in the history of humanity, 40,000 entities have been worshipped as gods or goddesses. I simply believe in one fewer than you do. If you need invisible friends and a guy-in-the-sky, go for it. I have no such needs.
Only one made the unique claims of Jesus Christ.
I simply believe in one fewer than you do.
By dismissing Him and His claims out-of-hand.
If you need invisible friends and a guy-in-the-sky, go for it.
I did go for it, 35 years ago ...
I have no such needs.
Then I assume you have already solved your main problem in this life ... you are going to die soon. Maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe 20 or 30 or 40 years from now. But you are going to die. Science may get you a few more years ... but your death is inevitable. I don't need to convince you of this truth, you know it to be so.
Only one of those 40,000 entities offers a solution to that problem ... and, more importantly, demonstrated that He alone has the power to solve that problem ... by raising from the dead Himself.
Acts 17:30-31
30 "Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent,
31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."
