Let's assume you're a sceptical person, uncommitted, but honest and open-minded. Where would you like to start? Have a look at the following list of statements, and click on the ones you agree with and then click on any topic you like listed that interests and/or applies you and read a little bit about it.
I can't accept the Bible's view of God
I don't believe what Christians claim about Jesus
I'm not convinced the Bible is trustworthy
I don't like what I've seen of the church
I don't believe in being 'converted'
I find the Christian view of life, death, heaven and hell unsatisfactory
Christianity doesn't really make sense of the way the world is
Being a Christian doesn't seem like a possible life for me
Note : This is obviously a big section, so I have only put 5 mini-topics in each category. If you'd like to have any other topics covered, just email me, and I will try and get some answers to you (though I refuse to say I know everything and I refuse to say there are answers to everything ...but...) through more reading, and asking other mature Christians... I'll try to get to respond. The only satisfactory answer I ever had was through a relationship of my own.
