“You see, faith means the same thing as the word “trust”, or as I often like to say; “Faith is when someone is holding you over a ledge and you know in your heart that not only will they not let you fall, they’ll pull you up to safety”. You know that the person holding onto you exists. You have very powerful evidence that that person exists, but you still have faith in them. This is the real definition of the word “faith”.” GodFaithJesus ChristChristian ApologeticsEvidence Based Decision Making Book:Inference To The One True God: Why I Believe In Jesus Instead Of Other Gods Source: Inference To The One True God: Why I Believe In Jesus Instead Of Other Gods
“The significance of establishing those two facts (1) that Jesus claimed to be God and (2) that He rose from the dead is this; if Jesus said that he was God but he wasn’t, then he was either a lying heretic or else he was crazy. If that were the case, there’s no way God The Father would resurrect Jesus from the dead knowing that doing so would vindicate his blasphemous claims and lead many people astray. God would never raise a heretic and a blasphemer, but if God did raise Jesus from the dead, then God implicitly put his stamp of approval on everything Jesus said and did. If Jesus rose from the dead, then that means God The Father agreed with Jesus’ claims for which his enemies killed him as a blasphemer. If God The Father raised Jesus from the dead then that means He agrees with Jesus’ claims to be divine. If that’s the case, then whatever Jesus teaches carries a lot of weight.” GodEvidenceJesus ChristThe BibleChristian Apologetics Book:Inference To The One True God: Why I Believe In Jesus Instead Of Other Gods Source: Inference To The One True God: Why I Believe In Jesus Instead Of Other Gods
