“Evil did not catch God by surprise. He had a rescue plan, and He's still in the process of working out His plan.” Quote by Greg Koukl
“Our reasons for believing Jesus existed and also that He was who He claimed to be - the God who came down - are the same reasons for believing any fact of history: the documentation is substantial and it passes all the tests of historical reliability. Scholars - both liberal and conservative - overwhelming agree that Jesus of Nazareth was a man of history and the Gospels, on the main, tell His story accurately.” MenBelieveReasonFactsStoriesJesusTestsAgreeHistoricalConservativeOverwhelmingScholarReliabilityDocumentationNazareth Author:Greg Koukl
“Why so many mentions regarding Jesus from such a wide variety of sources (Pliny, Tacitus, Lucian, Josephus, to name a few)? Because Jesus of Nazareth was a man of history, who made a profound impact on history. There's no good reason to doubt that Jesus existed, or to think the real Jesus was completely different from the one depicted in the Story.” ThinkingMenMadeDifferentRealReasonStoriesJesusNamesDoubtSourceImpactProfoundWideVarietyNazareth Author:Greg Koukl
“Most Christians who've been around for a while have their Story in bits and pieces, but have never seen how powerful it really is when assembled as a whole. I want them to see how well it fits together and how it offers tremendous explanatory power regarding the world as we actually find it. I want them to see how it resolves the problem of evil, and why God's solution - the God/man Jesus - is the only solution.” MenWorldWantWellsWholeStoriesProblemChristianTogetherEvilJesusBitsPowerfulPiecesFitOffersSolutionsResolveBits And PiecesProblem Of Evil Author:Greg Koukl
“Christianity is actually "true Truth," as Francis Schaeffer used to put it. God really does exist, Heaven actually is real (along with Hell), Jesus really did live and He did the things the historical records - the Gospels - say He did, the resurrection of Christ really happened, and there really is hope each of us can count on for "the kind of perfect world our hearts have always longed for."” WorldHeartKindDoeRealUsedJesusHeavenChristPerfectChristianityHellRecordsHappenedHistoricalResurrectionA Perfect World Author:Greg Koukl
