How can we tell what we should do? By inner feeling, intuition? By interpreting the Bible? Suppose two people disagree: how can we tell who is right and who is wrong?
It's in the historicity of Yeshua that can be more validated than the likes of Alexander the Great, Socrates, Julius Caeser. Go to the museum of the bible in DC. Luke and Mark were the first written Gospels, from two totally different locations, same context and subject. It seems as if they needed 10-15 years to first ponder such an event and then some time passed for them to realize the return of the Messiah isn't as imminent as they thought so they should probably get it wrote down as they felt inspired by the Spirit of God to write. 12 illiterate homeless men. If the resurrection never happened then dang... 12 homeless men echoing 2 millinea later is unheard of... The response to that usually sounds alot like "well money and power has kept it around" but that can't be so when whole empires and dynasties have collapsed under those same principles.... Hindu apologists will tell you they have a country filled with religious text, then wonder why the Christian comes to India with a different religion, because when they read Jesus, they don't see any forming of a religion among Him and his followers. Lol. Kinda funny if you think about it with no legitimate resurrection... 12 homeless people totally defied 1st century Jewish culture, was able to get this message into India and Turkey and Greece, was able to make a Noble man of the Jewish Sanhedrin, Paul, become homeless for the sake of taking this message to the ends of the earth, all of which ended up gruesomely killed and yet billions can attest to the exact message those disciples continue to reverberate. The evidence of the supernatural and of God revealing Himself to us in Christ. But even more than that, top scientists aren't convinced with evolution, the way its presented. Simple chemicals do not arrange themselves into complex information-bearing molecules, nor do they move in life-relevant directions-unless, that is, biochemists actively and intelligently guide the process. -Stephen Meyer, Doctorate of Cambridge
