Don’t you think saying, “There is no God” like it is fact is a little arrogant? Humanity as a whole is learning new things every day. It wasn’t long ago when people said it was impossible to travel faster than the speed of sound. Now the accepted theory is that it is impossible to travel faster than light, but theoretical mathematics shows that it is possible to “Fold” space and time where it may be possible to travel huge distances almost incautiously. I am a Christian but I am not going to state that “There is a God” as fact, because how can we really know, that is what faith is all about.
What I do have is a historical figure, Yeshua who lived and preached in Israel 2000 years ago. He preached a message of love and nonviolence, forgiveness, and loving your neighbor. We know he was arrested by the Romans and crucified for challenging the Jewish religious authorities. I have an empty tomb, at least 14 eyewitness accounts of this man appearing to them after he was dead and buried. I have 11 people who were so changed by this mans life and death that they went out and preached this controversial new doctrine until it got them all killed. All 11 disciples died for their beliefs and not one recanted their beliefs even though it cost them their life. If you had followed a man you thought was a prophet around for a few years and he made all types of claims as to his divinity and he didn’t fulfill them do you really think you would make up a story, go out and preach this myth until it got you killed? Would you die for a lie? I have not met anyone who would have you? Just something to think about.
