After teaching this at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills in 2023, Pastor Jack Hibbs told his Facebook followers that this teaching by Charlie Campbell was “one of the most encouraging, biblically accurate, and evangelistic you’ll hear all wrapped up in the one service.”
On Sunday, February 23, Mr. Campbell will give a two-part presentation, Concise Answers to Atheists’ Objections.
9 AM – Part 1, Concise Answers to Atheists’ Objections. Mr. Cambell opens up Jude 1:3 (“contend earnestly for the faith”) and then offers concise 2–5 minute answers to a variety of objections that atheists bring up about God and the Bible:
• “The Bible condones slavery!”
• “The God of the Old Testament commanded genocide, the wiping out of the Canaanite people in the Book of Joshua.”
• “Surely God doesn’t exist. If He did, He’d appear to us in a public setting and prove it to the world.”
• “The universe is so vast! It’s foolish to think a god built a universe billions of light years across just to have a personal relationship with you.”
• “The Bible was written by men! It’s not trustworthy.”
• “After the Roman Emperor Constantine became a Christian in AD 312, the Roman Empire took control of the Bible and tampered with its contents to better control the people.”
• “The New Testament authors stole the whole idea for Jesus’s virgin birth and resurrection from ancient religions that were around prior to Christianity.”
• “Keep the Bible out of people’s bedrooms. What two consenting adults do is their business. They have the right to do whatever they’d like to do.”
• “Why do Christians persist in judging, when Jesus said not to judge?”
• “The Bible is oppressive and harmful to women!”
• “Religions, Christianity included, are responsible for most of the world’s wars, suffering, and atrocities!”
• “Evolution is a proven fact.”
11 AM – Part 2 – Concise Answers to Atheists’ Objections and Questions
Mr. Cambell begins with 1 Peter 3:15 and then offers concise 2–5 minute answers to a variety of objections that atheists bring up about God and the Bible:
• “You think Christianity is true because you live in the West and were brought up in the Christian faith. If you had been born in India, you’d be a Hindu!”
• “Well, you and I are both atheists. You don’t believe in Zeus or Thor, and neither do I. I just take it one deity further. I don’t believe in the god of the Bible, either.”
• “Belief in God is a crutch! Christians believe in God because they’re weak and afraid of facing life and death on their own.”
• “I’ll stick with the science. Most scientists are atheists. Science and belief in God are clearly incompatible.”
• “If God exists, why won’t He just heal an amputee by restoring his limb? Then we would all know He exists.”
• “There is no mention of dinosaurs in the Bible. That seems to put the Bible at odds with what we know about the past.”
• “It’s ridiculous to think that all the races with their different skin colors, came from Noah’s family!”
• “Churches are full of hypocrites.”
• “Why are Christians opposed to transgender people?”
• “I didn’t have any choice over whether to be born. It’s not fair that God would create me and then condemn me for breaking rules I had no say over.”
• “All religions basically teach the same thing. If a person is sincere, it’s all going to be okay in the end.”
• “What you Christians believe totally excludes all the other religions. That’s what I don’t like about you Christians; you think you’re the only ones who are right.”
• “It’s outrageous to think God would only save people who have a relationship with Jesus!”
