Dear Sir:

Please consider who Jesus was reported to be, and his
activities on this earth as reported by the early documents.
People do have a desire to know the final ultimate truth
about their existence and their destination. When one
approachs the obvious end of their physical existence, these
questions loom LARGE.
If you really want to know who God is, take a look at
Christ. He did tell his followers, that if they see Him
they also see the Father...You said, there is no evidence
for his resurrection, but at least consider this questions,

"What would cause his scattered,defeated, and dejected followers
to go around their world, and further, and to testify to the resurrection of Christ,
and many of them accept death rather than recant?"

Could it have been mass hysteria, or a purposefully drawn up
hoax, or mendacity, or lunacy, or can an all powerful
God really raise the dead?

Thank you for your consideraton.

Because that is what they truely believed. Why would a person strap dynamite to themselves and detonate in a pizza shop? Blind Faith.

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."

Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
