    Why Cold-Case Skills Can Help You Examine Christianity

    If John was roughly the same age as the Messiah, and if John wrote his Gospel 30 years after the death of the Messiah, then John would have been around 65 years old. That’s not unlikely. Luke was a physician. I was looking at various articles on literacy rates among the Jews living in Galilee...

    Truth or Terror: The Biblical Reality of Apostasy

    I was reading something this afternoon about a false teacher (who flourished from the 1930’s to the mid 1980’s) which reminded me of this thread: False teachers always have a list of things which they assert will help us spot a false teacher. An important lesson from the False Teacher Zone. ***...

    You don’t know; we Jews know

    “You don’t know” but you can know. The creeds aren’t going to tell you what ”we Jews” know. Jesus will; and he has.

    It was an invitation and invitations may be accepted or declined. You said you watched the three video clips and I believed what you wrote. Your testimony rings true to me. You decided not to try it for yourself. That’s good enough for me. It doesn’t change anything between us.

    Why Cold-Case Skills Can Help You Examine Christianity

    Supernatural events have been reported throughout history. The resurrection of Jesus is one in a long line of supernatural events. The atheist detective became involved in the business of examining the events surrounding the murder of Jesus, both before it happened and after it had taken...

    Why Cold-Case Skills Can Help You Examine Christianity

    The author identifies himself as a participant in his writing. At home, or in a synagogue, or in a school. I don’t how you arrived at that conclusion. The apostles are reading / studying scripture and writing letters. Why isn’t it in question? Why does everyone generally agree? They...

    Why Cold-Case Skills Can Help You Examine Christianity

    The reported resurrection of Jesus from the dead is a 2,000 year old supernatural event that calls for a decision. Using every tool at our disposal to evaluate the reported incident is a logical response to help us reach a decision, but no one should ever be forced to do it. Is there a...

    Why Cold-Case Skills Can Help You Examine Christianity

    The forensic tools which detectives use to solve cold cases can help us decide whether or not the testimony about the event is believable. As the ministry which posted one of the videos bragged - I don’t like it that it did - that ministry knows of 59 atheists who have used the tools and became...

    Forgiveness

    We are to love our enemies by treating them as we would have them treat us (whether they do or not).

    You don’t know; we Jews know

    “Blessed be the God and Father of our lord Jesus Messiah.“ Jewish monotheism. He knows that I worship him and he knows why I worship him. Sword rattling and verbal abuse (not to mention physical abuse) imposed by non-Jewish monotheists doesn’t persuade me.
