Does religion hurt more than it helps?
Welcome to the WEPC Discipleship Podcast. These next 3 episodes are three lessons that Pastor Joe Brown gave in 2018 on common objections to Christianity.
"Christians are no better than anyone else. In fact, the Christians I know are WORSE than the nonreligious people I know. Even more!... so many horrifying things have happened in the name of religion. It would be better off to have no religion at all!"
The Moral Argument for the Existence of God:
Premise 1: If God does not exist, objective moral values and duties do not exist.
Premise 2: Objective moral values and duties do exist.
Conclusion: Therefore, God exists.
Luke 11:39-44 (ESV)
39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.
42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”
