Did the Resurrection Really Happen? (Or, A Reason to Examine Your Faith) 2018-04-04T15:51:01-05:00 Andy Gill

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

In order to find intersectionality and exist within the 21st century, one mustn’t deny critical thought or these arguments, in particular, those listed above. The agenda here is not to shipwreck one’s faith; the agenda is simply to examine why we believe what believe in order that we can live in accordance to whom we were created to be…

There are logical fallacies within this that even the smartest of us will miss…
Your faith does not have to be dependent upon the Bible’s perfection or, the lack thereof.
The Bible’s credibility is not dependent on it’s historical, grammatical, or scientific accuracy…
Logic and “rationale” were not why we embraced Jesus and His message, to begin with.
And, with that said, logic and “rationale” are not necessarily at odds what we believe (or, rather, what our minds do not comprehend and/or what science has simply yet to prove.

We live in a time and a day and age in which it’s hypothesized that although we only experience and perceive 4 dimensions while there are 6 more dimensions we go unaware of; astrophysicists hypothesize that subatomic particles might just be minutely vibrating “super-strings” of space; we’re being told by science that the observable universe is more than what we’ve previously been observing.

The more we learn, the more absurd life becomes and, the more absurd our conscious existence becomes the more possibilities I see in a rational argument for a being, some might refer to as “God” or, at the very least an “intelligent designer.”

Because, after all, why is there something, when there could have been nothing?

Personally, a Christian willing to admit that, with what we know today, the resurrection is and was an unlikely event in history… this is a sign of maturity.

Restating this: Humility and faith go hand in hand.
