Hi Everyone,
I enjoyed reading all your posts. They were very insightful and encouraging. I would like to address a thought from Gumby:
'The real question is......did people after him begin to make up stories about a man who didn't fullfill the role of their awaited messiah who was killed and didn't change things for them as they hoped he would?'
The simple answer is this. If the early Christians began to make up stories about Jesus and promulgated false teachings to the world, why would they subject themselves to brutal torture and death for a lie. Anyone in their right mind, even a liar, wouldn't die for it. Surely, one of the 12 would have broken down amidst torture and told the truth. None did.
Thanks again for reading my article.
Hey DJ. We'll keep praying for your Mom. Seems like you're right. You have a pre-apostate on your hands!
