Top Objections to Christianity- Part 3: Part 2
Alrighty, people. We’re going to try this again. I’m going to present an argument that is very common, and one that you would probably be confronted with at some point. So how do we answer this objection. Give it a try, leave a comment, nothing to fear:
I could not possibly believe in Christianity because there are so many hypocrites in the church. It seems like we’re always hearing of pastors and priests getting arrested for something and then so many of the Christians I know totally don’t live like Christians. There is really no difference between me and them. So why be a Christian?

Well, I’d tell this person that although the pastors and priests are people of “higher importance” in the church, they are still human, and because of this, they still make mistakes. It’s the same with friends. There may not be a difference between you and them, but there should be. God calls Christians to a higher standard, which is obviously not being met by these pastors, priests, and friends. The fact that these other Christians, if they really are Christians, are not living up to God’s standard in no way diminishes the fact that you are still a sinner in need of a savior, who, without the savior is destined for an eternity in Hell.
