Greetings Dear Reader,
I realize how crazy it sounds to some people that I follow a
God who allowed himself to be killed and the rose from the dead. The idea of a resurrected god is not unique
to those who follow Christ.
The problem is that if we follow logical reasoning as our tenant
in pondering the resurrection we need to look at the life of Christ to do
so. I will return to the reasoning of Richard
Swinburne as he has developed an excellent argument for the resurrection. It is predicated on his sound argument for
the deity of Christ.
In his book The
Resurrection of God Incarnate
Dr. Swinburne uses Bayes’
Theorem to build and elucidate his argument. He also points out that those who try to
present apologetics for the resurrection do themselves a disservice by ignoring
this argument.
If I believe that
Jesus is God then it is reasonable to believe that the account of the
resurrection is true. I believe not only
that Jesus has risen form the dead but also that this is vital to the reasons
why we should understand and promote our faith.
The empty tomb is
intended to be a symbol of hope for us that we can live a loving and holy life
knowing it is valid to do so. I am to
see the resurrection as a pivotal event that directly impacts my life.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
