apologetics

This post is in response to three comment I got on my last post, Yes, I believe in God. It became so long that I just decided to make it into its own post. So, I'll try to clarify and expand the four points I made earlier.

Most people seem to believe that faith is completely irrational. Far from it. Faith is simply a particular type of postulate. It is a particular assumption I make that allows me to come to my conclusions. My faith in God has logical reasons, and I thought that I'd share my top four reasons as I posted on my friend's blog:

In my last post I answered objections to the resurrection of Jesus Christ because of the belief that his disciples had dreams or hallucinations about him. The idea that the disciples simply lied and made up the resurrection has been brought up many times so I will tackle this theory.

In my last post I talked about the people who witnessed the resurrection of Jesus, as documented in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8.

3For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

In my last post I talked about how important the resurrection of Christ Jesus is to whether or not Jesus truly is God. Now I will go into why the resurrection is true.

In my last post I made the sound argument that Jesus was a real man who was crucified. This alone means nothing however. It does not prove that Jesus is God. To prove that Jesus is God I, will show that he did something that only God can do. I need to prove that Jesus survived death. The resurrection is the capstone in all of Christian belief.
