**that NOTHING can rock our faith in Him.**
Indeed.
But the point of this thread isn't to strengthen us, but to arm us to nurture the tender reeds and to fight off the wolves.

Agreed. I just think we need to innoculate them against WHATEVER may be coming down the pike. The globalists are ruthless and don't care a twit about manipulating reality 12 ways to Sunday to make THE MATRIX look like child's play.
just imho, of course.
Over 500 people witnessed the risen Christ JESUS.
Jewish historian Josephius recorded that Jesus was crucified.
Roman centurions would not remove a man from a cross prior to his death because to do so they would then have been put to death, just as the guards at the tomb would not have abandoned their post fearing death for failing in their duty.
The spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire was dramatic even in the face of brutal torture.
The ignorant peasants from Galilee would have gone home, married their sweet hearts and gone fishing rather than be crucified, or tortured, if Jesus had not risen from the dead and told them to get busy.
Following the Crucifixion Christians were left with only two choices. Jesus was nuts, was crucified and is dead. The other choice Jesus was God in man. If Jesus was nuts why run out and take action that leads to your death?
