There are many people out there who are very skeptical on christianity; the birth of Jesus, the death, the ressurection, and such. Below I'll list some questions you may be wondering about.
1/ How was a man born of a virgin?
-God sent an angel down to earth to tell the virgin Mary that she would be a son. He would be the son of God, and a man who would never sin. The reason God did this was to make him holy, but in a human form. Mary didn't lay with another man, and though she had Joseph as a boyfriend, he was not the father of Jesus, God was.
2. How is it that Jesus, the almighty one, just let himself get killed if he had all this power?
-Jesus knew what was going to happen to him. God sent his son to die on the cross to take away the sins of everyone who believes in him. Jesus shed his blood because of our trespasses, and if he had just killed off the roman soldiers, what would that have proved? It would have proved his stregnth, but not his love for us.
4. How could he come back from the dead three days later?
-Jesus is a holy man, and God's only son. He rose three days later to tell the world that he would come back. In this time he told people about revelation, and when he comes back he who take those who believed in him to heaven, and all evil would be demolished.
5. How can you love something you never see, touch, smell, or hear?
-Good question. It is a difficult thing to comprehend, for non-believers and believers sometimes. When you open your heart to God, there is a definite change. People still love those who have passed away, that they can no longer talk to. When you truly come to loving something and having faith these things don't matter.
6. Why do you talk to him?
-It's called prayer, and you pray for all sorts of things. Some pray to have good days, others to help the sickly in need. People even pray to God to help them want to love him, help want them to want to read the bible, and help want to want to go to church and live a life for God. A man named Chad Reeser said this in a lesson once. "If you had a wife that loved you more than anything and ignored her, didn't talk to her, and pretended like she wasn't there how would she feel? It's the same with God. He loves every one of us and just wants us to come to him." He desire a relationship with us, and by praying to him is how we can have one! He gave us free will, the power to do and think what we want.
7. What is some proof that he is real?
-The answer to that is pretty simple, there is none. Think about how you feel love, sadness, anger, suprises, and air. People try to think so detailed now that they forget about what's actually there in front of them. Look at the trees, oceans, hills, and people. It's amazing... what do you think could have possibly created all of this. The way our planets are alligned, the level of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our air. All the genetics and organs inside our bodies, and how they function. Do you believe that through evolution, rocks forming, creatures swimming and developing lungs, that all the beauty in the world was created? Do you think that humans got their intelligence from monkeys and fish? Where do you think people started to feel love from? God is love, and through love you can find God. He is the ultimate source of how a person should live their life. He wants the best for everyone, and his commandments aren't harmful, but protecting and useful to our lives. Having faith is believing in something, whether you can see it or not. It's a matter of trust and dedication.
