The crucifixion and resurrection of Christ was predicted multiple times in the Old Testament, including redemption from sin. The fact that the prediction was fulfilled, combined with the many remarkable and miraculous events which occurred in conjunction with the Resurrection is very substantial evidence: (Christ’s tomb was empty; an enemy was converted (Saul of Tarsus); a skeptic was converted (James); the disciples’ lives were changed to the point they preached the Gospel knowing it meant poverty and certain horrible death; Christianity grew in vast numbers during the decades and centuries following the Resurrection.

Throughout the Bible, God tells us enough about his perception of evil. I’m sure you agree with the principle that opinions expressed from ignorance are not valid. (This is why I’m sure your would agree with the need to read the Bible thoroughly when we desire to comment on Christian theology.)

Yes, but it still requires that leap of faith, doesn’t it? There is still no way to know if your sins really have been forgiven, is there?

All of what you say requires a belief in the bible that is the same as yours, right?
