.
Let’s examine the Biblical model of
evidential faith:
CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO USE THEIR MIND>>>>"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment." ( Matthew 22:37-38)

When we examine our world and the
evidence for the existence of God, we are worshipping God with our mind.it's either we love God with our mind or reject him, it's a choice.

CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO UNDERSTAND EVIDENCE>>>>Acts 17:31
31 because He has fixed a day in which
He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished PROOF
to all men by raising Him from the
dead.”
The Greek word used for "proof" in Acts
17:31 is "pistis". The word is derived
from "peitho" which is a Greek verb that
means "to convince by argument" that
something is either true or false.

CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO EXAMINE THEIR BELIEF>>>>1 Thessalonians
5:19-21
Do not quench the Spirit; do not
despise prophetic utterances. But
EXAMINE everything carefully; hold fast
to that which is good…
God wants us to know what we believe
and why we believe it. We’re not called to numbly trust everything that might be taught in our world today.Skepticism is important to the Christian
faith; skepticism causes us to examine
what we believe and search for the
evidence that confirms our beliefs. God
honors this kind of skepticism because
He knows that it leads to a deeper faith
in Him. There is a place for skepticism in the life of the Christian because it causes us to "examine the Scriptures daily".

CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO BE CONVINCED OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE>>>>2 Timothy 3:14
14 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become CONVINCED of, knowing from whom you have learned them.
Conviction is the result of certainty, and
certainty is the result of evidential
confidence. We are called to be
convinced by mastering the evidence
that supports what we believe. The
Christians life is not one of "wishful
thinking" or "hope in the unreasonable". It is a life of certainty, grounded in the evidence.

CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO BE CASE MAKER>>>>1 Peter 3:15
15 but sanctify Christ as Lord in your
hearts, always being ready to make a
defense to everyone who asks you to
give an account for the hope that is in
you, yet with gentleness and reverence;

Once we have examined the evidence
and have come to the conclusion that
Christianity is true, we are called to be
ready to make a strong defense for what
we believe.

IN CONCLUSION;
Christians can be "case makers" precisely because the Christian faith is an evidential faith. When we, as Christians, argue for the truth of the Christian Worldview, we are not sharing an opinion. There either is a God, or there is not. Jesus is that God, or He is not.
Salvation comes through Christ alone (as Jesus Himself maintained), or it does not. This is not a matter of opinion, personal preference or wishful thinking. The Christian faith is grounded in evidence that can be assessed and evaluated. The Christian faith is an evidential faith.
