I notice that when I ask some of the difficult questions, Christians tend to get evasive, defensive or angry. Why is this?

I'm being civil, if you don't like me don't engage me, I'm going to be myself doc.
because they don't 1. study to show themselves approved, workmen that don't need to be ashamed and 2. they don't trust the indwelling HS to answer through them, by giving them the words to say as HE teaches them all things.I notice that when I ask some of the difficult questions, Christians tend to get evasive, defensive or angry.

Here's a tip, if everyone is saying you aren't being civil but you think you are...
...you're not being civil.
Chief critic ToddNotTodd, not everyone is, just the resident antagonist/atheist and the oversensitive anti-evangelicals, half hearted people who try to whitewash Jesus to get rid of the hard sayings, recreating him in their own washy washy image.
I know. You're just being your "sarcastic" self.
This is another example of what I was talking about earlier. To some believers, the very act of questioning itself raises suspicions about the sincerity of the questioner; suspicions sufficient enough to merit a comparison to Satan himself no less. When a Christian perceives that being questioned by a nonbeliever is akin to Eve being questioned by that "crafty beast," he might react defensively or angrily. Case in point.
I've had enough interaction with you to know what you believe, it's not a matter of suspicion or misunderstanding. In my theology, Lucifer also lost faith in the unseen Father, he also then set out to undermine the faith of others....but he was civil about it.
For the record, I have noticed several people make comments about your demeanor.
From your responses, I would expect you to keep denying the same though.
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with sincere questioning or even sincere doubts. I talk with sincere people all the time, I just think your mind is already made up based on many things you yourself have stated.
Yes, atheist, who get off mocking the faith of Christians all dressed up as "intellectual stimulation" don't like having their doctrines of death challenged, and a guy who is the spokesman for some people at his office.Have you not noticed that I'm not seeking your good opinion of me?

Unfortunately, the dialog inevitably crumbles because the Christian is expected to justify his/her position to the satisfaction of the questioner. If the questioner is an atheist, there will never be satisfaction. And, to support the claim, the questioner demands physical evidence which doesn't exist (or if it does exist, it's interpreted totally differently by the two parties).Obviously it's easier to just make claim, upon claim, upon claim, and never have to answer criticism or skepticism, than to have to answer a question and have to justify and support that claim.
