Last night, I had a great discussion with a friend of mine. This friend has his Doctorate in Astrophysics. He is a wonderful person I have known more than half my life. We were talking about religion, specifically the philosophy of religion and whether it can be true or not.
This got me to thinking. I really need to go back to the beginning and tell the reason I have for my faith. Last night we spoke about truth. Much of what he used in our discussion was to show how truth may not have been preserved. Okay. I can deal with that. I found the following website (http://biblicism.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/who-says-jesus-existed/) quickly, and it seems to be just what the Dr. ordered! (pun intended!)
I am going to spend some time working on the historical events of Jesus, because my friend is not likely to recognize the Bible as the source of authority. I don't blame him. It is like a person who has stolen asking you to believe that they are not a thief.
So...We shall see where this goes. I am excited for this challenge, as I am excited about how both my friend and I will be affected.
If you are a prayer warrior, please pray for both of us!
Christa
