Considering answers to those faith-questions we all ask…
Category: APOLOGETICS
If my title caught your attention it's either because you think you're a prophet, or more likely because you're brave enough to question the veracity of the modern day "prophet of God" who seems to be around almost every church corner. I've known enough of them to know what I'm talking about: some well-meaning and helpful; some wanna-be Peters and Pauls, convinced that they are the power of God on the earth.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of those indispensable doctrines for anyone claiming to follow him. Paul made this plain in his first letter to the Corinthians. He had seen the risen Christ, and he stressed that without the resurrection the Christian faith and the Christian gospel is empty and powerless. Without it we are dead in our sins, and without it we are not outworking the will of God as we like to think, but just playing at being good people before our lives end and we are extinguished forever.
The evidence to satisfy anyone with a genuine will to know God through Jesus Christ is available. At least, there's enough to see incredible value in considering him very seriously indeed. Why turn up your nose at the prospect of eternal life and a relationship with the creator of all things? What do you have to lose? The story of Jesus' life is enough for the open heart and mind, and many millions - perhaps billions - have stepped over that line throughout history because of it.
One of those little corners where materialists insist they've chased away the notion of God - at least, the Biblical God - is quantum physics. Oddly, some secular scientists, though not all by any means, having dispensed with God are replacing him with their own faith or metaphysical reasoning, so that we're really no better off in terms of seeing the universe in a purely secular way.
We often determine the character of God by the way we're treated by others, and particularly by those who profess faith - including ministers. Our view of God can be a reflection of our experience with people, so that our entire lives and even our eternal destiny is shaped by what others do or say. This is a dangerous and deceptive trait in us.
