Tag: Christian Apologetics
Has anyone not been asked the following rhetorical question: "How do you know your God is the right one?" In my experience this question - posed more as an accusation - is directed at Christians and never Muslims or Hindus or people of other faiths. They are considered to be sincerely seeking while we followers of Christ are not.
Who was, and who is, Jesus Christ? You can make him what you want him to be, or you can believe what the Bible says about him. Contrary to many dismissive claims, Scripture is clear about his nature and his personhood. Jesus told his disciples that what we now call the Old Testament speaks of him throughout - even before he had been born. I here outline some of that evidence for those of you who are truly interested.
What makes us struggle against the problems and the darkness of life? It's the fact that we were not initially created to live in a fallen, fractured, hostile world. However, here we are living in that very place, like it or not.
The works done by Jesus Christ during his life are enough evidence for the conviction that he was and is the Son of God. That is, God in flesh. No man has done or does legitimate and incredible miracles as he did in plain sight of all, and convincing enough to draw thousands without any advertising or television specials. No man spoke words such as he spoke or such profound truths, and for now we will ignore the empty claims of some in our time that Christianity "copied" words and claims from past spiritual giants.
I was reading this morning about a knife attack in Ireland in which the alleged perpetrator was yelling that now well-known phrase which claims that a certain god is great - so great it seems, that he wants to take the world by violence if necessary. Thankfully the police officer being attacked had a companion who managed to subdue the man.
