HOLY SPIRIT:
The only place in the Bible where the Paraclete was called the Holy Spirit
is in John 14:26 "But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance
all that I have said to you". What has the Holy Spirit brought or taught for
the last 2000 years?

26.Christians say that the Paraclete means the Holy Spirit (John 14;26).
Jesus said in John 16:7-8 "If I do not go away the Paraclete will not come
to you". This could not mean the Holy spirit, since the Holy spirit was said
to have been there before Jesus was even born as in Luke 1:41 "Elizabeth was
filled with the Holy Spirit". Here, the Holy spirit was also present during
Jesus life time. So how could this fit with the condition that Jesus must go
away so that the Holy spirit will come?
27.In John 16:7-8, it says: "But if go, I will send him to you. And when he
comes, he will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of
Judgment". What do "he" and "him" refer here? Don’t they refer to a man?
28.Does the Holy Spirit talk to good Christians and bad Christians as well?
Is the Holy spirit with them all the time or just at certain times? When
does it start visiting a person who wants to become a Christian?
29.How can you as a Christian tell if the Holy Spirit is inside another
Christian? How come many Christians fooled people by claiming that the Holy
spirit was inside them only to be converted to another religion later on ?
30.Does the Holy Spirit dictate what Christians should do without choice or
freedom at all or does it only guide them and they have the freedom to
follow or not ?
31.If the Holy Spirit dictates what Christian should do, why do Christians
commit sins and make mistakes ? How can you explain the conversion to other
religions and atheism of many Christians? Are they told to do that by the
Holy Spirit?
32.If the Holy Spirit guides Christians only, and they are free to do what
they want, then how do we know that the writers of the Gospels didn’t make
mistakes in writing them?
33.If Christians believe that the Holy Spirit comes and talks to them
everyday, why don’t they ask the Holy Spirit about which version of the
Bible to follow since there are too many versions floating around?

MISSION OF JESUS:
Without borrowing from other religions and systems, can Christianity
provide people with a complete way of life? Since Christianity is limited to
spiritual life and does not provide law, how can a society decide which laws
are right or wrong?
34.Why do the Christians say that Jesus came with a universal mission when
he said that he was sent to the Jews only? He said to the Canaanite woman
who asked him to heal her daughter from demon-possession: "I was sent ONLY
to the lost sheep of Israel" and also said: "It is not right to take the
children’s bread and toss it to their dogs", Matthew 15:21-28.

RESSURECTION:
If you read Matthew (28:1-10), Mark (16:1-20), Luke (24:1-12), and John (20:
1-18), you will find contradicting stories. They all agreed that the tomb
was guarded for three days. However, they reported the discovery of the
empty tomb differently.
Matthew (28) and John (20) reported that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
were the first to discover the tomb.
Mark (16) reports that Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome
were the first to discover the empty tomb.
Mark (28) reports that there was an earthquake that removed the rock from
over the tomb. He says that an angel caused it. The other gospels do not
mention of an earthquake.
Matthew and Mark say that only ONE man in white clothes was sitting on the
tomb when the woman arrived, and that he was an angel.
Luke says that TWO men in white clothes, who were angels, were sitting.
Johns says that the two women did not meet anybody the first time they came
to the tomb, but when they returned, they saw TWO people, ONE was an ANGEL,
and the other was JESUS.
Matthew reports that when the guards reported this to the chief priest, the
chief priest paid them a large sum of money, telling them: "You have to say
that his disciples came at night and stole his body." He claims that the
soldiers took money and spread the story around and since then, the story
had been circulating among the Jews until today (according to Matthew). The
other gospels do not report of any such thing.
35. Which narration now is more authentic?
36.Why is the appearance of Jesus after the crucifixion taken as a proof of
his resurrection when there is an explanation that he was not dead because
someone else was crucified in his place when God saved Him?
37.How did Matthew know of the claimed agreement between the soldiers and
the chief priest? Can’t someone say that someone paid the women a large sum
of money and told them to spread the word around that Jesus rose from the
dead, with the same authenticity as that of the story of Matthew?
38.Why did they believe that man in the white clothes? Why did they believe
he was an angel? John’s narration is too strange, since he says that Mary
did not recognize Jesus (one of the two) while talking to him, and she only
recognized him when he called her by her name.
39.How does an empty tomb prove that Jesus was crucified ? Isn’t it that God
is capable of removing another man from the tomb, and of resurrecting him
too?
40.The Gospels are believed to be the verbatim words of God, they are
supposed to be dictated by the Holy Spirit to the Disciples who wrote them.
If the source were the same, why shouldn’t they correspond with each other
in reporting such an important event?
41.How could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be considered eyewitnesses of
resurrection when the Bible implies that nobody at all saw Jesus coming out
of the tomb?

BIBLE:
If the Christians consider the Old Testament as God’s Word, why did they
cancel the parts of the Old Testament that dealt with punishment (example:
the punishment for adultery)?
42.Why doesn’t Mark 16:9-20 exist in as many versions of the Bible while it
exists as a footnote or between brackets in some other versions? Is a
footnote in the Bible still considered as God’s word, especially when it
addresses an important feature like the Ascension?
43.Why does the Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible
has only 66? With both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one
should be believed and why?
44.Where do those new translations of the Bible keep coming from when the
original Bible is not even available ? The Greek manuscripts which are
translations themselves are not even similar with each other.
45.How can you take two gospels from writers who never met Jesus, like Mark
and Luke?
46.Why is half of the New Testament written by a man who never even met
Jesus in his lifetime? PAUL claimed with no proof that he had met Jesus
while on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. PAUL was the main enemy of
Christianity. Isn’t that reason enough to question the authenticity of what
he wrote? Why do the Christians call those books of the Old Testament "God’s
Word" when the revisors of the RSV Bible say that some of the authors are
UNKNOWN? They say that the author of SAMUEL is "UNKNOWN" and that of
CHRONICLES is "UNKOWN, PROBABLY COLLECTED AND EDITED BY EZRA"!
