Observing a thread of posts by those who label themselves atheists, I am caused to wonder:
You are asking questions of those who testify of God’s Grace. You are asking questions as to the origins of the Bible. You are seeking, or so it would seem, to understand what Christianity is. This has gone on now for some time. Much of the testimony you have received is solid and sure footed. But you continue to ask for more testimony.
I perceive what you are doing as if you are holding court over the truth we claim. Testimony after testimony is brought before you and you ask another question. When is the verdict due? Or do you think that by this line of questioning you validate yourself? Render a decision. What are you waiting for? You will never gain the proof you’re seeking. In the end it will still be a matter of faith. And you are not new to this cross examination. Look what Paul wrote:
“Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.” (1 Cor. 22-25)
You will search out our testimony. But in the end of this foolishness you will be left with nothing. Consider your own testimony regarding Jesus. What do you say? Render your verdict. The central point of what we testify is that you will give account of yourself to this God you’re trying to prove. Don’t think that you will be admired by Him because you dissected His people’s faith.
By His Grace.
